I just bought a 94 Xtracab SR5 and I'm in love with it. I've taken it off road and it does just as well as my friend's '77 Blazer with 9 inches of lift on 40 inch tires. A very solid truck, I will drive it until it can't be driven any more.
Bring this truck back!

I love this truck. I am the org owner used it for both daily commute and work around the home. The Toyota shop manuals I purchased with the vehicle are by far the best manuals ever written with clear diagnostic steps and drawings. The 4 cyl engine is a real work horse. To date (130K) it always starts, gets 18 mpg around town, doesn't leak oil, and is able to push the attached snow plow in deep wet snow. The light weight body makes 4 wheel driving easy, even with stock suspension and tires! This vehicle has out climbed my buddies souped up 4x4s, able to go up steep inclines, or through deep mud with ease. It's so tough, I think it will outlive me!
'94 was a great year!

I bought the 94 pickup new, and at 90K miles, it still looks and runs like it just came from the showroom. Never had a problem with this truck. This was the final model series just before Toyota switched to the Tacoma pickup. I expect this truck to still be going strong 200,000 miles from now!

I obtained this vehicle during my 2nd year of college. I was excited when I got it, and haven't stopped loving it. The only bad thing about the vehicle is the gas mileage, but all the positives way outway the one or two negatives(head gasket went out, but was actually on recall, so it didn't cost me a dime). This has been a go anywhere, do anything type of vehicle that has never let me down. I will drive this vehicle till the motor goes out, then I will purchase another motor. Just can't say enough about this vehicle.

I love my toyota truck. A little rusty expected that. I have had no major problems that weren't caused by my own doing (new front boot). when I purchased it it had 138,000 miles on it I now have 147,000 on it. I think the major complaint that I have seen most is the bad gas mileage. I drive about 10 miles a day to & from work in city traffic and of course occasional 4 wheeling.I enjoy it very much couldn't ask for better. very serious 4 wheeling truck.
long life great truck

I bought this brand spankin' new in 1995 with 70 miles. In 1998, I took it on a "USA Counter-clockwise Perimeter Tour". In 11 days, I drove 9600 miles. My first leg was non-stop from L.A. to Houston. I drove 24 hours straight (except for gas/food) for 1600 miles. Currently, I spend about $500-$750/year in maintenance, but it's been well- worth it. I hope to double the 185,000 miles I currently have on it.

Endless problems with Fords, bought this with 30k on it and am a Toyota convert. 220k miles - clutch @ 180k, front brakes every 60k, rear brakes ORIGINAL!, exhaust manifold warped @ 140k. I've spent less than $2,500 in repairs and $600 was my fault for letting the front brakes get into the rotors and hosed the calipers. Gas mileage depends on speed... 33@55, 18@80. Would like more power but the 22RE is adequate. Next truck will be Tundra

This truck has served me very well for the past 6 years. I bought it from a friend in 2000, at that time it had 100k miles on it. I t now has 174k and it's still running great. The oil gets changed every 3k or so and I have had no major issues in that period of time. It gets about 15-18mi per gallon which is kind of a drag, but it also is a great off-road vehicle with a nice suspension and drive train for rocky terrain. I would however give this truck poor ratings for power; 4th and 5th gears are not really made for long hills. And towing anything heavy is not so recommended. The automatic version does not have this fault. Other than that this vehicle is very well built and fun to drive.

This truck has been very dependable. It has over 164,000 miles on it. The only thing that has needed to be replaced are the front brakes. The body has a couple of very small spots of rust. It has been a great vehicle.

Dependable truck. I've never had any problems with it (although I don't have many miles on it... only 60K). This is the 2nd Toyota Truck I've owned and my next one will likely be a Tundra.

This truck is soooo reliable. I've gone through highschool and college with this truck. Never quits on me. It's funny to watch all of my friends have car or truck problems, which makes me realized that having a Toyota saved me a lot of money. My Toyota has 150K and they only thing I've had to do is oil changes and tire rotations.

Timing chain went at 137,000 miles. $700 to fix. Ran well till 246.000 miles. $1550 to replace motor with rebuilt and still going strong. Would buy another in a heart beat if the kids were still small, but after 8 years it's getting hard for them to ride in the back. Would still have the original motor in it but head gasket, timing chain replace would have been the same price. great little truck.

I purchased this truck in 1998 for $10K with 42,000 miles. Currently at 145,000 miles and nothing has broken. Aggressive maintenance practices using only factory parts have proven to be effective. The best truck I've ever owned - the 22RE engine is the finest example of Japanese engineering, wish the top 3 auto makers in the US would model their quality design efforts.
Great truck!

I bought this truck new. I had always wanted a 4x4 and I had a great excuse when I bought a new house with a treacherous driveway. I put about 40k on the truck in the first three years but have not put on 10k since. I have loaded this truck with a pallet of concrete blocks, yards and yards of gravel and many other things that were way over it's rated capacity. Never even made a groan. Very capable off-road. Interior comfort is as good as it could be in a small truck. Somewhere around 40k miles I think I hurt the engine off-roading and over- revving. It makes a weird rattling sound at high RPMs, but I've been driving it anyway and nothing has happened yet.

My uncle bought this truck brand new with 40 miles on it. Then gave it to me after a few months and I've driven it since then. Now it has about 166K miles and still running great. Hasn't failed a single smog check nor left me stranded on the road. A very dependable and reliable truck.

My dad got this truck in '95 used off a lot with less than 20k on it the original engine went at 258K and we put a new one in and now it has 13k on it. The truck is a tank and unfortunately has been hit several times by drunk drivers or idiots who don't know what stop signs are. Every time we get her fixed someone comes to ruin it for us. She just got t-boned and took major body damage but the frame is still perfect and she drives like a charm none the less. I am going to miss my baby. She was a good truck to my whole family and never had any major problems just fair wear and tear. I just wish the insurance would cover her this one last time. Goodbye Bernadette.

Before my dad got me this truck I was driving an 1989 Isuzu pickup, which is a great truck too. We got it with 111,000 miles and now it has 147,400. This truck is great! The gas mileage average's out to about 25 miles/gallon. It is hard to drive on hills, especially when pulling something or having heavy stuff in the bed. Other than that this truck is very dependable. Trucks are supposed to be abused on the exterior, and I have done my fair share. I change the oil every 3,000 miles, and have other work done as needed. I will drive it until it falls apart. In the next couple of years I will get another truck. Hopefully I will have the same experience with that one.

I am one of the few people who truly uses 4WD on a regular and necessary basis. This tough little Toyota (3.0L V6 w/ manual trans/manual hubs) will outperform anything I have owned, and is apparently due to a good balance of wheelbase, weight, and tires. Low end torque is impressive. I've not put any $$ into this vehicle (98K miles) other than routine maintenance. Timing belt was replaced at 66K miles when recall replaced the head gasket. Toyota paid for the belt labor and I had to only pay for the belt itself. Would I buy another?... in a heartbeat!

Outstanding vehicle! Replaced timing chain and fan belts at 130,000, clutch at 200,000, original rear brakes still, second set of front pads. Regular oil and filter changes, second set of plugs and second battery, original shocks and the A/C has only needed charging once, this year - that's it. Average 24 mpg from day one. No rust except where exhaust pipe meets rear fender. Couldn't ask for a better vehicle. Second Toyota pickup, will definetely buy another if this one every quits.

It just keeps running. I bought this truck new and kept it maintained. Ride was bouncy at first, the addition of a fiberglass cap changed that. To this day the engine purrs. All things considered it's been cheap to keep. The absolute best factory service manuals in the business. Clearly detailed with logical trouble-shooting techniques. Absolute best design for week-end mechanics. From orientation of the ignition system to the access panel for the oil filter, this vehicle was designed to last a long time and be easily maintained.

I just bought this vehicle a month ago with 133,000 miles from my dad who was meticulous about the maintenance. Had no reservations about the purchase. Plan on keeping it until 200k. No interior rattles or squeaks, unlike the 2000 Ford Explorer it replaces. The 22RE has plenty of love left to give, great gas mileage, smooth ride. What more can you ask of a 10-year old vehicle?

I bought this truck in March of 2002, it had 82k miles and looked exactly like the photo above. It was in mint condition, one owner (driven by a non- off-roading lady) who took really good care of it. All I have done is keep up the routine oil changes and so on, new tires, etc. It runs great, rides great, and it still looks great. Most of my friends who drive Xterras, Pathfinders, 4- runners are jealous. I love the truck and would buy another if in the same position, of course gas mileage is the only problem, but I new it before I bought it.

I have owned a 1990 Nissan 4x4 and now this one and the Toyota has the most power. I liked the interior of the Toy more to. I have found it easer to find 3rd party addons for the Toyota to. And there are more Toyotas in the wrecking yard to get parts off of then others.

I have had this truck for ten years now. Its been the best money I have ever spent. I purchased at 88000 miles. Extremely reliable and low maintenance. Good fuel economy and very nice handling for a truck. In the last decade I've replaced the starter and a battery thats it!

I researched for months before making my purchase and Toyota came out ahead. Only two manufacturers offered forward facing rear seats with three point shoulder belts. I never understood how manufacturers could advertise the importance of the feature in cars, then ignore them in trucks. The second issue was reliability. Only Nissan had a reputation that approached Toyota. The pick up is unbelievably dependable. In seven years I have had one repair, and it was covered under warranty. The third issue for me was fuel economy. It has consistently exceeded the manufacturers estimated fuel economy. I can't say enough about the 22R engine. Great economy and decent power at the same time.

This truck was bought with 140k and has had some minor wear and tear problems. Such as radiator, battery, alternator but nothing major. This is a great truck has been able to handle lot of demand (Houston traffic). Now it has over 250k and keeps going. Great investment. Have had many offers and has never been for sale.

I purchased this truck to drive back and forth to college. I needed something good on gas but something that I could also drive in the winter time in our unpredictable weather. But after i was done with college i decided to keeo the truck i put a lot of miles on it in a pretty short period of time and it runs just as good as the day i first drove. No mechanical defects. Well built. Built to last and built right. Toyota tuff.

I have a 1994 Toyota DLX 3 liter, 4wd, 5 speed manual truck. It has been across the country several times. I bought it in Tucson, Arizona at 194,000 miles in 2015 and it currently has 301,000 miles and it still runs great. I bought it as a road trip vehicle and for the first two years I owned it, I drove it to all 49 landlocked states. It has wintered in Denver, Colorado, and for the last two years in New Hampshire. I had to replace the clutch, radiator, timing belt and exhaust system. All other costs were personal upgrades or due to an accident I got into with it. It has been the most reliable vehicle that I've ever owned, and I hope it has many more miles to offer.

I have had this truck for almost a year now. This has been the least reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I bought it and since then have spent almost 2000 fixing things that have broken over time - alternator (4 times!), battery, distributor, starter (twice), and things that I have yet to fix - cruise control, alternator (again). Nothing on this vehicle ever actually gets fixed. I have yet to drive it for a month without something expensive breaking.

This truck I could say is the best ever made I abused the truck and it just keeps on going. The 22re engine is just built beautifully. The body design is eye caching also. The new trucks have nothing on this model. People ask me all the time to sell but I'm not bugging

My Spiderman (because it's red) has loved me well passed 170k. I was a junior in high school when my dad brought it home with 52k on it. No problems ever! Reg gas and oil change, belts etc. Due to my inexperience in life, the alternator belt broke and I keep driving. I didn't mean to hurt my spidey. It overheated and now I suffer from a misfiring cylinder? I was driving some 400mi from my parents home back to college in the middle of nowhere when this happened.
