    Brand new member here. In the process of searching for a used Tacoma access cab 4wd.
    Found one in my area that I’m checking out in person this week.
    Black 2011 SR5 115k on the odometer, 2.7L. Automatic. Very clean in photos. What should I ask the owner or look out for with this truck? I’m new to the Tacoma world.
    Thanks!
    Tim H.

    Welcome to TacomaWorld!

    Frame rust is the most common issue with these trucks, so make sure you thoroughly inspect the frame

    Welcome. And pretty much what the other guys said, check for the recalls to be done and inspect the frame.

    Are you looking for a 2.7l in particular? Future plans for truck use?

    It will be an occasional use utility vehicle. Runs to the dump, Home Depot etc. Don’t need lots of hp.
    Gas mileage is a concern too.
