The toyota's name is "Truck"
Its kids get in the "Truck"
Ballyhoo "truck" (hes the dog)
Ill get my bag from the "truck'
Where the hell did I park the "Truck"
It seems to like it.
Actually this is my second one - I had the first one (an 1988 purchased in
91) untill its odometer read 150+K miles.
Other than an oil leak - I had no problems with this vehicle - it towed
great - handled well - was great in the snow and mud. I guess thats why I
got the second one in '97.

Scott,
My preference is to use vehicles that are easily maintained in rural Texas.
This precludes those cars and trucks that have extensive electrical systems
for engine control. With a Subaru, Nissan and Silverado I have had failures
which if just points, plugs, condenser, coil, etc., were involved a fix
would
have been quick and easy but with the need for electronic bits, not
available
except from the dealer, I was stuck. Cars operate in a very primitive
envioroment and it seems to me to be a poor place for using high tech. I
like the easy maintenance of cars and trucks where the engine bay is open
and
there is not much extraneous plumbing. A friend wants some help on his
Tacoma and looking at the engine bay layout my assumption is that it will
not
survive as a farm truck. This is not to say that it is probobly very
compfortable but my '55 is more my technology and eaisly pulls the trailer
when loaded with hay plus I suppose that I already have it and it was left
to
me in '80 by my late father in law, who was a cowboy up on the Red River.
Jacob, the truck, could easily win the ugly truck contest at Luckenbach
cause
in his early life, on Friday and Saturday nights, spent more time in bar
ditches that on the road. Of course 21 mpg is better than 20 mpg, but might
bet that Jacob is still in my family and running longer than the Toyota is
in
yours. What is the Toyota's name?
