I thought there was someone here who had experience in this field. I'm looking at picking up a 2008+ Toyota tacoma this week, any suggestions what to stay away from? Need to refresh my memory.
 
@Shaun fbody is your man. I know nothing about the Tacoma. The old pickups, manufactured by Toyota had the 20R and later the 22R motor(I think) which were extremely reliable and well-performing motors.
 
Ok yeah I thought it was shaun but wasn't sure. Maybe he can chime in if he sees this thread.
 
I know July 4th every dealer ship will have some kind of sale. What should i look for there or stay away from?
 
honestly idk, but the tacoma is prolly the only truck id personally get. so glhf to you sir!
 
I would say what type of engine are you looking to get as far as cylinders. If its a 4 banger... well you could do Tacoma, Frontier or even a Ranger..... I had a 4 cylinder ranger and them shits run for fucking ever. If its a 6 cylinder I would say Nissan first... then Toyota and nothing else... unless your talking about buying a Jeep Wrangler w/ a strait 6... Nissan makes a world class 6 cylinder but the Jeep strait six is pretty fucking reliable as well. My wife and I have a g37 which has the 3.7 aluminum engine love the response, HP and reliability...... the VQ engine is arguably the best in its class. But with the 4 cyl there are lots of options... just depends on what your wanting to do with the truck.
 
Tacoma's hold their value extremely well.

My suggestion to you is to come up with a price you feel comfortable paying, then offer $2k less than that and slowly work up to your desired price.

If you have a VIN number I can pull up an actual price worth paying.. or if you have a link to one you want just send it here, and I will go from there. If its something they bought from a dealers auction, I could probably look up how much they paid for it. But Tacoma's are hot commodities.
 
V6 4x4 is what I'm.looking for and want a truck, not a jeep. I'll look at some and post a link. I'm going tomorrow to look at a few and will post back up here
