2006 Tacoma durability question

You are better off buying a low miles V8 4runner that had the 5 speed auto. Swap the ecm and motor, custom mounts and stuff, then you are good to go. V8 torque and power, sound, and its still toyota.

 

There are a few build threads with engine swaps. You better have a lot of money though. You'll probably want stronger axles as well.

 

Most mods can be removed and then put on a new truck, if said truck does die. Assuming you buy another Tacoma.

 

My 2006 just broke 100k miles and is doing great. Enjoy your new truck

 

you want to turbo a 1gr with 255k on it yikes. hope you have deep pockets

 

ive got an 06 and i can tell you its fun as hell how it is. i may end up tossing a 2 in lift or just 3rd gen suspension under it but do NOT turbo it. these things are plenty powerful and its a damn truck bro not a racecar. in your shoes id just leave it stock and enjoy it. do those things to a truck with less miles in the future once youve got some money.

use that money you have for preventative maintinence and enjoy it!
