I owned a 1994 Skoda pickup truck and put a shell on the back with bench seats. It was great for taking my bicycle places. Unfortunately, the truck was very slow, but on the positive side, it got around 30 mpg. The truck died at 174 km (108K miles, with a badly worn crankshaft. The Skoda crankshafts wore out soon because they were not made of hardened steel, and consequently all Skodas had short lifespans, at least before VW bought the company.

1. 3 is skoda 1. 6 & 1. 9d is VW. Easy to reapair if it breaks at all. Car was rated B+ so if you drive one you have to get C car next not to complain too much. 1. 3 was avaiable with carburator, later with SPI and finally MPI (simos from siemens. Nice thinkg is that it calibrates itself after you replace parts. you dont have to do diag, just replace & drive. Parts are cheap and still easily avaiable.

I remember they came out with a special edition called Skoda Felicia Fun it had retractable seats in the bed. so it was a half convertible that was the cool one. Just if anyone wants to check it out. Most of these (the ones from this video) pickups came with a box on the back, like most of european pickups - it looks cool with the box taken off though, gotta admit.

This is hilarious to find on Scottys channel Clearly none of his customers have brought him Skodas. I learned to drive in a 1980s Skoda sedan. What a piece of crap Constantly breaking down and the most gutless car ever. Even worse than a Lada. Steered better than the Lada though. Skoda is not a car that Scotty would ever recommend.

Reminds me of my 80s Ford Courier, fun to drive with manual, but would not feel safe in US, with Suvs and cellphones on the road. In Ems, a scratch on rear Explorer bumper meant guy in Fiesta had two broken knees and a trip to the hospital and much therapy to recover. Never felt safe in old small cars after that. But nice example of vehicle.

I think its a cool looking car. I almost bought one as my first car. That one ran on LPG, which was cheaper and a little better for the environment. But in the Netherlands there are rules which make you pay more taxes if you dont drive enhough kilometers with LPG. Not so good for the environment I say.

When it comes to pickup truck no one is more experienced that Iranian car factory maker they make truck from every thing from L90, from Peykan even from Pride(so called carriage of death in my country) I personally saw one Pride pickup truck cut in half. so in my opinion Skoda Pickup truck is just fine.

You should flip the nob on the steeringwheel so it sits on the inside, it is better for safety when your steering wheel unwinds after going around corners. I see this often that it is mounted to the outside of the steering wheel instead of the inside. Try it and you wont regret. All the best.

Wow. Malta looks like a beautiful country. We had alot of those Scoda pick ups and hatchbacks here in Trinidad and Tobago back in the early 2000s, most of which are off the roads now due to a lack of affordable and reliable replacement parts in our stores.
