Vehicle Description
1986 Toyota SR5 Turbo 4x4 Pickup California Truck with very tidy
undercarriage Rare 2.4L factory SOHC turbocharged I4 engine
(22R-TE) with electronic fuel injection 4x4 with five-speed manual

exterior (code 202) and black cloth and gray vinyl interior (code
FZ11) Power steering and power brakes Factory Toyota Tacoma
black-and-silver alloy wheel What other modern vehicle became such
a stalwart sales success without a model name? For about 20 years,
between dropping the Hilux tag and the Tacoma?s release, Toyota?s
Pickup sold especially well, even though it had no official
moniker. This one, with a rare turbocharged four-cylinder engine
and the Sport Rally 5-speed package, is available at MotoeXotica
Classic Cars. This solid SR5 example comes from San Jose,
California and is in great overall original condition! Made in
February 1986, this truck?s black exterior (code 202) is in overall
very good condition, as are its windows and lights. The truck?s
bodywork is solid, its engine bay is extremely tidy, there?s a
factory battery that looks good and the cargo bed is in good,
original order. There?s even the factory Turbo badge on the
tailgate and the rest of the exterior looks great! This truck rolls
on Firestone Destination LE2 radials, size P265/65R17 at every
corner. Each tire is mounted to a factory Toyota Tacoma
black-and-silver alloy wheel. The wheels are good condition while
the tires are in very good order. New-for-1986 were independent
front suspensions on all Toyota pickups. Under the hood is a 2.4L
factory SOHC turbocharged four-cylinder engine (code 22R-TE) with
electronic fuel injection. Backing this motor is a five-speed
manual transmission (code 151F) and a 4.10:1 rear end (code G292).
The turbocharged 22R-TE (sold from late 1985 through 1988) were
extremely well known for their durability, decent fuel efficiency
and good low- to mid-range torque. The 22R has a large displacement
and a strong block, but its comparatively long stroke and
restrictive head limit its use in high revving applications. Driver
convenience features include power steering and power brakes.
Inside, the bench seat with black cloth seat surfaces and gray
vinyl bolsters are in overall very good order and lend the truck an
air of ?80s authenticity. The gray carpet is in similar condition,
as is the matching headliner. The typical Toyota period-correct
two-spoke steering wheel faces the driver and looks great. The
instrument panel has a full array of gauges with a background graph
paper motif. The instrument panel and inner door liners are still
in very good order, as are the floor-mounted shift lever and the
transfer case controller. Rounding out the interior is a Sony AM/FM
stereo with CD player. In North America, the popular option
package, the SR5 (Sport Rally 5-Speed), was colloquially used as a
model name for the truck, even though the option package was also
used on other Toyota models. The next year saw the introduction of
a turbocharged option, the 22R-TE, perhaps due to increasing
competition from Nissan who already offered a V-6 truck at this
time. The solid front axle was swapped out for an independent front
suspension/torsion bar setup in the 4?4 model in 1986 and optional
automatic differential disconnect for the front differential (an
alternative to automatic locking hubs). Competition to this Toyota
in 1986 was Chevrolet?s S-10 4x4, Dodge?s D50 4x4, Ford?s Ranger
4x4, GMC?s S-15 4x4, Mazda?s B2000 4x4, Mitsubishi?s Mighty Max 4x4
and Nissan?s Hardbody 4x4 Pickup. The SR5 designation was the most
desirable Toyota trim level on the market when these trucks were
new. Sturdy, reliable, go-anywhere ? these were some of the truck?s
hallmarks. If you had one when you were younger or if you always
pined for one and missed the opportunity when they were new, here?s
your second chance. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today to look
this one over. VIN: JT4RN63B1G0035536 This truck is currently
located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on
the odometer shows 157,844 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a
