1984 Toyota Pickup SR5 review from North America
"The best truck out there"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The truck was completely rebuilt at 160,000, before I bought it. After that, it was lifted and turned into a prerunner.
The right axle bearing locked up at 190,000 miles.
Other than that,just normal wear and tear.
General comments?
The truck has been through every thing and still made it back home. It's been jumped 7ft high, played in the mud, dune climbed, and tons of other off-roading.
The truck is quick because of $3,000 worth of performance parts including cam, header, injectors, intake, and 3" pipe with a Flowmaster muffler.
It is also an every day truck.
