Soul Searching

Saying hello and looking forward to a long relationship. After 30 yrs of not owning a 4x4, it looks like I am getting close to becoming alive again. I am hoping to purchase my truck in the next few months, so wanted to start my research. I have kids so I am going to look for a Dbl Cab but since I have been out of loop for forever, I was hoping for some guidance. I know opinions can vary, but was wondering if there were some years to grab or some to avoid. Also understand 5ft bed vs 6ft bed, but was more concerned with particular mechanical issues to keep a watch for.

Any help is much appreciated.

 

There are no "problem" years. There are some problems with a few parts during different models. Nothing big.
