Carfax wants $50 and I can't find the info with my VIN # on Toyota's site....


of course my blind spot is probably keeping it from me as usual.

if you can't find the vin, you might have copied it down or typed it incorrectly.

or try looking for year, make, model and cylinder count for startes.

or give them to us.............

If we had a back seat we probably wouldn't have 2 family cars and I wouldn't be selling the truck...that bed looks kinda short though :lol:

true.... that's the access cab w/ standard bed.


someone in the parking lot here has the full double cab with the long bed.... thing is as long as a boat. I think the access cab w/ long bed is the way to go.


they also have the new Baja series.... which honestly is not something I'll ever need but must be fun as hell.
