    I bought a year of Consumer Reports to research when I was looking at my Taco a few years back as well as my Tundra (and tried to help my sister when she bought her POS Escalade that ended up breaking down before 100k and had most of the problems listed on CR for the ‘07)
    Gives you a break down of reliability, known issues for each year, which are better, what changed, etc..

    2"CB shackles, bushings and 1 shim, lockerdown console vault, rear folding seat back mod, snugtop shell with opening side windows, 46g fuel tank, SDHQ sliders and hidden winch, Decked Drawers, Alcan leaf springs and got rid of the interior chrome
    You also can search on Wikipedia. It will provide a pretty accurate record of all problems, recalls and defects, by year and model.

    Hey Billy, sorry I didn't see/respond sooner. I have a 2008 and it has been perfect for the 50k of fairly hard miles that I have put on it thus far. The body style is the exact same from 2008-2017 and in 2018 the headlights, grill, and tail lights were changed but all of these can be added to a 2008 and up model. The interior is mostly the same as well as I think the steering wheel was the only real change in 2014? My advice is to find yourself a relatively low mile platinum model and snag it before someone else does. I say platinum bc not only is there leather and other amenities but because it is the only model with the laser cruise control that speeds up and slows down automatically depending on the flow of traffic. Hope this helps....and when you buy one and are ready to drop some coin on upgrading/modernizing it, take a look at our build threads.
