At first I regretted getting the 3.0 over the famous 22re but I have to say I've really gotten to love it. And the "three point slow" joke never gets old.
@@donsale6301 if anyone has a 3.0 v6 Toyota engine, remove the rear crossover pipe for the exhaust. this causes extra heat on the rear valve/head cover gaskets. I had a 1995 Toyota 4runner SR5 5 speed with the 3.0, had that problem and then removed the crossover pipe i mentioned, problem solved.
Nice video of comparisons! I have a 1985 Toyota 4runner SR5 5 speed with the 22re and sits on 35's with 5:29 gearing, gets 22mpg using pure gasoline not E10.
So...the 22R/E rear differential was not stronger than the turbo/V6 differential. The 22R-E differential was a 2 pinion carrier and the turbo/V6 was a 4 pinion with a bigger pinion bearing. Both use an 8 " ring gear and are interchangeable, that's why you see the turbo/V6 differential swapped out in the 22R/E trucks. You can tell on the outside, 22R/E differential having 3 horizontal gussets and the turbo/V6 differential having 4.
Great breakdown brother. I'm in N. Idaho so possibly not too far away from you. I've had my 1986 EFI SR5 4Runner for many years now and it is still one of my favorite trucks to drive around and will, hopefully, be one of the last vehicles I will ever sell. It spends most of it's time locked up in a garage to preserver it as much as possibly but I appreciate the comparison. Especially the V6 vs. 4 cyl. Mine is a standard manual transmission but I do also have a 1995 Land Cruiser that it an automatic which I love for daily driving. Both have over 250K miles so it's only a matter of time before time catches up with them. The Land Cruiser only ever gets from 10 to 12 MPG because it is full time 4WD but it is literally built like a tank from the factory so it has it's pro's and cons in that respect. Again, great breakdown my man. Maybe I'll do one in the future.
Thanks for your time and watching the video! Definitely my favorite vintage truck so far. You got a sweet stable with the 80 series as well. I love land cruisers as well and have a 2001 100 series which I love, but you're right, the MPG is the only downside with current gas prices. Thanks again! Cheers 😊🙏
The v6 unfortunately, eventually will have back side coolant hose failure. It’s a pain in the arse. I know. Happened with my 94. My 86, 22re won’t have that issue. Of course, being a vintage 4runner guy, I dropped the 2000$ to fix the 94 plus valve cover seals while was in that area. Keep them both, I’ve got 3
That 89 is a crossover year. Probably the reason for the quieter cabin. They added more noise Insulation in the fifth generation Toyota pickup although the 4runner kept the classic body style up until I think 91
I am from n. Idaho I drive 86 yota 4*420r 31 bfg ko2 24 mph I 💕 my yota I love going on top of the mountain smoke a joint and blow it in the air intake shes a stoner through and through.
All I can say is anyone who had a v6, there is a catalytic converter on 1 Bank behind the motor seriously kills power and fuel economy. 500 tho and still does 140 with 33s in the Canadian mountains np

100% agree on this. Love my v6!
Love the V6 despite whatever negativity that is thrown at it. It takes me from point A to B.

Nice!! Thanks for watching!😊
That’s some insane mileage for 35’s.
@@LETerEATRenne Indeed and it has 288k miles on it too!

Totally agree! They're getting harder and harder to find
it cost 2k for a coolant hose??!!
Gorgeous!!! Lucky guy.

My favorite comment so far! Enjoy man! ❤️
My 1G 3.0 super slow V6 is still enjoyable though I have to help push it to get up to speed when merging on the highway.
As far as performance, the v6 is much better than the 22RE
Titled the video "Compare 22re to v6" but never once showed the 22re or v6 engines 🤦🤦
I have a 85 4 runner with a 20r 5 speed 4x4 .. i get 27 mpg on 33'bfgs
All I can say is anyone who had a v6, there is a catalytic converter on 1 Bank behind the motor seriously kills power and fuel economy. 500 tho and still does 140 with 33s in the Canadian mountains np
I have 4runner envy
Enjoyed your video. Two awesome looking trucks. Question: How does the rear window in the tail gate go down in the 86? Is it manual also or…?
Thanks for watching the video. The tailgate window on both is powered and not manual
Thanks for the swift reply. Looking to potentially buy a 1st gen 4Runner so your video definitely gave me a lot of insight and inspiration.
@@cristolui718 glad to hear that and good luck with your 4Runner shopping
My v 6 may be a slow peice of shit but it stays ticking
I prefer the v6 myself 👌🏾
The 1989 Toyota four runner v6 is my favorite year
Same!!!!
