classic vintage chrome yota 2.4 liter 22r 5-speed manual 4x4 gray

1988 Toyota Pickup Truck Description

This is a pickup truck that has a nearly indestructible reputation. To find one so well preserved/presented that also has the best features, like air conditioning and a five-speed, makes for the perfect mix of nostalgia and daily driver appeal.
Not only is the reputation of this truck tough, but it's looks are quite intimidating, too. The hood has a hint of a power bulge, the fenders are flared wide, and the stance is nice and tall (making the subtle addition of the bright tubular step bars quite nice.) You get to see all of this so well because the sheetmetal has been respected for over three decades. There was a more recent professional respray of the original gray paint. So it does a terrific job of highlighting the well-creased lines of this pickup. But as good as this one looks, it still is ready to work and play as hard as you. That's why there's liner paint in the bed, a folding tonneau cover, and a proper trailer hitch.
The same exceptional level of presentation is found on the inside, too. The door panels, dash, seat, and so much more look stock. It's the result of the right mix of preservation and investments in correct replacements. There are nice factory features like a tilt steering column and the sliding rear window provides the kind of old-school truck breezes we all love. You will also find plenty of worthwhile upgrades, like a movable cup holder center console, AM/FM/cassette stereo with CD changer, auxiliary gauges (including a tach, )and the air conditioning is blowing cold with modern R134a.
Under the hood is what makes these Toyotas so desirable. The 2.4-liter 22R motor is the backbone on which Toyota has built their reputation for reliability. This is a replacement motor that was imported about halfway through the truck's life, and that's important, because we never were offered this kind of high performance version that was available elsewhere. It's a fuel-injected powerplant that features aluminum heads and a header. That means you get a reliable reputation mixed with extra efficiently and power. The way this one fires up reaffirms the everlasting nature of a well-maintained Toyota truck, and the five-speed manual transmission gives you full control. It's the right mix of preservation and upgrades that will make this a true stunner as the market continues to grow nostalgic for these tough Toyotas. But more than just collectable, this pickup has a lot of work and play left in it, too. The two-speed 4x4 transfer case, tall stance, and Bridgestone Dualer tires get you deep into nature. Plus, power steering and power brakes with discs up front make it easy to run around town or the trail.
Complete with owner's manual and maintenance records, this is nostalgia and ability all offered at quite an affordable price. Don't miss your chance, call today!
