Most reliable late 80's early 90's mid sized SUVs?

I am 16 and looking for a first car. I had been looking at '88 Toyota 4runners for a bit and liked a lot of aspects of the truck but couldn't seem to find one for sale. Can anyone give me some suggestions. I need something reliable, long lasting, prefer 4wd, and fair in terms of gas mileage. I really don't like any model of car after '98 so withing the dates stated in the question are preferred aswell.
Thank you to anyone that helps and death to those who leave worthless answers.

I'd say you're right on track w the 4-runner. Very reliable and easy to work on. Look for one for sale in a southern state if possible as they tend to have less rust. (relatively speaking)
