What hadn't gone wrong with this truck? The engine seals constantly blew, and the truck leaked oil everywhere.
The truck burned a lot of oil, and smoked excessively while idling, to the point that my wife got a ticket for unreasonable emissions while she was sitting at a light.
The transmission shifted roughly and abruptly.
Fuel economy was abysmal.
The transfer case wouldn't disengage, had to take it to the dealer to fix. Same problem 1 month later. Never put it in 4x4 mode again.
I had all the original receipts for this truck, and I knew the previous owner, who took care of it very well. It wasn't abused. I can't figure out why it was just so unpleasant.
...anyways you must have gotten a bad toyota (oxymoron) but hey I've seen that same truck run on 3 cylinders and major mechanical problem (NO oil and fluids). TOYOTA FOR LIFE. FYI- don't get an automatic trans... it's askin for problems. You must take care of the truck and the truck will take care of you, which means you have to do regular maintenance (all cars need regular maintenance).
