Like blatant mentioned, it can take some looking to find the right truck, but they are out there.
When I got my truck, it was surprising more difficult to find what I wanted than I would have throught. I wanted a third gen XtraCab 4WD and a 22R-E. I personally wanted a third gen because the XtraCab is truly bigger. The 84-88 XtraCab is really just enough that you can recline your seat a little, it's not a ton more space. But even by 1989+ Toyota was starting to offer more comfortable trucks and just about every truck I looked at had the V6. I got mine in 2000 and by then the 3VZ head gasket recall was totally known, so I was scared away from the V6 for reliability reasons. Plus the aftermarket for the 22R is HUGE. But finding a truck like mine took some looking and I had to buy one without A/C to get it.
So I guess it's all relative.
