    Awesome! Definitely going to swap my silver trim for black when I get the truck. Is there a black steering wheel trim with audio control cut outs?

    Weirddddd looks like someone half-assed a base model. That looks like more rake than my stock O/R 13' has. Started upgrading a few things and ran out of money possibly. I would wait it out until you can find exactly what you're looking for.

    There is not a black steering wheel with cutout option made for Tacomas. I saw some stock photos of 2010+ 4runner interiors where there was a black option (possibly trail edition models?) but the button pattern is not quite the same. Could work though.

    Who knows what else was done half-assed. Personally I'd find one that is sold by owner so you have a better idea of what your buying.

    looks like my 2013 except the wheels, missing badging and steering wheel controls. Do a carfax on it to see if it has ever been wrecked.
    I would suspect this has been wrecked or something like that. not having the steering wheel controls is very unusuall.

    The problem with Carfax is it can only report what is reported to it. If I paid cash to get my wrecked truck fixed and sold it to someone, Carfax would never know because it was never reported through insurance.

    Now, OP, Carfax is useful for checking titles or just simply ask the salesman to see the title.

    Me personally, with Yelp reviews like that and it not being for sale by owner or "certified" dealership truck, I'd walk.

    Just look in the 2nd Gen For Sale Section on here...manyyyyy trucks within that price range.

    at the VERY LEAST, take it to a Toyota Dealership and let them inspect it before you buy it. Even if you have to pay for it, you would be better off.

    Not sure what it is but the previous owner did do some things to it. Debaged, added leather seat covers, sliders, and ugly wheels. Run a Carfax and see what it comes up with. The VIN # should give you some more info also. Not a bad looking truck (other than the wheels) but I would seriously have it checked out.

    No A TRAC so it's definitely not a OR. In fact the A TRAC button is completely missing next to the USB port.

    Seems super sketchy and after reading the reviews on yelp I would run in the other direction.

    After looking at the pics again. IMO it's a base model truck.
    A. No steering controls
    B. No rear sliding window
    C. Random misc interior items

    Now after that, i haven't check the review but I have a feeling this truck could have been once stollen and now it was "fixed" so it's has the navi unit (cheap to get on here) colored match bumper (cheap if found used) etc etc

    You're smart for looking else where

    No steering wheel controls is strange. Maybe its a theft recovery vehicle.
