DH drives it about eight miles round trip to work every day. I'll have to go check the mileage on it, but I don't think it's over 100,000K yet.

He put a fork-mount on the rim of the bed right behind the driver's seat, but that's the only thing we've added to it.

Tacomas are so ubiquitous here, I don't think I'd get much more than $2,000 for it if I put it up on Craigslist.

If it's really got less than 100K on it, you'd probably get about 8K for it here (or maybe more depending on the condition). There is actually a really good market for the early model Tacomas because Toyota screwed up in the later years and had a huge problem with body rust. There are stories out there about people who had less than 10K on their trucks driven in summer weather only and yet had to go after Toyota for replacement because the bottom was totally rusted out (like put a foot through it, rusted out!). I believe there was a recall, but I'm not certain. This is why the earlier year models are so popular - it was before whatever caused this problem, so much safer buys for used trucks.
