1994 Toyota Pickup Reviews - Page 4 of 7

Nothing! This truck has been a workhorse and absolutely reliable. The only work done on the vehicle has been routine maintenance.

(One minor note... The bed of the truck has begun to rust. However, this is most likely related to lack of replacing a tailpipe on a timely basis.)

This truck has been the most reliable vehicle we've ever owned. We've also used it hard (we have a farm and a small woodworking business, so it hauls around a lot of stuff, animals, etc.). It's incredibly useful!

The truck also has tons of power. Additionally, since it has 4WD, we can go anywhere on our farm (or out on snowy days) without fear of getting stuck.

The truck has a stretch cab. Technically, the truck can carry four passengers. However, you have to basically be a midget to sit in the back. As our children have grown, the space in those seats seems increasingly cramped. However, it's relatively rare that we travel in this vehicle as a family.

My only concern with this truck is its safety rating. The safety ratings I saw indicated that the driver would be seriously injured or killed if he was in a major accident.

My starter needed to be replaced at 104,000 miles.

This is the best vehicle I have ever owned, as it faithfully starts and runs and gets me anywhere I need to go. I am the original owner of the truck, and have had it now for 10-years. I expect to own and operate it for at least another 10-years before I even start to consider replacing it. The 2.4L 4-cylinder engines has more than enough power for normal everyday driving, and I have towed the 12-foot dual axle U-Haul trailers packed to the upper limits of weight 3 times across several states, and the truck had no issues towing, except that on large uphill grades the speed would drop off dramatically, needing to stay in third gear until I was able to reach the summits.

Mechanically the truck is extremely sound, with no issues to note except that the starter motor was replaced at 104,000 miles.

The paint still holds the color and brilliance as it did 10-years ago. I keep the truck washed and waxed regularly, which has gone a long way in the truck's excellent appearance. I am still able to turn heads as I drive by people at the overall excellent condition that the truck is still in.

Key ignition locked. I had to call a lock smith to help me out.

Driver seat torn on bottom next to the hinge.

Factory paint job is wearing bad at 95,000 miles.

I got a fix it ticket for large tires and no mud flaps.

My high beam lights don't work (95,000 miles)

My truck has been very dependable. I only wish it was not an IFS. I'm thinking about converting my front end to a straight axle.

Good for hauling hay, wood and other hauling.

Compared to other trucks I have purchased, this is the most reliable truck I have had. It's great off road and very fun to drive.

Only problem I have, there is blind spot dividing the front window that almost caused me to another car.
