I've got the 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro which was an upgrade option in the latter part of that year. I did a ton of research on all years and I came to the conclusion that the 2015 was the Tacoma year I wanted. I lucked out and found mine 250 miles away at an Audi dealership. I have since upgraded it with an overlanding build. I absolutely love it. I'm fairly certain I won't like another truck in my life like this one. My therapist says that's probably too early to tell, but she drives a Ford. So.....quack.
The 2nd gen Tacoma is so beautiful and reliable got my 2013 trd for 10 years and I still love drive as the first day I buy it currently have 75,400 miles in the 4.0 engine and always park in my garage .
I bought my Tacoma brand new in 2008 and it’s been great 👍 no major repairs, jus breaks, serpentine, spark plugs, and oil’s and filter changes, love my Tacoma
I searched for 2 years to buy a 2015. Last year of the 4.0. Finally found one with low miles in immaculate condition. Change your oil and do the routine maintenance in it will outlast most any truck out there.
I bought a 2005 model back in 2008 and it's been the best truck I have ever owned. The truck had 18k when I bought it and now has 188k and still running strong. These trucks are worth the $..
Bought a Tacoma prerunner 2006 in2008 with 36000 miles on it & outside of routine maintenance it’s never left me stranded Todays mileage is around 235000 & still moving around in good shape. Well worth the money 💯
I bought a brand new 2005 trd sport 4x4 19 year ago with 195k miles on it and still running smooth from Louisiana to Olando with no problems, I paid $29500 and it worlth every cent
I've owned a 2011 since new in 2010. 385,000 Kilometers (240,000 miles) 4L V6, and have never had a single issue. Routine maintenance only. A recall where Toyota replace the leaf springs for free, that's it. I was going to trade it in for 2024 Trail Hunter, until I was informed there is a 2 to 3 year waiting list. I will die an old man with my 2011. :)
I recently got a red 2015 with 58,000 miles, it’s a beauty for sure. SR5 4WD with the tow package. I only wish it was an off-road trim with manual, however where I live manual Tacomas are very rare, regardless of generation. It’s a great balance between a classic and simple vehicle, while still being new enough and having a relatively good safety rating.
I had a 2007 extra cab v6 6 sp manual & loved it. Had 20" wheels with Yokohama tires& drove it like a sports car. Traded it for a 2013 4dr long bed auto V6 that now has 140,000 mi on it and once again...no issues. The auto trans is fine, no hunting gears, gas mileage is 20 to 23 MPG , no rust issues but I did opt for the Diamond coat which I also did with the 07 and I recommend that as I have never waxed (either one) and they always look good after running thru a BRUSHLESS car wash. My wife has had a couple of Camrys and they both racked up more than 280,000 mi no issues. Toyotas rule!
Only thing to consider is that the 2012 which i currently own is part of that “2.5” gen range of tacoma models which is 12-15. Truck runs like a dream and absolutely fits all of the perks and plus’s mentioned🤷🏻♂️
I'm a long time Toyota truck customer dating all the way back to when they didn't have a model name or trim, simply called Toyota pick-up. Bought my first truck in 1985 and traded about every five to seven years. Next a 1994 that I traded in 2001 for the new first Gen Pre-Runner SR5 double cab, then traded it in 2006 for 2nd Gen 06 Pre-Runner Double Cab 4.0 6 cyl 5spd automatic. In 2010 traded for my current 2010 Pre-Runner Access Cab 4cyl 5spd mnl, religiously, keeping up scheduled maintenance on every one of them and never any costly repairs on any. My current truck has 200600 miles has been completely trouble free having only had right front wheel baring assembly replaced. Currently waiting for my new 2022 SR5 to arrive in a couple weeks. By the way this time, I'll be keeping my 2010 for the loyal trouble-free service it's provided and for the manual transmission. If you take care of them, they'll take care of you.
I have a salvaged 2013 That had 21k miles. I got it for 18,750 k and it was fully refurbished with OEM parts. I have had it for 3 years and now it has about 73k miles. Love it
Bought my 2015 TRD Off Road in late September 2014. Still absolutely satisfied. Strong off road performance, and smooth and quiet on the freeway. I found the solution to the squeaky doors was to apply weatherstrip dressing once a year. Maintenance has been done per factory schedule and oil change every 5k. Only repair has been a failed seal on a rear Bilstien shock. Nice to hear confirmation of what I already suspected. Thanks
I got a 97 4x4 4 cyl and I love it. Even as an older woman, I still fix my truck when something goes south, which is rare. We drove across country in it with no problem. Ill keep it as long as it lasts. Working on 250,000 miles this year.
I just bought my 4th Toyota truck. I had 3 Hylux and now I’m on my final Tacoma, which is a 23 TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the Premium pkg. At my age and that I only drive 5-6K miles per year, my current Tacoma will be the last Toyota pickup I’ll ever own
My 06 Access Cab 4.0 has been amazing since I bought it. Ive only changed the alternator and A/C compressor. Other than that just regular maintenance items like brakes,oil changes etc. I will say the Power Stop brakes were a HUGE upgrade for my truck.
wow what a random coincidence, i literally just bought my first used tacoma and its a 2015 texas edition prerunner. and it had 133k miles on it and the thing has the cleanest carfax ever with maintence records dating back to 2016 with only two owners. then i found this video and made me feel better about my choice. i plan on treating it like a baby with maintenance so i can have it for as long as i can
2013, purchased new. 225k km. It has been to the arctic. Basic maintenance and u joints in August. I have never had a better vehicle...After my wife and kids this is what I love the most.
I bought my 2015 TRD Sport Prerunner new because I wanted the 4.0 vs the 3.4 in the 2016. Currently have 79000 miles on it and this truck has been absolutely bullet proof. Just recently changed my tires and breaks for the first time and still had plenty of wear left on both of them. I’ve never had a vehicle before that was that good when it comes to wear items like tires, breaks, ect. Highly recommend.
I bought a 2010 with 47k miles, 4.0L, 2wd. Have 61k miles on it now and has been very pleasant to drive, light and nimble, trouble free miles. I recommend full synthetic oil changes every 5k miles and drain and fill the tranny at 50k miles, do this every 10-15k miles until you've done this process 4 times since you can only get 3quarts out of the drain fills each time you do it.
😊 I have a 2003 I purchased it with 256,000 mi on it and I haven't had a problem except with my brakes and I've had it for 2 years 😊 I have only put on 30,000 mi and it's still running great.
Just bought a 2014 Tacoma base w/ 15k in better than the "pro" adds. 178k mi. on it. Test drove it over the continental divide for 2 hrs, from Golden the Eisienhower tunnel & back. It is by far the best truck out there! None compare. I'm a fighter jet Marine, saying that. Also the best car out there is the mdl 3 Tesla, bang for the buck. They require next to 0 maintence, & 1/3 the energy cost.
As for the Tacoma's, I believe the 2004 and the 2015 Tacomas are the best mid size trucks ever built!! Love the 4.0 litre engine and no problem transmission. Best i performance!
Had many Toyota trucks and an FJ. I factory ordered my white 2015 PreRunner crew cab long bed Limited ( the first year they ever offered this trim level on a Tacoma) my buddy owned the dealership and told me the rep had said “ tell your friend we’re sorry he waited so long cuz we waited till the end of production around July of 2025 for the Gen 2 before Will built the custom orders.” He went on to say it was one of the last 2015 Tacomas to roll off the line and one of 6 ever built in that configuration. PreRunner-long bed- Limited- class 4 tow package- JBL sound…loaded. It’s the finest truck I’ve ever owned. 96,800 and some lady just today asked if I got a new truck. BTW I run Goodrich Blizzaks DVM 2’s in the winter and Yokohama’s the rest of year. They both make an incredible difference.
I have a 2015 Tacoma trd off road I bought it here in Lebanon in the middle east in year 2020 for 15000$, it was imported from usa, it had 55000 miles now its 100000 miles and still runs good, it was manufactured in Mexico the company name Baja... i just recently changed spark plugs beacuse the check engine light got on and there was missfire on cylinder 3 and 5 , when i changed the spark plugs the codes got cleared and everything is ok, i changed also the transmission fluid , i put dexron 6 red color fluid It got 12 quarts! I did fill and drain, i change regulary the engine oil every 5000 miles. And i changed the coolant in radiator and changed also the air filter. :) The Taco 2015 is the best ever tacoma model! Its much better then the 1st and the 3rd gene.:)
Hello! I have a 2014 2WD from new (10 Yrs. now), besides the regular maintenance I only spent $520 extra on a worn out gasket. I got it lifted and bigger tires for 5 years, and no issues at all. Over 98K sMiles.
LOL, I got a 2020 Tacoma 2.7L double access SR5 and had no issues at all with it. Plus, it has the wide-screen display for navigation and entertainment. I would get a 2020-2022 Tacoma over the older ones.
I have a 2015 4cyl base Tacoma. I bought it with 60k. It now has 130k. Its still early, but so far so good. Only “problems” were an AC part, and a valve cover gasket. Im hoping to get a minimum of 300k out of it.
Generally the last two years of any model/generation of a vehicle are the most reliable. With Tacoma having an unusually long run with each generation (10 years!), it's a sure bet to be good in it's final years.
I have a 2014 Tacoma Pre Runner 162,000 miles - I love it ! What I like best is its pre wired for everything- $30 camera got me rear view camera images
I bought a 2005 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner with the TRD Off-Road package brand new. It’s the best truck I’ve ever owned. My 2005 has only 20,000 total miles on it and runs like it was new.
My Tacoma a 2015 TRD OffRoad SR-5 is so dependable. I have taken it from Colorado to Florida to Iowa and back and all over the Midwest and Rockies with no problems.
May 2008 is great truck although it has a 4.0 engine the head gaskets are known to be a problem if you don't change out you coolant on time your truck will be good to go.
I got my 2015 Trd sport two years ago it has 97 k I’m so stoked to hear it’s #1. I love it it’s manual transmission I hope to have it for 500k that would be amazing.
I have a 2011. Bought used in 2013. 286000 miles presently. New frame.. Thank you Toyota! Leaf springs replaced after they broke from a heavy load of flooring.. oops.. I love this truck! The only thing happening at the moment is the torque converter is acting up.. I will get the transmission replaced before I buy a new one.. Tundra next! If I have to part with this Tacoma..
My '14 Taco has been very reliable. No real issues except the for the oxidation of the roof paint, which appears to be an all to common problem with Tacoma, even with regular waxing and mostly being garaged, it still is a problem.
i have a 2013 TRD Sport double cab long bed 2x4 4.0 V6 automatic. I bought it used in 2016 with 52K miles. I just hit 172K miles. Wish it was 4x4 but don’t really need that living in San Diego. That being said, I’ve driven the truck (from San Diego) to; Phoenix (x3), Las Vegas, Humboldt Redwood State Park (x2) and Portland, Oregon (x3). It’s my daily driver…. oh, and I worked part time delivering pizza with Dominos for two and a half years. Thing is a beast. Added a Snugtop Rebel camper shell last year and fell in love with the truck all over again.
I loved my 2012 TRD Sport 4x4!! Actually shed tears when I traded her in for the 2020 (same model) she only had 64k and I got 8k less than what I paid for her brand new...thats crazy! Of course my 2020 is worth a lot more than what I paid for as it only has 4900 miles on it. But Im not trading her in...put a lot in on mods and of course the regear. Shes awesome now because the regear she shifts so smooth and no hunting...but i did love that 2012.
@@johnnyrebel3340 oh didnt mean to give u the impression she doesnt run well...she does. Its the pairing of the engine and gear ratios that cause a lot of gear hunting. As far as taking a loss...my Toyotas have kept their value...I didnt think my 2012 would bring nearly as much as it did and right now my 2020 is worth 8 more grand than what I paid for it (which was Jan 2020 right before the Covid crap set in. So right now she actually could make money for me but wouldnt trade her. Shes got the mods that I want and shes tuned perfectly, smooth and seamless shifting on hills etc. I normally would say never buy new...but the 2012 was brand new and it was a little overpriced but thats the area around here but she more than compensated for that when I did trade her in. Now I did buy one new Ford 2004 F150 4x4...and lordy talk about depreciation! But everybody is pretty much happy right now with what they are they are getting trade in wise. I just wouldn't buy anything with the way the market is now. I just lucked out getting mine when I did.
My 4 cylinder 2015 PreRunner SR5 is awesome. It’s equipped with Fox 2.5 DSC shocks and coil lovers icon upper control arms, icon rxt leaf pack and 275/70/17’s I haven’t been stuck in a Jersey winter yet.
Have a '05 with 299,000 miles with just regular maintenance. Bought a '18 and getting rid of it. Nice truck but does not feel as solid or as strong as the '05. The 3.5 is supposed to have more horsepower than the 4.0 and it might but the 4.0 has better torque. Agree with you. 2013-2015 is what I will be looking for. Now if I can only find one with low mileage, haha.
I just got a 2015 SR5, and I love it! Looks and runs like brand new! I have all the service records, clean one owner. Had four other ones sold out from under me before I found this one, but it's far nicer than the others!, Not a TRD, but it's well suited for my usage!
I bought my 15 taco new off the lot. 140k mi and just as tight as day one. I have kept up on maintenance as the truck is designed to do so. Super easy dyi from regular engine oil, power steering fluid, Trans fluid and coolent replacement.
I have a 2013 4wd, crew cab, 4.0, Bought it used with high miles and to look at it, it looks like it wasn't over 50,000 miles. Its gorgeous, a couple of nicks and scratches, paint looks great. I've only had it less than a year. During that time, its gotten my whole attention. So far I've replaced the carrier bearing, a U-joint, the battery, the plugs, the coils, the A/C blower. I'm getting ready to turn 250,000 miles real soon, but I love this truck. It's the nicest vehicle I've ever owned.
My 2015 trd off road has 160 thousand miles on it. I bought it new and after eight years of ownership and all those miles the only things I've had to replace was the front brakes at 130k miles and two bulbs, that's it. I'm never selling it.
Just snagged a clean 2015 TRD Sport w/ tow pkg so I guess I hit the jackpot. Wish it was an Off-road but, hell, you can't have everything😷. Thanks for the great content.
I've got a 2013 double cab pre runner with 128k miles. I'm thinking I want to upgrade to the 4x4 TRD off road double cab in a few years, but honestly I love my truck. It's smooth and feels great to drive. It's actually not that bad on insurance pricing, and it feels quality. Mine is a bit cosmetically lacking but overall it's nice in magnetic metallic gray. I mainly bought it because my anxiety about the Nissan cvt I had in my daily before. I didn't want to get stuck with a 4k repair bill over Nissan quality being garbage. My only complaints are how much a tank of gas cost and a new set of 265/70/16 all terrains are.
Just bought a silver 2015 dcsb prerunner with 4.0 auto and has under 56k miles! So far I'm loving it... Came from an pos Altima so it's a little bit of an adjustment with the mpg but other than that it's better in everyway
I have the top of the line version of 2013 Toyota TRD 4x4 Off-road with all the bells and whistle, including all-track, downhill assist and rear differential locks. I take IT off road, drive it EVERYWHERE, NEVER GOT STUCK. I've also NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH MY TACOMA which is powered BY a 4.0 liter V-6 engine which is SUPER POWERFUL and VERY FAST. I replaced the stereo system with a top of the line Pioneer system which came with wireless apple car play and internal navigation. I am planning to keep my Tacoma as long as I live. It's THE BEST TRUCK EVER BUILT!!!
@@juanitamaddox2282 My 2013 Tacoma TRD 4x4 Off-road is made in USA. I don't think it matters when it comes toTacoma. They are extremely well built and super reliable. That said, I would try to stay away from Made in Mexico.
I have a 2013 TRD Sport, 4dr. Bought it new and has 112k. Changed all fluids at 75k. No major problems. I would love to have a power seat, but don’t know which past model year to buy.
I’m about to buy a 2015 Tacoma SR5 from my sister who’s husband passed. Back than I told him to get a Toyota after a string of Dodges. This gives me confidence I’m buying a great truck for sure. Originally I was getting the truck cleaned up to help sell it for my sister. I own a Ram 2500 diesel and it seemed kinda small. Driving the truck got me used to it being small, but not a mini truck size like I had when I was a teenager. After owning this truck for 16 years I was ready for something simpler and cheaper to maintain. I look forward to owning this truck!
Any 1st or 2nd gen, just look out for rust and you’ll be good. I personally hate the 3.5. Its supposed to have more power but in the wrong power band. That’s just me 🤷♂️
I have a 2015 Tacoma with about 39,000 miles on it. I really like it but I don’t like the gas mileage it gets but overall it does what it I need it to do. I have plans on changing out the wheels and tires for now.
@@creed6480 I have the 4.0 L attached with a super charge. The last time I dyno I hit 340hp at 374lb ft. I don’t recommend tune ups to owners unless they are knowledgeable about engines. You can void your warranty and cause mass damage if the right balance is not inline. I work as an auto engineer so my experience takes over.

I’ve never had a vehicle before that was that good when it comes to wear items like tires, breaks, ect. Highly recommend.
I bought a 2010 with 47k miles, 4.0L, 2wd. Have 61k miles on it now and has been very pleasant to drive, light and nimble, trouble free miles. I recommend full synthetic oil changes every 5k miles and drain and fill the tranny at 50k miles, do this every 10-15k miles until you've done this process 4 times since you can only get 3quarts out of the drain fills each time you do it.
😊 I have a 2003 I purchased it with 256,000 mi on it and I haven't had a problem except with my brakes and I've had it for 2 years 😊 I have only put on 30,000 mi and it's still running great.
I bought a 95 tacoma best truck iv ever owned 334,444 on it now. still going strong
Nice👍
Just bought a 2014 Tacoma base w/ 15k in better than the "pro" adds. 178k mi. on it. Test drove it over the continental divide for 2 hrs, from Golden the Eisienhower tunnel & back. It is by far the best truck out there! None compare. I'm a fighter jet Marine, saying that. Also the best car out there is the mdl 3 Tesla, bang for the buck. They require next to 0 maintence, & 1/3 the energy cost.
As for the Tacoma's, I believe the 2004 and the 2015 Tacomas are the best mid size trucks ever built!! Love the 4.0 litre engine and no problem transmission. Best i performance!
Wish the 4.0L was still available 👍
Had many Toyota trucks and an FJ. I factory ordered my white 2015 PreRunner crew cab long bed Limited ( the first year they ever offered this trim level on a Tacoma) my buddy owned the dealership and told me the rep had said “ tell your friend we’re sorry he waited so long cuz we waited till the end of production around July of 2025 for the Gen 2 before Will built the custom orders.” He went on to say it was one of the last 2015 Tacomas to roll off the line and one of 6 ever built in that configuration. PreRunner-long bed- Limited- class 4 tow package- JBL sound…loaded. It’s the finest truck I’ve ever owned. 96,800 and some lady just today asked if I got a new truck. BTW I run Goodrich Blizzaks DVM 2’s in the winter and Yokohama’s the rest of year. They both make an incredible difference.
It's been about 2 years now that my wife and I purchased our 2014 TRD Sport 6 speed manual 4.0l. We both still love it.
Awesome 👍
2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma V6, 4.0. Legendary engines.
I have a 2015 Tacoma trd off road
I bought it here in Lebanon in the middle east in year 2020 for 15000$, it was imported from usa, it had 55000 miles now its 100000 miles and still runs good, it was manufactured in Mexico the company name Baja... i just recently changed spark plugs beacuse the check engine light got on and there was missfire on cylinder 3 and 5 , when i changed the spark plugs the codes got cleared and everything is ok, i changed also the transmission fluid , i put dexron 6 red color fluid
It got 12 quarts! I did fill and drain, i change regulary the engine oil every 5000 miles.
And i changed the coolant in radiator and changed also the air filter. :)
The Taco 2015 is the best ever tacoma model! Its much better then the 1st and the 3rd gene.:)
Hello! I have a 2014 2WD from new (10 Yrs. now), besides the regular maintenance I only spent $520 extra on a worn out gasket. I got it lifted and bigger tires for 5 years, and no issues at all. Over 98K sMiles.
LOL, I got a 2020 Tacoma 2.7L double access SR5 and had no issues at all with it. Plus, it has the wide-screen display for navigation and entertainment. I would get a 2020-2022 Tacoma over the older ones.
2010 with the 4.0 300k + miles and still running strong
Nice👍
Have you changed the spark plugs?
2005 Tacoma TRd Sport with 200k miles and still run like day 1. Everything works, except the compass.
I still have a 2007 Tacoma with 290,000 miles. Runs like a champ!!
That’s great👍
Like my 07' with 188k more than i do my 20' with 11k
Still loving my 2007 with only 138,000!😊
I have a 2015 4cyl base Tacoma. I bought it with 60k. It now has 130k. Its still early, but so far so good. Only “problems” were an AC part, and a valve cover gasket. Im hoping to get a minimum of 300k out of it.
Generally the last two years of any model/generation of a vehicle are the most reliable. With Tacoma having an unusually long run with each generation (10 years!), it's a sure bet to be good in it's final years.
U are right about 2013-2015 Taco 💯
I have a 2014 Tacoma Pre Runner 162,000 miles - I love it !
What I like best is its pre wired for everything- $30 camera got me rear view camera images
I bought a 2005 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner with the TRD Off-Road package brand new. It’s the best truck I’ve ever owned. My 2005 has only 20,000 total miles on it and runs like it was new.
Do you want to sale it
@@dougware4676 Thanks for asking! I’m picking it up today from the paint shop. The clear coat was fading in a few spots. Still only 20.5k miles on it.
My Tacoma a 2015 TRD OffRoad SR-5 is so dependable. I have taken it from Colorado to Florida to Iowa and back and all over the Midwest and Rockies with no problems.
May 2008 is great truck although it has a 4.0 engine the head gaskets are known to be a problem if you don't change out you coolant on time your truck will be good to go.
I have 162,681 and i do all the timed maintenance i change engine oil at 3,000 miles never over than that.
I just bought a 2006 v6 double cab tacoma with 135,000 and I love it!
How much?
@@ryanlopez4371 I think I paid 12,500 for it.
I got my 2015 Trd sport two years ago it has 97 k I’m so stoked to hear it’s #1. I love it it’s manual transmission I hope to have it for 500k that would be amazing.
That's correct on your assessments. My friends had issues from 2016-2018.
I have a 2011. Bought used in 2013. 286000 miles presently. New frame.. Thank you Toyota! Leaf springs replaced after they broke from a heavy load of flooring.. oops.. I love this truck! The only thing happening at the moment is the torque converter is acting up.. I will get the transmission replaced before I buy a new one.. Tundra next! If I have to part with this Tacoma..
2014 sr5 stick 5 speed shift manual with cruise control. got 166000 with no issues at all
I love my 2015 more every day. Just drove it 3000 miles for vacation.
I have a 2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD off road and I love it I also have the rear locking differential it is the best truck I’ve ever owned
My '14 Taco has been very reliable. No real issues except the for the oxidation of the roof paint, which appears to be an all to common problem with Tacoma, even with regular waxing and mostly being garaged, it still is a problem.
2013. 33k miles. Loaded. Perfect. I can sell it here in Hawaii for more than it cost new.
i have a 2013 TRD Sport double cab long bed 2x4 4.0 V6 automatic. I bought it used in 2016 with 52K miles. I just hit 172K miles. Wish it was 4x4 but don’t really need that living in San Diego. That being said, I’ve driven the truck (from San Diego) to; Phoenix (x3), Las Vegas, Humboldt Redwood State Park (x2) and Portland, Oregon (x3). It’s my daily driver…. oh, and I worked part time delivering pizza with Dominos for two and a half years. Thing is a beast. Added a Snugtop Rebel camper shell last year and fell in love with the truck all over again.
I had 2014 great truck 4.0 no problems plenty power
If the current model only had that 4.0L engine!!😁
I loved my 2012 TRD Sport 4x4!! Actually shed tears when I traded her in for the 2020 (same model) she only had 64k and I got 8k less than what I paid for her brand new...thats crazy! Of course my 2020 is worth a lot more than what I paid for as it only has 4900 miles on it. But Im not trading her in...put a lot in on mods and of course the regear. Shes awesome now because the regear she shifts so smooth and no hunting...but i did love that 2012.
@@johnnyrebel3340 oh didnt mean to give u the impression she doesnt run well...she does. Its the pairing of the engine and gear ratios that cause a lot of gear hunting. As far as taking a loss...my Toyotas have kept their value...I didnt think my 2012 would bring nearly as much as it did and right now my 2020 is worth 8 more grand than what I paid for it (which was Jan 2020 right before the Covid crap set in. So right now she actually could make money for me but wouldnt trade her. Shes got the mods that I want and shes tuned perfectly, smooth and seamless shifting on hills etc.
I normally would say never buy new...but the 2012 was brand new and it was a little overpriced but thats the area around here but she more than compensated for that when I did trade her in. Now I did buy one new Ford 2004 F150 4x4...and lordy talk about depreciation! But everybody is pretty much happy right now with what they are they are getting trade in wise. I just wouldn't buy anything with the way the market is now. I just lucked out getting mine when I did.
Currently working on a deal for 2006 tacoma lifted w 160000 miles but heard the engines are bulletproof!
What kind of money are they asking?
Just keep the engine coolant changed out on a 4yr time not a 5yr
My 4 cylinder 2015 PreRunner SR5 is awesome. It’s equipped with Fox 2.5 DSC shocks and coil lovers icon upper control arms, icon rxt leaf pack and 275/70/17’s I haven’t been stuck in a Jersey winter yet.
Nice👍
I do have a 2013 Toyota Tacoma , lifted Runs great
I have a 2015 Tacoma double cab with a 6’ bed. Best truck I’ve ever had.
I bought 2005 Toyota Tacoma TRD brand new with 1 mi and now has 300,000 miles on it and never left me stranded
I hope you're correct. I just bought a 2014 TOYOTA TACOMA Prerunner SR5 V6. Only 8oK miles on it and super clean.
I just got one 2014 is a gem wonderful is nice ,strong smooth 115 miles
Forget to mention is the xsp-X is beautiful
I own a 2015 tacoma with 47,000 miles on it and it's the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned
Great to hear👍👍
@@RobMotive I love your videos and all your information rob 😃👍
Thanks Michael and thanks for watching 👍
Have a '05 with 299,000 miles with just regular maintenance. Bought a '18 and getting rid of it. Nice truck but does not feel as solid or as strong as the '05. The 3.5 is supposed to have more horsepower than the 4.0 and it might but the 4.0 has better torque. Agree with you. 2013-2015 is what I will be looking for. Now if I can only find one with low mileage, haha.
I just got a 2015 SR5, and I love it! Looks and runs like brand new! I have all the service records, clean one owner. Had four other ones sold out from under me before I found this one, but it's far nicer than the others!, Not a TRD, but it's well suited for my usage!
Sounds great! Congrats 👍
2014-2015 most reliable Tacoma, with enough tech.
I bought my 15 taco new off the lot. 140k mi and just as tight as day one. I have kept up on maintenance as the truck is designed to do so. Super easy dyi from regular engine oil, power steering fluid, Trans fluid and coolent replacement.
Still loving my 13 TRD off road 4x4 TXPro. I own it and she still feels nice and solid , no new sounds or mechanical gremlins at all
That's great! Just the way it should be👍
I have a 2013 4wd, crew cab, 4.0, Bought it used with high miles and to look at it, it looks like it wasn't over 50,000 miles. Its gorgeous, a couple of nicks and scratches, paint looks great. I've only had it less than a year. During that time, its gotten my whole attention. So far I've replaced the carrier bearing, a U-joint, the battery, the plugs, the coils, the A/C blower. I'm getting ready to turn 250,000 miles real soon, but I love this truck. It's the nicest vehicle I've ever owned.
That’s great! Sounds awesome 👍
My 2015 trd off road has 160 thousand miles on it. I bought it new and after eight years of ownership and all those miles the only things I've had to replace was the front brakes at 130k miles and two bulbs, that's it. I'm never selling it.
That’s great👍
Just snagged a clean 2015 TRD Sport w/ tow pkg so I guess I hit the jackpot. Wish it was an Off-road but, hell, you can't have everything😷. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks for watching 👍
I’m very happy with my 2023. Last year of the naturally aspirated
I've got a 2013 double cab pre runner with 128k miles. I'm thinking I want to upgrade to the 4x4 TRD off road double cab in a few years, but honestly I love my truck. It's smooth and feels great to drive. It's actually not that bad on insurance pricing, and it feels quality. Mine is a bit cosmetically lacking but overall it's nice in magnetic metallic gray. I mainly bought it because my anxiety about the Nissan cvt I had in my daily before. I didn't want to get stuck with a 4k repair bill over Nissan quality being garbage. My only complaints are how much a tank of gas cost and a new set of 265/70/16 all terrains are.
I just bought my first truck ever and it's a 2013 Toyota Tacoma Crew cab just love it. Many adventures to come.
Congrats 👍
Last summer I found a 2011 V-6 extended cab. So far only issue was a split power stearing line. It runs like a newer model, no rattles etc.
2013 Sport 4x4 with 70K miles. I love my truck.
2014 Taco here love it. Got it for a steal.
Awesome 👍👍
Just bought a silver 2015 dcsb prerunner with 4.0 auto and has under 56k miles! So far I'm loving it... Came from an pos Altima so it's a little bit of an adjustment with the mpg but other than that it's better in everyway
Congrats! That’s great👍
I have the top of the line version of 2013 Toyota TRD 4x4 Off-road with all the bells and whistle, including all-track, downhill assist and rear differential locks. I take IT off road, drive it EVERYWHERE, NEVER GOT STUCK. I've also NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH MY TACOMA which is powered BY a 4.0 liter V-6 engine which is SUPER POWERFUL and VERY FAST. I replaced the stereo system with a top of the line Pioneer system which came with wireless apple car play and internal navigation. I am planning to keep my Tacoma as long as I live. It's THE BEST TRUCK EVER BUILT!!!
Thank you for sharing I’ve been looking to purchase a used one made in the USA or Japan. What do you recommend. WhereI live the roads are bad. Thanks
@@juanitamaddox2282 My 2013 Tacoma TRD 4x4 Off-road is made in USA. I don't think it matters when it comes toTacoma. They are extremely well built and super reliable. That said, I would try to stay away from Made in Mexico.
I have a 2013 TRD Sport, 4dr. Bought it new and has 112k. Changed all fluids at 75k. No major problems. I would love to have a power seat, but don’t know which past model year to buy.
I just bought a 2013 TRD Sport yesterday. I hope it will serve me well.
My 013 was great. It never needed a repair. My '99 Odyssey on the other hand needed a new transmission at 50k!
I’m about to buy a 2015 Tacoma SR5 from my sister who’s husband passed. Back than I told him to get a Toyota after a string of Dodges. This gives me confidence I’m buying a great truck for sure. Originally I was getting the truck cleaned up to help sell it for my sister. I own a Ram 2500 diesel and it seemed kinda small. Driving the truck got me used to it being small, but not a mini truck size like I had when I was a teenager. After owning this truck for 16 years I was ready for something simpler and cheaper to maintain. I look forward to owning this truck!
Congrats! I’m sure you’ll love it👍
@@RobMotive Thanks!
I had a 2017 and sold it to buy a 2015 and I like it much better
Just ordered a 2023 Tacoma TRD Pro, I’m going to sell my 2015 sport long bed and I hope I don’t regret it.
I’m surprised you can still order the ‘23🤔
Any 1st or 2nd gen, just look out for rust and you’ll be good. I personally hate the 3.5. Its supposed to have more power but in the wrong power band. That’s just me 🤷♂️
Oh I agree with you! The 4.0 was much better👍
You need to regear the 3rd gen. Then you have an amazing truck.
@@fernandovasquez5251 i agree but who wants to spend 1500-2000 right out the door on a brand new truck 🤷♂️
I bought a 2018 Gen 3, sport 4x4 Limited Inferno Orange. I bought it 2 months ago and I love it.
Nice. Congrats👍
I have a 2015 Tacoma with about 39,000 miles on it. I really like it but I don’t like the gas mileage it gets but overall it does what it I need it to do. I have plans on changing out the wheels and tires for now.
Wow low mileage my 2015 taco has 140,000 and I feel like that’s low mileage!
My 2007 Tacoma prerunner still runs strong even after 600k miles, no main issue.
Very nice.
Wow…4.0 or 2.7?
@@creed6480 I have the 4.0 L attached with a super charge. The last time I dyno I hit 340hp at 374lb ft. I don’t recommend tune ups to owners unless they are knowledgeable about engines. You can void your warranty and cause mass damage if the right balance is not inline. I work as an auto engineer so my experience takes over.
