Just traded in my 07 yesterday. TRD offroad Crewmax, 5.7 moonroof. Had 62k miles on it. Keep in mind, I don't like things not in excellent condition so the maintenance I did could have been prolonged more than likely.
Replaced tires once.
Did brakes twice and bought extra set of rotors to make swapping them out easier on a floor jack.
Spark plugs at 50K
Serp belt around 50k.
Tranny, TC, front and rear diff. fluids replaced.
double sided tape on the black thing in top corner of window failed and that flapped around til I fixed it.
left windshield wiper constantly "failed" to where I had to keep a wrench in the door in the winter time to keep tightening that hex head down.
The bed floor rusted horribly in the bottom front on both sides and I had it repaired by dealer, 4 times. The back floor of the bed, by the tailgate, both sides, looked horrid when I traded it in. They were balking at fixing it due to being 7 years old. It was obviously rusting from underneath and you could clearly see the spot welds rusting out.....
The tailgate bottom started to bubble and I got it fixed by dealer. He tried the "something kicked up and hit it" and I asked him how in the hell could something hit it there with 5" of bumper sticking out???
The e-brake cables, both sides completely rotted off and the controller arm for these needed replaced. Big dollars to pass inspection. When the tech showed me this on the rack, the whole bottom of my truck looked terribly rusted. I live in PA. I traded it in due to this, the bed, and I would need new tires next year making the first year's new payments free essentially with these repairs. I got 17k for my truck, as is, in trade.
The ride was getting rough (just a little loose) as well and I was going to have to invest in some suspension parts to get it back to near-original.
The clock on that thing was always wrong, especially in summer time for whatever reason???
Tow hitch all rusted, and I never used it once. All of the black metal on there was rusted.
In 7 years, I was never able to find the cold weather kit that allegedly has the washer fluid heater or whatever. I called it a Bigfoot feature, I heard a lot about it, but never saw it once.......
Also I think the radio antenna wire came loose somewhere as radio stations would fade in and out to static and not due to location. It happened on way to Pittsburgh airport and I literally drove right past WDVE and it was static.
All in all, great truck though. Most of what I listed is probably somewhat expected but I can't stomach less than pristine. Just bothers me. I wasn't overly excited about trading it off to say the least. My 15 is the first new truck I have ever had that I wasn't jacked about getting. I had plans on being payment-free for another five years, or so.........
