Introduced in November 1986, the third generation Kijang was offered in short wheelbase (F40 series) and long wheelbase (F50 series) versions.
The Kijang was redesigned to be larger and heavier, and no longer prioritized as a pickup truck-based model.
The Standard trim level had a 4-speed manual transmission, while the Super variant had a 5-speed manual transmission and a better equipped interior.
Introduced in this generation was "Full Pressed Body" wagon built by companies appointed by Toyota.
This technique were applied to reduce usage of putties up to 2–5 kg (4–11 lb) for each car.

The Kijang received its first facelift in August 1992.The steering mechanism was changed from recirculating ball to rack and pinion.
 The wagon model received a right-side rear door and adopted a new name, "Toyota Original Body", instead of "Full Pressed Body".
In its creation process, it was fully pressed and used pointed welding.
Up to this time, this model can be said as the one and only putty-free Kijang.
The trim levels for the wagon model were:
Standard (SX and LX; KF42 and KF52): a base model Kijang with 4-speed manual transmission, standard dashboard and no power features.

Deluxe (SSX and LSX; KF42 and KF52): an upgraded version of the base Kijang with refined dashboard, better quality interior materials, steel rims with center caps, single air conditioning, basic audio system with radio receiver, with alloy wheel was available as an option.

Front Reclining seats and folding middle seats are standard on all trims while super variants include head rests, Console Box and footsteps as standard equipment.

Kijang Jantan is the higher-end trim variant to the kijang Rover that was first introduced in executive trim which added wood trim, power windows to all four seats, front and rear air conditioning, 4 speaker audio system and central locking and alloy wheels.

The 4x2 adds a larger rear door that covers the full width of the vehicle and a door mounted spare wheel, however it does not have rear air conditioning.
