Rear antilock braking
Wet-weather traction (4WD)
Passenger and cargo room
It's a work horse, it can go anywhere, 4x4 is great, plenty of space, big chunky tires, reliable, and its high off the ground.
with minimal non-essential maintenance. Not the greatest on a hill! But then again, put it in 4wd and it zips up a snow covered hill just fine.

I drove this one for around 2years before my half sister borrowed it and killed it while I was in bootcamp. great off road and bad weather, decent on road, not alot of power, but you don't really need it with going where this baby does. the back seats fold down for more storage, good for a small matress in the woods for "camping" lol

great, reliable, and fun car to drive, particularly in the snow. pick-up style tailgate and a truck frame makes the truck very useful and utilitarian. a little tight in the driver seat for someone over 6'4", but otherwise a perfectly sized truck!

Fairly good gas mileage. Very little upkeep, other than regular check-ups

I like toyotas. They get good gas mileage and can run forever. The only real problem that I have found is that they rust very easy. Other than that great vehicle.
Overview
The 1990 Toyota 4Runner was the first year of the second generation of Toyota's midsize SUV. It featured a complete redesign, not just of the engine or exterior or interior, but of the theory behind it; whereas the first generation of 4Runners had been based on the Toyota pickup, the second would look almost completely different from the truck.
The Toyota 4Runner continues to be a popular SUV due to its ruggedness, modifiability, and seeming immortality. The standard engine was a 2.0-liter inline four, while a 3.0-liter V6 remained a popular alternative.
The 4-door model was standard, with the 2-door option a difficult-to-find add-on. Reviewers have praised nearly everything about the 1990 4Runner, from its lasting exterior to ruggedness in frigid weather to its absolute reliability. The only complaints included fuel efficiency (although some actually said they get good mileage) and highway passing-speed pickup.
