Has lasted 22yrs

Truck gets u where u need to go. From logging roads to the beach. I haul coal and wood in wintertime. Still has cold a/c never been recharged with freon. Not a big cab only extended behind the seat, but all your important stuff fits. 22 mpg with 5 speed manual (Not many around) with 3.4 L V6. Rust is like gray hair on middle aged guys and Tacomas will rust.

This is a Life-time Sport truck, a classic Toyota.

This is my all time favorite 4WD Sport Truck. The best truck I have ever owned, and I do not like having to sell it.
