I decided 15 yrs ago to become a bald nomad and needed a vehicle to tow a 7.2m euro caravan which I was in the process of buying. I researched what would be suitable in the 4 wheel drive Category and the Toyota 80 series stood out as a super reliable and capable vehicle especially the turbo diesel model After much research found a 1992 turbo diesel Sahara with 290,000kays and an impeccable service history, to some that would seem excessive kilometres but as history has proved the statement just run in is absolutely true and to top it off 15,000$ had just been spent on off-road gear, suspension, drawers bull bar,lights, Cb radio and a great stereo. I would say this has been the best vehicle I have ever owned and I have had a few being a car nut and 71yrs old. Over the years I have replaced most things that hang of the main mechanicals, alternator,radiator,batteries, rebuilt the turbo as a precaution and a new aircon compressor, the old girl is heading towards 600,000 kays and the motor is running as sweetly as when I bought it, rebuilt the injector pump and have done the injectors once. Some would say this would seem a lot of maintenance but any vehicle after 15yrs needs a lot of these things replaced and when you consider this vehicle has towed the caravan for 80,000k and done an awful lot of heavy duty off-road work and being the Sahara model is supremely comfortable and still marvel at how well it drives and handles, I am one happy camper and looking forward to the 1,000000k mark being reached, if I live that long !! I have thought about upgradiing to a later model cruiser and have a soft spot for a Lexus 470 with full Lexus service, which can be bought for a great price and A lot of them do not have huge mileage and have never towed anything more than a box trailer but the 80 is running so well and I have outfitted it with everything I need to live comfortably on the road, I think she will be with me until I go to the great camping ground in the sky.
