4RUNNER- HEAVIER,SHORTWHEELBASE, BUT SAME WHEELBASE AS STANDARD CAB. lOTS MORE ROOM, REMOVEABLETOP. PICKUP--- HAS-BED,MORE VISUAL SIGHT, CAN GO LONGBED OR EXTCAB FOR LONGER WHEELBASE. I would go efi for sure even if you have to do a sas as for truck I had a 89 4runner and absolutly loved it and I have had several trucks. It really depends on your needs 4runner can legaly seat5. My personal favorates are firstgen 4runner and 85-88 extcab short bed. but remember if you go carb you will regret it later. but there is always propane. or efi swap=pita
