If you take care of this truck, it will take care of you. Absolute beast of a daily driver. Can’t afford the upkeep of a truck these days and I want it to get the care it deserves. Downgraded to a Camry (same year same color actually).
I’m crushed to see it go, so come take a look at it and I'll be transparent.
- Oil changed every 4k miles for its entire life
- Solid frame (no rust)
- AC/heat/all lights work
- hitch receiver installed last year
- Full inspection done at Rising Sun Auto Repair last December, I can provide the full report upon request.
Maintenance history:
- New tires - July 2025
- New timing belt – 2023 (Toytech Colorado Springs)
- New clutch pedal bracket (should have been a Toyota recall) – 2023 (Toytech Colorado Springs)
- New rear axle housing – 2023 (Toytech Colorado Springs)
- New Sankei 555 lower ball joints – March 2025
- New Monroe OEM rear shocks – April 2026
- New A-Premium front shocks (they do the trick) – February 2026
- Fresh oil + filter – April 2026
- Fresh front differential fluid – March 2025 (Durango Toyota)
- Fresh transfer case fluid – March 2025 (Durango Toyota)
- Fresh rear differential fluid – November 2025
- New power steering pump – 2022 (Toytech Colorado Springs)
- New exterior door handles (the original ones break easily)
Known issues (fully disclosed):
- 310,000 miles on the odometer
- Body isn’t perfect
- Needs upper ball joints + alignment (comes with new upper ball joints uninstalled, Mevotech supreme)
- Rear axle housing fluid seepage (Toyota factory defect common to this era) — professionally addressed April 2026 (Freedom Four Wheel), currently about 90% resolved, may benefit from additional welds
- Slight coolant consumption — has sipped coolant slowly for 5+ years, never overheated, recently flagged by shop as possible head gasket; stable and not getting worse.
- High idle (throttle body butterfly valve). I have located a machine shop (Proflowdesigns) that will do this for $270 including return shipping
- Speedometer cable before winter – whines pretty loud only during cold weather (>32ºF), works fine though
- Minor body damage on driver's side cab, covered with stainless steel riveted plate
- Large hole in muffler – great sound but would sound better with an intact one
- Shifting is a little notchy, - clutch fluid, slave/master cylinder may need replacing
Comes with original toyota bottle jack, emergency wheel chocks, and optionally two duralast 6 ton jackstands
