1983 Toyota Pickup Sr5 review from North America
"I would make it across the world twice!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Initially when I received the car it had a starter problem, with a rebuilt one on a warranty from a deal you replace them every 6 months of daily driving, dealer part no. more use. Common Toyota quality. Also leaky front window in the passenger corner window down to the floor along side a/c vents. Rust interior minimal and exterior moderate.
General comments?
Not much of a looker, but the engine and transmission side excellent, the block and head was well put together. If you find one keep that engine 22r it will never die. I totaled my car and it still drove, when I cranked it, didnt overheat after the wreck or anything .Thanks to the nice happy starter. With general part maintinence this car could treat anybody good.
