Used 2009 Toyota Tacoma for Sale

My Toyota Tacoma is a great truck for what I need. When I purchased it used, it had the check engine light on and was running in limp mode. Since I got the money issues fixed it had served me very well! I find the ability to go off-road very useful. I can drive into a field and not worry about getting stuck because I have four wheel drive. The only time I got it stuck was when I tried to buck an 18 inch snow drift and got pushed off the track into even deeper snow. I had to dig a lot of snow away before I was able to get it out. I have not used it to pull anything so can't comment on it's towing ability. I did overload it with bricks once and loaded them back too far causing the steering to be very "floaty" and dangerous. Fortunately I didn't have far to go and it was on back roads! Overall I find my truck to be very useful for small hauling jobs with the ability to do medium jobs well and capable of heavy hauling in a pinch.

You can not go wrong with a Toyota and I needed a truck for house projects and getting out into the mountains. Toyota's quality is top notch and their vehicle longevity is second to none. I purchased the truck with 35,000 miles and everything still felt extremely solid and nothing had fallen off or worn down. I bought the standard, no-frills edition because I wanted a truck that would work for a long time. The interior has clean lines, dials are easy to access and work, and everything cleans up well. There are plenty of cup holders. The 4WD system works incredibly well even over some of the craziest "roads" I've ever been on. Since this is the standard cab, there is not a lot of room for storing extras but there is some room behind and underneath the seat. Steering is comfortable and even on the highway it rides incredibly well for a bench seat truck.

I bought the base SR5 because it is simple and no frills but goes above and beyond getting the job done. I liked the fact that it has a full length truck bed, has four-wheel drive which means it's capable of going almost anywhere and that there are few electrical features that are easy to break and expensive to replace. The quality is basic in this trim so there is no leather and everything in the interior is plastic but that's fine because it's Toyota so it's going to last a long time. The five-speed shifts smoothly and the motor runs easy and maintenance is low.
