How we got this number

Toyota does not publish per-engine breakdowns for the 4th-gen (1984–88) US Pickup. Total 1988 US Toyota Pickup sales were in the 250–300k range; the V6 was a brand-new mid-cycle option offered alongside the dominant 22R-E four. A 15–25% V6 take rate yields the 40k–80k band; midpoint used.
