While the inherent value of a clean Toyota pickup is well established around these parts, it is impressive to see how many of them continue to attract strong money even in a somewhat soft market. The demand for Toyotas of 1990s vintage will not likely subside any time soon, especially since they appeal on both a practical and enthusiast level: you can use a truck like this survivor-grade 1994 Toyota Pickup SR5 4X4 listed here on eBay as a daily or as a Sunday-only driver suited for grabbing coffee and a solitary bag of mulch from the hardware store. Either way, the value isn’t likely to change much, other than continue going up in the future.

Bidding sits at $7,800 with the reserve unmet. I suspect this truck will end up somewhere in the mid- to high-teens, based on the level of equipment and condition. Supposedly sold new in Washington State and apparently never spent much time out of the area, according to the listing, and it shows: if you found a Toyota of this vintage in the Northeast that had been driven to any reasonable extent, you’d see surface rust covering the entirety of the chassis if not punching holes through it. This Toyota shows clean paint, an unmarked bed with a factory bed liner, and a spotless undercarriage.

The interior is even better, with the factory bucket seats showing very little in the form of visible wear and tear. The carpets are also beautiful, and you have to wonder how the long-term owner could have been so careful for so long. At some point, we all spill a cup of coffee, but not this guy, apparently. The factory 5-speed manual is a treat and a rare find combined with the V6; usually, it seems like the manual gearboxes are reserved for the underpowered and tinny 4-cylinder engines. The dash shows no cracks and really, there’s very little to fault inside. The PNW climate and likely long-term garage storage means this Toyota suffers from little in the way of sun damage.

The 3VZ-E engine produces around 150 horsepower with 180 lb.-ft. of torque at your disposal. It’s not monstrous power by any means, but it’s more than suitable for hauling a truck around of this size. Keep in mind, pickups used to be fairly compact with reasonable curb weights, so the engineers at Toyota likely felt under 200 b.h.p. was a reasonable balance for fuel economy and performance. The selling dealer lists off a variety of recent servicing at the hands of the previous owner, including spark plugs, a differential fluid flush, new tires, and replacement brakes. As an added bonus, with just over 100,000 miles, you’ve got years of reliable use left in the future. Would you use it as a fair weather daily or lock it away?
