They should have called these the "Indestructible", but instead
Toyota just simply gave these little haulers the humble "pickup"
name. But no matter what you call it, you get excited when you can
find a fine example like this 1986 Toyota that's so well preserved,
and it has features like fuel injection and four-wheel drive.
You likely already know this truck well. It was the vehicle that
got you through school and/or never gave up on the jobsite. But the
best part is the preserved condition of this example. The cream
color paint is original, and it radiates the kind of gloss and
shine that tells you that this has led a comfortable life. Even the
decal stripes are believed to be original. And you can really see
someone respected this truck. The sheetmetal has an amazing fit and
finish after nearly 35 years. So while that long bed may have you
thinking about all the extra chores you can tackle, you should put
down a liner first: this is a tough truck, but it has also earned a
ton of respect.
Inside, the two-tone cloth bench looks great and provides plenty of
comfort. Plus, with the fold down center, individual bolstering,
and individual recline, they feel more like buckets. The door
panels, dash, and floor all are in coordinating shades of
brown/tan, and so the whole interior feels like a well-done time
capsule. Everything is correct, right down to the AM/FM cassette
and digital clock in this survivor truck. Plus, while there are
provisions for air conditioning, the sliding rear glass and side
vent windows provide the ideal breeze through the cab that you want
in a classic truck like this.
The miles are believed to be actual on this truck, and so it has
averaged under 2,500 annually. That's how everything looks so
crisp, clean, and preserved - including in the engine bay. This is
what's believed to be the original 2.4-liter 22R motor, and those
who know Toyotas understand that this is one of the hardiest motors
around. In fact, it's so clean, you'll proudly show it off to
everyone! The advantage of fuel-injection means this one fires up
with an eagerness that reaffirms the everlasting nature of a
well-maintained Toyota truck. The two-speed 4x4 transfer case, tall
4x4 stance, and Toyo Open Country tires means this continues a
go-anywhere reputation. And when that just means running to the
shops, you also have the ease of a power brakes w/discs up front
and a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive.
A survivor like this needs the right paperwork, and so the sale
comes with the original window sticker, owner's manual, and
maintenance records. You already know how great these Toyotas are,
so don't miss your opportunity at such a well-preserved example.
