New Guy Saying Hello

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I stumbled upon this site via search engine. I'm eager to learn a lot. I currently am in the market for a late 80's early 90's Toyota pickup. I want a reliable tough truck, and all signs pointed me to toyotas. I will be sure to read around a lot, and yes I know how to use the search function.

If anyone has any really useful directions to point me in, I would be much obliged. What is fair market value for one of these vehicles? I'm hoping I can find a nice truck for $5k or under. Thanks in advance!

You came to the right place. I was new just a few weeks ago and these guys answered all my questions and I learned a ton of stuff just by reading and searching.

Out of curiousity, I've found a couple T100's in the 6k range. Are they good trucks, or would I be better suited with a regular pickup?

My main uses for the truck will be daily driving, and toting my ATV around (Brute Force 750) I won't be wheeling with it much since I have my ATV for that. But I would like something that is capable if needed. I want good gas mileage obviously as well.
