And, how does the frame look? I think that truck is part of the big Toyota truck rusty frame recall, you might get lucky if the previous owner didn't already try getting the credit for it.

Yep, it's a 2.4 4 cylinder. IIRC, it's got about 155k on it, with good maintenance. It's not too dirty looking under the hood, and what is there is to be expected for a 13 year old truck.

From what I could see of the frame by getting under the truck while it's in the guy's yard, the frame has typical surface rust for being a NY/PA (Twin Tiers) vehicle. If it's bad, I might take it to a dealer and have them check it out.

How did that recall work? Did they just swap frames, or replace the vehicle?
