I would be very concerned about the frame on any older Tacoma. The recall is past but still plenty of frames that are just now going bad. My 05 Tacoma frame is shot. They have kits to repair the Tacoma frames. https://www.bestdeals.today/tacoma-...w_api=true&dest=0&sys_id=0%7C930I had mine reinforced by a local garage. They took it down to bare metal, cut out the bad spots, welded plates over them and painted. Its been a few years and it's holding up great. Now has 722,000+ miles on the old girl. It doesn't get so many miles now that I no longer have the big timber company contract.

I know they are physically larger so I would assu e the frames are different.

I drive one as my surveying-field vehicle. It is a 2011, V6 auto tranny. It has 93,000 miles on it with no problems. We had a 1998 before that, that Toyota recalled because of the frame rusting. They gave me far more than the truck was worth to trade it in on a new one. Pros: Has positive traction rear and will about climb a tree if the bark would hold. Solid 4WD Good turning radius, gets around in the woods, tight spots, etc. Cons: While it has adequate power for its size, the gas mileage sucks. 15 mpg or so. They are small, I'm 6'2" with broad shoulders, the cab space is narrow. The back seat is not meant to ride in but holds equipment well and locks up. This truck is not the full 4 door model and I bet the new ones are better. Zim
