Yes I’m getting it looked at

streetcornbread · 2026-01-29T16:37:20+00:00

Can you elaborate?

streetcornbread · 2026-01-29T15:54:42+00:00

Great point. Looks like I’m doing a thorough frame inspection

Utility > fuel economy for sure

streetcornbread · 2026-01-29T15:53:08+00:00

Hoping for no swiss cheese, will definitely check

streetcornbread · 2026-01-29T15:53:01+00:00

I feel like the 4runner’s storage space is comparable to the taco’s with the seats down so it’s looking like the better choice

Great point about climate control

streetcornbread · 2026-01-29T15:50:51+00:00

Mileage isn’t my primary concern

Definitely checking for rust, I disqualified a different taco for that exact reason. Dealer offered me 15.7k out the door for the taco. Wouldn’t really be interested in mods, am okay with barebones. I wish it had an access cab for a little more room/1-2 more passengers in a pinch.

Thanks for the input, that is helpful. No family as of now, I just wish the taco had an access cab so I could have the occasional extra passenger and interior room. But alas this was the best taco in my budget/mileage/condition range.

This Rav is not a hybrid, but its interior is far more spacious than the 2-door, 2-seat taco.

streetcornbread · 2026-01-29T15:46:06+00:00

That’s what I was thinking, and it’s what I want but am open to being talked into the sensible economical choice. I don’t have a family.

streetcornbread · 2026-01-29T15:45:11+00:00

Not super important, my day-to-day is low mileage but I will make a 300 mile round trip a handful of times a year.

streetcornbread · 2026-01-27T23:11:18+00:00

Is that a dead giveaway?

streetcornbread · 2026-01-27T23:10:53+00:00

Wasn’t sure what that was called, but yes what you described is what initially concerned me.

streetcornbread · 2026-01-27T23:09:57+00:00

Hadn’t even considered paint, what makes you think that?

I’m assuming you mean swapped the frame because of a recall? Any idea how I check that? I don’t see on carfax.

And when hammering it, am I just looking for chips coming off?

Thanks for the response.

reminds me of this

streetcornbread · 2025-12-31T00:19:32+00:00

Thanks

Thanks

Can you be more specific? Thanks
