1988 Toyota Truck review from North America
"The only vehicle you really need"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
AC quit at 50K, recharged and quit again; mystery freon leak, not worth investigating.
Starter went at 60K.
Factory sunroof leaks.
Body is half rust, half bondo.
General comments?
In a 2-driver home, we somehow have a Volvo XC70, a Sienna minivan, and a 96 Accord; somethings gotta go, but the truck STAYS!
'QQ' license plates and a full-on restoration in 2016 when my youngest gets out of college.
