The Toyotas of the 80s and 90s seem to be well made but I won't ever drive another Toyota after owning a 1st gen Tundra--what a piece of garbage from grille to tailgate. There were at least 5 points where water would pour in to the extent that even trying to quickly wash the vehicle resulted in massive amounts of water in the cab, and none of the fixes were going to be easy. Almost every 1st gen owner I've spoken to had water leaks somewhere in the cab--no acceptable excuse for that failure from Toyota. Water would get behind the glovebox and reach some computer component where I would then find the fuel pump just running randomly--had to disconnect the battery cables when truck wasn't in use. You have to remove the exhaust or intake manifold to change the starter, tons of rattles and squeaks, less leg room in a king cab configuration than an '86 regular cab 'Yota with bench seat, and it's still not a full size truck despite what Toyota may claim. My '92 F250/F350 has ten times the build quality of a 2003 Tundra 4x4, but again, I do think the 80s and 90s small Toyotas were pretty well made for what they are.
