Re: what year did the 84 wagon 4wd look come out?
Our 4wd tercel wagon style ran from 83 to 87, with various small changes along the way.
There are differences between models though, SR5, Deluxe, etc.

i have an '88 sr5 (mfg date jan '88.) a former girlfriend worked in sales at a toyota dealership in the late '80s and told me at the time toyota had enough spares to continue building cars and figured wtf- we sell all we build so why not?
if it aint there, there's a good chance it won't break!
83 SR5 Silver/Blue (Snowmobile/work beater)-totaled but drivable
85 SR5 Blue

Re: what year did the 84 wagon 4wd look come out?
There are actually a few rare '88 model year Tercel4wd around, but the rumor is they were just using up parts from the last assembly line run of 1987. They were clearly phasing out the Tercel4wd by '87, the FWD versions were totally different cars (transverse engine, even uglier body style different from earlier version, etc.). By 1988 all of the models were switched over to EFI because of smog regulations (except the last of the Tercel4wd wagons).
So as a practical matter no new Tercel4wd were made since 1987. As Neu noted the run is '83-87 (or '88). Across the years there was minor changes in trim details, upholstery, and some mechanical specs (mostly emission control system). The '87-88 models went to the composite headlights similar to the all the European models, this changed the look of the grill quite a lot. All of the line from '83-86 look externally almost the same, they introduced some different colors each year, and the seat fabric patterns changed in '85, and again in '86, and '88. Almost all of the mechanical parts are interchangeable across the years.
