“Toyota would do VERY well if theyd 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.
Similar 1986 Nissan Hardbody for sale right here. 112k, original owner, 5 speed, never needed anything but the most basic maintenance. Did replace clutch last year.
