Used 1996 Toyota T100 Extended Cab Consumer Reviews
I love my truck
I purchased my T-100 with 40K and now have 120K. I have had no work done other than timing belt and water pump. My wife keeps asking when I am going to get a new vehicle, but how can I get rid of a truck that still runs like brand new after 120K? Looks like maybe another 120K and I might concider putting it out to pasture. Nah.
Tundra's Daddy
I owned a T-100 for over 23 years, 220,500 miles. Very few problems over the years. AC still runs cold. Cassette deck still works. No engine problems - other than the rear engine seal being replaced a couple of times. I didn't run it as a daily work truck, but I did haul furniture, gravel, mulch (2 yards fit nicely), wood, debris, kayaks, etc. Full size bed - sheets of plywood and drywall fit. Reliable, comfortable, and the right size. Easy to drive, manuver, and park. My T-100 was T-boned on the passenger side of the truck last year. The door was smashed in, along the the extended cab and a portion of the front and rear fenders. No interior damage to the cab or bed. The power antenna still worked! The cost of repairs is leading me to sell the truck, otherwise I would have kept it. Great truck.

Amazing!
This is the most amazing truck ever, and I have driven or rode in every truck made at least the front runners. Quite frankly, there are no front runners compared to this truck. It has been across the country and back so many times I stopped counting. The only major thing, except for me crashing it, was the head gasket recall. Toyota stepped up to the plate on that one and did the right thing. The truck still looks great and with over 200K it still runs perfect! Wish I could afford to put cool rims on it.....! I will be the only owner, not to sound selfish....lol
A Great Truck
I bought this truck at an auction. It had 90,000 miles at the time and has over 140,000 now with absolutely no problems. I think about getting a new one but this one runs great. I intend to put 200,000 plus miles on it...
What happened ?
Bought with 70000 miles in '99, enjoyed every minute of ownership until the end. Changed oil religiously, timing belt changed at 65,000 & 120,000, performed regular Ttrans & coolant services, basically followed owner's manual. What more could I do, right? What I'm getting to is head gasket failure that led to cylinders 3 & 6 getting "burnt" (mechanics term) at 158000 miles. Quite disappointed I am in the Toyota product. If I follow recommended maintenance shouldn't I get at least 200000 miles out of a Toyota product? Quite irritating to take such good care of a vehicle, internally & externally, and have it cough up an engine this soon. Thanks Toyota.....
