My dad had this same pick up. Without a doubt the most reliable, durable and with great fuel economy! Original engine and tranny lasted for 15 years of hard work. So many memories!
I have a 1990 22RE with 224,000 miles. the car still drives like new. I have kept up with the oil changes and minor wear and tear items. Your truck is beautiful! I cannot believe how good the condition is. Thanks for the post!
The 2.2L L-series diesel was used on the 1981-83 models. It was available for four-wheel-drive models as well starting in 1983. Then for 1984, the 2.2L was replaced by the 2.4L 2L-series. For 1985, the turbocharged 2LT version was added, but both diesels would disappear after that year. 1985 was also the final year 4x4 models had a solid axle.
Very possible. That's a common Australian conversion. If you're planning on doing it to a 4wd Hilux, then the original gearbox and transfer case isn't strong enough. However, a Landcruiser driveline is. It's a snug fit, but it works. Another conversion commonly done is the Chevy V6. Australian versions have used Holden inline sixes, and even Buick 3.8 V6 engines. The latter were used on Holden Commodores, but used as RWD mounted engines
Thanks for your offer , but I turned down offers higher than yours, I really love this beauty, so unless it goes for that amount I will keep driving it. Meanwhile I will keep it and enjoy it, thanks
If you can't find them locally, use what we call in Australia the "grey import" market; that's where you have a similar model in Japan, and many of the parts will interchange. It depends on exactly what parts you need, as there were a lot of them sold as diesels in Australia. Today, about 80% of all Toyota commercial vehicles sold in Australia are diesels.
My first vehicle was a '81 Toyota Diesel with a 5-speed. I drove that thing everywhere, it got 28/34 mpg. My only complaint was that it was VERY slow. A little turbocharger and intercooler would really wake it up nicely.
I have to wonder what the hell Toyota were thinking. When Toyota introduced diesel engines in Australia, they just never stopped. Today they still outsell gasoline engined units by a very large margin. Importing them isn't a problem from either Japan or Australia. Importing a secondhand engine from Japan will likely be cheaper, but Australia has the modification skills when it comes to outfitting them as four wheel drives
I would be interested to purchase your toyota diesel pickup if you havent sold it already. Looking forward to hearing from you, I wish you the very best.
Sorry. I should have said something more along the lines of "If it ever gets wrecked some how" but lets hope that doesnt happen. Did you see my second question? thanks dan
they are very rare, but once in a blue moon someone list them on Ebay or Craigslist, most of these trucks are rusted, so it will be worth it to pay top dollars if you find it in the west coast ,
What bothers me is the reason American car makers use for discontinuing a car or an engine. I've heard all sorts of lame excuses, "Diesel has no place in North America", "Diesel is unreliable", "There's no business case for compact trucks with diesel" bullshit like that. How the hell do they determine what people will buy, or want to buy? That doesn't make any sense.
It seems unforgivable that Toyota never offered diesel here in the USA past the mid 1980s. Who the hell decides what vehicles are allowed to be offered with diesel and what vehicles are not? We have heavy duty trucks like the Hino, the Mitsubishi Fuso, the UD Diesel, and the Isuzu heavy duty trucks (probably sold under the Holden brand in Australia). If they can be offered with diesel engines, then why the hell can't a small truck, like the Toyota Tacoma (Hilux), the Nissan Frontier (Navarro),
Yet they forget that just about every commercial vehicle above a certain tonnage runs on diesel. In Japan there's even diesel Corollas. It doesn't help that federal laws make it unviable to build diesel engined smaller vehicles. Something about road taxes I believe. If this wasn't so, Toyota would be the first ones to import them. Australia may tax fuel, but there's no real restrictions on diesel engines other than emissions standards for the model year
yea a Chevy 350 is possible, they got one for sale for 15k with it in it, now if it will just drop in idk.. prob if its a nice fit only gotta change motor mounts, bearings, etc.. no real reshaping of the bay..
So I hear, it's got something to do with some idiotic federal government policy about diesel engines. It's quite all right to have a truck, a locomotive or an earthmover with a large diesel engine, but some peanut in federal Congress seems to think that because diesels are too fuel efficient, they don't earn their shre of road taxes. At least that's the gist of what I heard
If you were to do a chemical breakdown of what's in burnt unleaded fumes, as opposed to diesel fumes, there's a lot more toxins in unleaded than diesel. Diesel only "appears" to be more toxic because you can see it
Iromically, diesels are cleaner in emissions than petrol engines. While you see "black smoke" from a diesel, what makes it black is all fine carbon particles, that are harmless when they land
I agree. The Fed govt. are idiots. They require a car to meet certain safety, emissions, and other standards, but they don't say how to go about doing that.

Nice Truck. Thanks for sharing this video. You're a lucky guy, it's hard to find one.
I have a 1990 22RE with 224,000 miles. the car still drives like new. I have kept up with the oil changes and minor wear and tear items. Your truck is beautiful! I cannot believe how good the condition is. Thanks for the post!

Better than a new truck! Most of the diesels were exported as they were traded in! Love it!
Awesome condition for an unrestored daily driver especially for a rare diesel great video thanks...🤩❤️
Its a testament to these engines, that to this day, today still makes them, 27 odd years later.
La belleza clásica
Beautiful truck 👍
Great truck thank you for sharing. Do you still have it?

She's a real beauty. Almost museum quality. I'd be afraid to drive it for fear of an accident.
Thanks for your offer , but I turned down offers higher than yours, I really love this beauty, so unless it goes for that amount I will keep driving it. Meanwhile I will keep it and enjoy it, thanks
All i want is the engine and tranny and suspension and shipfter and body and frame can be built or remade. Best engine you can get is a toyota.
Una belleza...
BEAUTIFUL. if you lived where i lived, your truck would be a very hot commodity(:
especially since its genuine parts and almost no rust.
Absolutely beautiful.
simply beautiful my friend love it a little for me its a great truck
I have just purchased the same model with 203,000 miles. It runs well, but I am trying to find a good source of parts. Any recommendations? Thanks.

The Toyota is still available I would like to know the price please.
I'm sure that this is gone , but I feel is worth it to tried to see if still up for sale ?
Date of birth in 1982 I am 37 I and this car the same age and still very clean enormous

I had one you could put it in 1st and get out and push. Like 2 rocks. Miss it.
Nice truck dude. How many mpg does it get?
So that's what colour mine used to be before the paint faded! Very nice ute man. Strange that it doesn't have a tachometer?
الله نفس سيارتنا بالصبط ايام حلوة اريد اصلحها
What about model 84 you have
it's been been. chevy 350s have been put in all the small pickups, including the toyotas, the nissans and the isuzus
yea a Chevy 350 is possible, they got one for sale for 15k with it in it, now if it will just drop in idk.. prob if its a nice fit only gotta change motor mounts, bearings, etc.. no real reshaping of the bay..

Are they? I was told over the years that they were toxic to breath in.
I have an 83 in similar condition with low miles if anyone knows anything about the Diesel engines in these trucks please respond
Nice truck! Is this the Izuzu diesel?
what kinda mpg u get?
If you were to do a chemical breakdown of what's in burnt unleaded fumes, as opposed to diesel fumes, there's a lot more toxins in unleaded than diesel. Diesel only "appears" to be more toxic because you can see it
