CarComplaints.com Notes: Although it has a stellar record in terms of vehicle problems, initially the 4th generation (2003 - 2009) 4Runner didn't earn our top "Seal of Awesome" rating because it received poor crash test ratings for rear impacts. However it's proven to have one of the lowest driver death rates out of all vehicles (not just SUVs), so we've bumped it back up to our top award.
First time Toyota replaced the belt at 25000 km At 50000 km I paid for it.
I was told it is a maintenance problem ? and Toyota would not replace.
A fan belt should last 100-150000 km.
I am now at 112000 km and (62000 km on last belt) just give the belt a little dusting with the belt dressing once a year. The spring tension on the belt is not adjustable.
