1994 CLEAN Toyota extra cab, automatic, V6

Looking to see the value for very very clean, no rust Toyota Extracab with 119K miles. Automatic, V6. Brand new tires. No issues.

Feel free to let me know more about this truck if anyone has one. This will be my first Toyota but worried since it is very old.

thanks!

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld
A invisible Tacoma is priceless

 

3k

A 1994 means the 3.0; not that it's a bad engine really, but it's a complete dog compared to the 3.4 in the Tacoma.

 

3.0 I wouldn’t buy, most guys steer clear of that motor, but I see similar trucks go for about 5k around me

 

Are we talking about a Toyota Pickup? Because Tacomas weren't around until 1995.5, before then they were just 'Pickups'. Different suspension and engines.

The v6 from those was the 3.0l which is probably one of the worst engines in Toyotas lineup. Notorious head gasket issues and way underpowered. Hardly better numbers than the 22re 4cyl from then, which would be more desirable imo. Much more reliable

A 3.4l v6 would be a relatively easy swap into it though

That's not an opinion man. That's fact. They don't call it the 3.slow for nothing. lol

Yeah it seems every one of those you hear of too is either being sold with a bad HG or has had a history of HG repairs. Something about the exhaust manifold being too close to the head and the gasket gets cooked easily or something. But even if it were a fixable issue, the crap numbers it puts out wouldn't be worth it.

Would rather have a 22re with it's reliability and ease to work on. Or 3.4 swap it

 

Some weird quote action going on in that reply lol

 

Yep. The 3.4L swap is pretty much plug and play with all the kits available. What was really funny is @Kwikvette saying the 3.0L was a dog compared to the 3.4L. You know, because the 3.4L is itself a dog. lol

 

3.0 If you pay me $ 4,000.00 I will remove it.

 

Aren't the pre-Tacoma Pickups torsion bar IFS setups too? With less aftermarket support

 

Correct!!

 

Thanks all for the feedback. Slight typo: 119K miles. But I think I have a gist for this truck. Was looking for a Tacoma and might continue my search as such.

 

OP's name is Peter Parker too lol

 

After 1985.

 

OP's like

 

For Tacomas be sure to search for 1995.5 - 2004 (for 1st generation). Anything prior to that will be a Pickup.

Nothing negative really about either engine for the Tacoma, 4cyl or v6. Personally, I'd look for a manual trans either way but especially for the 4cyl.
