What kind of problems does a Toyota 4Runner have?
If you’re interested in a used 2003-2009 4Runner, especially a 2003-2005 one, there are signs indicating a head gasket failure. These include leaking coolant, white exhaust smoke, an overheating and/or poorly-running engine, and bubbles in the radiator or overflow tank.
Why does the head gasket fail on a Toyota 4Runner?
The head gasket, according to Advance Auto Parts, is essentially a giant seal. It separates an engine’s combustion chambers from the rest of the block. This way, oil, dirt, and coolant don’t get into the chamber and foul it up, and the engine runs properly. However, like any other physical part, head gaskets can fail.
