FS: 2003 TRD Limited Tacoma DC - WA State - $12000

Note: I will update this with interior pictures, pictures of the owners booklet, and an ODO reading as soon as I've vacuumed it (hopefully later today).

I was not really planning on selling this, but I bought a Prius for my new work commute and found myself not really driving it that much since that change happened in October. I am posting here first, but I'll likely cross post to my local marketplace, etc.

Currently at 236k. Mileage might go up slightly, but it won’t have any huge mileage gains.
Clean title/no accidents. Title is in hand. Cash or cashier’s check only.

I am the 3rd owner and have had it since January of 2018 (it had about 142k). It has spent most of it's time in Southern Idaho and SE Washington. There are no rust issues (I can update with a photo of that too).

Two keys, two key fobs (one doesn’t have a great battery anymore), and owners booklets included

Windshield wipers and battery were just replaced.

Interior: no rips, stains, tears. Some fading on the steering wheel and near the windows/door lock buttons. One of the passenger seats is missing part of the mechanism that fully latches the seat in place. I have not been able to figure out how to order the part or find one to take off another rig.

Exterior: paint is in great condition for the year. No fading, but there is some water etching on the hood from parking under a tall shrub and some places I patched on the roof where it was starting to show signs of splitting (it’s been two years since I filled these, and it might need done again). Regular door dings/scratches/chipping for the age.

Bed has a liner. I painted on bed rail caps with bed liner paint because it didn’t have any and had some scuff marks. I also painted the fender flares as one of them was flaking paint pretty bad.

It has 3rd gens wheel and tires. The tires have roughly 15-20k miles on them.

I replaced the blower motor in 2018 when I got it, and it sounds like it might need replaced again soon. AC/Heater/Defrosts work fine.

Cali-Raised yellow fog lights were attached to the front bumper. The switch is not connected to the cluster dimmer, so it needs to get turned off manually (won’t turn off with the key).

Quirks: the 4-HI light has been stuck on since March of 2019. I have had it looked at by 3 mechanics, and they’ve concluded it’s a computer issue. 4-hi and 4-low both work perfectly. The backseat on the driver’s side doesn’t firmly lock into place. I have been unable to find a replacement part, but it should be easy to get one off a Tacoma or 4runner being parted out.

Maintenance:

• It is due for a timing belt service (I would have gotten that done last fall if I kept driving it as my daily).
• Regular oil/oil filter changes using Mobil-1 Oil for vehicles with high mileage. (Every 5k). Oil was last changed last fall. I lost the mile tracking when I replaced the battery. It’s probably been 2.5k or so since it was replaced.
• o2 Sensor replaced (Passenger side) around 230k (January of 2024).
• Suspension is stock but the ball joints were replaced at approximately 215k and the lower control arms and passenger CV axle were replaced at approximately 220k (July of 2023) Air filter was also replaced sometime around here (I did forget to write that down though).
• Brake Rotors and Pads (ceramic) were replaced in Nov. of 2022 (approx. 215k)
• All front end lamp assemblies were replaced in the summer of 2022.
• Radiator was replaced at 213k
• Valve Cover gasket was replaced at 210k
• The oil pressure sensor was also replaced sometime around here, but I didn’t write it down.
• I’ve replaced the spark plugs twice (the first time at around 175k with the wires and the second time when I did the gasket at 210k).
• All differential fluid was flushed and replaced at 175k.
• Transmission fluid, steering fluid, and brake fluid (I believe - I will double check on this when I look through my papers later) were all flushed at around 150k.

 

5VZ has a timing belt, not chain.

Great price none-the-less. GLWS

 

Did not catch that I typed it like that. I'll edit it. Thanks!

 

Here are some interior shots. I didn’t have time to get it vacuumed and cleaned out, but I wanted to show the condition of the interior!

 

Does this have the rear locker?

 

Yes it does!

 

bump. also open to offers. I haven't posted locally yet but will be this week.
