I've helped them when they've been short handed, and Lord, the things I've seen those trucks do, and some of the things I've done to them....

Even with the little 4 cylinder and a manual transmission, those things take a LOT of punishment. Both had under 100k miles last I saw them, but those were miles carrying way too much in the bed, through mud, over ruts, and in places that a pickup has no business going. Those trucks hold up extremely well- you're going to love yours. I'm honestly thinking of trying to find a Tacoma or Tundra for my next truck in my E-Waste business. The only complaint I have is the price on them out here (People pay a large premium for them out here). But, mechanically- I can't think of any faults. If the neighbors can't kill a truck, you surely won't
That is wonderful to hear! The one I got was 100% a work truck before I got it, so even though it has low miles, Im sure some of them were some hard miles. Fortunately I got it CPO and still have a good bit of warranty left if I ever need it. I feel like I got a good deal, but they do sure command a steep price. Mine is the 2.7L 4cyl, 2wd.... I am always pretty rough on my vehicles, and knowing toyotas reputation to take a beating is one of the main reasons I got this truck. Hearing you confirm this, is reassuring too! Thanks!
