    First one; more comfort creatures and it being a limited may retain the resale value longer while the miles start adding.

    #1. Decent tires on it already and the Limited features do keep the value up more than a SR5. I just did a NADA check and with my 14's current mileage and condition the mid trade in value in Denver was over $26.5K and high retail a bit over $30K which is crazy. So.....go with number 1:thumbsup:

    My 07 had no AIP issues at 12 years old. I wouldn't be too concerned. It's always a possibility. Moisture is the culprit. Drier climates seem to be best. A Tundra that goes mudding all the time would be very susceptible I would think. An AIP bypass can be had for a couple hundred give or take.

    I don't know which one you SHOULD buy, but I'd take #1 hands down and twice on Sunday.

    YMMV

    Have a 09 , just had AIP issues, installed bypass, no more issues. Easy fix for $450, better than the alternative to replace AIJ values and pumps, $3,000.
