Didn't care for the 80s yotas. Early 90s was my favorite generation for style and balance of luxury/functionality.

Still, 3rd gens are better than the old trucks in almost every way.

 

@Shades_Of_Red, Where can I get a shirt like that?
I cannot watch the video right now, so I don't know if it was mentioned.

I had an 81, single cab, 5 speed.no AC. Good transportation, lousy comfort. I knew I had it made when I upgraded to a 89 V6 long bed with AC.

 

Had an '85 longbed standard cab 4-cyl 5-speed for 30 years. Sold it with 283K on the original clutch, only engine work was to adjust the valves, replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter, once.

Wish I had bought the ExtraCab, and wish I had bought two.

 

Shitty bench seat, no room single cab, 110hp, loud as hell, silly high school rims, but it has a solid axle.
