I've got a much older Tundra, 2001 with the 4.7 and if that is what is in your 06, it will serve you well. I have 270K miles on mine on the original motor and tranny and it has never left me stranded. It does have a timing belt that needs to be changed every 60,000 miles although I've got over 100,000 on my current. I know some of the later Tundras had V6 in them and while I hear it's reliable I trust my 4.7 and think it will go another 150-200K with maintenance.

Anyway he has an '06 Tundra with almost just under 60k on the clock. Always garaged, never worked. It was basically a grocery getter, and very well cared for. I have known the ruck since it was new. Dealer trade is ridiculous. NADA wholesale book. He has offered it to me for what the dealer is willing to give him. He didn't give it to the dealer, so still has it.
What are the known issues with these other than needing a timing belt? I have no need\ for it, but still having a hard time passing on it. No desire to profit from it either.
