    Found one of these on my craigslist... What's the rarity of them? It has the 3.4 v6, 4wd and a rear locking diff. As far as I know, they only put the V6 in for a few years before they just started putting 4 cylinders in the regular cabs. He's asking 9500 for it, don't know what it's worth.

    Thanks

    That is one clean truck! Not used to seeing drivers seat without wear spot. Do you have any records of maintenance?Carfax? Also is the frame sound? It looks like it was very well kept but depending on service work, hard to price. Think it's at least 1000 to high unless meticulously maintained. Mileage is super low also. Check frame for rust for sure. GL and just my opinion. Nice

    One thing I did notice was that it had a rear locking diff. Was this a factory installed option back then for regular cabs?

    Is 9700 a bit high? The mileage is low for a tacoma, but I just want to make sure.

    The one linked above is incredible.

    I have a V6 reg cab myself, they are rare. The rarity is why I ended up repairing mine after totaling it about a year ago. It has been an ongoing project for isu2014, another friend of mine and myself. It should be "done" and better than before in about a month.
