The 1985 Toyota 4Runner was an excellent SUV in its day, and a fun one to rebuild today due to such features as a removable top and relatively easy to enhance engine.
The 1984 Toyota 4Runner remained primarily unchanged from the introductory model of 1984 1/2. A new fuel-injected 2.4-liter 22R-E engine was added as an option, as well as standard rear seats. 1985 was also the last year to find solid axle 4Runners.
What owners say
"Overall, owners rave about the fun and versatility of the 1985 Toyota 4Runner, especially its off-road capabilities and reliability. Many appreciate its unique convertible feature and how well it handles tough terrains without breaking the bank on gas. However, some drivers mention the engine's lack of power for highway driving and express concerns about its performance in deep water."
Amazing 4wd. Easy to work on (even though it never needs any work). Great on gas (although the 4 cylinder engine is pretty weak). Convertable pick up suv rock crawler. This thing does it all! My parents owned this car before me, and they would put me in the back as my play pen when I was a baby. I would swing on the roll bar and have a great time and it still runs strong today.
March 16, 2008Fun exploring vehicle. Gets me everywhere without costing a bunch in gas and repairs. I recommend gussets, high steer, lift, lockers, regearing, heavy duty emu spring, etc... for more serious offroad applications. Great mini truck for that punk kid in all of us that wants to run over things.
April 2, 2012I like that it is a tank.but its get-up-and-go not so good, deff not an interstate go-er. appearence: we had it painted not to long ago and we're about to interior stuff but it's still in great condition. it's fun to drive in the mud, through water, so i would say sometimes, yes its fun to drive. =)

August 11, 2009My first "truck." The top came off - making it a semi-convertable. It was fun to drive, safe, solid, and didn't have any maintenance issues. Great in the snow. By this time I am sold on Toyota's, so I bought another one...
May 21, 2011how it off-roads and rock crawls performance is great if you have the time and money to build up the motor and suspension. to build it cost way more then you pay for but is well worth it in the long run
January 12, 2010What is not to love about this wonderful truck-ertable. i mean, no one doesnt love the 4runner epically when it is topless. and, it can go just about anywhere. except through lakes. it does not like lakes or very large puddles
