Today, we're talking about the legendary 1986 Toyota pickup truck, a vehicle known for its unyielding reliability and straightforward design. This truck, currently up for auction on Cars and Bids with no Reserve by Coinbase, embodies the essence of old-school toughness that modern trucks often lack. The Toyota pickup, or "Hux" as it's known overseas, boasts a robust 22R 4-cylinder engine renowned for its durability and simplicity. This powertrain, though not particularly potent by today's standards, gets the job done without any fuss, making it a favorite among those who value function over flash.
Stepping inside, you're greeted by a no-frills interior featuring manual windows, locks, and a lack of modern amenities like air conditioning or a tachometer. The basic yet practical design extends to the bed of the truck, which offers minimal features beyond its primary function. Despite its simplicity, the Toyota pickup does come with a few aftermarket upgrades like chrome hooks and American Racing Wheels, adding a touch of flair to its utilitarian nature. The exterior proudly displays the iconic "Toyota" lettering on the bed, a hallmark of these classic trucks that's sure to evoke nostalgia among fans of the brand.
Behind the wheel, the old-school Toyota truck delivers a driving experience that's all about functionality over comfort. While it may not offer the plush amenities found in modern vehicles, it stays true to its roots as a no-nonsense workhorse. The shared DNA with newer Toyota models like the Tacoma is evident, highlighting the brand's commitment to practicality and reliability. In a world where trucks are increasingly seen as lifestyle vehicles, the 1986 Toyota pickup remains a steadfast reminder of a time when simplicity and durability were the ultimate hallmarks of a quality vehicle.
