1994 Toyota Pickup DLX 4WD from North America - Comments

Replaced thermostat.

Replaced exhaust manifold three times.

Replaced engine at 128,000 miles.

Replaced O2 sensor at 144,000 miles.

Bumper rusted off at 95,000 miles.

I may be the only person in the world to have such misfortune with a Toyota truck, but this truck has cost me dearly. I have put more money into repairs than the cost of the truck when I first bought it.

I'm afraid you're not the only person in the world. I too own one of these nightmares. I don't know where to begin, but first off I must mention I bought my 94 xtra cab 4x4 4 cyl because I had such great luck with my 88 toy, 6 cyl. --- I bought my 1994 with only 80k on it, it was owned by an old man who had all the maintenance records. I now have 130k on it and it chugs anti freeze just as bad as it chugs gas.

I can't understand these people that claim this thing is good on gas, because it has always been awful with about 17 mpg.

The truck is one of the slowest vehicles I have ever been in, I can barely merge on the highway.

Since I have owned it I have rebuilt the rear end, because somehow the pinion nut got loose and ruined the bearings.

The harmonic balancer has broken, the valves tick and clank and stick, even though the oil is and has been religiously changed, and now the head is leaking somewhere and I simply can't stand to look at it to fix the thing. I'm so sick of working on this thing.

I thought this was gonna be the last truck I would have to buy, I couldn't have been more wrong... I would not recommend at least this 22RE Toyota to anyone!! --- Keith.

I just replaced the pinion bearings in the rear end. At 168,000 miles still does some shaking and roaring but runs like a champ.
