The 1989 Mazda B2200 extra cab was the first new vehicle I purchased as an adult. It was a nice little truck and fun to drive. Never had any trouble with it. My only regret was selling it when I thought I wanted a different vehicle.

I've had the yota, the Nissan, the Ford, and the s10.

Gimme the Nissan for driving. The yota for driving off-road.

You can keep the other two, they were kind of a headache.

Had an Isuzu that was great and sold it to a guy who smashed the front corner and I saw it in BR for about 10 years. Also, had a Gen 1 S10 extended cab and sold it after installing an LT. Kept the AC to and it was quite a sleeper.

Same. My first car was a little Nissan hardbody.

It outlasted my use and my dad took it when I upgraded. He drove it for another 10+ years and it didn't show any signs of dying. People would randomly offer him cash all the time to buy it. One day he finally took an offer probably around 2015 or so.

I still imagine that beauty trucking down the road today, packed with 2x4's and gas station burrito wrappers.

Back when people actually used pickup trucks for what they were meant for... Work.

Now it's a fashion symbol for people who make poor financial choices.

I would like to have all of them right now. The Mitsubishi would probably be last on my want list though, just because I think parts may be hard to find for it. Those were all great little trucks.
You can thank your government for making all of those great little type trucks unavailable now.

Used to see Booger McFarland driving around campus in his little red Isuzu pickup truck. His face alone looked like it filled 2/3 of the cab.

The Nissan looks like it could be a 2027 model. Sharp.

But Toyota as far as lasting 30 years with few issues.
