the 3VZ-E or 3.slow v6 was one off toyotas worst ever engines known for head gasket failures and this 1st gen 4runner with the ifs and v6 was junk but still alot better than most 4wd on the market then ive owned a few off them and they are bloody good of road plus the head gasket can be fixed in a few hours so if ya see one cheap with blown head gasket grab it and fix it not a hard job to do

@@micktaylorwolfcreekmechanical Allegedly, the first year of the 3VZ still had asbestos head gaskets and thus didn't have problems with them blowing out, the idea being that the updated head gasket they equipped later engines with was flawed due to something about it being changed when they omitted asbestos from the design. I wouldn't know from experience; I steered clear of the v6 and specifically sought out a 22RE truck ('94, Xtracab, 4x4, manual transmission, manual hubs).

Right Lane Hog yes, for a long time. I remember when Toyota Camry came out with a 2.5 L V6 in the late 80s that had 152 hp. That seemed like a lot. Previously the only way to get that sort of power was to get a BMW or an Audi turbo. However, my mother bought a 1989 eagle premier with a 3 L V6. It had 160 hp. Quite a lot for the time. It also had factory keyless entry which I don't recall ever seeing on any car at that time. It also had climate control. Power mirrors on both sides. Overlooked in large part.

I had a 2004 (4th generation) with the 4.7L V8 and drove it for 15 years. No significant mechanical issues but rust/corrosion did the frame in. While I liked the size, power, and towing capability of the (V8) 4th generation, I always had a soft spot for the (V6) 3rd generation (1995 - 2002) due to it's appearance, slightly smaller size, and availability of rear locker.

My 2015 Versa Note can do 0-60 in less than 9 SECONDS. Not a whole lot less to be sure! That's with the CVT and 109 HP. There's an article somewhere that says a Boss 429 could do the 1/4 mile in 14.4 seconds. It was a chore to drive, horrible brakes and corners, well let's just say were way more than a challenge. On the other hand, a Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 could do the 1/4 in one second less. I only mention this because someone was talking power. Oh, and the Mercedes could corner, brake and carry 4 people without anyone losing fillings in the process.

I have a friend who’s father and grandfather bought new Toyota trucks with the 2.2 (22re I believe) in the very early 90’s. These 4runners also came with this motor (although this particular video is about the V-6). One was an extra cab automatic, the other was single cab 5-speed. Both have over 500,000 miles; I know for sure the 5-speed has 670,000 (it had that around 3 years ago and he is still driving it daily). Some of the most reliable engines ever produced. I actually had a late 90’s 4-runner with the V-6. I sold it at around 350,000, it was still running great. It was underpowered imo, but did the job and was great off road with its rear diff locker and low range transfer case.

$22000 US in 1989 Is almost $45000 in 2020. The 4Runner have always been in my family (various uncles and cousins owned) since the 1st Gen to the latest 2020 limited and is on my radar for purchase as soon as a new design comes up.

Yupp. The best all around wheeling,camping,daily driver, rig ever. Mines built with 40" tires gets 16mpg all Toyota parts. Build a 1989 jeep with 40's and the only thing left is the grille.

$22.k in 1989 is equal to about $47.7k in 2020. A 4WD base model 4-Runner in 2020 with an audio upgrade goes for about $40.5k. The 2020 base model will have more equipment than the 1989 up-optioned 4 Runner. So effectively the 4-Runner has gotten quite a bit cheaper over the years.

I paid $42,500 out-the-door for my 2020 SR5 Premium. Includes tax, title, and interest. Agreed, the price is reasonable for what you are buying. Body-on-frame traditional style SUV with a 20+year lifespan. I should still be driving this in 2040... only put 4000 miles on it in the past 18 months.

Where do you hear that the 3VZ-E is a bad engine? It is a pretty darn good engine. Many have 200,000+ trouble-free miles as long as the head gasket recall was done and they were taken care of. The 22R-E also blows head gaskets with age and the timing chains wear out. The 3VZ-E is almost as reliable as the 22R or 22R-E in reality.

The model they reviewed here looks like a 1988 due to its graphics, which as far as I know only came in 87 and 88. 89 had a one year graphics package that's totally different.
