    Hello there, I'm looking for my first truck and I have an interest in a Tacoma for its reliability, smaller overall footprint, and decent gas mileage. I found this truck( https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for...e1=TOYOTA&modelCode1=TACOMA&clickType=listing ) and I like everything I see, except the mileage. I don't know what is considered "high mileage" for trucks like this. I know it all depends on how the truck was maintained, but I'm looking for an estimated mileage number. Any help I can get will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    That truck looks awesome! That sounds like a good deal, even though it's 2wd. The miles aren't high. My 03 has almost 265,000. The engine light is on, but it runs good!

    A little something every chance we get.
    Mileage is not high. I got my 07 at 191K for about $10K. Looking at the interior, far more worn than mine. Exterior looks ok. I think you can do better. If you can get the records (Toyota.com with a VIN, or Carfax, or both), don't let miles scare you.
