Toyota Tacoma

Thorough Frame Inspection: Prioritize checking the frame for rust, especially near suspension mounts and crossmembers.

Check Lower Ball Joints: Ensure recall service was performed or inspect for play/wear; replace if questionable.

Inspect for Fluid Leaks: Pay attention to differential, transfer case, and engine oil leaks, common on older vehicles.

Test 4WD System: Engage 4WD high and low to ensure proper function and no unusual noises.

Review Service Records: Look for consistent maintenance, especially for major components like timing belts (V6) and drivetrain fluids.

Consider Import Costs: Factor in shipping, customs duties, and certification when buying from the USA.
