"Reliable.."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

A/C hose replaced several times before 500 miles... eventually Toyota just replaced the whole AC system unable to solve the problem... lots of chlorofluorocarbons in the air thanks to that.

Clutch replaced at 160k

Plastic guides for timing chain and the chain itself - 200k.

Front brake pads every 20-50k most likely due to driving style. Rear shoes at 120k and still goin' strong when I sold the vehicle. Small rip in seam of cheap-o vinyl seats.

It's pretty hard to just come up with things on such a reliable vehicle. It literally looked and performed like a much newer vehicle.

General comments?

My father practically forced me to buy a Toyota P/U for my first vehicle. Now I know why. It endured my aggressive driving style and tens of thousands of miles of road trips. Many of which were 24+ hours of continuous driving. I didn't treat my truck well at all, but it was more than happy to take the abuse. I paid $7600 for it new and sold it for $2500 10 years later WITH the timing chain issue... what more could you expect???!!!
