Best years for the Toyota Tacoma?

[Steelman]

Well I totaled my car or should I say a deer totaled my car. So I'm looking into a Tacoma by Thursday. I don't buy new cars so I'm looking at 2009 or older.


Any advice or recommendations on which line of Tacomas would be the best value?

2006 SR5 V6 4x4 Double Cab. 80K on the clock. Change the oil, put gas in it & go. 20mpg highway @ 80 mph.

From some forums I've been on, 2004 was suppose to be one of the best years. 2005 had some issues that got worked out (mostly) by 2006 but they should all be pretty decent little trucks.

My 2003 is excellent, 180 K and going strong, I may well be buried in it, a great little truck

Those trucks seem to hold their value quite well! I've thought about trading my car in on one for general homeowner use and was quite shocked when I went looking at newer used prices.
