    looking at an 06 Tundra with the 4.0 1GR-FE. Has 200,000 miles and looks pretty clean but haven't inspected yet. if everything looks good with no rust or scrapes and proper maintenance, Would it be a good buy for $4.5K? What would need to be looked at on these trucks before agreeing?

    Check the steering rack and the ujoints that go to the steering wheel from the engine bay. My work truck is an 05 tundra with the 4.0. Currently at 360k miles. She runs a little rough but she has had a rough life.

    Check to see when it was built. 05 and early 06 1Grs had bad head gaskets. Mine went at 245k.
