1992 Toyota Pickup review from North America
"I wish I still had it, but will buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The climate control system quit working about halfway through my ownership.
Fourth gear was noisy.
The shifter could be stiff, especially in cold weather.
The valves rattled a little if they weren't adjusted.
General comments?
It never got less than 22 miles per gallon; more economical than the 2006 Mazda 3 I rented after it was totaled.
During the time I had it, I only performed two oil changes, changed out the gear oil in the transmission, replaced the plugs/cap/rotor/wires, and changed a few burned-out bulbs.
The truck was surprisingly quick!
The paint and interior trim held up very well considering the age and mileage.
The cab was a bit cramped for my tall frame.
Power steering would have been nice; it's very hard to find one of these trucks with that option, though.
It was rock-solid reliable, and never left me stranded.
