I have a 86 2wd with over 300k on it that has lasted through 4 teenage drivers. they are hard to kill.I saw that. Classic is right!
Hell, there are a few yotas around here that teenagers couldn't kill.

I have one i will sell you..lol might kill on shipping though.If I was to consider a mini truck, it would be an older solid axle toy.
Decent thoughts bro...thanks for sharing em.If you're gonna have a truck and need use it as such, get a real truck! Unless you're just antsy to change it up and wanna pay more in registration/tag $$ to switch everything over, why mess with a good thing. It's worth more than you think to have a dependable vehicle that you know and can depend on. Newly purchased, used trucks are rarely that until you get a certain amount of maint. done.
I personally wouldn't be happy hauling or towing much of anything in a Tundra (or less), but we live in different places, seem to have different expectations of a truck and need different demands met. To me the best setup (in my neck of the woods, where it's steep, windy, and snowy/muddy) would be a 4x4 1 ton and a 4x4 1/4 ton (Nissan or Toyota) both manual trans. That way you are covered pretty much no matter what, until you get into some pretty serious hauling and towing, plus you don't always have to drive the 1 ton. That's the situation I'm in now, but I suppose it could be worse…I could just have a 1/4 ton and no 1 ton to do real work with.
Just my thoughts!
Hey guys,
A lot of thing have changed for me in the past 6 months, and I'm looking closely at possibly selling my full size 03 Tundra Access Cab V8 with 169K.
At best I cut 4-5 cords a year...so its not a truck needed for survival or work related.
I've got several good offers...I can get about 35% more than I paid for it from a friend of mine.
I'm looking at taking some of cash and buying a smaller truck ext- cab...perhaps a Ford Ranger, GMC Sonoma or maybe a Tacoma Pre-Runner with higher miles. Might just buy a decent utility trailer for extra hauling as-needed.
Funny, thing even though this truck really sucks down the gas...I've really grown kinda attached to the power, comfort and safety of it...almost getting the @#$ blues before I sell it!!! lol
Have any of you guy downgraded in trucks before...is the fuel/insurance savings worth it...did you REGRET it?
As small trucks go...What would you studs recommend or AVOID?

That is a good analogy for this site. I am in a similar situation but my little truck is a 2wd.think of it as the 50cc/70cc saw plan in trucks.
I'd probably buy that one, problem is they never come up for sell around here. I had to buy my 94 from a friend down in Florida.There's deals out there if ya don't mind some tinkerin. Here's one from today in my local CL

More or less how I got my chevy 3/4 ton, I bought the wheels and tires, got a free truck with them, then tinkered with it and got it running! Mostly just needs injectors now.
That yota up above ain't gonna last long I bet.
nice 94, I has a red 94 extended cab just like it, I bought it as a wreck, kid fell asleep and drove it over a stone wall then through a barn, the right frame rail was bent right behind the control arm, no one wanted to straighten it so I cut the IFS out then chained the left side to my 85 chevy 1ton that I backed into a pile of loam to hold it, then pulled the right (bent) rail back into place with a High Lift jack attached to a big tree, the put a solid axle in it out of an 84 4runner.
