2017 Tacoma to buy?

Hi, after being taken out by a wrong way driver, my 2014 I loved with manual everything is gone. I found 2, 2017 access cab, automatic everything in Manteca and Sacramento. Mileage is 125,178 for 19,995 and 144,879 for 19,940. Both are in good condition. Is there anything about the 2017's others have found that are a red flag about this years model?

 

No major issues, but you 100% must get it inspected by a 3rd party. It's big money and tacomas have a few issues that can be easily hidden from a tire kicking customer.

 

In general if both trucks are almost identical I’d go for the one with lower mileage.

Welcome to the forum

 

Yes get it inspected as per post #2

Check the frame
Check for more than surface rust
Check the ball joint
Check the u-joints
Check the carrier bearing
Check all the boots.

 

Are these 4 cylinders or 3.5 v6? The base model tacoma was only about 24-26k brand new with the smaller engine. Even with good resale, it should not be selling for 5k less than new with 120k miles.

 

17's are solid years for Tacomas. It's the 2nd year of the 3rd Gens and the any bugs from the initial launch have are worked out. I have one, which I bought used a few years ago and it's been a solid problem free truck. I love this truck.
