    You're gonna have to get under the truck and check the frame. As much of it as you can.

    Looks pretty clean in the Pic...If its been in Tuscon, Don't really have to worry much about rust if it hasn't seen salty roads! But do your due diligence and take it to a Mechanic and have him/her go over everything!

    Bluebook: (Very good Condition) Private Party Value shows $10,500 to $12,500.
    Tacoma's hold their Value. Hit him Low, and work it up from there!:oldglory:Good Luck!

    Rust on a hitch would indicate rust on the frame. It may be surface only so inspect it well.

    My truck has a little rust on the hitch---none on the frame. I live in central FL --away from the beaches. Like the others have said---take a good look at the underside before you make the offer.

    I’d check dealerships in the area about that, last time I was there they wouldn’t do 05 or 06 trucks and anything over 160k miles

    lack of TRD Off-Road or TRD Sport might reduce price a bit
