    Alright guys so I have a 1st gen tundra and ran into a neighbor that is selling his 2014 1794 edition with 160K. What should I look for and what is an ideal price.

    Aside from seeing what maintenance records he has, I would check for cam tower leaks on both sides of the motor. Not a deal killer, but if it has it, could be a negotiating point to get the price down.

    Thank you that does look like a big pain to replace on both sides.

    In NJ, I would say rust would be the first thing I'd be checking for. How much wear on the paint around the hitch safety chain loops would be relatively high on the list also.
