2006 Toyota Tundra double cab, 2wd

252,600 miles

White with tan leather interior

XS-P pkg with 20” BBS wheels, 295/45R20 tires, chrome running boards

Toyota 4.7 V8 (2UZ-FE, 270 HP VVT) engine with 5-speed auto trans, factory limited slip, factory trans cooler

four section hinged tonneau cover 

I’m the 2nd owner - I bought it in May 2018 in an estate sale, at ~249k miles. It was kinda rough. I have a ton of photos and will post anything not shown in the thread linked below, on request.

Haynes manual will be included with truck.

What’s good.......

Body and chassis: No rust ever (Georgia truck since new)

Engine: new Aisin timing belt, water pump, t-stat, accessory belt, belt tensioner, new radiator and hoses, air filter & engine oil, differential oil, transmission oil at 249k (summer 2018 - have Blackstone report for the prior engine oil)

Front suspension rebuilt: new Toyota lower control arms, Toyota lower ball joints, Toyota upper ball joints, Moog upper control arms, Moog front strut/springs (fall 2018)

aligned after front end work. Tracks straight

new iridium spark plugs, valve cover gaskets and battery hold-down (1/2019)

New Moog front sway bar bushings and NAPA sealed away bar end links (2/2019)

new ceramic front brake pads (2/2019)

new idler pulley (2/2019)

newly cleaned throttle body and MAF sensor

replaced PCV valve (3/2019)

new Weathertech front floor mats 

new Toyota front bumper cover 

have Carfax from May 2018

good tire tread depth all around

no rips in leather 

That badass Toyota power rear window 

Final year of the first generation

good solid truck

note: all listed work was performed in last 3k miles. 95% of the work done in my garage by a buddy who is a mechanic. (I helped but mostly watched and learned). Fluids changed at the shop where buddy works. Alignment by a tire shop.

.........and the warts:

DS front door window switch panel is a little loose. It sits down and looks fine but it’ll lift up when you pull on switches if you don’t know to be mindful.

Passenger side power mirror and one foglight inop. On my list to check out but haven’t.

Interior center console lid latch spring broken. It still latches but you have to manually turn the lever to help it.

Tailgate has small dent, tailgate lock ornery.

Back bumper is a little bent (when I bought the truck, it had very light right rear and left front corner damage. Carfax said no airbag deployment which is consistent with the damage I saw. I had the body panels repaired at a body shop. I have many before/after photos, I think some are in the linked post).

The supplemental air injection system is a common problem for this engine. Has a Hewitt Tech SAIS bypass kit that was installed by original owner. Device works as intended but an under hood inspection in the wrong state could be bad news. (Hewitt device is designed to silence the CEL for SAIS failure)

Summary: not perfect but running and looking pretty good. Numerous common and expensive 1st gen Tundra needs have been addressed.

Asking $5,500

Definitely interested. Will PM.

Interested..... interior pics?

Interior pics 

Wheels turned when I shot these. Well planned shoot.

These wrinkles were deliberate, strangely 

Note: I have a clean GA title in hand. It lists the odometer “exempt” for reasons I cannot explain (edit: Georgia titles for vehicle over ten years old all say exempt). What I know is I bought it from the executor of the original owner’s will. Poor guy had to sell his son’s truck. I can tell you I didn’t fiddle with the odometers to make it say 252k!

exterior pics next 

Front bumper cover is new

Right rear fender was resprayed when a dent was repaired last summer

It’s dark now and I just realized I should have shot close-ups of the wheels and tires. Tread is still good. I think the two front tires were new at 249k. Wheels have some curb rash. Not awful but they’re not perfect. The DS rear wheel has some staining that I couldn’t clean off with soap and water. Didn’t try much harder.

Would have to loved to buy - BUT that won't pass CA smog, so have to pass

good luck 

I like it, and FL doesn't have inspections........... :)

I would PM, but it won’t let me , not approved by mods yet..

Cleaned up under hood. Evidence of an unhappy battery at some point in the last 13 years  

Edited original post to document some additional recent work (new parts).

Nice 1st Gen Tundra!  I would have bought this, except my better half found a nice Silverado ext cab a little old man drove to Home Depot on Sundays........  :)

In reply to noemjj :

Thanks. Can’t beat that! 

Wow, I am surprised this hasn’t sold.... 

have you tried any of the Tundra Forums?

if My wife had not found a creampuff of a deal,  I probably would be driving this Tundra....  but I have a Chevy now...  :)

Price is now $5,500

Does anyone know if this truck might be pre-wired for the steering wheel audio controls? As that is one of the more used features of my current Toyota of this same vintage. I imagine it might be plug and play if one had the buttons, or the wheel with the buttons, but I don't know.

Buying Duster’s Subaru Outback. Motivated to sell. 

In reply to Mazdax605 :

I pulled out the parts to have a look.

This truck does not have a cable in the steering column to connect the audio controls that came with my replacement wheel. 

The end. Sold
