| Toyota Allion Second generation (19901995)Second generation Production 19901995 Body style 4door SUV 2door SUV Engine 2.0 L 3Y I4 2.4 L 22RE I4 3.0 L 3VZE V6 2.4 L 2LTE turbodiesel I4 2.8 L 3L diesel I4 3.0 L 1KZTE turbodiesel I4 Wheelbase 103.3 in. 2door Toyota 4Runner The 1989 model year 4Runner represented a fundamental departure from the firstgeneration model. |
| Toyota Alphard Instead of an enhanced pickup truck the new 4Runners featured a freshly designed body mounted on an existing frame. Toyota Allion. The difference is easily seen when comparing pickups and 4Runners of similar vintage: a 1984 4Runner looks remarkably similar to a 1984 Toyota pickup whereas a 1990 4Runner shares only subtle styling details with the 1990 pickup. |
| Toyota Aurion Nearly all second generation 4Runners were 4door models however from 1989 to 1992 a 2door model was also produced. These models are similar to the 4door models of the time in that the bodies were formed as a single unit instead of the fiberglass tops used in the firstgeneration 4Runners. Toyota Alphard. Twodoor 4Runners from this era are extremely rare and were discontinued in August 1992 probably due to higher importation duties and owner insurance costs. |
| Toyota Auris Because the drivelines were still developed from the same source however available engines were identical. A new 2.4 L four cylinder and the same 3.0 L V6 were both available in rear wheel drive and four wheel drive layouts. Toyota Aurion. The new 4Runner used the independent front suspension that had been developed on the previous generation. |
| Toyota Avalon The older style gear driven transfer case was phased out and both engines now had chain driven cases probably to cut down cab noise and vibration. Toyota Allion. The Hilux Surf version for the Japanese market was also available with a range of diesel engines including a 2.4 L turbodiesel 2LTE I4 up to 1993 followed by a 3.0 L turbodiesel 1KZTE I4. |
| Toyota Aygo A small number were also made with a normally aspirated 2.8 L diesel 3L I4. A small number were also produced with a 2.0 L 3Y I4 naturallyaspirated gasoline engine. Toyota Allion. Most other fullbody SUVs produced at the time (e.g. |
| Toyota Caldina Nissan Pathfinder Ford Explorer) featured tailgates that opened upward with the glass closed. Toyota Allion. In contrast the second generation 4Runner carried over the retractableglass tailgate from the first generation. |
| Toyota Century Opening these tailgates requires first retracting the rear window into the tailgate and then lowering the tailgate much like as on a pickup truck. In 1992 the 4Runner received minor cosmetic updates including modular headlamps instead of the increasingly outdated rectangular sealed beams. Toyota Allion. Additional cosmetic changes occurred between 1993 and 1995 the last year of the second generation. |
| Toyota Coaster Third generation (19962002)Third generation Production 19962002 Body style 4door SUV Engine 2.7 L 3RZFE I4 3.4 L 5VZFE V6 3.0 L 1KZTE turbodiesel I4 Wheelbase 105.3 in. 1996 marked another significant redesign of the thenaging 4Runner. Whereas the transition to the second generation 4Runner was one that kept the build quality and options roughly on par with the rest of the midsize SUV market the changes made in the third generation turned the 4Runner into a more luxuryoriented vehicle. Toyota Allion. This move paralleled the upgrades to the 1996 Nissan Pathfinder but moved the 4Runner into a distinctly different class than its older competitors the Ford Explorer Chevrolet Blazer and Isuzu Rodeo. |
| Toyota Crown, Toyota Dyna The third generation 4Runner did however look very similar to the second generation. Toyota Allion. This similarity largely ended with its looks. Toyota Aurion. It carried over the basic design and concept but executed it differently with an allnew bodyshell on an allnew chassis. Toyota Auris. This time it shared virtually nothing with the pickup it had originally evolved from and had more in common with the Land Cruiser as it shared its chassis with that of the Land Cruiser Prado. Toyota Allion. The third generation 4runner also featured new engines a 2.7L 3RZFE I4 replacing the previous 2.4L 22RE I4 and a 3.4L 5VZFE V6 replacing the previous 3.0L 3VZE V6. |
