A WASHINGTON TACOMA WITH A SERVICE DIARY THICKER THAN THE OWNERS MANUAL
Tacomas earn their reputation the hard way, and this 2020 TRD Off-Road V6 4x4 Double Cab has the paper trail to back it up. Three Washington owners, from Ephrata to Moses Lake to the Yakima Valley, and 20 service records on the CARFAX, most of them at the same Toyota dealers that sold it. Oil changes on schedule, differentials and transfer case serviced, front brakes done, and its latest full maintenance visit completed at a Toyota dealer this spring. In the interest of full transparency, the CARFAX also notes two minor damage reports from 2024, one of them to the right rear. Both are rated minor, the lowest severity on the scale, meaning cosmetic dents or scratches, with no structural damage and no airbag deployment ever reported, and the clean title carries the CARFAX Guarantee. Better still, a Toyota dealer later put this truck through its own certification inspection and sold it as a Toyota Silver Certified vehicle after those reports were on file.
This is also the configuration Tacoma people argue is the one to get: the TRD Off-Road with the long bed. The 3.5 liter V6 pairs with part-time 4x4 and an electronically controlled transfer case, riding on off-road tuned suspension with Bilstein shocks. An electronically locking rear differential, Multi-Terrain Select, and Crawl Control handle the hard stuff, and the factory tow package brings a receiver hitch, engine oil and power steering coolers, and trailer sway control. The Technology Package adds blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert and parking sonar on top of the standard Toyota Safety Sense suite, and the cabin keeps it simple with an 8 inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and Qi wireless phone charging.
Picture Saturday at sunrise. The dirt bikes slide into that long bed with the tailgate up, the dog claims the back seat of the Double Cab, and the washboard forest road that beats up crossovers just hums under the Bilsteins. When the trail turns ugly you twist the dial, lock the rear diff, and idle over the ledge while the truck does the thinking. That is what this Midnight Black Metallic Tacoma was built for, and at 120,210 miles it is a Toyota V6 that is simply broken in.
Trucks like this do not sit long. Come see it at Archibald's in Kennewick before somebody else's Saturday plans beat you to it. A negotiable documentary service fee of $200.00 may apply to each purchase.
