Buyer advice: problem to look for in gen 2s?

2014 DCSB with 72k... Pavement Princess, no issues in the 10 years I've owned it. She sits parked and covered and I DD a RAV4.

I would replace the secondary air intake pump filter as a "must do". The OEM filter can deteriorate and be ingested into the pump....$1500 or so.

Not worth $20 so shop around.

 

Damn Yota, that seems like a big oversight lol. Thanks for the tip

 

do you wheel much on the freeway at high speeds?

 

i want to do that BUT this 2o11 single cab with 97k miles i am looking after has NO cover over that pump like i have seen in some DIY videos

 

Sorry I’m not sure what you’re asking.

 

Oh I meant Do you drive on the highways frequently? Freeway tollway etc.
The gen2 single cab with AT is exceptionally quiet (engine transmission) overall compared to gen1 at very high speeds in my experience

 

ah gotcha. It’ll be my DD, so lots of pavement and stop n go. I’ve got unfortunately little time/budget for offroading atm. Hoping to change that in a year or so when our financial picture changes.

also, I’d welcome increased sound deadening in the gen 2 come to think of it. My gen 1 is quite loud, tho honestly it’s never bothered me much.

 

Yes the 2nd gens are quieter compared to a 1st gen
