1982 Toyota Pickup Long Bed review from North America
"Never quits!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the alternator and radiator at 110,000 miles.
The truck will almost never start the first time.
If you want to practice being a cowboy, this is the ride for you. The rough ride will make you think your riding a bull.
There is a lot of rust all over the bed of the pickup.
The truck is burning oil and I have to put in a quart of oil every week.
General comments?
This long bed pickup has just enough power to do what you need to do.
It is very rare and almost impossible to find a long bed Toyota in good shape.
The bench seat is comfortable when the vehicle is not moving.
If you don't care about style, looking good or power then this is the truck for you.
Very reliable.
