First Toyota 4X4

[pregrid]

Early in 1979 Toyota introduced their first 4X4 pickup. One was sent to each dealer, 1089 at that time. They were "Limited Edition" models, all with, among other things, a serialized dash plaque. I have, and have been driving since new, #237 of 1089 made. Have not seen but one other since then. Have been searching for YEARS for another. Anyone here have any information? Dave

I believe it would be the Trekker, these are 2 Trekker based discussion sites which show that there were around 1200-1300 made:

well here in Canada anyway ... the Trekker was not out till , /82 ... in /81 they had a "trailblazer" ... and thats it .

/79 was the introduction of toy pickup 4x4's in North America . 81 was the first I know of with the silver painted edition (the name eludes me at the moment ) with # plates ... then in 82-83 came the majove edition with # plates ... I wouled be VERY surprised to learn of a new modle , being I was there ... at the dealer leval , when this all took place .
