1994 Toyota Pickup review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing! This truck has been a workhorse and absolutely reliable. The only work done on the vehicle has been routine maintenance.
(One minor note... The bed of the truck has begun to rust. However, this is most likely related to lack of replacing a tailpipe on a timely basis.)
General comments?
This truck has been the most reliable vehicle we've ever owned. We've also used it hard (we have a farm and a small woodworking business, so it hauls around a lot of stuff, animals, etc.). It's incredibly useful!
The truck also has tons of power. Additionally, since it has 4WD, we can go anywhere on our farm (or out on snowy days) without fear of getting stuck.
The truck has a stretch cab. Technically, the truck can carry four passengers. However, you have to basically be a midget to sit in the back. As our children have grown, the space in those seats seems increasingly cramped. However, it's relatively rare that we travel in this vehicle as a family.
My only concern with this truck is its safety rating. The safety ratings I saw indicated that the driver would be seriously injured or killed if he was in a major accident.
