    The MPG's they have listed are total bull shit. 18-25MPG? No.

    Based on that year I'd want to inspect that frame for rust.

    Also, they list "bed liner" as a feature. That's bullshit. There is no bed liner in that truck. That IS the bed. If they were a Toyota dealer they'd know that.

    If the frame is clean, it's worth the $$

    Yup, check the frame. They like using lots of liquid rust on the roads here.

    Also check the Carfax. You want to avoid vehicles that are coming from Houston.

    $14K for an 11 year old New England(maybe) truck from Random Joe's used car shop. It's clean looking on the outside, but I wouldn't buy it.

    There is a free CarFax attached. This truck spent its life in NJ. There are no indications that it had a frame inspection or CRC treatment. Check for rust, rust and more rust. Based on price, seems to good to be true.
