That dodge is rough but I agree on the rest. Super all cool in their own way. The taco, s10 and Isuzu look legit nice.

My old man (RIP) had that little shitbox mitsu for a couple years, some of my earliest memories are watching him roll thru the 4 speed otw somewhere.

I bought a 95 hardbody like this brand new, 4 cylinder, 5 speed manual for 9500 buks. Drove it 19 straight hours from deals gap to BR. Adrian Peterson couldn’t beat the shite out of that truck. Awesome truck

I feel like the Mazda is the darkhorse pick.

The S10 does NOT look like shite.


A buddy of mine had one of approximately that vintage with the 2.8L v6. He had a hard time keeping rear tires on it....

The Isuzu pup with a diesel was a fun one. It didn’t really do anything good except get 45 mpg.

The sneaky good competition was Mitsubishi although Nissan was admittedly in second position.

As long as the apocalypse occurs in Arizona. I'll be the Debbie Downer and point out I can smell the rust from here. Particularly, the Japanese trucks from that era had bad rust issues, the Toyotas' frames had a habit of rusting from the inside out between the fuel tank X-member and the center X-member.
