    I would jump on that 4x4 immediately. It will not be for sale very long. It's a good price for California also.

    holy fuck, 19k with 150k miles? no that is not a good deal. pretty much wipe that right off the prospective list. buy new, and get exactly what you want.

    Now im not sure exactly where the button for the 4wd is (since i have the pre runner), but if u look at the pics of the black truck you will see that it only has a button for the rear diff lock. it also looks like it sits really low for a 4x4. I could be wrong though

    4x4 has high mileage but use that as an excuse to bring the price down.

    My vote, 4x4

    4x4 all the way man!! But that is WAY too many miles to spend 19K on. I just spent 19K on a 2010 TRD off road with only 44K on it, before the lift and wheel and tire packagge...got out the door for 24K. There are better deals out there you just have to be a bit more patient...or expand your search!

    Good luck in your hunt man!
