These are the facts as we read them from Hodson Motors's official rules, in our own words. Always confirm the exact address, wording, and deadline against the operator's official rules before mailing.
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.
