    My lil' dude is now a young man, and in just a matter of months he will be with license in hand. I need a truck for housework in the mean time, so I picked up the Tacoma for me (for now) then will hand it down to my son. Of the 3 cars at my house, they're all Toyotas. This is the only Tacoma.
    After tons of research I picked up a 2003 Prerunner with only 133,000 miles. I did research on the truck and learned that the original owner is now 73 years old, and only drove it about 8,000 miles per year in southern Cal. Then in the last 3 years it was owned by someone in construction who drove it a little less than 10,000 miles per year (since 2016). He needed a bigger truck, so he sold it back to the dealer he bought it from in the bay area.
    Over all, it's a great looking and running truck. It's the perfect truck to show my son how to work on cars, as our other Toyotas are all modern and electronic.
    The truck is not perfect though and I will be posting in the main forums for assistance.

    Great choice! I had an 04 PreRunner and it was always reliable and provided a ton of utility for me.
