    Hey guys, going to check out a 2016 Tundra TRD Pro tomorrow, and looking for some insight on specific things to be aware of.

    67k miles, 1-owner, always dealer serviced, quicksand, crewmax.

    I am well versed when it comes to private party sales just new to the Toyota Tundra world. Looking for any areas on this gen that is prone to leaks and any other potential headaches to avoid.

    Super excited to finally be joining the Toyota gang!

    Damn, unless you are in the salt belt, dealer serviced and 1-owner!! There shouldn't be much wrong with the truck unless the previous owner beat the shit out of it. I have almost 68k on my '18, dealer serviced, and nary a problem since purchased.

    Leaks. Bring your flashlight. Front timing cover leaks, Valve cover gasket leaks, etc. Crawl under there and look for any leaks.

    Thank you! I’ve been all over Audi, Cummins, Jeep, etc forums and I hate to be the guy who asks the question that has been answered, super busy up until I’m going to see it so I really appreciate you guys!
