Not too many of these left in one piece!! Don't miss out on another one!! No...this isn't a perfect specimen....but it is an exceptional one!! MINIMAL rust considering it's age and mileage. Looks amazing....no body damages. No sloppy body repairs. Properly maintained mechanically. Many many years of life left....oh...and it's a 5 speed!!! As stated the exterior looks great!! Plenty of Typical rock chips. Typical Toyota rust areas...but minimal. Rock chip on the left headlight lens but sealed. Dent on the bumper is small. Bumper chrome has seen better days with some chrome plating cracks and rust spots. Paint looks to be shiny and original with no signs of any major bodywork or repairs, altho I'm no bodyman. All the plastic trim looks great. A professional detail would bring the appearance up a notch for sure. You can also see the roof is lined with luggage/ski racks. Stainless steel step bars look excellent. Tires will get you thru to the winter. Rims look good but have the typical clearcoat peeling. No vibrations. No road noise. No suspension noises. No clunking or rattling. Brakes feel great and pulse free. Amazingly enough, only the rocker panels suffer the most yet the doors are clean. I'll take it!! Couple little surface spots here and there. Trailer hitch and wiring is intact. Power rear window operates as it should. No dragging or hiccups. Below you can see the doors and the step bars look great. Rust bubble on the hood but is very solid. Altho on the basic side, the interior gets an easy 8+ out of 10. No fabric damages and only the driver's bolster has cushion flatness. Carpet looks good. Steering wheel looks great. I hate smoke and can't see or smell any signs of a former smoker. As you can see, ALL the dummy lights illuminate upon startup with NONE staying on during run. With the exception of the cruise control (it activates but doesn't function) all the power items work as they should: power windows, locks. ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING, climate control, Alpine CD player, 4WD in all positions, sunroof, rear power window, etc. No major rust under the tailgate lip. Engine compartment is super clean. Battery fires engine right up and runs smoothly with no noises, rattles or issues. I can NOT stress this enough....the engine oil is SPOTLESS as the day it came from a bottle!! HAS to be synthetic all the way! I installed brand new NGK spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body and mass air meter. Air conditioning is ICE COLD. Timing belt tag shows replacement in 2011 but can't see the mileage. I pulled the cover and inspected it and I'd estimate a 200k mile change as there is no noticable wear or cracking or age present on the belt. No signs of any major oil or coolant leaks (altho at the time of this photo shoot, the low pressure power steering line sprung a leak. The power steering works but will leak out after a few days. The truck drives fine without the power steering but will need to be addressed with a simple hose/fitting replacement). Clutch operates very well. No chattering or slipping. Transmission shifts in all gears as it should. No drivetrain or suspension noises. No popping or rattling or squeaking. Truck drives smooth and straight down any roadway with no unusual pulling or wandering. All lighting works as it should. Spare tire is intact. I've driven this truck for about 100 miles to ensure it's reliability...even with the power steering loss, it's a joy to drive! Inspect my excellent feedbacks.
