I had the same experience with a 1992 Toyota pickup truck. The thing was a tank, and had over 300,000 miles on it, and it was still running perfectly fine when I sold it for cheap.

Top Gear even had an episode where they tried pretty hard to destroy a mid 80s Toyota Hilux pickup truck. So, I think that they were pretty reliable in the 80s and 90s, too. At the very least the trucks were.

I still see a lot of old corollas, 4runners, and Toyota pickup trucks on the road in my area, too.

I was going to point out those two top gear episodes, but that just seemed like cheating lol
