1994 Toyota Pickup Xtracab 4x4 review from North America
"Absolutely the best vehicle I have and will continue to own!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My starter needed to be replaced at 104,000 miles.
General comments?
This is the best vehicle I have ever owned, as it faithfully starts and runs and gets me anywhere I need to go. I am the original owner of the truck, and have had it now for 10-years. I expect to own and operate it for at least another 10-years before I even start to consider replacing it. The 2.4L 4-cylinder engines has more than enough power for normal everyday driving, and I have towed the 12-foot dual axle U-Haul trailers packed to the upper limits of weight 3 times across several states, and the truck had no issues towing, except that on large uphill grades the speed would drop off dramatically, needing to stay in third gear until I was able to reach the summits.
Mechanically the truck is extremely sound, with no issues to note except that the starter motor was replaced at 104,000 miles.
The paint still holds the color and brilliance as it did 10-years ago. I keep the truck washed and waxed regularly, which has gone a long way in the truck's excellent appearance. I am still able to turn heads as I drive by people at the overall excellent condition that the truck is still in.
