This truck is great, after replacing the rear springs I frequently haul over 2000 lbs and never any problems. This truck is always up to a challenge, I've pulled countless stumps.

Review

Has been a wonderful truck. 4wd feature works w/o any problems. 130,000 mi burns no oil, not a drop. This truck is not fast nor is it a comfortable ride, but it pulls my 17' bass boat anywhere I need it to, takes the abuse of adult off-road use. Handles well and it has good ground clearance with the 31" tires. Will buy another Toyota when the time comes.

Favorite Features

Shift on the fly 4wd. Gets through the snow drifts and out of slippery boat landings without any difficulties. The suspension is very stiff and seems to take abuse well.

Suggested Improvements

A larger engine would have been nice, though it is certainly not necessary. The 5 spd. tranny is an adequate match for the V-6 giving it muscle to tow and I can't complain about 20+M.P.G.

Review

I bought this truck a hear-and-a-half ago from a company that used the truck to regularly carry around 1,000 lbs of nuts and bolts. I have put 25k mi on it since then without a problem. The a/c has always been very cold, and the truck runs like a champ. I once carried 2,200 lbs of gravel at 75 mph on the interstate. I can fit 4x8 sheets of drywall (BETWEEN the wheel-wells) and shut the tailgate (8' bed). The T100 is the toughest, truck I have ever driven. I rag it out repeatedly, and it just won't die. I am selling it now, only because I found a sweet deal on a '98 T100 with low miles.

Favorite Features

8'long bed with 4'-2" BETWEEN the wheel- wells, STRONG V6, unbelievable reliability, cold a/c.

Suggested Improvements

I just wish they still made this truck.

Review

I run a landscape company and our trucks get huge amounts of abuse. This is the only truck I have EVER owned that has gone even over 70,000 with no major repairs. Well, it is currently at over 175,000 miles without one problem, and I mean not one. It's 2 wheel drive, and looks a bit ugly, but I trust that 1993 truck more than I would a one year old domestic. You can't imagine the abuse of numerous employees and a landscape business!! What a truck! I assume it was purposely built stronger because of it being their first year for the fullsize.

Favorite Features

Greatest reliability I have ever seen in any vehicle.

Suggested Improvements

Well, they did improve the exterior design.

Review

This is the first Toyota I've owned. I can see why Toyota owners are loyal to the make. The 93 is the first year of the T-100, and a good one. I drive consideralbe mileage and have no wories about being left stranded. I push it from time to time and it responds without griping. The 3.0 V6 is tough. Wouldn't hestitate to put 200k miles plus. Found that you have to run premium gas to avoid spark knocking. This particular truck has a modified bed. Due to an accident a flat bed was added by the previous owner. Looks a little different, but still in A-1 condition.

Favorite Features

Very roomy, COLD A/C

Suggested Improvements

Brighter instrument panel light and move the cup holder so it doesn't interfear witht he two main vent.
