From 1982 until 1997, the company produced the 2.4-liter Toyota 22RE injection engine, which was fitted to passenger models like the Corona as well as SUVs and pickups like the Hilux and 4Runner. This motor underwent a significant update in 1985, and many aspects of the two versions of the device are incompatible.
The 22R and 22R-TE engines are also part of the R family.
The engine was mounted on:
- Toyota 4Runner 1 (N60) in 1984 – 1989; 4Runner 2 (N120) in 1989 – 1995;
- Toyota Celica 3 (A60) in 1982 – 1985;
- Toyota Corona 7 (T140) in 1982 – 1987;
- Toyota Hilux 4 (N50) in 1983 – 1988; Hilux 5 (N80) in 1988 – 1997;
- Volkswagen Taro 1 (7A) in 1989 – 1997.

Disadvantages of the Toyota 22R-E engine
Fuel consumption rises sharply when the vane-type mass fuel flow sensor malfunctions;
The old ignition system, particularly the distributor, is the source of many issues;
It is a very dependable engine with a huge resource of up to half a million kilometers; every 100,000 kilometers, valve adjustment is necessary because there are no hydraulic lifters here. Even before 150,000 kilometers, the timing chain can stretch and begin to make a lot of noise.
