1991 Toyota Pickup review from North America
"I couldn't imagine buying anything but a Toyota"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the truck with a blown head gasket and that was the only thing that was not caused directly by the previous owner that I know of.
I have had a slight problem with the power steering pump, but other that the car is in good shape.
General comments?
My truck handles like a car on the highway. I have a lift kit on my truck with 33 inch tires, so the handling and noise were a big concern for me, and to be honest the truck does better than my friends trucks without lifts in both departments.
This is my first car that I have bought or owned, and I dropped in a motor without a history with having head gasket problems, and it runs awesome. The motor I put in has close to 150,000 miles on it, and I can take it on the highways on my way to Nebraska going 85 with a lift kit and 33 inch tires, pretty impressive.
To be honest I was able to buy plenty of Jeeps in the same condition for cheaper, and I am so happy that I went with the Toyota. On the trails I can go wherever I want, getting this truck stuck is a chore.
Toyota just makes good trucks, the 4 cylinder was my first choice, but I am impressed with the V6.
I took it to Toyota to have the steering relay rod replaced as a recall, and I was expecting to get a long list of other parts that needed to be replaced, but they had nothing other than problems I already knew of and were planning to fix. That just shows hoe well built these trucks are, that even after 190,000 miles the truck is still holding together.
