What buyers say

Reputation: what owners and the press report

Sought after: 4x4 SR5 All years One source so far

Hagerty says the 4x4 with the SR5 package is the focus of growing collector interest, much of it from younger buyers.¹
Sought after: Solid front axle 1984–1985 One source so far

Hagerty says hardcore off-roaders prefer the solid front axle of the 1984 and 1985 4x4s to the independent front that followed.¹
Sought after: Fuel injection All years One source so far

Curbside Classic's writer calls 1985, the year of the fuel-injected 22R-E, the best year to own, when well optioned.²
Avoid: Turbo four All years Less sought after One source so far

Three members of an IH8MUD thread about a 1986 Xtracab with the turbo four agree the turbo is its weak point. One says the stock exhaust is too small, so the turbo runs hot and cracks.³

Every warning and recall for this generation, with a box to tick.
