Toyota Trekker: The Retro Pickup/SUV Hybrid Everyone Forgot About
The 1980s were a fascinating era for automobiles, and among the many unique vehicles that emerged during this time was the Toyota Trekker. This particular model stands out for its distinct blend of off-road capability and practicality, making it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts alike. Although relatively obscure compared to some of its contemporaries, the Trekker holds a special place in automotive history.
Only around 1,000 to 1,500 units of the Toyota Trekker were manufactured between 1981 and 1983. Given its limited production run, finding one in mint condition today is akin to striking gold. Unfortunately, many of these vehicles have succumbed to the wear and tear of time, ending up in junkyards alongside other classic rides over three decades old. For those lucky enough to encounter a pristine Trekker, owning one is akin to possessing a piece of automotive heritage.
What sets the Trekker apart from other vehicles of its era is its versatility. Designed as both a compact pickup truck and an SUV with an RV-style interior, it catered to individuals seeking adventure without sacrificing comfort. Available in both 4x4 and 4x2 configurations, the Trekker proved particularly adept at handling rugged terrains while providing ample space for camping gear. Additionally, Winnebago introduced a conversion kit allowing owners to customize their Trekkers further, offering components like bed sides, fiberglass tubs, canopies, and convertible rear seats.
The story behind the Trekker's creation begins in 1979 when Toyota discontinued the Land Cruiser FJ40. Jack Safro, a Toyota dealership owner based in Brookfield, Wisconsin, felt inspired by this model and envisioned creating something similar yet distinctively different. His vision caught fire when presented to Winnebago, leading to successful negotiations that involved Toyota later joining forces with Winnebago. Together, they launched production of the Trekker in 1981.
During its prime in the early '80s, Colorado became a hotspot for spotting Trekkers, thanks largely to their reputation as dependable vehicles capable of enduring harsh climates while excelling on off-road trails. By 1983, however, both Winnebago and Toyota decided to cease Trekker production due to Toyota focusing instead on developing the iconic 4Runner—a model widely regarded as heavily influenced by the Trekker.
Even though nearly three and a half decades have passed since the last Trekker rolled off assembly lines, interest in restoring and modifying these rare gems persists among dedicated fans. Their scarcity combined with unique features ensures that the Trekker remains relevant within certain circles of automotive culture.
