Watch This Before Buying a Toyota 4Runner 1996-2002 Third Gen N180

In this video I break down the reliability and common issues of the Third Gen N180 Toyota 4Runner form 1996-2002. Quickly, I review the Toyota 4Runner and give a quick final thoughts at the end of the video.

I am no professional mechanic, but I have been talking about cars and figuring out particular issues between each model for a while now. No, I do not know everything. I usually spend hours of research, with a fine eye, to make these videos.

I hope this helped you out with your future purchase or diagnosing any issues you may have!
