    OP, what year is your Taco? Have read 05-06 V6 Tacos had higher rate of HG issues, as well as cracked frames behind driverside motor mount.

    It’s an 06, engine was replaced with a 2015 engine because it ended up being head gasket, frame also had to be repaired on driver side because of the failure you mentioned

    Glad your’s is fixed. As noted above, despite the headaches you went through, you may have come ahead with that low mileage 2015 engine.
