This was my daily driver for about a year and a half. Access cab, 4 cylinder, 4 wheel drive, with a 5 speed manual. Everything works as it should, and there are no fluid leaks. The engine runs excellent and does not burn any oil. Clutch action is good with no grabbing or slipping. Features include AC and a CD player, sliding rear window (one of my favorite features) with OEM dark tinted glass, trailer hitch (drawbar/ball not included) and wiring plug for trailer lights.I've owned 3 Tacomas, and they have all been very dependable workhorses. It has been extremely reliable during the time I've owned it. Prior to buying it, I had Toyota dealer replace the front sway bar linkages on both sides e and had them install two new rear shocks. Since then, I have had no breakdowns or problems to fix. I change the oil about every 5,000 miles and use Mobil1 Synthetic only. Just the routine maintenance, wash it, and drive it... it is a Toyota after all. My previous Tacoma, a 1996, was 18 years old with over 200k and still going strong when I finally sold it prior to buying this one! I have not driven the truck off road much... just some dirt farm lanes when I cut firewood. No mud bogging, stream crossings or hill climbs, though these trucks are certainly capable and tolerant of that kind of use. As mentioned, all systems work as they should, including the 4 wheel drive (hi and lo range) with automatic locking hubs. I mainly used the 4 wheel drive for driving in the snow, rather than off road use. I have a copy of the Carfax report that I can send to you as a PDF if you are interested. There were no accidents/thefts/flood damage reported by me or previous owner. Very fuel efficient truck for its size. This generation Tacoma is larger than the previous generation, but has better power thanks to variable valve timing 2.7 liter engine and gets better gas mileage to boot. I've gotten as high as 24 mpg highway and never lower than 19 mpg in the city. On my back road and city commute, I average 21 mpg. There aren't many 4wd trucks that get that kind of gas mileage! Overall, the exterior and interior are in nice shape. I recently had the truck professionally detailed/waxed/polished to remove light scratches in the clearcoat, so the paint looks better than ever. The pictures tell the story. There are no major dents or scratches in the paint, and I have never been in an accident. As mentioned, the CARFAX report states there were no accidents reported by the previous owner. As far as issues, there are a few... The tires getting close to needing to be replaced. They pass inspection, but are nearing the end of their service life. If the buyer is interested and the price is right, we can work on swapping the Goodyear tires from my new truck that have about 75% tread life left, as I plan to get all-terrain tires. There are some scratches on the plastic front bumper, but no cracks or creases/dents. There are light scratches on the black plastic passenger side rear fender flair (just on the plastic, the paint is fine). There is a small (dime sized) ding in the tailgate. There is an intermittent noise that sounds like a squeaky serpentine belt... it has been noisy off and on, so it has not yet been addressed. It is due for an oil change. Any questions, please ask, I'd be happy to answer them. I welcome and encourage any potential buyers to see the truck in person and to test drive it to assess the condition of the vehicle for yourself.
