2007 Tacoma ?

Looking at buying a 2007 Tacoma 4x4 v6 4L

Just looking for the good/bad on this year. I’ve been looking for a few years and they are hard to find around here in Saskatchewan. It is a one owner vehicle. They have done all the recalls on it and it looks to be in good shape. It’s 5 hrs away from me. Their are a bunch of Tacoma owners on here so I thought this would be a good place to find out the what’s/ what about this year and model

203794 kms Or 126631 miles
$11000 Canadian or $8577 American dollars

I can’t add pictures on my iPad I’ll try my phone.

I would jump on that .


Would be alot more around here

If there aren't any rust issues you better buy it. I have an 09 4 cylinder with 113k and thats about half what I ould ask for it.

What antigov said. Snatch it before it's gone!

Buy.

Yep, that would be a 20k USD truck in my neck of the woods

I have a 2010 4 cylinder; manual.

only two things I don't like about it..

the "access" part of the cab is poorly designed for just about everything. I took the jump seats out and fashioned a plywood platform to even out the surfaces, so the dog could ride comfortably there.

the truck does not have much power (go, figure!)

still, not selling mine!

That sounds like a good price, they're a good truck---I have two!

Sounds too cheap. Might be a scam.

Thought the same thing Michigander.

Thanks for the input so far.

It’s not a scam I have talked to the owner. They are moving across the country and are not taking the truck. That being said if I go look at it and it’s not what they said I don’t have to buy it. Seems legit but you never know.

I was planning the same thing. Any pictures you could post would be great.

The 5speed auto trans is a joke. Geared for a car not a truck. The traction control has locked a rear tire up while driving multiple times. Replaced traction control sensor an didn't fix it. Only seems to happen on washboards going uphill. 4.0 Good engine I will say. I'd trade my 06 for a 4 door pre-2005 in a heartbeat. The worst Toyota I have owned but it's still a taco an better than majority of other vehicles out there

I'm inept for posting pics here, but pm me your phone number, and I'll take a few tomorrow and message them to you via cell phone.

Grab it Quick! Very good price. Only thing better would be a manual Trans.
I have a 2003 V6 manual trans that I bought new, Best truck I ever owned and still has a lot of life to it.

It sold…… I should of went today but I had to work!

was wondering if you would ever pass up your Ranger
dont worry there was not enough room for all your shed findings with that small box

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.

New Tacoma look. Grandson just drove one off the lot!

They have kits to repair the Tacoma frames. https://www.bestdeals.today/tacoma-...w_api=true&dest=0&sys_id=0%7C930

I 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.

mine was replaced two years ago...I think they still CAN be (but check for yourself).

Have you ever seen a kit for the 05 and newer trucks? I know they are physically larger so I would assu e the frames are different.

No I haven't. I should have mentioned these kits are for 95 - 04.

This is the first time I have ever heard of anybody having issues with the 05 and newer frames. I wasn't aware the recall ever covered anything newer than 04 either. Was never an issue out here, only ones that the local garages had ever seen were ones from back east like Wisconsin and Michigan and sold out here because they could get twice the money from unsuspecting buyers. Of course now they are spraying all that de-icer crap on the roads and even using salt, so in a few years we will probably get problems.

By the way, if you were okay with an automatic (I'm not) you should have taken the day off work to go buy that truck. In fact if I was you I would have jumped in my rig when I got off the phone with them and headed their way. That was a steal of a buy.

Thanks. Just trying to prepare for the inevitable.

I have a 2008 Tacoma which I bought new that Toyota replaced the entire frame and misc. components in 2019. I personally did not think it was rusted that bad but the dealer tested it and told Toyota that it needed to be replaced. I'm very grateful that Toyota picked up that bill.

2nd gen Tacoma

bought an '03 with 79K on it in 2018, never heard about the frame issues until then, the frame recall ran out in 2018 for that model. so will deal with it like the other owners do, plate it when it breaks. truck now has 94K on it, just use it for my yearly trip to the obx.

Greatly appriciate this.

I have a friend who welds them on and says they fit lije a good glove and somebody really did their homework when they made these.

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.

If your 5’8” 170 lbs …you’ll fit in it. An 07 up here in the Northeast is non existent ( Rusty )…Other than that …your good to go

Little trucks for little people

Could be Nessy, remember Paul had put about 600,000 miles on his outfit.
They don't get the salt, sand and rust like we do.

Zim, that truck now has 722,000 miles on it.

My 07 is rust free on the body. Ive replaced the tailgate twice. My buddy says 5 years on an after market tailgate i think it was 5 years and 2 minutes!! and YES we get some blacktop with our salt in the winter!

Tacoma's are great trucks! I have owned 8 including the one I have now. Fuel consumption could be much better for a small sized truck with a V6!
