04 Taco 2.4 liter Extended Cab - 236,000 when purchased

Salvage title - many minor accidents according to Carfax. Frame is flawless not bent and no cancer. Thought I would take a chance on it. Heard so many good things about 1st Gen Tacos!! Drove from Charlotte after Christmas 2023 didn't miss a beat!! After around 4000 miles doesn't fail me. Snowbird in AZ and the truck will stay there idle for 6 months. Should last a long time...

Bought this 237,650 mile beauty in NC and drove to Phoenix last January with no issues. Did not burn a drop of oil on that 2000 mile trip. Very pleased with my 2004 1st Gen!!
