Used to drive one. It is fairly bad-ass. Too bad it came, just as the US market is in its saddest time. The main reason why T100 trucks didn't sold well because by the time of its release in the market, US dollars is depreciating and the economy is down. Hopefully, Toyota should revive this truck.

Hey everyone i see some of you have had a T100 in the past but being only 18 I currently have one! Its a 1997 Toyota T100 3.4 liter V6 2-door black and gray 6-foot bed pickup. It currently has 227,000 miles on it and is running strong. While the gas is a hassle, it is bareable with just regular maintenance and only city driving doesn't do too bad! I have 15 inch American Racing rims on it with some beefy tires and the thicker tire really gives it a mean stance! I also have just replaced the air filter which is supposedly a key component to better gas mileage! Today I put in new Sylvania ultra bright headlight bulbs and bought a 3M headlight restoration kit for $30 and the headlights look BRAND NEW! I also have heard that the Air conditioning system in these wasn't too great... and it really isn't. I recently went to an AutoZone and purchased a trigger can of A/C PRO, which is a refridgerant recharger for any vehicle! also a quick job if you follow the instructions carefully. I now have ICE cold A/C! i Will be posting pictures within the next couple days if theres any request pictures you would like please post them here and I will do my best to get your shot!

I flip cars for a side business, the T100 has never been a great seller, the few 3.0 propelled models I've had sat for months, I can get rid of a 3.4 motivated model a little easier but truthfully the last few I've had that were low mileage were bought by people planning on pulling the engine to swap into a 3.0 powered 4 runner or truck or to replace a blown 3.4. They just never gained the reputation the rest of the Toyota trucks have.
hey boxerboy
I guess at 18 you didn't have much money to spend on another truck. This is my second T-100 and if you put some money and time into it, you can bring that truck back to life. My truck has 140,000 miles and keep on going. You can buy after market parts to. Last summer i put on a new chrome grill and new headlights. I also did a timing belt, oil and water pump, new cat and muffler. This truck runs real clean, no smoking or oil leaks. I think you'll be fine. I put alot into my truck. recently guy on the street offered me cash for it. I wish i had a truck like this when i was your age.Good luck with it. Drop me a PM if you need more info.

hey man, i bought a light bar from the junk yard off of a 1993 toyota pick up and it fits perfect with 3 light mounts. im gonna install 2 more and lift my truck 3 inches as i heard that is the maximum lift without having to change over driveshafts and gear ratios and extend your steering column. id also love to get a push bar (brush guard) but theyre so damn expensive!!! headlight bulb replacements are also a great idea, as i recently restored mine and replaced the bulbs with the brightest street legal bulbs i could buy! lemme know if you got any good ideas!!!???

Truck yeah!
thanks man! i really appreciate the reply. where did you get the new chrome grille??? i asked my local toyota dealer and they wanted $400 for a factory new one. I also want to do a custom exhaust but not sure if i should go full or cat back? and i also want a lift, nothing crazy but i hear 3 inches is good? any advice?

I bought all after market parts for my truck. No lift here! Toyota wants way to much money. I got the grill on ebay from a place in texas. I paid $160 for the chrome grill and it fit fine. Also if you buy a grill it dosen't come with any clips. They hold it to the frame. I bought all new clips and new toyota emblem. Alot better then 4 or 5 hundred bucks. I got all new cat and muffler and pipes, and it was costly. The cat was like $800 bucks with installation alone. I found a cheaper place but it was to far away from me. In a year and a half i spent like $6000 on my truck.
Sad to say that my Uncle T100 already sold two months ago.
