Well you left us with many choices....The 4 runner came out in 84...These were straight axle front end and a convertible top...They only came with a 4 banger with a carburetor...In 85 you had the same truck but fuel injection was an option....These are the most sought after of all the 4 runners...They are easy to lift,they are fuel injected with gas saving 4 cylinder engines with removable top....86 they went to independent front suspension...Still same body style......89 we had major changes.....Hardtop only and they came with their all new v6 motor....These were junk and were prone to head gasket and head failures....Their were many recalls for this engine....They really didn,t get the problem solved until the mid 90.s...95 they came out with their all new v6...More power,a little less fuel mileage but a great little motor....So thats the story of the 4 runner...Me i,d go with the flow and get a 85 fuel injected 4 runner...Sure you,ll have to look around for a while and probably pay a little more money but the resale on the truck we always be good...You,ll have your snow truck then in the summer you can take the top off and go camping and 4 Wheeling in style...Parts are cheap and gas mil age is good...You can,t go wrong with an efi 85 runner!!!
