WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST TOYOTA PICK-UP TRUCK?

What was your first Toyota Pick-up truck?

I have seen other post like this on other forums that I am on. Thought it would be cool to see how far back others have been driving the legendary Toyota truck.

Here's mine. A 1990 Toyota "Pick-Up" Extra Cab 4x4 4 cylinder 22RE Automatic.
32x12.5r15 BFG's, Outlaws rims 10 x 15, Add A leaf, Torsion bars tighten up. Pre-Runner light bar. (not shown)

This photo was down at "S" Turns in the Outer Banks, NC on a weekend surf trip. Then we would drive north to Penny's Hill and hang out at family house in Carova Beach.


This thing was a beast, in any terrain. Except going up a mountain. It would go, but Ford Pintos could pass it with those 32's on it. lol.

What's crazy, it's still on the road 31/32 years later.

I wish I never got rid of it!


O.S.T.


MODS* If I posted in wrong spot, please adjust.

 

1994 extended cab 4 cylinder. Bought it with 70,000 miles in 1999. Now has 260,000 miles on it.
A couple mild repairs overall. Never stranded.

 

First Toyota truck was a 2003 Tacoma Xtra cab. Loved that truck but me and my growing family outgrew it quickly. I know those S turns very well as my cousin lives in Rodanthe. My old Tacoma and Tundras have been parked there many times.

 

First Toyota truck purchased new, 1983 4wd extra cab. First ever vehicle at 16 in 1975 was a '69 Datsun pickup.

 

My first is my Tundra.

 

I’ve never seen an 83 extra cab 4wd. I thought they didn’t offer a 4wd in xtra cab until 84.
You don’t happen to have any pictures of this 83 toyota xtra cab 4wd do you?

 

Honestly it may have been an '84 bought in late '83 early '84. Can't remember that far back and as it was my first marriage and try to repress a lot of that lol. All the pics from back then are in her scrap books.

 

1982 pickup 4x4

 

Brings back memories! They rusted out back then so quickly unfortunately.

 

Most did. Some didn’t… Those ones are now the living classics.


Toyota has never done well with their metal. Even up through the 2000’s

 

That model was the one that got me thinking about a Toyota 4x4 Truck. But I was busy haulin Azz in my 1974 Porsche 911.

O.S.T.

 

1983 4x4 22RE 5 speed manual with a longbed. 3” Rancho lift on 32x11.5.

LOVED that pickup. sold it for a 280zx. Huge mistake.

FYI - no extra cab until 84

 

I've got pics somewhere but not sure where. A 95 regular cab tacoma. 4wd, V6, 5 speed. That thing was tough as nails and nearly unstoppable! Wouldn't have gotten rid of it if it had ANY room.

 

2001 Toyota tacoma prerunner. I bought it new off the truck with 5 miles on it . I drove it 275000 miles before trading it in. It was by far the best vehicle I've ever owned.

 

No 22re until 85

 

Sick truck!

 

2020 MGM SR5 CM 4X4

 

1981 SR5 with 22R engine. that truck would climb a tree. sold it to go back to school. what an idiot I was.

I've owned this and


then got talked into getting a diesel in 1987. economy was sucking in 87

traded that for a 88 with the 22RE engine. check out that amazing xtra cab.


so yes I've had a few Yotas. 5 pickups, 2 Tundras and kept one of those Tundras 11 years.

 

Not just pickups, but same idea:

Not my truck pictured, but the same truck. Except mine had more rust than paint.
1976

 

I want a toyota 2wd diesel.

 

2021 Tundra - Black SR5 CM 4x4

 

2001 Tacoma, pipe bumpers front and rear, 8K Warn winch, lifted and regeared.
Damn, I miss that truck!

 

it was gutless. a mormon on a bicycle could pass you on the highway going up hill

 

Did it have an auto?

I’ve never bought a Toyota truck to win a race

 

Early 90’s extended cab 2wd 22re auto. Bought it with spun bearings, fixed it, drove it during college, spun a bearing, and traded it for a dirtbike and a golf cart chassis.

sorry no pics, that was after digital cameras came out, and myspace would save the pics forever.

 

That's some good dogs..
Your avatar is perfect for you..

I wish I could say I had an older model some of you had.

My first Toyota pickup was my 2005 DC..
Raised 2 kids in it.
She is 27 now..




Although I love my 2014 DC, there are times I wish I still had my 2005...

 

My first toyota pickup was the 81 when the 4x4 came out. this is after my roll over, I had it repainted with color changing custom paint. Then got a couple 4 runners and another pickup.

 

A 1992 regular 4x4 4cyl 5speed. I bought it from the original owner who lost a brake line and had an accident. Right front corner was pushed in and just barely buckled the frame behind the passenger front wheel. New grill, hood, right fender and little after hours straitening at the local alignment shop and she was 99%. Miss that truck.
