Buying a high mileage 2017 TRD Pro

He will only sale that truck to a fool at that price. One look at that caked up ball joint and the price is all I’d need to walk away.

 

Don't discount yourself, it can be both!

That camber is off and the shocks are shot.

 

You hear that 1st and 2nd genners?

 

I was afraid of that

 

Definitely figure costs to even make it road-worthy, previous owner already did, most likely why he’s selling (dumping) it. Obviously I haven’t seen it in person, but it definitely looks like a project.
You could probably find a 3rd gen non-Pro with half the miles or less for a few grand more. All that fancy aftermarket suspension needs rebuild often, so unless he can document it’s nearly new (which it obviously isn’t) it’s not worth jack shit to me.

 

I would reckon there will be more issues that come up down the road. That LBJ.. damn.

 

There’s a 2017 SR5 for sale near me with 80k miles for 31k. Run.

 

Hard pass.

 

does it still have the armor and shell? lol

 

I'll be the minority, but there's not near enough information to know if it will be a basketcase or not. Every uniball UCA I have run across squeaked eventually, and they are serviceable. Price seems high for mileage but not out of line based on the market. Frame looks pretty good for age/mileage but looks like the fasteners are a bit rusty. Other parts mentioned look good also for age/mileage but being aftermarket hard to tell when added.

Aside from that, I think the front end looks dumb as it is set up. Something about the scoop and bumper combination.

The same one you're jumping in your avatar? Also, username checks out...

 

I don’t know, those Bilsteins are a definite upgrade from the factory Foxes.

 

The picture itself is kinda warped.

 

I’ll agree, but those billies are old and probably need to be serviced/swapped. Who cleans up a frame like that but leaves the suspension components dirty? Idk just spitballin.

 

My suspension looks worse. The day I put it on I soaked everything in fluid film. It’s been collecting dust and debris for 3 years since then.

A hot water pressure wash and it will look brand new.

 

Probably someone who swapped out the suspension he had in it to sell it separately then reinstalled some old crap.

 

Used cars are like used underwear. Sure you can wash them out and parade them around, but do you really want to?

Don't buy used cars.

 

Sometimes you get lucky. My Land Cruiser has been super good to me these past 2+ years. Bought it with 210k miles. With good maintenance history, and the right price, it can work out. Not this truck though lol.

 

The TRD Pro came with Fox shocks, so there has been some "wrenching" for sure. Don't look like good wrenching from what I am seeing.

 

Yea but like who can pass up a land cruiser? There’s plenty of tacomas on the road
LCs we’re built to last

 

That motor is a ticking time bomb. Spend a bit more and get a low mileage TRD.
