    I just purchased my used 2012 Prerunner Doublecab SR5 with 57k miles.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or concerns they've experienced with their trucks?

    Lol. I'm hoping for a reliable truck. This is my first Toyota vehicle in my 35 years of driving.
    I've 2 Honda cars and haven't been overly pleased with the reliability of either one.
    Other than the two Honda's, I've always driven the big 3 and had pretty good luck with them.

    I know that's the truth, I'm already looking at a lift, aftermarket wheels and larger tires.
