1989 Toyota Pickup SR5 extended cab review from North America
"I love this truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to have rear replaced at 186000 miles.
Second replacement starter at 185000 miles.
Front seals replaced at 182000 miles.
Timing belt replaced at 220000 miles.
Clutch replaced at about 140000 miles.
General comments?
This is by far the best, most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. The V6 engine is quick and relatively quiet. Not much seating room in the extracab, but perfect for a big dog.
The engine is still strong at 186,500 miles. Amazing!
