1988 Toyota Pickup short bed review from Japan
"Long-lasting"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The worst thing is the clutch seal keeps leaking and replacing it costs 200-400 bucks. So right now I am just keeping a watch on the clutch fluid and topping it off when necessary. My mechanic, known since before I got this truck, says he has seen several with the same problem. Other than that, it's been very good. I intend to keep it.
General comments?
Acceleration is still very good. Best to keep some weights in the truck bed, though, as you could fishtail in ice and rainy weather.
