"This is a rock solid pickup truck"

Power Steering Pump developed a leak at 160,000 miles and was replaced at 170,000 miles.

Toyota recall at 145,000 miles: dealer replaced both heads and resurfaced the block at no cost to me. I paid the dealer to complete the engine overhaul including new clutch components.

Replaced second set of tires at 120,000 miles.

In dash cassette player failed at about 100,000 miles.

Replaced original tires with mud and snow light truck tires at 40,000 miles.

Involved in a major accident September 1993, about 30,000 miles, that destroyed the entire front suspension and components on the front of the engine.

General comments?

This is a work truck outfitted with a bed liner and construction rack.

Seats are comfortable enough for 150-mile trips to and from work sites.

17-18 MPG on regular gasoline.

Tows a 3,000lb tailer comfortably, but is very slow up hills.

Will crawl through mud and snow in low 4x4.
