I test drove a 1995 v6 4runner with 92k, it was a 5 speed and it was very loud it made a whining noise through 1st and 2nd gear, i didnt get any higher. im comming from a 1998 4runner automatic which was fairly quiet. the 95 seemed in pretty good mechanical condition. is the whine normal? any...

thanks for all the information, when i bought the policy the agent never said anything about an underinsured policy, uninsured is required. a lesson learned is a lesson learned at least im getting something, more than the other guy in the accident. full coverage next time, and at least i know a...

i did really enjoy the 4runner, a manual or leather would have been nice. my other considerations are a 94-95 landcruiser which arent much more truck than the 4 and alot more expensive relatively, or a 96-00 Range rover which i love but am not sure if i could afford to own one due to gas and...

Last week at five in the morning i was struck by an acura cl who was trying to avoid a turning taxi cab leaving my 4 runner totalled and luckily no one hurt. i only had the car for 7 months. now the question is, should i get another?

thanks, i just had three belts replaced, which would it possibly be, if i only hear the noise on startup? also on occasion when i am driving at highway speeds, 60-80 mph, i hear a whoosh noise that lasts for about 3 seconds, it kinda sounds like something is rubbing and it kinda sounds like a...

over the last month i have experienced a screetching noise when i start the ignition, it only lasts for about a second and if my foot is on the break when i take it off the noise stops. it doesnt happen all the time but it is getting more frequent. any ideas?
