    Guys,

    I am looking for a truck for once a month Home Depot run and jetski tow. Towing is about 80 miles round trip. Probably a 800 (400 miles each way) miles tow once a year to the river. I have a 2012 Dbl cab V6 that I will be selling to in law. I just don't drive the truck much now to keep such a nice truck around.

    I saw this one. What do you think? I just found out that the 4cyc has chain instead of belt.

    Looks clean. And the 4 bangers have a timing chain I believe. Did not notice if it already has a tow package? For light towing every now and then I would think you would be good as long you are are not towing up mountain grades.

    Looks sweet. I agree, if you're not towing anything heavy uphill this looks like a good deal.

    Too few to list.
    Looks legit. I found that lots of cars from craigslist have rolled back mileage and from out of state at one point. I used Carfax for this which isn't entirely accurate. Check the frame carefully.

    The 4 banger will do it but towing with them isnt really very fun, even on flat ground. But if you dont mind it will surly get you from point A to point B!
