Please, Give me the rundown...

I'm looking at a 2004 Tacoma Extended Cab, V6, 5-Speed, 4x4 SR5 TRD... 44,000 miles, looks to be in great condition. I haven't driven it, yet.

How do these trucks do w/ a 6'8" or a 7'4" lightweight plow? What kind of mileage are you guys getting? Is the electronic rear locker effective? I haven't checked out the interior or test driven it, yet... Anything to look for? or pay close attention to?

My main snow removal jobs are: my 1 mile gravel drive, a few small commercial lots, and some residentials... Will this truck get those done w/o too much damage or premature wear?

During the summer months, the truck would be used for my construction company...

Give me the skinny... Any info greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance,

The rear diff lock will be a miracle worker when plowing snow.

I have this exact truck.

I love it.

I get 17-19MPG. I tow a ~1000lb trailer quite a bit and get the same numbers.

The locker is Excellent, and has gotten my ass out of some sticky mud.

Anything more specific, just send it my way and I'll try to help you out.
