Working on my third Toyota in 22 years,,, all great trucks,,, my dads 2000 3/4 ton dodge diesel 4x4 was his dream truck, and was a lemon in a big way,,, windshield leaked,,, brakes locked on any kind of hill, dash lights shorted out, off road it was a major let down,,,, I pulled it out twice with my 1990 toy 4x4,,,,
late in 2000 I went to get a new truck, my 1990 had been all over Alaska, most of the Lower 48 and Mexico with 230,000 miles. Other than maintenence it had a new timing chain at 120,000 and 210,000. Ran the origional rear brake pads till 190,000 or so. Replaced a tranny bearing at 210 as well. Dad wanted to buy it then and is still driving it, close to 250,000 now, low on power with the well used 4 banger but purrs on. Motor, tranny, AC, all still going.
I need a new one now so I have room for my kids car seats in the back,,, will be a Toyota 4 door,,, big or small.
