I'm starting to think about buying a newer truck. The one I've got is an
'85 SR5 Extra Cab with a 22RE engine. I really like the 22RE and am
hoping to find a low mileage later model with the 22RE engine and I'd like
to get the newest model available.
What is the latest model year to come out with the 22RE?
How does the 22RE stack up against the 6 cylinder engine? For power and
gas mileage.
TIA
Jerry

1995 was the last year of the 22RE.
It was the first year of the Tacoma truck.
After that it shipped with the newer engine.

The 22RE is NOT a powerhouse engine, although the earlier, smaller V-6 was
no better.

What the 22RE does offer is a 5 main bearing engine that is virtually
indestructible, very good mileage too. I had a 87 4-runner that could push
30 MPG at high altitude, maybe 27 at sea level.
