This 81 Toyota Trekker has been up for sale seems like ever since it was sold at the Mecum auction. And the price changes each time, I’ve seen $22.500, $30,000, $15,000 and now $18,500. The last time it was on Ebay the bidding ended just before $10,000 so given that fact it doesn’t seem to be worth the asking price(s). That may be why it’s been up for sale so often. It may very well be the best surviving example of a Trekker left in existence. Still, it’s not totally original as the listing states. The drive train appears to be modified- check out the shifter area. It seems the original L52 trans was replaced with a later model possibly a W52 or G52. That means the frame was modified and the driveshafts changed or modified. Also the engine now has a Weber carb.
At least this seller is honest about the truck with the things that don’t work and the actual miles exceeding 200,000. I thought is was rather fraudulent for Mecum to have run the truck through as driven barely more than 18,000 miles which may explain why it brought $22,500 then.
So take a look at the older posts on this truck, click the link to see the old Mecum auction, or click the Ebay link to see more info on this Toyota Trekker.
