I had an '85 toyota 4wd pickup. I really beat the frigging snot out of it, bad, but changed the oil religiously. I put close to 200,000 on it, blew the engine and still managed to sell it for over $1000 8 years after I bought it.

The only repairs were a head gasket and bodywork, all of which I did myself. (of course brakes, shocks, and tires, etc got replaced)

I bought a new Toyota 4WD pickup in '85 and owned it for 19 years.

The thing NEVER left me stranded. I too, had to replace the head gasket because I neglected the antifreeze.

After 19 years people still pulled up into my drive way wanting to buy it.

Great truck!
