1982 Toyota Pickup review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got the truck, the only thing wrong with it was a worn out driver seat, the lighter doesn't work, and the stereo was shot.
The motor does leak some oil; I don't blame it, it's 26 years old.
The 5-speed was replaced just before I got it.
The box was also replaced just before I got it.
General comments?
This truck is awesome if you live out in the country like me, but not if you have to go on long trips.
It is very slow, especially with the 4-speed. 3,000RPM to do 100 KM/H.
The cab is very small, and is not the greatest thing to look at.
On the plus side, this thing goes anywhere! And I never have to fix a thing when I'm done. I've had water over the hood, splashing at the window, (which was a bit scary) and mud as deep as the cab, and I've only got it stuck once, (amazingly).
For the 20,000 hard Kilometers I've put on it, I haven't had to replace a thing and it still starts every time.
If this truck ever dies, I would buy another one in a heartbeat.
