I second this. Well I had the 3rd gen with the carbureted 22r. I also had a celica with the fuel injected one though.

the truck would only do like 100km/h tops but would climb mountains. It also was so rusty that I needed to use a tarp to keep snow in the back for urban sessions. Both engines went close to 400k and for all I know could still be going.

yeah i won't drive one of those. i guess toyota might just be the way to go. i'm really just aiming to have a bed in the back to fit skis, surf boards, and be able to lay down comfortably in it.

why not just get a little compact suv that you can fold the back seats down and maybe get a ski rack if you take a lot of people

1st gen Toyota, they're bad fuckin ass and chicks dig em.

Super simple, tough as nails and cheap to fix. 20r is a great motor too, gets about 20mpg and runs out fine, theyre pretty torquey lil guys.
