    Bought it from a friend who took impeccable care of it. It’s a 2009 TRD Access cab w/ 6 ft bed. Paint is flawless, very low miles & all maintenance done at Toyota. Ran a Carfax & there’s 5 pages of service! I’ve had trucks before but not a Toyota. I’m retired, I was done building hot rods for me so I wanted a truck for shooting & fishing. Should fill the bill.

    Trucks are so much nicer for the outdoorsman, that's for certain.

    Decoys, blinds, stands, rods, coolers, tents. It'll carry it all and there are a ton of modifications that can be done to fill that void of building hot rods.
    Congrats
