Hi All. I'm new to the forum. Looking at buying a 4th Gen 4Runner. I've previously had a 2nd Gen, a '95 SR5 w/ 22RE and 5spd, which I loved overall. I cut out the fenders, put some 34x9.5 Swampers on it, welded the rear diff, and had lots of fun! Did some runs with Yankee Toys and lots of exploring around Vermont where I live.
I've read some complaints about the headroom in the 4th Gen. How does it compare to the 2nd Gen? What about legroom? I'm 6'4", 36" inseam, so the 2nd Gen was a bit tight but not cramped
Is there any differences between years? The closest for sale I can find is about an hour away so I'd like to get some info before I get my hopes up
Do the 4th Gens need premium fuel? I'm hoping to get a V8 for the full-time 4WD, and I've never owned a V8 so I figure I'd better get one while gas is still somewhat affordable! However the V6 is always a possibility.
Thanks for any info!
