Sportel Caminutility Vehicle: 1991 Toyota 4Runner
The second generation (N120/N130) Toyota 4Runner is known around the globe for its legendary reliability, ruggedness, and durability. Equipped with Toyota’s 22R inline-4 or 3VZ V6, it was also known for going to distance with basic maintenance and isn’t a bad looking SUV from an aesthetic perspective, unless you hack the rear tailgate off and turn it into a Ridgeline looking El Camino thing…and then…uggg. Don’t get me wrong, usabiliy will be great for tailgating, throwing your boogie boards in the back, or setting up a tarp-tub…but…it isn’t going to win any design awards. Find this 1991 Toyota 4Runner Pickup offered for $5,000 in Canoga Park, CA via craigslist.

Not a word about the poop squat/perma-wheelie?
These all did/do that. Rear coil spring sag. Even the 3rd gen 4Runners were afflicted by it after a few years of use. A replacement set of Moog springs are $67 on amazon, I ran them for over 100k before I lifted mine, never sagged again. Or you can throw a $35 set of spacers on there.
My rear started sagging when I hit 40 as well…oh…
Remember how I was saying that the 1990 Cadillac Seville STS a few days ago looked like a four-door pickup?
I kind of like this. Kind of don’t like the color so much
Yes. It has the same totally vertical C-pillar look. Sorta like the new Ford Maverick. Don’t google it if you’ve got a full stomach.
I love my Toyo’s but this is fugly and that 3.0 is due for some headgasket problems if it has not already been blowed up.
