Looking at used Gen 3 tacomas

Then can go farther than that, most third gens aren't old enough the have extremely high miles but some are in the 200 to 250k range.

 

Pretty sure they make those tires in pizza cutters size 16” and 17” rim.

I actually really wanted cooper STT pro but no 3 peak snowflake.

 

What's your price range? I would be leery of one with 80-100k+ miles on it.

 

Well IMHO it all depends on how it was driven and the maintenance that was done on it.

My 2007 ranger drove like new at 165k miles. 1 starter, 2 thermostat housings, AIC valve, TB, brakes, plugs, wires and just basic maintenance. I expect my taco to double that easily.

 

Sounds like it’s a spacer lift. Just a metal spacer on top of the strut. I had that on my Tacoma, and it was ok. Not great. easily removable.

Gen 3 and still kind of young. There are some that made it to 200k. And then there are those odd balls that blew their engines at 150k multiple examples.

 

There were quite a few that had cracked cylinder walls/burnt exhaust valves at less than 40k

 

Don’t buy used with the prices being what they are. Get a new one and have the peace of mind that you know how it is maintained.

 

Mine has had a lot of issues I didn't expect and none were from maintenance, doubt I would buy another without an extended warranty.

 

What were the issues you had?

 

Curious as well

I have the same year and model (maybe not all the specs) and I’ve had zero issues

Edit: mines also not super white which has its own problems but my 17 tundra paint is perfect

 

How many miles?

 

53k

 

got 101k on my 2016 superwhite, doesn't even have paint issues yet.

 

Well I had the white paint peeling issue, the rear diff issue, the third brake light letting water in the cab, front diff needle bearing made noise, it looks like the timing cover leak is happening as well. Toyota repainted the fenders but everything else has been on my dime. 75k miles.

 

Not bad not bad.

I’m at 40k now hah. Also had zero mechanical issues. Well a few recalls, fuel pump, TSS sensor and squeaky clutch pedal. None affected how the truck drove.

 

Third brake light had a recall, no way you should have payed for that.

 

Damn that’s pretty shitty for a Toyota. I don’t blame you.

Even my 2007 Ford had less issues when I sold it at 165k miles.

 

Yeah.

I’ve always been a multiple vehicle person. When I bought my Tacoma I had my Harley and a Mitsubishi Endeavor (from previous marriage)
Just like having options and a back up if anything ever happened to one.

 

fly to SC and buy mine.
2021 DCSB TRD OR 6mt w/25k miles & new BFG mt's.
It's posted here in the classifieds.
No matter where you find one tacoma is a good choice if you want a dependable, reasonably trail capable rig out of the box

 

Nice, wish I had money and space for 2 vehicles.

Luckily I’m provided a company van 5 days a week. Really helps me out. Kind of shitty that my truck sits outside at works parking lot 5 days a week but whatever.
