I was thinking about buying this truck today. He says it has 83k miles but I don't think that's true only because these cars came with a 5 digit gauge so it could have rolled over but going based off of the way the body looks and how clean it is I think it's a cool truck. It's owned by a 60 year old gentleman.
Anyone ever owned one or recommend these trucks? Reliable? Gas mileage? It's a 1976 toyota pickup or "hilux" I was trying to make it my daily driver to get to school and work instead of putting so many miles on the mustang.

Get a carfax, that should tell you smog checks, registrations and mileage when the smog was done. Looking at that engine, looks like only 85k miles. Pretty clean in there.

Best body style toyota ever made... nice find. If it's not 83k it's probably 183k which is still low miles for the most part.

Carfax only works with car with 17 digit vin tags an I believe they only go make to 1981.

I would pick it up if I was looking for one. Good old trucks. Bullet proof engines as they use to call them.
