1982 Toyota Pickup review from North America
"This pickup has proven to be very reliable useful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little has gone wrong with this pickup that couldn't be considered normal maintenance due to miles and age.
The first problem it had was a sticky throttle cable which was solved by cleaning and lubrication.
The second problem that occurred was a sticky carburetor.
Problem number three is an intermittent problem in shifting.
General comments?
This pickup has been very reliable. It has never left me stranded due to engine or other problems.
It has paid for itself many times over due to its versatility and load carry capability.
The only modification I have made was the replacement of the seat with one from a later model Toyota pickup which is more comfortable.
