Toyota would do VERY well if they’d bring back their little pickups with zero bling.

There are a number of smaller pickups sold around the world that aren’t sold in the US. 25% tariff.

“Toyota would do VERY well if they’d bring back their little pickups with zero bling.”

I bought a 4WD Toyota new in 1985. It was as basic as it gets, 5 speed, locking hubs, 2.4L straight 4 and a radio.

Best truck I ever owned. Bar none. And roughest riding. And you had to get it going to turn it.

I paid $5,800 cash...it was a price leader in an ad they thought nobody would ever want. NOTHING extra.

That same truck sells on the market today for $7,500. And it’s worth ever penny if the body is intact. They are simply unstoppable. 300,000 miles on the engine, transfer case/transmission was routine. And that’s if you didn’t change the oil lol

Everything can be replaced cheaply, as necessary.

The finest little truck mankind ever created.
