Road Trip to “Vala-ala-ba-ma”: My New Toyota Pickup
I hit the road with my buddy Dan to chase down a truck that’s been on my radar for a while-a 1991 Toyota Pickup. After scouring Facebook Marketplace, I finally found the right one just over the state line in Valley, Alabama. This pickup has a rebuilt engine, a solid interior, and all the potential for a fun restoration project. I’ll walk you through its condition, my plans to customize it, and why this classic Toyota is such a great find. Let’s see what this gem can become!

I could see his point if the price was just a 3rd higher but the price was almost 50% higher. I bought the evolution. Sorry I’m not spending 20K for a golf cart. I just purchased a Lexus 2014 is350 for 20K for my son. That made sense. But not 20K for a golf cart. The evolution has been awesome.

      I've had my Evolution for three years with no problems, fit and finish is a good as my last three carts ( club car, EZGo and Yamaha ) Like you I'm not about to pay 20+k on a cart that I'm like you I'm not going to keep longer than five years. My insurance provider would like it if I did. People say ya get what ya pay for, but I never got that chance with my last club car as it was in the shop for repairs more often then it was out on the street. One more thing, I've been watching youtube videos of technicians putting after market parts on these carts. Disassembly is required, and I have heard the techs saying these carts are well built . Good fit and finish on parts and high quality steel.

      $20,000 must buy a really nice Club Car. We bought a new 2025 Club Car 4-seat Onward Lifted this past Wednesday. It has the standard seats, standard batteries (because we don't need extended range and the island has no hills), standard folding windshield, long canopy with grab handles, side mirrors, and the rear seat even folds out to a cargo platform. Oh, and the standard Mercury wheels and Kraken tires. They were having a $1500 off sale on the 2025's and gave me another 1% off for not putting it on a credit card. With state tax and free delivery over 70 miles away it came to $12,050. Iirc, the lithium battery option would have added around $3k.
