The deduction for miles driven won't help you but taking off for deprecation should. You can get depreciation numbers from the True Cost to Own tool.

I just perfer a running board and a third row.
Thanks.
Toyota has left me high and dry on this one. Soooo ... I've chronicled the experience on a website called www.deadrunner.org as a way to warn others. What a horrible waste. Rest of the car was in great shape --- transmission, engine, body. If I had more time I would have tried for more money than the 1,200 I got but the Toyota dealer was starting to threaten to charge me rental for having it sit on their lot.
This isn't any kind of ad, I'm not selling anything, just a warning ... Be careful of 4Runners. I think it's got a similar issue as the Tacoma's and Toyota appears to be avoiding the issue.
Right now they've lost a customer forever in my book. We'll see if they ever man-up.
Thanks,
Ron
Toyota's aren't what they used to be. Toyota's were reliable, and had good craftsmanship. Now-a-days, Toyota vehicles are throw-aways after 100K (if you can get there).
Toyota frames should not be doing this at 100K. Toyota should come forward and do what's right. I suspect Ohio winters and especially salt were your enemies even though you kept it in the garage. I'm not saying you are the cause of the problem, cause you aren't.
Others should be inspecting their frames every year and be winterizing them. While it might not totally eliminate it, it will protect the frame some.
Take care, and thanks for the message.
