Hi fellas,
I may be moving into a new house and am going to need a truck. I love the IDEA of a single cab long bed 4x4 T100 as a 3rd vehicle. Looks like the most common configuration of these was 3.0 v6 and a 5 spd. A buddy had one with a s***load of miles and it wass a great truck, but all I hear about the 3.0 is bad. I love my first gen 4runner, but having 3 SUVs just doesnt make sense (and im not getting rid of my 80 or GX470) and it seems I could build the T into a pretty capable beater/trail rig/lowes runner using standard minitruck stuff.
Is the 3.0 really THAT bad?? Otherwise the T100 is just a giant toyota pickup, right? The specific one I'm looking at is a '94 with lots of miles, lots of new parts, and a really ugly paint job. Perfect for my intended use.
