SOLD
Purchased in 2010 with 127K on the odometer. 195K now. At some point before I got it, the PO installed a new radiator. I installed a B&M trans cooler in series shortly after I brought it home. This has been a very reliable truck, well-maintained by me and the local Toyota dealership.

The bad...
- There is beginning rust on undercarriage, see pics. Not hiding anything. NC is humid, truck is always parked outside. After taking pics, I wire-brushed everthing I could reach and sprayed the entire undercarriage with 2 cans of Fluid Film to arrest the rust. Wish I'd heard of this stuff 5 years ago.
- Right rear ABS sensor frozen so ABS is off
- Rear diff lock has never worked. PO never used it and it's frozen.
- Body is in great shape, minor scrapes on one flare and dents in rear bumper from backing too close to stuff (daughters!). Front bumper chipped but not dented.
I love this truck, always have. Had it and a 2000 Limited at the same time and sold the Limited instead. My wife has determined that we need a better road-trip vehicle over her '06 Highlander so I found a 2012 Limited. 3rd gen has to go. I was more than willing to drive it for another year but she's the boss.
I'm in Hillsborough, NC which is about 30 minutes west of RDU airport. Closest "big" town is Chapel Hill.
Asking $6750 for a well-maintained Sport, never off-roaded or taken on the beach.
