my grandpa used to have one of these trucks, he drove it until it had almost 300k miles on it, clutch was almost gone, and the whole body was rusted out. he still says it was his favorite truck ever, absolute monster of a machine

What kinda gas were they running to get 22 mpg. I get 13 on a good day 😂

I used to get around 21-22 with my 86 but it was a 4 cyl. I believe the truck on here is the gas guzzling, underpowered 3.0 V6.

Correct Sir, 3.0L 3VZ-E V6 w/ 145 hp My 1986 4 runner had the 22RE 2.4L 4 cylinder w/112 hp. There was also the very rare 22RTE turbo 4 cylinder w/135 hp (I wanted one soooo bad!!)

it’s actually an i4. specially the 22re. insanely reliable. i have well over 200k on mine. the v6 had head gasket problems but still a decent motor

@@calebpattillo6732 Were these first 1 or 2 years of the 3.0 3vze v6 also prone to head gasket issues? Thought I had heard that like 1990 was when the head gasket material had to quickly be changed to no longer have asbestos, and that hasty design change (w/o enough testing R&D) is what resulted in all the HG problems. Either way, I've got 2 pickup 4x4s and 1 4Runner, all w/ the 22re so I'm a-ok.

My 1988 Toyota 4Runner is still alive and kicking!! Unlike this fool!! Lol 😂

A quick google search of "Graeme Fletcher" seems to show he's still alive. Also, I've got an '87 non-SR5 manual that I've had for less than 2 years now. I love it! Swapped in an SR5 gauge cluster to get a tachometer. Would be extra sweet if if was one of the rare turbo 4Runners, but I've yet to see one in-person. Great vehicles.
