Best Toyota for $15K

[PirateMcGee]

The only public dirt roads around are commonly traversed by stock full size trucks used by the various land management agencies.

I did a quick search on Autotrader.com Below are my very unscientific results for under $16K

4Runner SR5 - 2006 -120K miles
100 Series - 2006 - 175K miles
Tundra SR5 Double Cab - 2008 - 150K miles

Yes, I know better deals can be had on all 3, but this is a typical post I'm seeing in my area 200 mile.


The 100 Series excites me the most but it is also the one I'm the most concerned about with maintenance cost. I have several car friends (non Toyota owners) telling me they would not consider a 175K miles used car. I know the Land Cruisers have a great rep but do they often cost a lot to keep running? They are loaded out luxury cars. I want one but it does scare me.
