    I would keep looking. Took me 8 months to find my truck. The truck you are looking at is throwing up way too many red flags

    I found a 2010 crew cab manual that has 100k miles on it for 23k. I was trying to avoid car payments but it's a much nicer truck and I'm sure it will last me a lot longer

    The A340F and A340E transmissions are very dependable transmissions. People here have well over 300+k miles, and there's dozens of people running 400-500k or even more. The autos in the first gens were made by Aisin and it's a good trans. Its very sensitive to heat but other then that you won't have an issue. I actually can't remember seeing any threads of people having issues with their trans in first gens. The first gens just don't stop running.

    I have a Prerunner with the A340E with 180k on it and it shifts like its brand new. Can barely feel the shift. And I'll tell you, I have beat the living dog shit out of it. If it hasn't grenaded on me, you'll be fine lol
