2002 Toyota Tacoma SR5 TRD – 3.4L V6 – 4x4 – Extended Cab – Automatic – 305k Miles – OEM+ Maintained & Overland Ready

______________________________________________________SALE PENDING_______________________________________________________________

This white SR5 Extended Cab has been mechanically restored, tastefully upgraded, and adventure-proven (2024 trip from New Mexico to Banff/Calgary, Canada and back), with no leaks and no oil burning.

It’s wearing trail-earned dents and scratches like a badge of honor, but under the skin it’s a well-sorted, turn-key rig ready to drive cross-country or deep into the backcountry tomorrow.

Why This Tacoma Stands Out:

Toyota fans know… finding one with this regular maintenance, no leaks, these upgrades, roof tent, and a clean title is tough to find.

I have carfax and copies of receipts for the big upgrades and purchases I did on the truck.
 
Clean rig but a little steep the market has definitely dropped ..
Thank you, I'm definitely open to offers. I did do market research and given I put $14k to make it mechanically refreshed at OEM+ level, set of 5 Method wheels, "retro/4runner-eque" camper shell and Roof Tent - I figure I should start here.
 
Price drop: $18,000 – OPEN TO OFFERS

(not sure how to edit original post - let me know if I can and I'll update price there as well)
 
Updating price to $16k - let me know if interested. Happy to share information.
 
Why you selling
Love this truck and will miss it... I had to buy a family suv for our new baby and need to sell to put towards the new loan.

No longer a daily for me so I run it a couple times each week though so it doesn't sit.
 
Market isn’t too good right now might be best to hang onto her
yeah, tough after investing so much into it. Baby is due so I had to get the newer vehicle... need to get it paid down.
