4Runner marketing ads
I find it odd that Toyota does not have as many print ads for the 4Runner as its competition. Then again, it needs no advertising as it seems to sell itself. I have this disturbing hobby that is collecting old rare 4Runner ads. Thought I'd share. If you find some others, please post them for everyone else to see. Mods, I apologize, feel free to move the thread if need be.

This deer ad is my favorite:











Here's an interesting one - reflectors for the 06+ models in Japan:

Camry but there's a 4Runner in the background

Not a 4Runner but quite funny!


Another AWESOME Aussi Hilux add. Why don't they run these ads here?

Hah! I do the same thing with old Datsun 510 ads! I'm weird like that.

Great finds!

EDIT: Found another one

Good stuff guys - I think this would be good to have in the "classic" sub-forum so I'm gonna move it there and make it a sticky.

Check out this cool 2nd gen ad I just found today (yes, I have a problem and need therapy)

Edit: I know the composition of this ad is for an extreme visual selling point, but logic has to ask why the hell would you go biking on a cliff let alone park your runner right on one?!?
