That's semi cool,but it's the smallest 1 ton truck I've ever seen.
In reply to drock25too :
I'm wondering if they didn't understand the assignment and it's a truck that weighs one ton....
That may be what happened.
I wonder how rusty it is.

Good question.

I wonder too.
These are actually pretty popular and worth money too, especially the turbo diesel ones. Like......10 times the selling price at times
As reference, Toyota did a 1 ton thst size for campers and so on. All were dually. Some were actually sold with dually beds but those seem insanely rare. This looks like a common not even half ton, truck.

Definitely has some body damage. wonder what they are trying to hide with the primer.
I really like the idea that you guys are speculating about the condition- it's a $600 truck in 2023, the condition is most likely "should have been scrapped a LONG time ago."
I do still want it though.
It's entirely plausible that it's rated for 2000lbs capacity.
The VW T1/T2 buses with all of 45 HP where.

Lol because it might be drivable.

Slow day at work. Have to think about something. Lol
1 ton mini trucks are very common in Central America and the Caribbean (although that doesn't look like one).
They are usually crew cab short beds with really stout rear ends.
That almost sounds dirty...
Overbuilt rears?
Big Butts?
Never mind...

I had the same conversation when selling my Datsun 310GX as the battery needing charging when the guy showed up in 1987.
Dude, it's a $400 car.........

Also the shops building stake beds used them , many with extended frames
1 ton (on Toyota) = low gears. Pull a house, stay right lane? Maybe it's like Chevy's Heavy Half, 1/2 ton truck with 3/4 ton rear springs.

Nissan had one for a short time.
I'm pretty confident this is just a classic case of FB marketplace autocomplete/suggested model or conflating with the 1 ton Toyota trucks of the same era. The US market never got the first generation Mighty Max or D50 as a 1 ton configuration. That was only an option in the US for the second gen (87-95) and was a long bed, beefier rear end with deeper gears and stiffer springs.
Rust spots to check would be the floors, frame section behind the rear axle, the bottom of the front fender right in front of the doors and the bed seam that runs down the body line.
