Buying First Tundra 08

Very interested in a 2008 TRD Double Cab 4x4 with about 103k. Any big service items in the history that should've been done or things to look out for, anticipate in the future on this 4.7 V8? Will be piling up some highway miles towing a small pop up trailer and doing some light off road use.

Dealer said the frame was replaced by Toyota, the water pump was replaced in 2015, this is low miles for the year, carfax looks decent, miles legit no accidents, serviced pretty regularly. This would be my first real truck so appreciate any help, thank you!

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! Looks like a great find! Not bad mileage for a 13 year old truck!

 

Welcome from Alaska

 

When the water pump was done, was that also the timing belt? That would tend to big the big item with the 4.7.

 

Check for bed rust.

 

At that mileage and age:
replace timing belt- super important! if it breaks it can destroy the engine. There are other maintenance items replaced during this service too.
spark plugs
drain and fill all fluids, grease all zerks
crawl up under it and look for any rust, check bushings, suspension
