1999 Toyota Tacoma SR5 V6 Extended Cab
3.4L 5VZ-FE V6 | 4-Speed Automatic | White / Gray Cloth | Snugtop Camper Shell & Roof Rack | A/C
The 1999 Tacoma SR5 with the 3.4L 5VZ-FE V6 is one of the most capable and sought-after configurations of the first-generation Tacoma — a platform that earned its reputation through documented reliability and a loyal owner following. This truck has been driven daily, serviced consistently at independent shops across Montana, Idaho, Colorado, and New Mexico, and comes with an extensive paper trail going back to at least 2018. Key mechanical items addressed in the past two years include a rear oxygen sensor, MAF sensor, throttle body cleaning, synthetic transmission fluid exchange, alternator and drive belt replacement, brake fluid flush, rear brake clean and adjust, and a fresh oil change with new air filter as of November 2025. The Snugtop camper shell and ladder-style roof rack are included and expand the utility profile significantly. Buyers looking for a working-class truck with a documented life rather than a mystery vehicle will find this one worth a close look in person.

Recalls & Known Generation Issues: NHTSA issued a frame corrosion extended service program (Campaign 08V677000) for first-generation Toyota Tacoma trucks. The consignor confirms no open recall work is outstanding on this vehicle. Buyers may independently verify at nhtsa.gov by VIN or with any Toyota dealer prior to purchase. The 5VZ-FE generation is known for MAF sensor sensitivity, which has been addressed on this vehicle. Cylinder misfire was diagnosed in July 2024 on cylinders 2 and 3; spark plugs were subsequently replaced by the owner after that visit.
