    I don't understand people who post vehicles for sale and then post only 4 pics. No interior, no engine. :jpow::jpow::annoyed:

    Then asking price :duh:

    Most likely because the vehicle is not in good shape,so the seller avoids bad/ worn out area's.

    Be weary. I have an 06 and I can tell you all the surprises of mechanical failures I've experienced and finding out it's only on the 05/06 years... cough cough motor mounts snapping cough

    That's 2k less than I paid for my 2010 brand new in 2010. That is insane.

    I can’t recommend a 2012 for the fact that the secondary air system is troublesome and there is no “fix”.
    The fix is buying a 2013+ truck.[/QUOTE]


    I have a 2012 and got a letter from Toyota a couple of years ago and they changed my secondary air system.

    I expect the OP has already made their decision, but for reference for others, I bought a 2006 access cab, long bed, 4x4, 4.0L, 6MT with 3" lift, new 285 tires, seats without any tears, and 118K miles for $13,500 here in California in October '23. They were asking $15K, but I knocked them down because the throwout bearing is making noise.
