2001 Toyota Tacoma Extended Cab. 152,540 miles. 5 speed Manual with the legendary 5VZ V6 motor.

In great mechanical condition; runs better than vehicles half its age. Has been meticulously maintained since owner #1. Colorado truck all it's life. Has a few scratches and small dings, as any truck 19 years old would. Interior is in fantastic shape. Always a non-smoker vehicle.

Miscellaneous goodies:

In the last month or so, I have changed the front and rear diff fluids (after new 4.88 gearing break-in procedure); oil change with new OEM filter and crush washer. Transmission was drained and refilled last summer. Transfer case was drained and refilled last summer as well. Belts, pulleys and tensioners all have been replaced within the last 2-3 years.

This this runs strong. With the new gearing it has power and acceleration that a lot of older Toyotas do not. Never had any mechanical issues; this truck is an off-road machine. I don't rock crawl and any trail I've put it on it has aced. The 3" mid-travel (vs. long travel) suspension flexes and conforms to trail surfaces and this truck just wants to go up and over stuff in 4L. You won't find a better truck with all the upgrades for the money.

Asking $17,000.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. I will accept cash or certified cashier's check. Please do not contact me if you don't have anywhere near the asking price. Clean Colorado title (in hand).

Will consider trades for a full-sized truck of equal value. Am looking specifically for a similar aged Toyota Tundra 4WD. Thanks for looking.
