1992 Toyota Pickup review from North America
"Good truck, bad engines"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blew engine 1 up.
Blew head gasket.
Blew engine 2 up.
Replaced radiator.
Replaced 3 alternators (all caused from washing the engine compartment).
Engine 3 on its way to failure.
General comments?
Four wheels as good as anything including a Jeep Wrangler.
Slow, slow, slow... but gets you to where your going unless you spray down the engine prior to leaving.
Besides the engine the rest of the truck has been really reliable.
Engine not made for trailer pulling.
Not comfortable.
Noisy on the road.
Bad place for a cup holder (above the radio).
Bumper falls apart if used for towing.
Royal pain in the butt to put differential lockers in.
If used for heavy fourwheeling the engine will fail.
