I was working part time for a lumber yard and they had a SR5 long bed they used for light delivery. I was impressed with it because it had 120K on it and still ran great. The fact that it had an odometer that recorded more then 99,999 miles was unusual then as all American cars and pickups did not.
I remember that....A friend took me for a ride in a 81 4 wheel drive...he laughed and pointed to the odometer. Remember the days when ten years or 100,000 was the life of a car? It is fun to see guys in junk yards finding 1970s cars and saying " look...only 89,000 original miles!" That was toast in the toaster then
Steve, hope you are back Soon, today you are right down my alley, I used to build these and drive and race them. First, locking gas cap means it's a Japan built truck, just a flapper door means it was built in California. 20R had hemispherical chambers with intake on one side,exhaust on the other, but spark plug was in the wedge position, 20R had double row timing chain with metal guides, 22R had wedge type head with valves side by side and single row timing chain with plastic guides that would break when you started the engine. Using the 20R oil pump gear spline you could use the 20R double row timing chain/gears/metal guides on 22R up until 1984. The main bearing is unique it is in the center of the block, and all the connecting rods have a small hole when the crankshaft came to top dead center it would squirt oil under piston rings. All four cylinders. Another thing you had to keep an eye on both 20R and 22R carbureted engines had vacuum secondary two barrel, driving easy for high gas mileage the secondary would carbon up and not allow the 2nd barrel to vacuum open. Many of these trucks lived their entire life on one quarter sized throttle plate. Good for mileage,bad for getting out of the way of that log truck at an intersection! Cyclone made a alumacoat header that had little funnels (Anti-Reversionary cones) in each pipe, this one modification increased my top speed from 85 to 100 mph . I also recommend the Zoom heavy Duty clutch. If overheated both this and the factory clutch would slip, the aftermarket one would go again once it cooled off. Everyone switched to the Chrysler wheels so you could Run 15"-78' or even wider bias ply or Radial tires. It came with 14's from factory that dished in. The Chrysler 15's were centered it also handles a little better with wider stance. One more thing, all trucks came with 4.10 non posi rear gears except 4.33 for automatic trans. One more oddity the 4x4 had 4.11 gears, the 4.11 had lots of thin teeth on the ring and pinion, the 4.10 2wd had fewer thicker teeth? If you have 4x4 need to keep them same ratio for hwy use. Either two 4.10's or two 4.11's. Last thing, remember the first Iraqi war, 1981.4x4 Toyotas with lift kits and .50 caliber machine guns? Those were diesel models that got an amazing 38 to 50 mpg and the engines lasted 300,000 to 400,000 miles, we never got these in any numbers on the U.S.A. or if we did they wouldn't sell. Get well STEVE! One more thing,if one headlamp gets dim, there is dielectric grease on the fuses to prevent rust, and a right and left headlamp fuse. Wipe the dirty grease off the fuse headlamp brighten right up!
@@2centsam927 I grew up racing driving modifying Toyota trucks. Each one was like a loyal friend. Right now I have a 1990 Dodge ran 50 4x4 automatic that was a free removal. I'll never sell it, love that truck!
My friend had an 86 sr5 4x4 with a carbureted 22r. It had 6” of lift on it. He got it for 100 bucks after the great flood of 93, because the truck went through the flood. We put a new interior in it, drained and refilled all the fluids, replaced the carburetor, and replaced the bald 33 ground hawgs with 33x10.50 bfg’s .. that was a fun little truck.
Agree. Ford has made an effort with the Maverick, but upon a closer look, it's basically a car. Toyota, Nissan, Courier, LUV and others were great little trucks.
I agree The_R, I use a 92 on weekends and my 99 waits for a frame. I have a 1982 safe in a garage. I had thought to sell one but I'm realizing they are just so easy to use .....simple and working.
That's why the Maverick is doing so good for Ford. Relatively 'cheap' - they started out costing 'just' $20k which is nice compared to the bigger brother trucks that get all the way into $100k territory! It's crazy what a superduty costs nowadays! $50 -$60 for a base XL regular cab 'work truck', up to $100k for loaded Platinum\Limited\KingRanch etc!
Wishing you well as you get better each and every day. As stated last time: The 22R was a 2.4L engine and when it got the "E" designation, that meant it was fuel injected. That is incorrect, fuel injection didn't come around until the next generation (for trucks) starting with the 1984 model year. Yes, the 22RE came out in August of 1982, however I believe that was for passenger car use, not truck use (which again would occur in 1984). These trucks were made at the Tahara plant in Japan. The 20R was a 2.2L engine, not a 2.0L as you might think. Toyota engines don't usually line up with liter size as other manufacturers (like Nissan as an example) often do with their model names and nomenclature, such as the Nissan SR20DE as an example. That is a 2.0L four cylinder. The Chicken Tax was still in place well into the modern era, because Mercedes Benz was doing it with the Sprinter van, sending it to the US from Germany as a "knock down kit" and reassembling it in a South Carolina Daimler plant in the USA. The Subaru Brat was also a "Chicken Tax" beater by having seats and carpet in the cargo bed area. Also, the Ford Transit Connect is made in Turkey and is shipped to the US with rear seats, which are then removed to "convert" it to a cargo van. However, the Japanese just beat everyone at their own game by establishing production facilities on US soil and in turn bringing their suppliers with them. Honda in Marysville, OH as an example has many suppliers within a few hours' drive of the facility. Adding in from last time: No, the last Chrysler passenger car to use torsion bars would have been the 1989 "M" body cars (Gran Fury, Diplomat, 5th Avenue, etc.). You might have meant "Kelsey-Hayes" as they were the typical OEM wheel manufacturer for many of the US auto makers. In 1980, Jimmy Carter closed the "chassis cab" loophole which was allowing manufacturers to install a truck bed locally to avoid the CT. The W50 transmission was produced by Aisin which at one time had a joint-venture agreement with Borg-Warner, but by 1981, BWs ownership stake was lowered to around 10%. That is incorrect on the Toyota Stout being imported to the US starting in 1968, it was earlier. It was imported from 1964 to 1969 and had the 1.9L "3R" engine in it, and was called the Stout 1900. It didn't sell well (some reports show that only four were sold the first year in the US) mostly because the truck wasn't designed for the US market, it was designed for the Japanese market. 1979, not 1978 was the first year for the 4WD Toyota pick-up. Toyota often introduces their models mid-calendar year, a little different than the American companies did back then. Typically, for example a 1979 GM vehicle would be produced from August 1978 to July 1979, although there were many exceptions to that rule (I have seen late September 1979 made Corvettes that were indeed still 1979 models, not 1980 models as you might expect). whereas the Japanese might produce a vehicle in early 1979 as a 1980 model year. It's hard to read the tag, but this should be code "033" White exterior paint.
@@davidadriance5159 I didn't leave it out---I was citing examples of foreign makers on our soil beating the Chicken Tax. Nissan, Honda, VW, Toyota and many others have done it.
Had an ‘86 4WD 5 speed with a factory turbo. Despite my best efforts, I never could hurt the drivetrain. The north east winters, however, killed the frame.
My cousin had a 1980 in Arizona. Paint was a chalky blue and interior was disintegrated from the AZ sun but not a speck of rust and it ran strong well into the 90's. He later he gave it away to a friend who needed a truck for his son.
Good buddy had an 80' 4X4, but it was just a 4 speed manual. Served him well. Pulled the motor to rebuild it. Out so long the axle leaked dry. Finally gets the motor back in, screams out on a test burn and locks up the axle tight. My D50 with the 5 speed, 2600cc with the primary/secondary 2bbl handily smoked all the other brand 4 cylinder pickups back then, including the 22R. Every buddy who had these Toyotas, had serious box corrosion at the seam halfway up the sides. Slowest was the turbo diesel version. Could NOT make 84mph downhill, foot to the floor. Tiny cabs. Both of us are over 6'-4+" and big lads, so pity the poor sod in between us.
Last year of the soild front axle was 1985, not 83. They also offered a n/a diesel engine in them, but its a fairly rare option. My 85 is a 2.4L turbo diesel and its a solid front axle
I had a '83 Toyota 4x4 with the 22r motor. I loved the solid axle up front. Tough truck. Ten years later, I bought a '93 4x4. I liked the looks of the solid axle up front, over the torsion bar, independent front axle.
I daily drive a 1985 Toyota two-wheel drive SR5 extra cab pickup and it does everything I need it to do exceptionally well. I did an '80s style refresh on it so I cruise around Florida with the AC on and tinted windows it's the easiest truck to load and unload in history. low to the ground. Good for my old back!
These things were everywhere in the '80s. I bought an '84 new and you could have either carbureted (22R) or EFI (22RE). I went with the 22R and it was reliable as a hammer. The trans was fine until the countershaft bearing started growling, so I just drove around in fourth (direct drive) as much as possible. In the end, rust won.
The 1984-1985 Toyota Pickups/4runner had a solid front axle. Toyota switched to the IFS torsion bars suspension in 1986 in the pickup/4runners. Sorry bud, Marty’s truck was a 1985 with a solid axle. Though I have read they used a few different trucks, with different interiors. The 1985 sr5 had the vertigo seats, which is how the Toyota nerds identified the two different trucks in the film. Also, you were wrong about the EFI as well, that was offered starting in 1985 22RE in the pickup/4runner
I remember in the late 90’s someone had one of these, 4X4, black with the little graphics on the door, no rust, straight cab with a nice homemade wooden box. Most of these were totally rusted out and gone by then so I always noticed the BTTF truck in town, right up the highway from BER-NARD-STON in Brattleboro.
The E49 charger in 🇦🇺advertise it was a 4speed on the front guard . Back in the early 70s as the E 37 and E 38 were 3 speed Weber equipped 265 HEMI . So it was an advertisement to sell . 👍🏻🇦🇺
400 cubic inch- 4 barrel- dual exhaust.My Brother bought graduated in 65, bought a 442 each year until He got married, in 1971. They were his favorite car. and- several of them were automatics !!
@ThomasSmith-hh8fp I appreciate the comment but everywhere I checked it stood for 4 speed on the floor synchro mesh. I am aware that they came in automatic. I think the very first cars may have all been four speeds but I dunno.
0:11 Steve, you've forgotten about the Oldsmobile 442 - the name signifying a 4-bbl carb, 4 speed gearbox, and 2 doors. And this started back in '64. So yes, cars have been named according to the number of gears before this.
that particular lug pattern also fit a lot of Ford vehicles. I had a 76 maverick, same lug pattern. Toyota Center hole was just a little smaller are used the front rims off of a four-wheel-drive for spare rims for my maverick skinny rim with an 8 inch slick looks stupid, but works great.
Regarding the Hemi type valve cover, remember that Toyota had many years afterwards to learn from Chrysler's mistakes. Given the same date of creation, they may have built the same thing.
i can think of one other vehicle with the transmission listed in it's model marketing: the first olds 442. did not know about the wheel bolt pattern... interesting.
I've got an 82 toyota pickup diesel only came in 2wd and long box (7ft). My 82 has the square headlights not sure if the squares were an option the diesel was more money than the 22r
If i recall correctly, the U.S. military bought these in large count and replaced the tailgate with steel mesh where the TOYOTA name was. I recall a news article from 80’ or ‘81. This didn’t sit well with Ford or GM.
Anyone know if he has ever done a first gen Ford Ranger video? I had an ''88 with a 2.0l carbed engine and it also had a 4 speed+overdrive manual like this Toyota.
We're all pulling for you Steve. Hope to see you back in the Junkyard soon
didn't you see Steve he's in video.
Is he back for good now? There has been no announcement. #lovesteve #misssteve
He’s been back
How about the 442. Long before any SR5!

@ThomasSmith-hh8fp I appreciate the comment but everywhere I checked it stood for 4 speed on the floor synchro mesh. I am aware that they came in automatic. I think the very first cars may have all been four speeds but I dunno.
20R and 22R in top 3 best, most durable engines of all time
0:11 Steve, you've forgotten about the Oldsmobile 442 - the name signifying a 4-bbl carb, 4 speed gearbox, and 2 doors. And this started back in '64. So yes, cars have been named according to the number of gears before this.
400- 4 barrel- Dual exhaust...
Toyota stayed straight axle until 1985 in 4x4 and also carburetors were available until 1986.
Exactly correct, thank you
Those things would run forever......well, at least until they made it to Bernardston's. Lol Hope you're doing well Steve!
Great Trucks. my 99 Tacoma has mopar magnum 500s on her.
My sons 2001 Tacoma has 300K miles on her. Too bad Rust never sleeps.
Hello from Wisconsin.
Steve nice to see you back love your shows keep them coming
That’s a lot of pine needles!!
Another informative video!
what about the 442
Excellent !!
that particular lug pattern also fit a lot of Ford vehicles. I had a 76 maverick, same lug pattern. Toyota Center hole was just a little smaller are used the front rims off of a four-wheel-drive for spare rims for my maverick skinny rim with an 8 inch slick looks stupid, but works great.
Regarding the Hemi type valve cover, remember that Toyota had many years afterwards to learn from Chrysler's mistakes. Given the same date of creation, they may have built the same thing.
Say high to the nurses from all of us commentars Steve.
I think our neighbors back in 1980 had an SR5 station wagon
i can think of one other vehicle with the transmission listed in it's model marketing:
the first olds 442. did not know about the wheel bolt pattern... interesting.
You mean he's not back??
Those were so hot!I just couldn't afford one
pine needles are a wonderful much !❤
I've got an 82 toyota pickup diesel only came in 2wd and long box (7ft). My 82 has the square headlights not sure if the squares were an option the diesel was more money than the 22r
If im correct the olds 442 4 barrel 4 speed dual exhaust
Not the final year for carb...84 was.
Yes fuel injection was optional.
1986 last year for carb’s. Had a 1986 SR 4x4 22R made in May 1986. 1987 Factory service manual has no reference to 22R, 22RE Only.
Cool cool. SR5

Wasn’t 442 originally 4 barrel 4 speed dual exhaust
If i recall correctly, the U.S. military bought these in large count and replaced the tailgate with steel mesh where the TOYOTA name was. I recall a news article from 80’ or ‘81. This didn’t sit well with Ford or GM.
Even later on the US armed forces bought some Toyota vehicles. Some were modified at Fort Campbell before going off to Afghanistan.
SR-5 actually meant something until the early 90's
Anyone know if he has ever done a first gen Ford Ranger video? I had an ''88 with a 2.0l carbed engine and it also had a 4 speed+overdrive manual like this Toyota.
Hi Mags, I hope you are doing well. 🙏
There a may be a te72 corolla sum where if there a 3tc valv cover
