2007 4.0L value Longevity

I have the opportunity to buy a 2007 4wd access cab tacoma. It is an automatic v6 with 198k miles on it. It is in fair condition nothing special. It is a TX truck so no rust issues. What would a truck like this be worth and more importantly how many miles can you get out of these trucks. Really just wanting to use it for a hunting and running around town truck. thanks

 

The early '05-'06 4.0's had a few cases with blown head gaskets. So you should be in clear on that. The 1GR is generally pretty robust. Do you have any idea of it's service history?

 

There is a guy here selling his 2007 with 235,000 miles on it, excellent shape the ad says, he's seeking $8500 - 4x4 AC

I just bought a 2007 v6 auto quad cab with 188,000 original owner non smoker for 9500.00. The guy said he had never done anything but change the oil. I am going over it this weekend. Tires were bald and it has the abs light on. I saw two torn boots on each half shaft.

There is a 2005 quad cab in Arkansas Craigslist that has 132,000 v6 auto for 12,500. It's that bright blue nice looking truck but not my color. Best deal I have seen personally

 

As already mentioned, an 07 should put you in the clear of the 05-06 head gasket issue. Only other thing to look for would be a leaking timing chain cover, usually down near the power steering pump.

 

Have a trusted mechanic take a look under the hood.

 

This.

How long a truck lasts depends on how it was cared for.

 

I have an 05 DCSB 4.0L TRD OR 145k miles. I bought new with 3 miles on it. No issues with engine.
Never had a blown head gasket as mentioned in previous posts.
