    Hi Guys! I've been lurking the forum for a few weeks researching these Tacomas. I just sold my 01 Dodge 2500 and I'm looking for something a little less "heavy duty" I figured an 07+ Double Cab Tacoma 4X4 would foot the bill just fine. Let me know if you guys run across a good deal!

    Welcome Matt! You are almost better off just buying a new one the way you want it. Interest rates are way better on a new vehicle, and the availability of good used 07+ is not that great. I thought about buying a use one, but then I did the math on a new one and my payment was right about the same. I am also the only one to ever fart in the seat. That is worth something.
