- 1985 Toyota pickup 4X4 diesel. Can you believe this?!!! What a RARE find! This factory original dually turbo charged diesel 4X4 is in showroom pristine condition. 5 speed standard transmission, standard locking hubs, opening rear window, sunroof. Not even a scratch in the box! It is a true survivor with original factory paint and options right from Toyota. Incredible fuel economy at 5 liters per 100/KM (56.5 MPG). What a fantastic little truck. I have no idea how many of these were made, but I'd bet IF there are any others in the world, there cannot be more than a few.
When Ryan showed me this truck I immediately asked if I could make a video of it. I'm trying not to be filled with envy or jealousy, just glad that someone who recognized it's value bought it.

That is an incredible find for someone. The box and fender sides being completley free of rust is a mind blower! I was not aware these trucks were available with duals. I bet it purrs like a kitten on the highway, the fule mileage is out of this world and no DEF!! That is definitely one rare and very special piece of gear!
Yes they weren't very common that's for sure it is probably the only one in the world like it especially in that shape.
And the fuel mileage is incredible as they all should be. if they could do that in 1985 why are we messing around with the computers and garbage now with not nearly as good of economy.
What a gem
Absolutely! I think this truck is probably the finest example of that truck left in the world. I'd be surprised if there is another anywhere in such good shape with that many original miles on it .
Thanks for watching.
Stay tuned for more my friend
What a find! That's a huge tray too dude. My 2010 ute had 344,000 km on it.
That '85 Toyota would be bullet proof
Totally. I couldn't believe it. I wonder how many of these were built & if there's other survivors.
Toyota dually is probably the rarest mass produced old truck on earth. Unless Nissan or Mazda made one. That truck belongs in a car museum.
I agree with you, it is likely the only one in the world in that condition.
Thanks for watching and for your comment . stay tuned for further nonsense and entertainment my friend.
Doesn't belong in a museum, it belongs on the road, being driven and loved and taken care of, not packed away to die.
@@johnnygeorgopoulos4072 yes. But keep it off the salt roads in the winter!
That's the first dually Toyota I've seen!
It's like it came in a time machine. NO rust!!!
Yes. Truly amazing that it survived this long. Careful use and storage. It's probably the only one in the world.
I've seen camperized Toyota duallies before, but not pickups that I remember.
Rare as hens' teeth for sure.
How cool is that! Love it. Thanks for showing, and as always God bless and all the best!
Quite the rare jewel this time hey? I couldn't believe it.
I'm no Toyota fan, but that is most interesting for sure!
nice and clean,must keep it clean like my brother in law he cleans ever inch of his cars for hours ,you never find any dust on any
Yes. The real issue here is they spread salt in the winter and calcium for dust control in the summer. Keep away from that garbage and it can last for a very long time.
@@lovesloudcars they just use grit and salt in the winters when the council can be bothered
@@lovesloudcars hey I used to spread that calcium 😅
It also destroys leather gloves and workbooks 😅
@@2GringosOnTheGulf yes. It might keep the dust down, but I'd prefer the dust over that crap getting all over and into everything.
I've got a little s-10 blazer that had a perfect body. Drove it sparingly and washed it carefully. 2 years later it was ate out.
Now I have a ( I have 4) but one nice Nissan patrol right hand drive diesel. That's never seen the snow or calcium roads. 33 yrs old, perfect shape.
I've never seen a duly version of that i've only seen the regular versions
Crazy hey? I've seen diesels before and dually camper versions but I don't think a truck like this one. Factory built had to have been pretty rare. Finding one now-? This one is likely the best if not only one in the world.
Looks like. Sky hook to me 😂😂😂😂😂
Good find, that"s an awesome mpg you post. My 2.2 litre 2012 Land Rover Defender gets 27 mp (Imperial) gallon or 22.5 mpUSg. Well it did last time I drove it Nov 21, if I walk too fast now I bump into things 😎, my brain is outliving my body 😮 and long may it do so.
I hear you on the sky hook thing. Seems to me there's 3 of you that came close. Now to figure out who's the winner? Off to work at th moment. Almost 6am
I'll gracefully withdraw, poor eyesight and flying sparks are a recipe for disaster, I recall an inferno you filmed 🔥.
Enjoy your work, I did, it seems you do too.
@@750VFR Oh I most definitely enjoy my work. My real problem is the inability to recognize when I have collected too many projects. This causes a sense of being overwhelmed and not knowing where to start.
But today I'm on my way to work to drive gravel truck so The Choice has been easily made. Have a great day my friend.
Sickest fuckin truck!! Dream truck
@byronbass5485 isn't it though??! Absolutely perfect shape. I bet there's not another original truck in the world in better shape than this one.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more content my friend.
Believe it or not my neighbor had a 2wd dually with a diesel. I always assumed someone made it as it was the only one I'd ever seen. But now that you've shown this it must of been factory. It was in really nice shape. But that was in the mid 90s.
I have seen a couple, but they were set up for campers I think.
They gotta be pretty rare I would like to find one they're good on fuel.
@lovesloudcars he had sold it wanting a full sized chev pickup around 98'. He thought that was ridiculous on fuel so he traded it for a ford ranger and claimed that was harder on fuel then the chevy lol. He mentioned several times until he died he should of kept the Toyota.
Wow. The inside of that bed looks like it's never seen a day of work.
Exactly. The whole truck is like that. It's amazing. I'm guessing it is the only one in the world like that.
God that thing is gorgeous, i wish i had the money to offer him right now 😅
Crazy hey? I doubt very much that there's another one like it in the world. Won't be a powerhouse, but you could drive to town on a thimble full of fuel!
Thanks for watching and for your comment. Stay tuned for further nonsense and entertainment my friend.
Please be advised that at 2:52 I can see someone removed the Panhard bar that goes between front solid axle and chasis. The function of this Panhard bar is to avoid the so called axle wrap.
Interesting. I'll forward that along to the owner.
It takes someone who knows what they're looking for to even notice stuff like that.
I'd love to have that ❤ dully wow wicked
Totally. Perfect little truck. Unbelievably great shape.
What was the gvw and gcvw on it i would guess it tow/haul a little more than a 1/4 ton mini truck
I'm not sure actually. It would be under powered for pulling much, but it was probably fairly sturdy as far as weight goes. Pretty cool find in such great shape though hey?!
@@lovesloudcars it is cool, but a very odd spec for a truck. It does not look like it could even do the work of a 1/2 ton.
@@oldreliable303 the original owner had a camper on it. He'd drive it to Arizona for the winter.
How much do you sell it if you sale it
He wasn't planning to sell, but it would have to be probably above 40 thousand .
It's certainly one of a kind hey? Fantastic find.
I'm guessing this was 20k or more
More. But as you think about it, what would a brand new version of that truck sell for now? That vintage or new- I'd definitely take the one without all that crap they put on the new ones.
Nobody expects to find a vehicle or machine being built now still working in 30- 40 years.
Not all twin batteries Toyota are 24 volts. Back then in 1980's Toyota offered the so called "COLD SPEC" version on those vehicles destined to countries with cold weather. Many Toyotas that went to Russia and China back then were COLD SPEC. I have one of those vehicles.
That makes perfect sense I have a few Nissan patrols or safaris from Japan they are 24 V but it's easy enough to be 12 with 2 batteries I just never looked close enough out how the cables were run to a determined.
I am guessing your Toyota vehicle is probably not quite as new looking as this one is it's amazing hey?
I hope you enjoyed the video stay tuned for further nonsense and entertainment my friend and thanks for leaving your comment.
Do you have any videos posted of your old Toyota diesel vehicle?
I think the reason behind the 24 volts electric systems is Japanese cars is because tax. As far as I know ,Japan tax system establishes that you must pay car taxes based on many criteria at the same time. Vehicle purchase price , vehicle dimensions , engine displacement , engine cylinder number and some other aspects are considered in order so set your tax payment. I notice only "big" displacement engine installed in "big" cars like Nissan Maxima/bluebird ; Land Cruiser 60 and 70 series are 24 volts. I guess they do that in order to be classified in a better tax ranking.i know Industrial and agricultural vehicles in Japan are all 24 volts and pay a lot less tax than a regular passenger car like, let's say, a medium size sedan like U.S Camry.
So far, the only difference between my 1984 Toyota Cressida"COLD SPEC" and the regular model is the starter which is a 2.5 kw capacity while regular starter is only 2.0 kw. I also noticed there's no insulation between muffler tubing and passenger cabin. I suppose is a way to make the heat that the muffler irradiated goes directly to inside passenger compartment in order to keep occupant warm. Rudimentary if you ask me .
Contrary to what you would expect from a "COLD SPEC" toyota, this car have not heater! Yes, that right: your only heat source to the passenger cabin is the heat irradiated by the non insulated muffler.
Want to clarify that my "COLD SPEC" has 2 batteries but is 12 volts. The batteries are connected in parallel circuit, hence the big amperage that goes to the higher capacity 2.5 kw starter.
@@enterBJ40 very interesting. Absolutely crazy not having a heater though hey??
Just goes to show that engineers can never be accused of thinking about it..
After all the great ideas they decide a heater isn't necessary? It probably had something to do with ordering different specs for different applications. " oh-! You wanted a windshield too??" Type of thing.
"It probably had something to do with ordering different specs for different applications"...I truly believe you spot on this, Ryan. This car was purchased in the Caribbean, hence that could explain why it doesn't have heater. I used to heard from people, back then in the early 80's, that Diesel vehicles required tons of battery power to work, which doesn't make sense. I think is this misconception that lead to certaun clients to request for a twin batteries Toyota diesel ,assuming that a single battery would be enough to power up the vehicle. Perhaps one ot those clients was the original owner of my car. My hypothesis could explain why I have a twin batteries 12 volts "COLD SPEC" (with no heater) Toyota Diesel, originally marketed for China and Russia, in the Caribbean .
No much different from those Toyota Land Cruiser series 100 with stock triple locker and 12,000 pounds winch that never see action by original owner.
Uh did i end up in 1986
Crazy hey?
A one of a kind back then - a rare jewelry kow for sure - at any cost. & you're right about that. It was upwards of your guess.
it's for sale friend
Is it for sale? I suppose everything is, but my friend said he plans to keep it. I'm sure he would not consider selling it for less than 35 or 40 thousand Canadian dollars.
In my opinion it's likely the most pristine example of that model in the world. I was amazed.
Are you buying this?
No. We bought a little excavator from him. I probably would consider it if he wanted to sell, but he recently purchased it, and it wasn't cheap.
