2005 4Runner SR5
~179K
4x4
Cylinder #4
All the typical symptoms. Its at the shop now. My mechanic says its an extremely tiny pin hole of a failure as it only lost 6# over an entire weekend. It must only leak under certain conditions during the cooling down of the engine after the truck is turned off. He is putting together pricing for new hg.
I am thinking about trading it in on an 07 with 92k, but I am not sure I can ever trust this v6, or Toyota for that matter, ever again. 3rd gens went for 300k with poor maintenance, and Toyota sold the 4th and 5th gens, with junk engines, on that reputation. Not sure what I can do at this point, other than get a 4 cyl taco. If I was ok with buying a truck that only went 150k, even with very good maintenance, I'd get something much cheaper than a 4runner. Shame on Toyota for not acknowledging this!
