1986 Toyota Pickup 4-Speed

Description

The fourth generation of Toyota's pickup lineup arrived at the height of the compact truck boom as one of the most reliable and capable small pickups on the market, earning a reputation for bulletproof durability that has made clean, unmodified examples increasingly difficult to find. Built on a simple, proven formula of the willing 22R inline-four, a tight manual transmission, and a body that has aged gracefully, the fourth-generation pickup remains one of the most beloved compact trucks ever sold.

These trucks were marketed as "Toyota Truck" in North America, though they may be more commonly known for the Toyota Hilux badge they wore in nearly every other market.

Acquired by the seller in 2025, this ‘86 Toyota Truck was reportedly refinished under previous ownership in cream with SR5 gradient decals and is showing approximately 54,600 miles. The truck's carbuteted 22R four-cylinder sends power to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission.

The brown vinyl bench seat interior features an air conditioning system, manual windows, and a cassette deck stereo. The vinyl floor mat is said to have been recently replaced along with a list of mechanical items highlighted below.

This 1986 Toyota Pickup is now offered with part receipts, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
