Found a 96 SR5 with only 70,000

[Aggie03]

Drove it today and it is in great shape, very new tires, and had the timing work done at 57,000 in 2001. It is Carfax certified and just has under 70k on it.
Dealer wants 10,000 for it and is reasonable on my trade.

What should I look for and what do you think???

Thanks
Brad

It is 4wd right? If it is and you want to venture off-road look for the all important E-locker which will be a button located right next to the dimmer control for the dash just lower left of the steering wheel marked *RR DIFF LOCK*.

no, only certain 96-00's.

look for the button. if you dont see the button, you dont have the e-locker.

I believe you could get the rear locker on an SR5 as well. It was an option on both models.

Here's some history on the 3rd gens year by year
