I have put 224000 miles on my 1990 Toyota 4-Runner with virtually no problems. It still runs like new. It is truly an amazing vehicle.
My Best Vehicle!

I have had my 4Runner for 10 years now having bought it used with 75000 miles on it. It scared me at first because I thought I was driving a truck after owning a small Honda Civic. This baby has been through thick and thin with me. I have used as a true SUV and not a show car like I've seen in California. Some have complained of now guts or power. I have the V6 engine with a 5 speed and … have NO complaints. The 4 wheel drive works like a charm. I wouldn't own an automatic in a SUV (show car) and I have 250,000 on it and I'm considering a rebuild before it dies. I love this car!
A real trooper

1990 Toyota 4Runner SR5 2dr SUV 4WD
I found this vehicle to be tough and dependable. The roll rate is a little
excessive, but this is probably more due to the progressive rear springs and
oversized 31" tires. Also, it couldn't move out of it's own way. But as a tough
vehicle for work or play, it's an excellent choice. My sister backed into me
with a Corolla, which suffered $3000 in damage, while I took less than … $100
worth of damage. This vehicle is TOUGH. The downside is that the old
4Runner's had a few mechanical flaws, such as a problem with the rear
window mechanism and back end sag.
