I still have a 1987 Mighty Max I bought used in 1988. Great little truck that has only seen limited use since 1993.

For a period of years, that thing ate AutoZone alternators. Good thing they had a lifetime warranty. I would only drive that truck about once every month or so and the alternators would die about every year. Got to the point I kept a dedicated ratchet and socket in the truck to change them out in AutoZone's parking lot. I probably changed them 5 times. Luckily, the one that is in there now has been going strong for quite a while.
