    Looking at this truck tomorrow. What do you guys/gals think? I want to put coilovers on to level it but I saw that the cv boots fail and I don't want to deal with that(when I was younger had to do that a bunch of times on a ford)

    Any info to help me decide if I should buy it would be helpful.

    I am fighting myself not to buy a left over quicksand SR5

    It sounded like a well maintained truck. It has low miles and no rust. I would buy it.

    2017. I figured I could put the 18 headlights in it and be good to go.

    Dang, that looks nice! If I didn't need a bigger back seat and saw something like that when I was looking I'd be all over it.

    It looks like what I need but I do like leveling all my trucks and it seems that its kind of 50 50 if the cv boots will leak. The other trucks I am looking at are 5.8 liter mid 90's gas F150 or F250s

    Looks like it was well maintained, if it were me, I'd go look at and ask to test drive make sure everything works blows cold hot a/c 4wd engages no issues with motor no visible leaks

    Well I went and looked at it. Really great condition all the way around. I just felt cramped in it. I’ll keep searching

    Yeah when I was leaving they said they had someone from New Jersey coming to buy it if I didn't want the truck. Who knows if they will show up Craigslist is a pain lol

    No kidding. I paid $15,000 Canadian pesos for my 2005 double cab TRD off road with 128,000KMS (79,500 miles) a little under 2 years ago.

    Currently has 160,000KMS and if I were to lose my mind and sell it I wouldn't accept a penny under $13K

    You must be a big dude to feel cramped in an AC. I don't feel cramped in my RC and I'm not a 'petite'. :cheers:

    Sweet. Love these stories of Tundras holding value. Heard a Yankee say they can’t find any of the older Tundras up there due to that rusting issue. He said one could get top dollar up north compared to down south.
