    Bought my '03 extended cab stepside Limited TRD Sport 12 years ago and finally reached 65K miles. Been enjoying the 11-13 mpg with the 4-speed auto all these years. Just don't put enough miles on it to justify buying anything newer. It rattles and is noisy but does everything I need it to do. I would like to get the rear end down a couple or 3 inches level with the front but haven't found a lowering kit specific to the model. Heard that some have adapted a Chevy kit to work. Now that I'm fast closing in on 71 years, it's hard to get in and out of the bed with it so high. Overall, has been completely trouble free and routine maintenance is all that's ever been done to it. Engine is as dry as the day it left the factory.

    Nice truck! Would probably be worth a lot if you decide to trade it in.
