The 1989 4Runner was built on the same platform as the Toyota pickup. Toyota took many steps to make the SUV different from the truck, including making the 4-door model the standard, rather than the 2-door (which became increasingly hard to find).
A new 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder was standard, while a 3.0-liter V6 was available as an upgrade. Both engines came as rear- and all-wheel drive.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1989 Toyota 4Runner absolutely love its off-road capabilities and classic design. Many appreciate its fun driving experience and the removable top, making it a unique vehicle. However, some drivers note that it's not the most powerful option, especially on highways, and that it has limited towing capacity. Fuel economy is frequently praised, particularly in relation to its age."

September 15, 2020i loved my 89 4runner it was my favorite vehicle yet the removable top was a blast. this truck was tough as nails and the only part that ever broke offroad was the rear bumper. although fairly gutless on the highway i could get close to 29 mpg canadian. the truck did burn its share of oil and the 2 doors were a little iinconvient but it was awesome regret selling
August 1, 2009oh my god!! This truck is so much fun.Ive got 33 swampers on it and go muddin all the time.The 22re is a great motor its a 4 banger so its great on gas.The truck only weighs about 3500 pounds so its perfect for playin in the mud or bush.The removable top makes this truck sexy as can be by being able to go topless.She s seats 5 comfortable and 7 if your playin.i will have this truck till i die i just LOVE it!!!!!!!The list goes on and on!!!!
