I want to get a toyota truck for winter. And I want to gather as much information on the types, years and different models of this trucks. Does anyone know of any websites that could help me with this problem?
I have know idea about toyota trucks. I want to know from the first toyota truck to the last toyota truck. I want to know the pros and cons of them.
But im leaning more towards the older version of the toyota trucks. Can't tell what yers because im not sure. And I can't tell you what models because I don't know.

Im dump, dump when it comes to this trucks. I was looking at this style of truck also because I own a 86 toyota corolla gts. And it would be nice to drive toyota during summer and winter.

Thanx for your help
