1992 Toyota 4x4 Extended cab review from North America
"I would buy this truck again tomorrow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Warranty recall of the steering center link - no cost replacement. Front hubs needed to be re-packed, very inexpensive. Front calipers were getting tight so I replaced them (pads too) parts were very reasonable. 4 shocks, and new tires.
The drivers seat is torn (bottom left of seat back - seems very common).
The clear coat was peeling on the front drivers fender when I bought it.
General comments?
I love the truck. It is smooth and comfortable on the highway. Quiet too. It could use more power for towing (small trailer with 2 dirt bikes). I am always wanting better gas mileage, but then it is a truck, not a car.
It was well cared for when I bought it so it has no rust.
The head gasket recall had been done on the truck - the biggest thing to watch for on this model.
