You should unplug it every time you walk by. I imagine that the outlet in the garage is from shared electrical service Alternatively, start putting your garbage in the back of the truck. If anyone asks, tell em it looks like a regular dumpster

I had one of those. It was a flaming piece of poo poo. My roomate wrecked it and I sold it to some guys for like a grand that were gonna rebuild it. It would get 8mpg and still be unable to merge onto a highway at more than 50. The 8-6-4. Thirst of 8, 6 on deck, power of 4.

I had a 4 cyl 5 speed Tacoma of that exact vintage and the stupid thing wouldn't accelerate uphill at over 60 mph. I absolutely do not understand how people get all teary-eye nostalgic about those goddamn things. And that's before you consider the inside out rust issues and 12 mpg fuel economy.

It's because its a Hilux and they can not die. That's it. That's the whole deal. Plus Technicals. Tacomas are north American specific trucks that came out in the mid 90s.

Yeah it's diesel boys that carry the legend of ~Hilux~, and anything related, including the "Toyota Pickup" as the Hilux was called here before the Tacoma showed up and cracked it's frame, is dragged along in that reputation. Even with the V6. I have my doubts that any 3vzs were rolling around Chad during the Toyota War.

I think it was mostly LandCruisers anyway which would have had a 2L or 2H Toyota still sells brand new Hiluxes with the L series of engines where there aren't any emissions standards and reliability is more important than performance (they have like 95hp)

that truck isn't twelve grand because of enthusiast nostalgia, it's twelve grand because it's low mileage and you haven't been able to buy a pickup that size and height new in twenty years, and when people actually buy a pickup to do actual revenue labor, half the time a modern pickup is a waste and a hassle compared to something like that, even at that price

I had a Hilux all through college with the 22r motor. It couldn't easily break 60 on account of the 4, the floor was rusted through the turn radius was "eventually" and if you had to stomp on the brakes I hope you didn't skip arm day because without power steering you are going to have to wrestle with it as it skips around and tries to murder you.and everyone around you. However. I paid 200 for it. Lasted me 5 years of college. It repeatedly would notify me of something broken by not starting but giving me a workaround. Starter motor dead? That's fine 2 college kids and a slight incline bamo. Distributor dead? Nonsense you just smash on it a few times kind of pry the contacts a bit and sure it's running on 2 but it'll make it to O'Reilly's. Battery's don't die it's just a good idea to remember an incline solves both battery and starter problems. Forget your key? No worries the steal me junction was like 2 wires.and whatever you could find that was conductive. When I finally brought it to a mechanic to have a real tuneup done on account of idk some extra cash I had that semester the engine tested in factory specs for compression and had original clutch and transmission on it. With 230k miles. Do not disparage the glory of those trucks. We were but poor beggars unused to the light of the machine god until verily they were given to us. Our eyes opened and we saw, there, the light and glory. adaz fucked around with this message at 11:58 on Mar 24, 2024 |

It isn't like the Hilux got it's reputation from nowhere. That truck posted will absolutely go for that price. I've sold many an imported Hilux for far more than that and the people that want them are glad to pay it. People love Land Rovers and BMWs with all their faults and pay even more, why is it weird that a Toyota could?

Some people drink their own piss in the morning and are happy about it. Different things work for different people. The truck served me right when I had it, but I also paid $2,000 for it, not $20,000, which is what people seem to ask for the stupid thing on bring-a-trailer or whatever. There's a whole lot of nostalgia-driven irrational price gouging out there, and that's what it ultimately comes down to. I would never belittle the truck and people who buy them, if it wasn't for that pricing disparity. I sold mine for $1,800 and bought a single cab, manual 88? F-150 with a 302 V8, which was a loving beast, compared to Toyota. Yes it leaked and needed more maintenance, but it was more suited for actual construction work way more than the Tacoma. Edit: we never had any Hilux badged trick, not diesel engine here in the US. It's unfortunate, really Nitrox fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Mar 25, 2024 |

In the 90's when I was in the military a buddy of mine bought a brand new base model manual "Tacoma" because it was the cheapest thing on the lot. It was the same drat truck we used on the flightline when we worked (altho olive green lol), why he wanted one as a DD we never understood and gave him poo poo for it those things were horrible to drive for any extended period of time. Still better than Kei trucks tho which we had as well, why people would want to drive those as a DD I have no idea
