4Runner marketing ads

[dingo]

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:

First off great collection guys , very entertaining.

 

[GatorGreg]

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.

I actually found another 3rd gen ad! :biggrin2:

 

[dingo]

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?!?

Found some media from past print brochures and a Canadian ski patrol ad:

Dingo! I want those 2nd gen ads!!

Funny what people will sell these days. I was looking for a tonneau cover and actually saw this on ebay:

A foreign 2nd gen ad. Looks like French but don't hold me to it.
