2006 pre-runner

[7echo]

Found a 2006 PR Taco for sale, 101,000 miles and looks ok from a brief walk around. I am arranging for a test drive tomorrow.

Any comments on what to look for as far as known issues/problems?

Thanks!

i would get a 4x4

I don't need a 4x4 at this point, just a dependable truck that can tote the family and gear.

What is the timing belt schedule for this year model?

I'm going to assume you're looking at the V-6 model..... I traded my 06 V-6 TRD Prerunner in on a 2011 FJ in March.....

1. NO timing belt, chain drive for all 4 cams

2. At 100K have the tranny serviced if it's an automatic. Scan tool and special fluid req'd

3. Hope that the previous owner had the rear springs replaced under warrenty as per the TSB. The truck will bottom the suspension on a grocery run stock. replacement springs have 4 leaves vs 3 on the stockers

4. The limited slip rear diff is much stronger than the E-Locker diff

5. Spark Plugs are due every 30K. Very easy to do, 45mins the first time 20 mins the 2nd
