Faults:

I have had to replace the clutch, starter, radiator, and water pump twice. It has been a wonderfully running vehicle, but the body is rusting out. Seat is wearing badly. Carburetor is now giving me problems.

It is still running like a charm.

General Comments:

The pick up has been so reliable that I have recommended Toyota pickups to a lot of my friends.

The body will rust totally out and fall apart and the motor will keep on down the road.

Faults:

I had to replace the differential oil pinion gasket (not hard when done right).

I replaced the spark plug wires in an effort to try to get better gas mileage at my mechanic's suggestion.

It had the rusted bed that all Toyota pickups had in the late 80s.

The outside air diverter gate fell off inside the air duct system, but I was able to put it back on with a screw and it worked from then on (Hint: only take off the fan from the bottom with the 3 screws).

This truck was ultra-reliable!

General Comments:

This was an awesome truck--the best vehicle I've ever owned. It was completely reliable even at 210,000 miles!

It was fun to drive! I even could load my 300lb motorcycle in the back (even with the short bed). It slowed down a little on hills because all it had was a 2.2 liter engine, but that was just because I wasn't pushing it too hard.

I have no complaints about this truck and my only regret is that I sold it. I have seen these trucks with over 300k miles on the odometer and I believe it!

It was really easy to maintain--it required a relatively few simple tools to fix most things.

The Toyota dealership treated me well with no deference to the fact that my truck was 16 years old.

I would not hesitate to buy one of these trucks, I only wish they got better gas mileage. The only reason I sold it was because I was given a 1994 Dodge Ram and the Toyota wouldn't be quite as safe in a wreck.

Faults:

Replaced rear axle at 90,000 miles.

Replaced clutch and carburetor at 125,000 miles.

Replaced rear brakes at 135,000 miles.

Window mechanisms are worn so I don't go through fast-food drive-through lanes.

General Comments:

Gets me to work and back during the week, and hauls loads on the weekends.

Gets about 25 mpg combined city/highway.

Faults:

The air conditioner leaks, but not a lot.

General Comments:

The truck is very reliable.

The interior is very comfortable, even though I got the stock package.

I wish it had power steering.

Faults:

Water pump went out a couple years ago......

Replaced the starter coil....

Horn quit working....

Other than that it's just been oil, plugs and tires.....

General Comments:

Second Toyota I've owned.... had a Corolla that had about 200,000 on it when I sold it.....

Faults:

The brakes started to lock up but that was after 90,000 miles.

General Comments:

The truck was great I got it when it had 87,000 miles on it. It was stolen when it had 110,000. When it was stolen everything on it worked perfect. During the time I had it, it worked almost flawlessly. I liked it so much I replaced it with a 96 Toyota truck!
