2003+ mirrors are larger and have much better rear view.
Spray-in liner highly recommended.
Paint quality is average despite polishing with Zaino products 6-10 coats per year.

Truck is very reliable & fun to drive.
Back end is squirrelly on ice & snow -- always, always always weight down the rear axle in the winter!!!
Poor gas mileage -- 17 mpg in town, 18.8 on the highway -- makes me want to upgrade to a V8.
K&N FIPK reduced gas mileage by.5 mpg, would recommend drop-in K&N filter instead.
Good tire life, went to 17" Sequoia wheels & tires.
Hmmm, seems like a lot of problems for a toyta especially with the low miles.
