Up for sale is a 1999 regular cab Tacoma 4x4 short bed with a 5 speed manual transmission. I purchased this truck 9/25/06 from a gentleman that was selling it because he needed something bigger due to a baby on the way. I am now selling it for the same exact reason. Both adult owners have maintained it meticulously…as you will see when you purchase it. While it is capable, it honestly hasn’t left the pavement outside of a dirt road or two.
The only flaw of the vehicle, outside of any normal wear and tear (but hardly much of that, if any), is the previous owner apparently used the hitch on the bumper to pull a jet ski or something, and somehow he bent the bumper just a tad where the ball goes in (see pic)…you could probably just bang it back to perfect, but I never tried. He subsequently put on a real hitch. The issue appears only as cosmetic in nature and not all that noticeable.
It runs and drives perfectly and everything is operational. It is extremely clean!
The traction enhancement (Powertrax no slip) might be considered a little annoying to the average person- i.e., tires squealing when doing tight turns; and it also made a slight quirk with having to lower the RPMs way down prior to shifting to 3<sup>rd</sup> gear. It can also be clunky when using cruise control on occasion (getting on/off gas). I put in the powertrax no slip, because I hated how right rear tire spun on wet pavement and so forth, and I intended to use the truck to get to some fishing holes and hunting spots that are off the beaten path so I liked the gobs of traction it offers - but we end up taking another vehicle every time. I was planning on putting back in the spider gears and make it stock again to make it an easier sell, but wanted to see if someone here wanted it just the way it is before I go to this trouble.
At this point I’m not really interested in the hassle of selling any of the parts separately right now. I would rather sell the truck as is with the extras to some lucky person. But if no bites, I might have a powertrax no-slip, coilovers, sliders, 7 air filters, and some floor matts for sale soon. I might even sell the undercover for local pickup only. Keep a lookout for an update.
The only other negative thing I can possible think of is that the upgraded suspension squeaks a little bit, but you really can’t notice it when driving.
This truck looks amazing and drives great- no disappointments here! I would like it to go to a good home.
