Toyota 22re pickup late 80's, and some early 90's if you can find one.

yeah, tacos and toyota trucks in general hold their value really well, but thats a testament to their quality. minus the rust issues.

I can not think of much that is a 4 seater, 4 cylinder, cheap, pickup, and reliable?

Sounds like you are searching for a Civic

old rangers fit the bill, or if you feel better about it, a mazda B series will also fit the bill.

nissan frontier, nissan hardbody, sonoma, S-10, 2013 ecoboost F-150(v6 though).... what do you want from this thread? really.

If it does not have to be a pickup maybe a 1st gen 4runner. Decent size back area, rear seats are fold able, and you can get it with a 22re in it.

BUT Do Not Touch One With A 3.0L V6.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 cylinders + 4 seats (2 jump seats).. you are limited to Ranger. I think in general more seatings means V6 in general.

Toyota pickups are quite solid but insurance is insane.

88+ Nissan p/u ext cab w/ 2.4L, 93+ Mazda B2200/2600

And edit your OP to include a price and what you need it for. Next thing, you're going to want an automatic and 4x4, by the way it's going.

Our family had a super minty 1990 Toyota pickup, 2wd with the 22re. Took the four of us on multiple camping trips every year for my entire childhood. If you can find one, I'd seriously consider it. Just be careful as they often succumb to huge amounts of rust.

Honestly an older Ford Ranger is probably the best bet to fill all your requirements. I thought the Mazda B2200 came in a 4 seat config, though?

89-93 2wd (low) 5spd cummins will get better mileage than 4cyl pickups and you can fix it with a shovel. There's actually one on craigslist with 950,000kms for $2000.
