New to site, Looking for my 1st Tacoma...1st gen. preferred.

Hey,

New to the site and to Tacoma's. I have been looking with no luck as of yet. The clean good priced ones go very fast. Thought I would search on an owner site. I am looking for a clean mostly stock (2001-2004)1st gen. SR5/TRD. I like the size and look. It would be mostly a mall crawler, DD and light trails. If there is a preferred year out of the 1st gen. please let me know and why. Thanks in advance and I will check out the site some more and post a WTB thread.

 

Location? Price range?

 

In Houston TX, preferred price range is $7-10k, but can go higher depending on what it is, has.

 

In that price range you should be able to get into a good one in the 100k - 150k mile range, be sure to check the frame for rust issues on any truck you look at. Walk away from anything with excessive or rusted through frames, unless you want a big project
