Hello house I intend to acquire Toyota 4runner in the future. And from what I have observed, I noticed that 80% of Toyota 4runner being placed on the market for second hand use are 8plugs. So my question is whether the Toyota 4runner 8plugs have any engine problem? |

To the best of my knowledge no problem whatsoever The v8 engine is 4.8 liters and its same engine in the popular Toyota Sequoia, tundra It might consume more fuel anyway Over to the Ogas in the house |

kolnel:Yeah I know it consume more fuel. There must be reason for people selling the v8 more than v6 |

ibbkiddsx: I don' get you. Isn't gas mileage reason enough for the miserly to choose to sell their V8-engined cars on? 2 Likes |

03 to 09 4runner came in two grades 4.7ltr v8 engine --- cast iron engine+, timing belt- == common faults/cracked exhaust manifold, timing belt failure, air induction pump failure..real PITA 4.0 ltr v6 engine ---- aluminuim engine- thus doesnt recover cheaply after overheating, cos of warping, timing chain+, head gasket failure- both specs has thier plus and minus and plus...as listed above 2010 to 2016 4runner is only v6, no v8 yeah v8s plenty for market, even used engines and transmission...this is both in usa and naija. guess after a while people get tired of the v8, and the so callled fuel guzzling......but truth be told..personally a well maintained v8 consumes almost the same with a v6....on the highway, its inside the city n in traffic that the margin widens... if i wanna drive a v8...then its gonna be a big rig, or a luxury brand...2012 tundra or 2010 to 2014 range rover  1 Like |
