This 1981 Toyota Winnebago Trekker 4×4 is a 118k-mile example offered by the original owner and is one of approximately 1,500 examples believed to have been produced in the early 1980s. Designed and built by Winnebago with Toyota’s approval and utilizing their short box truck chassis, the Trekker served as a marketing test vehicle for Toyota’s 4Runner. Said to have been garage kept throughout its life, the truck is sold with extensive records documenting regular maintenance since new. Offered with no reserve, the truck is represented by the seller on behalf of the owner and is sold with a CarFax report and Colorado title in the original owner’s name. Purchased new by the owners from Stevenson Toyota in Lakewood, Colorado in October 1981, the truck shows several typical scratches and dings documented in the gallery below. Factory decals exhibit some peeling. The driver’s door was professionally repaired in 1992 following a parking lot incident in which the driver’s side rear wheel well was repainted at the same time. Tires show good tread and have a 2008 date code. Regardless of the actual VIN denotation, all of the Trekkers were classified as SR5 spec by both Winnebago and Toyota, resulting in features such as a 5-speed manual transmission, A/C, tilt steering, and additional gauge pod. Front seats show breaches in the upholstery and the driver’s seat cushion has begun to sag. Apart from the inoperable aftermarket cruise control and the intermittent operation of the parking brake light, all controls and electrics remain in working order, including the A/C. Rear cargo area consists of a molded fiberglass canopy with vented side windows, fold down rear seats and a single rear overhead hatch. A few cracks on the inside of the fiberglass hatch are noted by the seller and its operation could benefit from some sorting. A set of privacy curtains made by the seller are included in the sale. Powered is provided by a carbureted version of Toyota’s 22R 2.4L 4-cylinder with power sent through the Toyota L52 5-speed gearbox. A high-altitude jet has been fitted by the owner, though the factory piece is included in the sale. Noted issues include a few minor oil leaks and some play in the steering. Manual-engagement 4WD remains fully operational and the 5-speed transmission is said to shift easily. Records are extensive and include handwritten notation of services by the owner among the numerous paperwork. Several photographs of the truck’s undercarriage can be viewed in the detailed gallery below. Included with the sale are service records and receipts from new, books, and literature. The Carfax report verifies the truck’s one owner status and notes an odometer rollover that is confirmed through the service records.
