Why does this Tacoma look low up front?

http://wickedmotorcars.net/vehicledetails.aspx?VID=133367512

Here's the truck, I wanted to buy it.. Haven't had a chance to test drive it, just looking at pictures. Single owner carfax (allegedly) and just curious why it looks squatty!?

Thanks

 

Hmmm it look like the bigger wheels are just sort of making the stock "rake" of the truck a little more obvious . . . it doesn't look like theres any toe-out going on. There's a possibility that it was wrecked and for some reason the front suspension was replaced with weaker shocks/springs . . I'm just guessing.

 

bingo

 

Hahaha!! Oh well, good excuse for some ome's

 

ROFL!

 

^^^ lol. really it looks like some bigger wheels and tires than stock so front end looks lower than rear because front bumper goes farther down.

 

Yeah...the first pic makes it look really saggy up front...it's possible you might need to replace the front suspension if you buy it...but definitely ask the price down for that, as $11499 is a bit much imho.

 

Yea, thanks for the input. It books for $12568 here, maybe I'll offer $10000 , use the 1500 for suspension and un-uglified wheels. But I think the wheels are from a different kind of Toyota truck or suv?!

 

It may just be that the rear end is higher due to an AAL or something, making the front look much lower. Either that or it has a big block V8 in it which weighs more and is causing it to sit down in the front.

And, someone on here would like to have those wheels. Those are 18" wheels off of a 4runner limited.

 

Well they just put BRAND new tires on it. If I buy this thing I'll sell em'

What's a good fair price do you think?!

 

That's what you call "rake"

 

I'm sure it's partly because the stock suspension is sagging a bit, but the main reason is because of the bigger wheel and tire combo on there. It fills up the wheel wells more which you can really notice with the stock suspension.

 

They look like 18s off a newer 4runner.

 

Youll need to replace the front tint or make the rears a little darker. Right now, it looks like the front rollups are darker than the rear!
