    Hi. I've been searching around for a 4 cyl 5 speed Tacoma. I've always had a compact car and it has been hard with no truck owning a house. No way to get furniture, mulch, etc. Anyways, I may have found one.

    2012 Single Cab, Power windows/locks, 40k miles. Owner says it has a lift and bought it with the lift, I'm guessing at an auction. This affects fuel mileage, so it'd be the first thing to get if I buy it. I'll be looking at it tomorrow.

    Is there anything I should look for aside from rust on frame, maintenance, and general structural integrity on suspension components?

    I'm happy to have found this wealth of knowledge, and hope I get a truck and continue to lurk around here.

    Welcome! Looks good! One thing I'd check is the tread on the tires, but it shouldn't be too bad considering they are aftermarket and there are only 40k original miles on the truck
