Looking for a 2000 era tacoma. Prefer ext cab, V-6, auto (for the wife), TRD.

Anything I should know? desirables? Stay ways?

What is your opinion

Just make sure you get the TRD package.

i got a 99 xtracab limited 4x4 trd tacoma.

I love it.. if it has around 90k, make sure they did the timing belt and 90k service or be prepared to do it yourself. I made that mistake.

The TRD has the rear locker (make sure it is there - button on the left side of the dash)
If I didn't mind autos, I would go with the double cab. There isn't much room in the "extra" part of the xtra-cab. Check CV boots/axles/steering rack for leaks.

I always take a good look at the skid plates underneath. If they are bent to sh*t then you will know that the truck has been abused.

Well, I'm selling my samurai, paying off the wifes car, then selling my 86 toyota turbo truck and buying a tacoma. I'm finding the TRD's might be out of our price range, not sure yet. We plan on coming up to Portland when we're ready to buy and looking up there as they are cheaper and more abundant up there.

If a TRD isn't within our pricerange, then there is always the ARB option.

Thanks on the 90k mile service. Any inherant problems w/ the V-6? Or the Auto transmission?

Thanks for the imput! We're looking forward to out future purchase!
