97 runner. I live in Montreal Qc, so it's basically minus one thousand every morning for 7 months a year here. Issue happens every day when I start it up to go to work.

Thanks for the help people. I cleaned the air filter, and am back to an average of 16mpg. Winter I guess. I'll see next spring if it goes back up to 18-19mpg.

Thanks for the cues guys. The air filter needs a cleaning indeed, have yet to check the spark plugs. And yes, I live in Montreal, and the MPG dropped around the same time it started snowing and getting cold outside... Power and rpms still the same though, and the tail pipe is clean. I'll check...

Hi there. I own a manual 97 SR5 V6 4runner (115K miles). Since I bought it, I've had an average of 18.8MPG, but for the past month or so, it dropped significantly, around 11MPG (same tires, same driving). Possible causes? Could a dirty air filter be responsible for that much of a change? Thanks.

Just bought a 1997 4runner. Runs like new, except for the truck pulling right too. I went to a toyota dealer and asked for an alignment, and after checking it the mechanic said he couldn't do it because a specific part was fixed in rust. He told me it was common of toyota trucks from late-90s...

Thanks a lot to everyone for their advice. Much appreciated.

I only have crappy pictures... don't show much. I'll post some new ones next week during test drive even if I don't buy it. I know the price is too high, but I really can't wait to get one + they're pretty rare around here + I'm no mechanic and I won't buy a 2K rig for a project... But I know...

Thanks a lot for the good advice prado. I'll test drive it next week. And yes, 3.4L

I'm in Montreal, but Canadian $ is almost pair with USD right now. 14000CAD = 13,335.65USD I fear the price is a little high, and I'm aware that this has to do with sentimental value from the owner. I just don't want to get ripped-off. The other thing is that Cruisers are very rare around...

Hi all. Newby here, for I am about to buy my first ever Land Cruiser. A couple of friends of mine own 60 series Cruisers, and I've been in love with those trucks forever. I live in a city, but I recently started a business a 100km from there, so I have to drive a lot through hard country...
