4.9 Overall rating
(7 reviews)I love this truck to death, it is a die hard, steadfast, workhorse, will take anything i throw at it and more, the engine and drivetrain are of bulletproof design, torsion bar front with dual control arms, and leaf springs out back mounted to an solid 7.5" ring gear, which i find is the only weak point of the truck, this is easily fixed by getting a 1 ton toyota axle off of a 2wd to retain the 5x114 lug pattern, one piece driveline, no carrier bearing to drag down power, the 22re by far is toyota shining jewel of engines, the only ones to match its quality if the 5vzfse or the 3.4L DOHC in the tacomas, and the new 5.7L in the new tundras. The only weak point of the 22re is that it is a single overhead cam with only 8 valves instead of going to a DOHC 16 valve configuration, the 2.4L makes outstanding torque and makes a moderate amount of power for this little 2500lb truck, it has a top end of around 112mph but can be pushed to do more, the only other lacking is no power steering in the base model this is easy for someone who is in decent shape but not good for others, makes parking somewhat difficult as well. The interior is simple, some luxuries being carpeted floors and A/C came stock with tape deck player and AM/FM very simple, but can easily be modified with an aftermarket deck and have all the modern commodities, the interior pieces are very hardy to all kinds of damage, simple to clean, and easy to disassemble and reassemble. The cost of this vehicle is very low, minus normal maintenance and one lifetime replacement of the head gasket this little truck will last for 500,000 miles plus more, and gas mileage depending on how you drive it is very good. Finally this rig is a blast to drive, small and nimble, can fit into many small places and do things other vehicle just cant.
Mechanically sound, with a dependability hard to come by these days.
A great lady, Mary W., gave me this truck for free. To balance out the karma, I have helped move people 17 times (so far). This is the first vehicle I've ever owned, and I love this little truck like an animal. She's had her problems, but she runs like a top. I think I'll have to get a new vehicle soon, because of rust; but that's not her fault at all. If you want a truck that runs forever and will love you like a dog, pick a Toyota.
Other than routine maintenance and wear items, this has only been in the shop for a single repair (reconnect speedometer cable). The truck weighs in at less than 2700 pounds and with the rear leaf suspension, rear wheel drive, sticky tires, and the 5 speed manual transmission, this truck is a blast to drive. The wider tires really gives the truck a nice stance.
love driving my pickup. ive had it for only 10 days and have already put 2000 miles on her,its a Toyota,so im sure i will put a lot more on her.Has a/c, power steering and lots of pep .{22re} engine.
