1984-1985 Toyota 4Runner
These 4Runners were some of the most robust and capable 4WD compact cars ever offered in the United States. The 4WD Toyota pickups of the day were based on them and were seriously over-engineered for durability. Jeep-matching off-road capacity was provided by the solid axle and leaf spring suspension at each end of the 4Runner. And the 22RE four-cylinder, fuel-injected engines are almost indestructible. The early 4Runners were much closer to pickup trucks with caps on the back than they were to integrated SUVs.
