This SR5 4x4 Toyota Pickup Truck Has a Reputation for Legendary Reliability, and It's Probably True

Very few vehicles, if any, can rival the reputation for quality, durability, and dependability enjoyed by Toyota trucks. The VW Beetle, maybe, and possibly early Honda Accords. No, not even them.
A giant cult following has been loyal to Toyota trucks for more than 50 years, and cemented in place their legendary status in the automotive world. In terms of resale value, very few vehicles can come close.
It turns out there is a pretty good reason for that - these trucks are indeed far more reliable and dependable than most, and as Top Gear found out in a segment a few years ago, almost impossible to kill (see links below).
Probably the most famous of the 1980s trucks like this one is the SR5 Turbo featured in Back to the Future, which Marty McFly has Biff polish up for him before dragging his lady friend off in to the woods. That truck helped push the desirability factor off the charts, and made fans of the truck forever - as a result, collectible prices, always fairly high, are rising faster than ever - many of these trucks were chewed up and thrown away, and despite high production numbers, not too many nice original examples are on the market today.

I bought this exact truck in 1986 except mine was a long bed. Brilliant truck. I bought it when I lived near San Francisco so the weather was cool and the truck did not have air conditioning. No problem. Then I got married (to a woman) and moved to Southern California and it was too hot for no AC. So I sold the truck. And there sums up two of my biggest mistakes in life. Getting married and selling my Toyota 4x4 truck. The good news is that I am no longer married. The bad news is that my truck is gone. Gosh, I miss that truck.

I had one of these. An '86 in '97. It had 311,000mi when I got it. I blew it up on purpose for fun when it had 402,000mi and the engine started to let go on the interstate and I just floored it because it deserved to go out well.

I own an '85 Toyota RV with the 22re and a 4 speed. The odometer was broken when I bought it three years ago; I'd guess the mileage is around 300,000. It burns a quart of oil every 500 miles but I keep putting off an engine rebuild and it keeps getting 18 mpg on 1000 mile round trips to Georgia.

I've watched many Toyota truck videos, and yours is uniquely informative and interesting- KUDOS, WELL done!

[@MetalTeamster]

Let me help a bit...the 22 R / 22 RE engine is absolutley bulletproof if a person maintained them properly, and that includes replacing the collant every couple years which few people did. If the coolant was left in them for too long it became acidic and would rot the head gasket, I replaced one in an 86 SR5 4x4 in 1993 which only had 40k on it. The valves were fine of course, simply cleaned everything up , put a new fel pro permatorque upper end gasket set on it, and it ran for decades afterwards with coolant and oil changes. I had another friend who had a 86 " one Ton " pickup with the 22 RE engine and he did proper maintenance and got almost 500k on his without it ever being apart. Great vid by the way Bill , and check the 1981 as first year of the 4x4 in North America. I believe it was 1979.... :-)

Fart in there and youd pass out then run off the road that cab was so tight. The xtra cab one I had was so much more useful/roomy. Thing was when I owned these back in the 90's/00's they were just old/cheap, now days these are collectible or completely wore out and 20 year old Tacomas are insanely priced(especially 4wd)

Only other group of cars I've found to be just as reliable or more robust as these Toyotas would be later fuel-injected redblock powered 3-digit Volvos (240, 740, 940), earlier carbureted Volvos (P1800, Amazon, PV series, 140's, etc), and W123/W124 diesel Mercedes. My 1989 Volvo 244 DL with the 2.3 B230F redblock has 985k miles at the time of this comment with the original motor and transmission intact, me as the eleventh owner. I also own a 1993 Volvo 245 wagon with the same driveline with nearly 600k miles, and another 91 wagon with 375k. All three run and drive excellently. My other Volvos range from 99,000 miles to over 300k and, with very little work, these old redblock cars can be made to run and drive extremely reliability as a daily even in 2021! The Volvos seem to find their extreme reliability from their simplicity and the great build quality of the driveline. I can take a 2.3 redblock apart and have it rebuilt in a day's time, ready for another half million miles (or more). Tough and robust. The turbo cars do suffer from the typical faults of mid-80s turbocharger engineering, but are still very robust - the only old Volvos that had any trouble were the 260 and 760 series that possessed the mostly heinous 2.7 PRV V6.
