Common problems and easy repairs on a 1996 T100

The 1996 Toyota T100 SR5 is an extremely easy truck to maintain. Accessing the headlight is easy, as you only have to reach behind the housing for access. Removing the battery bracket is simple. This will allow you to change your battery easily, a process some vehicles make much more complicated. The air filter is easy to replace on this car. Other models will make this filter tougher to pull out, so it’s a nice touch that you only need to remove a few fasteners for access.

Some things on the 1996 Toyota T100 SR5 are slightly more difficult to repair. Checking the transmission fluid level can be tough, as the transmission dipstick is located in a tough to access spot in the engine bay. Putting in a child seat can be rather difficult to do, as the process for securing the seat is not very straightforward. While it is nice to be able to check the power steering fluid level, the reservoir itself is located in a tough to reach spot in the engine bay.
