Out here (Wyoming), the old Toyotas are regarded as a very good truck, if not the best.
The farmers out here have a small truck for all of their irrigators. A lot of the trucks are in a similar condition to this:
These trucks will receive basically no maintenance, will frequently run different sized tires, and some have even braved a few collisions.
The Toyota's last the longest. I know of a blue 1988 Toyota that had over 300,000 miles on it- six years ago. It's still in use. It sounds awful, and looks like it's done for, but it just keeps going.
I can't comment to the parts availability, but I can tell you that most farmers don't seem to need parts to keep them going. The Rangers, S10/Sonomas, Dakotas, Mazdas, Nissans,... They never last as long as the Toyotas do.
That being said, we've never owned a Toyota. Out here, there is a HUGE price premium for them. I can easily buy two or even three F150s/Chevy 1500s for the price of one Toyota. But, if you can find one of them at a good price, they are usually a very, very good truck.
Watch out for rust, though. A lot of the Toyota trucks used a boxed frame that rusts from the inside-out. I don't know if the Hilux did or not, but it's something you'll want to check.
