Six trim configurations are listed for the 1987 Toyota 4Runner, and the codes carried in the list below are what separate them — 22-RE against 22-RTE, G52 against R151F. The engine listed for the year is the 2.4L four-cylinder, recorded under the codes 22R-EC and 22R-EC/22R-TEC. Working out which of the six a given truck matches is what makes the rest of the numbers mean anything.
