The interior was also updated, with soft-touch door trim, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, revised dashboard and center stack, and the inclusion of Toyota's Optitron instrument cluster as standard across all trim levels. The interior is in very good shape and feels like new. Major standard features included a tilt and telescoping , remote , single zone automatic climate control, power driver's lumbar support, power rear tailgate window, and on V8 models a tow hitch receiver bolted directly to the rear frame crossmember. In 1985 the engines had another major overhaul, with essentially all major parts being changed in one way or another. In 2009 with the end of this generation, Toyota Japan ceased production of the Hilux Surf, leaving only the 4Runner available in the subsequent model series.
The four-cylinder could deliver 116 hp with a torque of 140 foot-pounds, while the V-6 was capable of 145 hp at 5,000 rpm, generating 180 foot-pounds of torque at 3,650 rpm. From left to right are a Trekker, a 1st generation 4Runner, and a 2nd generation 4Runner. Additional cosmetic changes occurred between 1993 and 1995, the last year of the second generation. With the new brakes this truck stops on a dime and it has powerful brakes. In 1991 for the 1992 model year, the 4Runner received minor cosmetic updates, including one-piece front bumpers and modular headlamps instead of the increasingly outdated rectangular sealed beams. Non vented canopy windows were not installed on the Trekker until the 1982 model year. With only two seats the vehicle could be classified as a truck rather than a sport vehicle and could skirt the higher customs duties placed upon sport and pleasure vehicles.
The I4-powered pickups provided 19 mpg and 22 mpg under city and highway driving conditions. Both engine versions came with a standard five-speed manual transmission with overdrive and an option for an automatic four-speed. Nothing was spared, only top quality. The older style gear driven transfer case was phased out on the V6 models and they now had a chain driven case. The 1989 Pickup was available with a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual transmission.
Another popular four-wheel-drive truck model was the Toyota 4Runner. However, the 4Runner did remain virtually identical to the Hilux from the B-pillars forward.

More ergonomic switch control panels and a newly designed 4 spoke steering wheel, which also necessitated a redesign of the airbag system. An Automatic Differential Disconnect was also available as an option. This upped the horsepower numbers from 100 hp for the 22R, to 116 hp for the 22R-E Engine, though the carbureted engine remained available until 1988. Trucks sold with the V6 engine were equipped with the same heavy duty rear differential that was used in the turbocharged trucks, as well as a completely new transmission and transfer case; the transfer case was chain driven, although considered less rugged, created less cab noise than the old gear-driven unit used behind the four-cylinder engine. Thanks for a great reference. Exactly what I was looking for.
Although the engine has limited amount of power, with the most ever seen coming in at 114 horsepower, these durability numbers helped to build a quality name for Toyota that is still alive to this day. Wiring diagrams are black and white, but they frequently have color codes printed on each line of the diagram that represents a wire.

Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any statements about the vehicle. Significant changes from the second generation models include a larger body on a longer wheelbase, increased interior space, increased cargo space, dual airbags, , lift-up tailgate, coil-spring suspension all around, rack and pinion steering, and aerodynamic contour designed glass headlights. The 2002 model year can be distinguished from the rear by their chromed lift gate exterior trim that encompasses the license plate. The 3-liter produced 150 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 185 feet-pounds of torque at 3,750 rpm.
The cylinder bore was measured at 3.

Japanese models are distinguished from the export specification 4Runner by having a side opening tailgate as opposed to the 4Runner's lift-up tailgate.
The prior system was retained to give on-the-fly shifting between rear- and four-wheel drive as before. Track width was also increased by three inches. The implementation was borrowed from both the second generation , and the , both short-bed trucks with removable fiberglass shells over the rear sections and having bench seats installed in the back. In contrast, the second generation 4Runner carried over the retractable-glass tailgate from the first generation. The redesigned bumper eliminates the rear bumper reflectors. The 3-liter got 15 to 19 mpg in the city and 18 to 25 mpg on the highway, depending on transmission and drive train options.
This allowed the cylinder bores to avoid ridges throughout the life of the engine. From left to right is a leaf sprung solid rear axle, 4 cylinder foreground and V6 third members background , and a 4Runner coil sprung solid rear axle. Additional cosmetic changes occurred between 1993 and 1995, the last year of the second generation. From there they went to Winnebago to have the Trekker conversion installed, returned after completion to the dealership for national distribution. I installed a lot of brand new Genuine Toyota parts on this truck. It has an original catalytic converter. Developed under chief Masaaki Ishiko from 1990 to 1995 under the project code 185T, in late 1995 for the 1996 model year a significant redesign of the 4Runner was introduced, with an all-new body shell on an all-new chassis.
