What you're looking at
An '86 Toyota Pickup — the truck that turned Hilux durability into a North American cult — running a turbocharged version of the legendary 22RE 2.4-liter four. Hodson's own pitch is that the 22RE is beloved but underpowered, so they "threw a turbo on it," and the result is a compact, old-school mini-truck that keeps the engine's take-a-beating reputation while finally having enough boost to merge without a prayer. Whoever wins also pockets $10,000 in cash alongside the keys.
One caveat, stated plainly: Hodson hasn't published the odometer, the transmission, whether it's 2WD or 4x4, or the paint and interior colors — so for now the photo gallery is your spec sheet.
Why it matters
The 22R/22R-TE Toyota trucks have quietly become some of the most collectible pickups of the 1980s: light, almost comically reliable, and increasingly hard to find unmolested. Recent sales bear that out — a turbo 4x4 with roughly 280,000 miles still brought $24,150 on Bring a Trailer in January 2025, while genuinely clean, low-mileage turbo 4x4s are being advertised north of $40,000. This one appears to be a builder-turbocharged 22RE rather than a documented factory SR5 Turbo, so value it as a period-cool driver, not a numbers-matching collectible.
The fine print worth knowing
Entries work on Hodson's usual model: every $5 you spend in the store equals one entry, and shipping doesn't count. The no-purchase route is a handwritten 4x6 postcard mailed to the address in the official rules, limited to one per household per day — the full, verbatim instructions are in the free-entry section below. The entry window closes July 31, 2026, and the winner is drawn August 14 via Random.org and announced live on Hodson's Instagram. Two money notes: a roughly $25,000 prize is taxable, and while the bundled $10,000 helps, budget for the bill; and if the truck isn't your thing, there's a flat $25,000 cash alternative. Eligibility covers the 50 U.S. states and Canada, 18 or older, with a valid driver's license.

Why It's Special
1986 falls at the start of Toyota's factory-turbo era for the compact pickup (the fuel-injected 22R-TE), and clean turbo mini-trucks have become genuine collector items as the 22R's bulletproof reputation fuels a nostalgia surge. Hodson describes this example as a 22RE with a turbo added rather than a documented factory SR5 Turbo, so its appeal is as a period-cool driver build.
Our value estimate
$25,000
Anchored to Hodson Motors' own declared value in the Official Rules: a total prize of $35,000, itemized as $25,000 for the 1986 Toyota Turbo Pickup plus $10,000 cash, with a flat $25,000 all-cash alternative. The figure here, $25,000, is the truck on its own (the $10,000 is listed under extras). Recent comparables support it: a turbocharged 1986 Toyota Pickup 4x4 with about 280,000 miles sold on Bring a Trailer for $24,150 in January 2025, and Hagerty and Cars & Bids show these 22R-series turbo mini-trucks trending up through 2025; at the other end, a low-mileage (roughly 69,000-mile) turbo 4x4 has been advertised around $41,500. The prize truck's odometer, drivetrain (2WD vs 4x4) and condition are not published, and each would move this number materially — a tidy low-mile 4x4 could beat $35k while a high-mile driver sits closer to $20,000–24,000 — so with the mileage unstated the estimate stays at the operator's $25,000. Fewer than three in-band sold comps were publicly available, so asking prices and valuation-guide ranges were used to bracket.
Editorial estimate based on recent comparable sales — not an appraisal.
