Finally found what I was looking for......after months of searching.

And avoided what I think was a big mistake. As I almost bought 2006 access cab I4 auto. It only had 43k miles but also rust issues:

I came close to buying it last Friday but the owner would rather plant food plots for deer than sell his truck. Worked out for me because late Friday afternoon I found exactly the truck I wanted:

2006 Prerunner Access Cab V6 Auto (didn't care if auto or manual) with the TRD Offroad package. It has many more miles at 143k but was $2k cheaper and what I wanted. Super clean with no rust anywhere. The PO had a stack of service records including just spending $900 a month ago replacing the front brakes, alternator, oil change and transmission fluid change. Great tires and nice aftermarket radio but otherwise stock, which is the way I like it. No big plans for now. I would like rock sliders for the simple reason I want a step bar type thing for the short girlfriend but I don't like how most step bars sit low. Yes I know it's the purpose but I want the look and willing to sacrificing slight functionality.

 

what does the food plots for deer have to do with the other truck?

I am confused..

 

Probably that the owner would rather spend time with food plots than contact the interested buyer about the truck...

 

ahh okay.

lol now i get it

 

Exactly. He is a long time friend of the family and has been bugging my little brother to find him a 4x4 and help sell his. And decided to plant food plots on that day instead. Worked out for me though.
