    Hello,
    My name is Carter. I'm a 26 year old ex Army flight medic. I've wanted to own a truck since high school and I find that in a years time the conditions will be right to purchase one. I wanted any advice on what to look for in a low cost first truck. My only aim is to modify the tire size, and wheel height for more moderate off roading and maybe some occasional camping. Other than that it's not more than a once a week driver. My initial budget is around 8,000. Any and all advice is welcomed on anything Tacoma related.

    Hey Carter welcome to the forum.
    Thanks for your service. You should be able to find a nice 1st gen for around 8k. Good luck with your search.

    Welcome to TW and thank you for your service! :oldglory:

    1st Gen will be at that price range but make sure to inspect the undercarriage for rust.
