    Well have not had a Toyota since my 94 SR5 X/Cab 4x4 was totaled several years ago. Should be in the Market shortly for a new truck. Will be looking at Double Cab. Mostly daily highway driving with occasional light off road duty. Any recommendations on what I should be looking for.

    Thanks

    Mine should be coming up for sale soon at Don Davis Ford. It had some nice upgrades such as front and rear plate bumpers, tire carrier, OME lift, winch and light bar. Garage kept and all that. 2010 with 70K miles.

    5.0. The eco have very mixed reviews so I played it safe. Plus a V8 sounds so good.

    Sorry, we tend to turn every post into a bs forum lol


    Are you buying new or used?
    You want 4x4 or prerunner?
    Those two are the main options really.

    East End near Friendswood. Probably prerunner might see some lite off road use. Have not decided on New or Used yet.
