1984 Toyota Pickup SR5 review from North America
"Easy to repair anything on this vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Changed the engine for no reason at 160K.
At 200K changed voltage regulator.
At 210K changed washer pump.
Gaskets around the door and window are now goin out.
General comments?
It's like a puppy. I wish it would just stay looking like it was. Mechanically it's great. Replaced everything, but body wise it's starting to rust. Never been garaged and now leaks around the windows.
Suspension has had VERY little work, but the TOYO has been my favorite car out of the 8 I have owned. Its the only Pre-Marriage item I own. Hard to give up.
