1985 Toyota Pickup review from North America
"This is a great machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed to replace the clutch around 200,000 miles. Replaced the timing chain at 209,000 miles.
General comments?
If I have my say, I will keep this little truck forever. The fuel economy and maintenance cost's make this a very affordable truck. There are very few electronic things to break and this makes it very easy to maintain.
