Thinking about buying a 09 V6,4x4 access cab....what's the good and bad about this tr

I found a 09 Tacoma with the V6. 4x4 access cab with the power plug in the box. The truck has 55,000 miles. The dealer hasn't inspected it yet....the check engine light was on. The truck has the towing package and I believe it is rated at 6,500 lbs....the most I will two is around 4,500.......and haul a box full of wood....not at the same time.

I have owned a Toyota car (09 yaris) and was very impressed with it but I have never owned a Toyota truck before.

Can you guys educated me as to known problems with this truck....if any??

 

Here a list of TSBs, they're the most common issues. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/7107-tsb-list-2005-toyota-tacoma.html

CEL's are not really common so really could be anything.

Edit: Here are some more common problems people run into along with some other tips.

Thanks for the heads up. I have some reading to do for tomorrow.

 

I would take any of the complaints you find online really lightly too. For the most part they are great trucks and most people never have any real issues.
