2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro "Cement"
The Toyota 4Runner is an SUV compact medium, later produced by the Japanese manufacturer Toyota and sold worldwide from 1984 to present In Japan it was known as the Toyota Hilux Surf ト ヨ タ ハ イ ラ ッ クス サ ー フ the original 4Runner was a compact SUV and little more than a Toyota pickup truck with a fiberglass shell over the bed, but the model has since undergone significant independent development into a cross between a compact SUV intermediate All 4Runner were built at Toyota's Tahara plant in Tahara, Aichi Japan, or at Hino Motors Hamura plant in Japan.
Hilux Surf models in Japan are widely exported as vehicles for Somalia Pakistan Afghanistan UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia.
In Southeast Asia the Hilux Surf was replaced in 2005 by similar Fortuner which is based on the Hilux platform.
From 2014 updated the 4Runner is sold in the United States, Canada, Central America, Bahamas, Ecuador, Peru and Chile.
The 4Runner came in at number three in a 2016 study by the ranking of the top 10 most sustainable vehicles in the US The 4Runner was 5 2 percent of vehicles more than 200,000 miles 320000 km, according to the study 1.
The Trekker has been one of the first walk prototype conversions against Toyota trucks in the early 1980s, they were similar to the 4Runner successive conversions made by Toyota, which began production in 1984, but have been designed and built by Winnebago Industries with the approval of the Toyota March 2 Trekkers are no longer a viable conversion when Toyota began producing the 4Runner in 1984 was essentially the Trekker marketing test vehicle for Toyota in order to introduce the 4Runner.
Trekker was produced from early 1981 to 1983, the trekkers were all built on a chassis short box Toyota All trekkers were classified as SR5 by both Winnebago and Toyota, whatever the actual VIN denotation At the originally it was to be a SR5 version Deluxe Trekker, an airy with windows and without all 1981 Trekkers had four poster canopy windows broken windows not fans are not installed on the Trekker until model year 1982 unventilated windows were installed because of the problems of leakage from a front side wind on the 1981 trekkers canopy windows rather than classifying SR5 vs Deluxe.
Toyota delivered all trucks from Japan cab and chassis 25 to avoid customs duty trucks assembled trucks for production Trekkers were shipped to the concession of the national distribution handling Trekker From there they went Winnebago have Trekker installed conversion, returned after the end of the concession for national distribution most conversions Trekker sold went to the west coast of the United States.
The Trekker conversion consisted of a fiberglass tub, bed sides, a non-removable canopy and tailgate The kit includes a folding rear seat which can be folded forwards to lay flat and add the rear loading space There was no tailgate on Trekkers the plant Toyota headlining vinyl cabin was replaced and adapted to trim back awning roof on command.
1,500 of the Trekkers were built and sold in the US An additional unknown number Trekker kits, probably less than 200, were shipped to Canada to be installed on Canadian trucks at dealerships from 20 to 30 Trekker kits were sold Saudi Arabia and shipped for installation.
For the first generation Hilux Surf series N60 specifications and export 4Runner introduced in 1984, Toyota, instead of developing an entirely new model, modified the current Hilux N50 N60 N70 with short pickup bed The body had Hilux underwent a major redesign in 1983 for the 1984 changes in the model year included the removal of the panel with integrated rear window behind the front seats, the addition of rear seats and a removable fiberglass Canopy implementation has been checked both second generation Ford Bronco and Chevrolet Blazer K5 both short bed truck with fiber removable glass shells on the rear sections and with bench seats installed on the back as the Bronco and Blazer, the Hilux Surf 4Runner also do not have a wall attached to the front behind the front seats that regular Hilux made in this direction, the three vehicles are not Conventional trucks with a cover glass fiber included.
Thus, the first generation is almost mechanically identical to the Toyota Hilux While first generation 4Runner had two doors and were indistinguishable microphones dashboard before almost all the changes were in the second half of the body; in fact, because the rear springs are not updated to support the additional weight of the rear seats and fiber glass top, these early models tended to suffer from sagging rear suspension.
In North America, they were sold from model year 1984 in May 1984 For this first year March to July 1984 production, all models are equipped with black fiberglass or white tops A SR5 trim package was proposed that updated the additional interior gauges, best fabrics and a rear seat are standard on the 1984 model package was equipped with a carburetor engine the April 2 and 22R are available with four-wheel drive system leading the front wheels via a solid front axle.
August 1985 Production 1984 saw the arrival 2 4 L 22R-E also called I4 engine EC-22R electronic fuel injection This drives up to 100 hp power figures for the 22R, to 116 hp for the 22R-E engine, though the carbureted engine remained available until 1988 more, the rear seats are available in all trim levels 1985 4Runner, not just the more upscale SR5.
In 1986, the Surf 4Runner suffered a major front suspension design change since it was changed from a solid front axle with independent front suspension Hi-Trac Track width has also been increased to three inches These changes have made the trucks more comfortable on the road, and improving stability and handling the new suspension also increased the space in the engine compartment to adapt larger engines such as V6 introduced in 1987, but probably decreased off-road capability of the truck north American specification Toyota pickup also adopted this new suspension, but the Hilux regularly to other markets at this point held more robust and capable, if less refined, solid axle configuration the 1986 update, the grid Surf 4Runner changed type three segments on the grid two segments Tops were color coordinated in blue, red and ome gold models, while other body colors were still sold with black or white tops.
A turbocharged version of the 22R-E 22R-TE engine was introduced in 1986, although this engine is much rarer than the base 22R-E It seems that all turbocharged 4Runner models sold in the US were equipped with automatic transmission if a five-speed manual could still be ordered in micro turbocharged 4Runner most turbocharged were equipped with the SR5 package, and all turbo trucks had standard rear differential heavier later used in the V6 model low option was a small light in the gauge cluster to indicate turbo boost, while more plush vehicles were equipped with a fully digital instrument panel includes a boost gauge turbocharged and naturally aspirated diesel engines were also available in pick-up at this time as well, but it seems that no 4Runner diesel were imported s in the United States.
In 1984 and 1986, many 4Runner were imported into the United States without rear seats with only two seats of the vehicle could be classified as a truck rather than a sports car and could skirt the most high tariffs placed on vehicles sports and fun most had seats and aftermarket seat belts added by north American dealers after they have been imported.
In 1988, the 22R-E engine was joined by an optional 3 0 L V6 engine, the E-3VZ This engine was significantly bigger and more powerful, but not as reliable as the original offer 4-cylinder trucks sold with the V6 engine were equipped with the same rear differential heavy weight that was used in the turbocharger trucks, as well as a new gearbox and transfer; the transfer case was chain driven, although considered less robust, noise created within the cabin than the old gear unit used behind the four-cylinder engine.
An engine that has not been used in the US market and rarely in the pickup of the Japanese domestic market was the 3Y engine, which was used instead of 22R engine in New Zealand models, followed less often by gasoline 4Y February 2 in later versions this was a decision of Toyota New Zealand to reduce the parts to be stored by dealers as no other Toyota vehicles sold in New Zealand at the time used the engines of R-series
Small cosmetic changes and options were made in 1988 for model year 1989, but the model was left largely intact in anticipation of the replacement model then undergoing final development.
Toyota released a second-generation 4Runner Hilux Surf and in 1989 for the 1990 model year Known as the N120 N130 series, these models continued their dependence pickup Hilux as the basis it represents a change relative to the fundamental model of the first generation instead of a reinforcing pickup truck with fiberglass cap, the new 4Runner included an integrated body, freshly designed steel while mounted on the existing frame, however, remains 4Runner substantially identical to the pillars Hilux B before it has also acquired a new rear suspension coil spring system, unfortunately, proved to be equally prone to sagging that the leaf springs in the back of the previous models.
Almost all second generation 4Runner were four-door models; However, since its launch in 1989 to May 1993, a two-door model was also produced these models are similar to the four-door models of the time in that the bodies were formed as a unit, instead of the peaks fiber glass used in the first generation 4Runner two-door cars of the second generation are extremely rare US sales ended in August 1992, but he continued to be available on the Canadian market until 1993, and Japan until May 1993.
Since the drive train is further developed from the same source, were identical engines available The 2 same 4 L four cylinders and 22R-E 3 0 L V6 3VZ engines were available in rear-wheel drive and made four-wheel drive the new 4Runner used the independent front suspension that had been developed over the previous generation the case of transfer by old style gear was removed on V6 models and they had a case chain now leads the event by old gear was retained on the 4-cylinder models.
The Hilux Surf version for the Japanese market is also available with a range of diesel engines, inclusive 2 4 L turbodiesel I4 2L-TE until 1993 followed a 3-0 L turbodiesel I4 1KZ-TE A small number also made with a normally aspirated 2 8 l diesel 3L I4, 2 0 l 3Y I4 gasoline engine naturally aspirated and 2 4 l 22R-E I4 gasoline engine 4 most Hilux Surf gasoline versions scored 3 0 l Different V6 trim levels were offered in Japan from the basic model by SRG SSR Ltd, SSR-V SSR-X and SSR-X Ltd. to trim range SSR-G Japanese models are distinguished from the 4Runner export specification having a hatchback with lateral opening, as opposed to the 4Runner liftgate.
Most other bodily SUVs produced both by example Nissan Pathfinder Ford Explorer selected tailgates that open upwardly with the closed glass By contrast, the second generation 4Runner postponed the retractable tailgate glass from the first generation opening these tailgates requires first retracting the rear window in the tailgate, then down the door like that on a van.
In 1991, for model year 1992, the 4Runner received minor cosmetic updates, including front bumper in one piece and modular lights instead of rectangular sealed beams increasingly obsolete This facelift distanced the 4Runner somewhat of Hilux pickups that do not get the same cosmetic changes at this time, a larger version body was introduced with flares wheel arch and sun wheels and wider tires.
additional cosmetic changes took place between 1993 and 1995, the last year of the second generation.
The first and second generation 4Runner were both targeted as dangerous sport utility vehicles 1980 and the regulations of the accident in the early 1990s in the United States are not very strict for light trucks and the first 4Runner models were equipped with doors that offer little protection in the event of a collision side in most areas, there was a little more than two pieces of sheet metal and the window to prevent impact incoming vehicles on the passenger crash rating test for second-generation 4Runner was a star for the driver's side in a frontal collision when the passenger has received a 4 star rating later strictest crash regulations mandatory doors that offered as much protection as the doors of passenger cars in the US, 1994 and 1995 models have added side impact door beams.
Airbags for driver and passenger were added in 1995 1996 model year.
Developed under the chief Masaaki Ishiko 1990-1995 under the project code 185T at the end of 1995 for model year 1996, a major overhaul of the 4Runner was introduced with a new body shell over a 5-6 That times- this all-new chassis, it shares almost nothing with the pickup it had originally evolved from, and shared its chassis with the Land Cruiser Prado car with four doors Whereas the transition to the second generation 4Runner was the one which kept the build quality and the options almost on par with the rest of the midsize SUV market, changes to the third generation have the 4Runner in a luxury more oriented vehicle This movement parallel changes made to the Nissan Pathfinder 1996, but moved the 4Runner in a distinctly different class of its older competitors, however, Ford Explorer and Chevrolet Blazer the Isuzu Rodeo third generation 4Runner, look very similar to the second generation.
The third generation 4Runner also introduced new engines that are installed in the first generation Toyota Tacoma pickup trucks.

Significant changes from the second-generation designs include a larger body of a longer wheelbase, increasing the interior space, the increase of the loading space, two air bags, ABS Liftgate, suspension coil springs all around, and the rack towards the pinion, and the glass aerodynamic shape designed further headlights, Hilux surf versions immediately moved to 16 inch wheels and gained a central differential, which allows the use of four-wheel drive on hard surfaces without complication for the first time that the prior solution has been to give the offset flown between and against-wheel drive as before the new 4Runner is also provided with an electrical selectable record factory installed in the rear differential, a first for the 4Runner but available since 1993 in the Land Cruiser T Toyota.
