From the Seller:

I love this truck because it has served me as a daily driver and weekend adventure/trail rig from 2013-2020 (has not been daily driven since 2020) without any major issues. It never left me stranded and starts right up [on] the first try, every time. It’s such a solid truck, and if I could, I wouldn’t hesitate [to] keep it. I chose the first-generation Tacoma for its size, reliability, and its off-road capability while being very drivable on-road. I feel this is the perfect truck for a single person, or even a couple, especially for someone just getting into their first 4×4.”
