1988 Toyota Pickup EFI - Shortbed review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Little things that one would expect from a car with 150,000 miles on it. But nothing a short trip down to the local parts store wouldn't fix. My biggest complaint is that the rear brakes make a large squeal when stopping at low speeds. But I was told this was normal. I did replace idler arm.
General comments?
Excellent truck. Although 2WD, I have taken it off road numerous times with only one mishap, a flat tire (and prob the idler arm). Of course I shouldn't have been doing 60mph I would imagine.
I've even towed a 2.5 ton vehicle with it with no probs.
