1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Drive Your Dreams with a Legendary SUV Built to Last
At Tom Tepe Autocenter in Milan, Indiana, and Car Country in Aurora and Harrison, we know some vehicles earn their reputation the hard way through decades of proven performance, reliability, and capability. The 1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5 is one of those legends, and this example is ready to serve drivers across Southeast Indiana, Greater Cincinnati, and Northern Kentucky with that same durability and go-anywhere spirit.
Finished in distinctive Lavender Steel Metallic, this 4Runner has that classic SUV stance, tough yet refined, perfect for daily driving or tackling your next weekend adventure. Under the hood, it's a 3.4L V6 that delivers the kind of torque and dependability Toyota is famous for, while the proven 4WD system gives you the confidence to handle snow, rain, dirt roads, and trails without hesitation.
Step inside, and you'll find a cabin designed for comfort and utility. The front bucket seats provide supportive seating, whether you're commuting to Cincinnati or exploring the backroads of Indiana. Paired with a tilt steering wheel and cruise control, it's easy to settle in for longer trips. The power moonroof brings fresh air and open-sky views, turning even an ordinary drive into something special.
Practical touches are everywhere. Power door mirrors make adjustments quick and easy, while air conditioning keeps you comfortable in every season. The rear window wiper and wide visibility are especially useful for winter weather and muddy trail days. Safety is built in with dual front airbags, speed-sensing steering, and solid anti-roll protection features that add peace of mind without sacrificing capability.
The 4Runner's body-on-frame construction, legendary reliability, and straightforward design mean it's as ready for another 25 years as it was on day one. Whether you need a dependable daily driver, a family-friendly weekend hauler, or an adventure-ready off-road partner, this SR5 checks every box.
At Tom Tepe Autocenter and Car Country, every vehicle, including this classic Toyota, receives a full ASE-certified inspection and is priced at or under market to ensure exceptional value. It's all part of why drivers from Milan, Aurora, Harrison, and beyond trust us for their automotive needs.
