1985 Toyota 4x4 review from North America
"Reliable and great off-road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the original 22R engine at 211,000 for better gas mileage and performance. Most repairs have been related to the engine swap or part of the 4wd buildup (lift, running gear upgrades, etc.) and to fix a roll over accident.
General comments?
I love this truck. It never leaves me stranded, looks good, is comfortable to drive and ride in, and gets decent mileage (18 - 20 mpg with a 4" lift and lots of weight in it from parts, tools, winch, dogs, camper and running the A/C).
