North America quickly built a reputation for durability, loyalty
and reliability. This example is a dry, Arizona truck that was
lovingly owned and cared for by a single family that spent its life
in the Tucson area and only has 49,000 actual miles. The second
family purchased the truck in 2017 and had Dean Laumbach Consulting
oversee a cosmetic refresh, including new seat covers and
carpeting, the installation of a roll bar and auxiliary lighting,
detailing of the engine/undercarriage/paint, paintless dent
removal, and more! This Toyota is now recently refreshed and well
sorted for the next owner to fully enjoy. Built in Japan in July
1988, this truck?s first day of use was reported as October 6,
1988. Dressed in white (code 033) with a factory tape package, the
truck?s paint and trim are in overall very good order with some
minor blemishes. The truck?s body is straight and solid, the engine
bay is extremely tidy, the 75-inch cargo bed is clean and looks
good with the new bed liner, and the chrome bumpers are in very
good order. Passenger sideview mirror, rollbar and KC Hilites added
within past three years. This truck rolls on Forceum ATZ light
truck tires, size 235/75R15 at every corner. Each tire is mounted
on factory steel wheels with manual front hubs. The wheels and
tires are all in very good shape. Under the hood is Toyota?s
new-for-1988 optional 3L SOHC V-6 engine with electronic fuel
injection (code 3VZ-E). As the motor?s dance partner is a
five-speed manual transmission with a two-speed transfer case. The
most recent service in April 2017 included an oil change, coolant
flush, new valve cover seals. Earlier maintenance includes a new
clutch slave cylinder installed in August 2016; front brakes and
drive belts in May 2010; and head gaskets and exhaust from the
catalytic converter rearward in October 2006. Driver convenience
features include air-conditioning and tilt steering column. Inside,
the gray cloth-and-vinyl interior (code HD11) has been
reupholstered in correct vinyl. The bench seat with fold-down
center armrest looks great, as does the contrasting black carpet.
The gray headliner is in good, original shape and the two-spoke
steering wheel looks great with its twin ancillary stalks jutting
from either side of the steering column. The gray dashboard has a
couple of cracks in the top at the passenger side while the inner
door liners are in very good shape. The floor-mounted gearshift and
transfer case levers look good. A factory AM/FM stereo with CD
player rounds out the interior. The next redesign, in 1988,
introduced a longer-wheelbase option, 122 inches rather than 103
inches for the regular wheelbase. Its one-piece cargo-box walls
eliminated the seams that were found in earlier models. In North
America, the Hilux continued to be sold simply as the ?Toyota
Pickup.? The cargo capacity was and 1,400 pounds for four-wheel
drive models. GVWRs ranged from 2,565 to 5,350 pounds.
Documentation includes original owner?s manual, service receipts,
KC Hilites brochure. Competition to this Hilux in 1988 included
four-wheel drive versions of Chevrolet?s S-10, Dodge?s D50 Ram,
Ford?s Ranger, GMC?s S-15, Mitsubishi?s Mighty Max and Nissan?s
new-for-?88 Hardbody. If you?re after a weekend 4x4 truck or maybe
a third vehicle for your family, this Toyota Hilux is worth a look.
