hello again, looking at another frame on an 04 tundra im looking at. only 121k miles and frame was replaced in 2023 and lower ball joints were also done recently. seller is asking 9600 (i want to talk him down to 8something ideally). this video was sent by the seller and it looks good other than a spot at 1:42 that im not sure if i should be concerned about. thanks!!

edit: located in northeast us/upstate ny

edit 2: was chatting with the seller and he said 4x4 doesn’t engage/check engine light is on/sunroof doesn’t work and there’s an exhaust manifold leak so i am probably passing on it :/

been looking for a new vehicle and have been looking at toyota trucks. ive read that 2010-2015 is the sweet spot for tacomas but are there any years that i should try to avoid? found a blog post that said 06, 09 and a few other years were more prone to have issues but not sure if i should take it as gospel. figured i would come here to get some input. thanks!

hello i am making another one of these posts. test drove an 06 tundra ac with 186k on it. upstate ny so rust on frame but i knocked on it in a few spots with the butt of my knife and it felt solid. only issues mentioned were windshield crack and something with a rear solenoid but the seller said he could fix those. seller asking $7800.

looked at an 06 v8 with roughly 150k miles on it. shop selling it for just under 10k. wanted to inspect the frame in person and there was a decent amount of rust on it. we’re in ny so some is to be expected but i want to know if this is a good deal or not.

test drove a 2002 tundra v8 today and looking to get some advice. priced at $6.9k, 182k miles. in decent condition other than non-functioning ac. it’s in upstate ny so there’s a little bit of rust on the frame from road salt but it seemed to be in good condition. ive read that ball joints can be a problem on older toyotas but the guy i talked to said they were in good condition.

is this a good deal? im interested but the ac has me concerned and idk how much it’ll cost to get that up and running. a few pics attached.
