    That's going to be tough to find, but i'm sure you've already realized that, and you probably can't be picky on color when you're already asking for a miracle lol. I just did a 500 mile radius search on KBB from my area (central TX) and only turned up 4 vehicles meeting your criteria (under $25k with low mileage).

    This was the best of the bunch, but itll be over $25k with ttl:

    I'll update if I find anything else.

    Absolutely doable. You'll just have to be vigilant. I just searched locally so that's not representative of all that's out there. They sell more 4x4s up north where they get ice and snow so that's an area to consider too since you're willing to travel. The guy above me says he found 130, so they're out there!

    These Tacos hold their value so well it's tough finding a good deal. I got $22k back for my 07 that I had for 6 years and that was only 2wd.

    for a while i was only looking at 4x4 trucks, but then when i saw the price difference i went with a prerunner and haven't really regretted it, i like riding on trails, but no serious offroading, where are you in FL?

    I've got the prerunner with a locker. The TRD O/R. it works really good but there is really no substitute for 4wd/ I based my purchase around price.

    someone will describe the rear differential locker better, but the o/r is the trd offroad package, there is pretty much these trim lines for the 6 lug tacoma (applies to prerunner and 4x4)
