This Toyota Pickup is my first car. It previously was my dad's. He used it to haul dirt around our yard and drove it to work. It sat in my driveway for about 5 years uncovered and we figured by now it would be junk, because he did not take good care of it. I was surprised when there were not that many things that needed replaced.

This truck is awesome off-road! I have yet to get it stuck in really deep mud and its all stock!

I believe this truck will last me along time, at least until 350k. It is very inexpensive to maintain, as long as you take care of it.

Well all that I can pretty much think of with my truck, is that I've started to experience a smell from my exhaust. The buddies and I checked it out turns to be the catalytic converter, minor when you think about it.

Other problems would have to be how I go through a lot of gas because it's a fast truck and I like to drive faster.

One more is how fast I go through tires, ha-ha damn is it a fun little truck.

Minor rust, but I fixed that right away.

To start off, this truck is absolutely amazing. It has power and style. I've done so many upgrades including a 2 1/2 inch drop on the front and a 3 inch on the back. Custom roll pan, tailgate and exhaust, grille and head/tail lights.

This thing is my baby and I tell ya if I had to buy something else I would without a thought, buy another Toyota.

Faults:

The right side window track broke at 15,000 miles.

My timing chain needed replaced at 89,000 miles.

Small rust bubble on the tail gate.

General Comments:

This truck is reliability incarnate.

The truck has 124,000 miles on it the hard way. My average trip is 1.5 miles. I have made very few long distance trips in this truck, so I figure that it has been started around 80,000 times. That means 80,000 cycles on the driver side door. 80,000 cycles on the key switch. 80,000 compressions of the seat, and on and on. It still has the original clutch and muffler.

I have done every bad thing to this truck that I can think of. It has been airborne more times than I can remember. It was submerged briefly once while driving too quickly into bumper deep water. I have loaded the bed completely full of wood many times, and it has been used to tow cars and to drag fallen trees out of yards after wind storms. After all this abuse it has very few squeaks and rattles.

For the first seven years I had no garage, so the truck sat outside (usually unwashed) through seven blazing summers and icy, salty Indiana winters and it still looks great.

I can't imagine an automobile that I would rather own at any price.

I have had no big problems with this great truck. Just oil change, brakes, tires and other little things that need to be replaced.

General Comments:

This truck is the best vehicle that money can buy. You could run this truck off a cliff and it would still run and look good. It has 188,052 miles on the original engine and transmition it just keeps going and going. It is 10 years old and the body of the truck still looks brand new, you would never know it was a 1992. I love this truck and I would never trade it in, for anything.

Faults:

Starter went out at 75000 miles.

The clutch went out at 120000 but I towed a fairly heavy boat for two years.

Replaced shocks, muffler, and thermostat at 140000. But this was just preventative maintenance.

Regular tunes ups and check ups keep this truck running forever.

General Comments:

Small inside, but great for light driving and hauling.

Faults:

Not one thing... knock on wood. Only routine maintenance.

General Comments:

Talk about a well built machine. I'm keeping it till the wheels fall off. She's almost 10 now and still runs and looks great. I didn't replace the original brakes until around the 96,000 mile mark. Original tires lasted for 80k. New plugs only once. That's it. Toyota builds a great vehicle.
