1985 Toyota Pickup RN from North America - Comments

The only things that has gone wrong with this truck is that the steering joints began to wear.

The engine overheated due to my stupidity. (I used it with a snow plow which blocked the airflow to the engine)

This is a truck, not a pleasure cruise car and it is very good at what it does. The 18 years of ownership it has been great! I call this, the bulletproof truck. I have hauled over 1500 lbs of concrete in the bed without engine strain and have taken it to 102 mph without problem. This is a great truck and I would definitely buy another car from Toyota.

Hi I owned a 1985 SR5 4x4. Probably the toughest best working vehicle I've owned. I bought it in 1986 with 12000 kilos or about 7200miles. Sold it in 1995 with 357,000kilos. Bought a Ford drove it for 2 yrs, now I'm back to Toyota, this time a 1992 4-Runner, it runs and works like a Toyota! GGGGGreaattt!!

I have a 1986 Toyota 1 ton longbed pickup that I bought in 1994 for a backup to my Ford Ranger. After I started to drive it, it became the primary driver. Had 82000 on it when acquired and currently has 332000 miles now, still runs like a top. Only things replaced 1 clutch,3 u-joints,1alternator,1 timing chain and guides. I will keep this truck probably forever provided it does not get piled up. Right now the family driver is dodge intrepid, but I prefer driving the Toyota when I travel alone. Best vehicle I own.

I just bought a 1986 Toyota pickup with a turbo. It is a great driving truck.

I've got an 11/84 mfg. standard pickup. Picked it up for $6K in 1/85. 380K miles with standard wear and tear. It's a beaut. I'll just keep it till it starts costing me more than a quart of oil every 1,000 miles!

I have a 1985 r22 Toyota, and it is hands down the most dependable thing. It's never left me anywhere, and I've done some dumb things in it. I'm currently doing bodywork and repainting it, and then I will redo all the interior. It's the best vehicle I've ever owned, and probably will ever own~!!
