FAQ’s
Where did the truck come from?
Truck was originally sold by Funk’s Toyota in Steinbach, MB. & has been registered ever since in Manitoba. I am the third owner since it was new and I have owned it for over 20 years. The previous owner had it for 11 years & the original owner had it before that since it was brand new.

Re: the low original mileage.
Was not a daily driver. My neighbour (PO) only used it for fishing expeditions to haul his boat and motor (14 ft. aluminum with a 10hp outboard) around Manitoba & Northwest Ontario & even then only used 4 wheel drive when he was launching or picking up his boat. I’ve only used it for playing at the cottage during the summer. It has been garage stored over the winter for over 20 years.
