BeaterToyota

Yep, you have a 3rd gen pickup.

Here are some places for ingine performance upgrades:

Nope, you've got a Sixth Gen pickup.
If it was a 4Runner it would be 3rd gen...

Flamedx4

First gen: 1969-1972
Second gen: 1973-1974 *first longbed
Third gen: 1975-1978 *1975-20R & the first 5 speed introduced, 1976- Hilux name dropped, 1977-SR5 model added and one millionth truck produced)
Fourth gen: 1979-1983 *1979-first US 4x4 model, 1981- 22R & a diesel (31 mpg EPA city!) 1982-83 Trekker sport utility avail. (simply a modified pickup)
Fifth gen: 1984-1988 *1984-first XtraCab & first 4Runner, 1985 first 22RE and the first One Ton, 1986 first IFS, first 22RET, first turbo diesel and the last year of the diesel engine in the US, 1988 the 3.0V6 replaced the 22RET,
Sixth gen: 1989-1995 *All Toyota pickups sold in the US in 1994 were made in USA!
Seventh gen: 1995 1/2 -2004 *Tacoma model
Eighth gen: 2005+ (Over 11 million Toyota light trucks have been produced!)

For 4Runners it's a bit different:

First gen: 1984-1989 *the 4Runner shared the same chassis as the pickup
Second gen: 1990-1995 *4Runner began to differ from the pickup
Third gen: 1996- 2002
Fourth gen: 2003 +

there is 1 thru 4 and historic yotas are called "pre 1 generations"

I did that in fun, I couldn't resist.
I've never heard the "first gen, third gen" stuff anywhere else but on this forum. My father was a Toyota dealer so I've always known that 1984 was NOT the first generation, but hey, whatya gonna do? Swimming against the current is no fun...

well i think ive changed my mind now that i see the cost lol i think ill just put it back stock and try to get the best gas ml. i can. it cost alot more to make this truck go fast than i thot. but thank you for your time

jimbo74

drop a chevy 350 in it... it will be fast

kyle_22r

i do that too occasionally. but usually most people just start when 4 wheel drive was introduced...though you could say that the '75-up downey/wolverine conversions are the 1st gen
