    Difficult to tell, all we see are prices and mileage.

    Are any TRD models? All SR5?
    One comes with a shell, any others?
    Have you checked for frame rust on any of them?
    Is there a maintenance history on all of them?
    The list goes on..

    I think you need to decide what you want first. I see some pre-runners and some 4x4's. so start there and narrow it down. Look at the equipment for each truck too. (tow package, bed covers/ shells, sliding windows, GPS navigation, and whatever else)

    Also check the carfax. 1 owner is good. rentals arent good. accidents are bad. make sure titles are clean. check each truck out for rust, body condition, and driving experience. youre looking at 100k miles trucks. They might need brakes, tires, and other work. Drive and carefully look over each truck. and narrow it down until you find the one thats best for you. If you feel like you found the truck, put a REFUNDABLE deposit on it and then check out all the other ones too. Its good to look at all of your options before making a decision.

    anything from 2009 and up will be a lot more "modernized" i have a 2008 and i wish i would of looked harder for a year newer. you can 100% turn them inot the newer ones its just money and time, but thats what ive ended up doing also strongly recommend trd there awesome
