    None so far!
    Just picked up an 09 Tacoma Double Cab - base model with 150k miles from a little lot here in Colorado. Don't have any pics yet (it's been raining all day!) but I will post when I get them! We also have an 08 Camry Hybrid and 2013 Highlander - excited to finally have a Taco join the family after years of wanting one.

    It needs a few small things - aux input is broken and there were no floor mats and a weird after market alarm that was installed. Need to get a new key fob for sure. Other than that it's in great shape! Very excited!

    I was gonna cross post to get some advice but I guess I will just start here. I am taking the car into the shop on Monday to get a good once over - but what do you all recommend get done to it so I can start with a good baseline? I am going to do small things like air filter and such myself, but I am not very adept to car stuff just yet (plan to learn more with this truck for sure!) so I need the shop to help!

    Anything in particular I should be worried about with this year/model?

    Thanks in advance- if you can't tell, I'm super excited!

    Welcome to TW!

    I couldn't really help you with advice you don't already know, as it seems like you got a good baseline of a tune up. Make sure to get those rear diff oil change, though! I'm only assuming it hasn't been done for its 150k maintenance after coming from a small car lot. Be sure to check up on all the tips and tricks for the 2nd gen Tacos, to include theft deterrent mods! I wouldn't want you to experience losing your tailgate or spare tire
