1988 Toyota pickup
1988 Toyota Other 4x4, 5 speed Description
For Sale: 1988 Toyota pickup, 22RE EFI 4 cylinder engine, 5-speed, 4-wheel drive, AC. Mileage is 169K, title is clear.
I purchased this truck on Ebay in 2004 from New Jersey, and drove it home. What follows are things I’ve done with the vehicle since I purchased it: New clutch in 2010, new steel-reinforced fiberglass bed in 2011 (via B&G Fiberglass in Trout Run, PA—tailgate is metal), professionally painted in 2012 using a chip from a 2005 Ford F-150 (I can supply the number if need be) with new hood and quarter panels installed at that time. New radiator in 2014, new tires in 2016 (warranty is in the glovebox.
About the truck: In spite of its age, it still runs very well. Though I’ve not done a lot of engine work, I never really felt the need to. I change the oil myself and try to maintain the vehicle as often as possible. Mileage averages about 20-21, heat and AC work fine (though the AC struggles a bit on extremely hot days). It’s fun to drive because it doesn’t have a large profile, handles well, and provides a mostly unobstructed view of traffic. Original altimeter and attitude gauges still work as does the clock. Interior is in remarkably good shape considering its age (though the driver’s seat could use some TLC).
Full disclosure: There is some very minor hail damage (only about 3 or 4 places), and some minor rust appears inside the driver’s side door frame and beneath the passenger door (on the running trim, not the door-should be visible on photos). The truck is a daily driver, and there are some minor scratches in the paint, but nothing major.
For a complete photo album, drop me a note and I will send a link. Ebay doesn't permit outside links on its listings. Thanks for looking! Hope you wind up with this really neat little truck.
