My first vehicle was a 1983 Toyota truck that I got in 1985, my senior year of high school.

It was a red short bed 2WD with a 4 speed manual transmission and a bench seat. That little 22R 4 banger engine was indestructible. I loved that truck. I lowered in, much to my Dad's chagrin, and put wide wheels and tires.

I put over 200K miles on it before giving it to my little brother. He put another 100K on it. The body was rusted to shite, but the engine was, inevitable.

So, that's my vote. I'd love to get that truck back.

When I was 16 I wanted one of these so bad. Our neighbor let a friend park a green one that looked just like this at the end of his driveway to sell and I sure thought my parents were going to buy it.



Spoiler alert they did not.







It’s not all bad, I did get a brand new 4WD Ranger like a year later.
