Toyota and pickup trucks have gone hand in hand since what seems like forever, and there are presently two of these Japanese machines with a bed attached to the rear on U.S. roads, the Tundra and Tacoma. Both are trailing the American giants with impressive sales numbers on their own.
Toyota entered the American pickup market back in the 1960s, at a time when Chevrolet’s C/K and Ford’s F-Series were just beginning to show what assets they can be for their respective companies. The Japanese company sold just four trucks in their first year on the market, but steadily grew to the hundreds of thousands it presently moves.
The carmaker’s trucks of old remain very sought-after on the pre-owned market, and proof of that are the countless opportunities to get your hands on one. They’re not as expensive as their American-made counterparts but could prove to be quite the acquisition if the right one is found.
And we believe this one here might be just that. Born in 1980, this example is a long bed mounted on 15-inch wheels, and comes with just the right amount of changes to make it particularly appealing.
On the outside, the truck sports a beige color with a set of tri-color accents running on both doors. It comes with a ball hitch integrated into the rear bumper and aftermarket lights on the front one. The bed and rails have been restored, and the interior has been trimmed in textured cloth.
Under the hood, there is the stock 2.2-liter 20R inline-four engine, paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case.
With 79,000 miles (127,000 km) on the clock, the truck is offered on Bring a Trailer with service receipts, original sales paperwork, and a clean California title. At the time of writing, the highest bid sits at just $13,250, and the process is scheduled to end in one day’s time.
