Second-gen Tacoma with the 4.0L V6 that has been rolled, burned, wrecked or eaten by frame rust? We buy 2005–2015 V6 Tacomas for cash, with free towing across the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles.
2005–2015 Tacoma 4.0L V6: wrecked, burned, rolled or running. We will call you with a real offer.

| Generation | Model years | Engine | Trims & drivetrain |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd gen (early) | 2005–2011 | 4.0L V6 1GR-FE (2.7L four-cylinder also offered) | Access Cab & Double Cab, PreRunner & 4x4, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, X-Runner |

Not sure which engine you have? Send us the VIN and we will check it for you.
The body can be a total loss. What we pay for is the drivetrain underneath it.
Engine fire, cab fire or a burned-out shell. Where the fire started matters most to the offer.
Rolled on the freeway or on the trail, crushed cab and bed damage included.
Rotted frame, failed inspection or a frame flagged by the dealer. Rust doesn't touch the V6.
Front-end hits, rear-ended, T-boned or side-swiped.
Totaled by insurance or carrying a salvage title? We still buy it.
No start, overheated, or parked for years in the driveway.
Burned clutch on a 6-speed or a slipping automatic. Tell us the symptoms.
Work trucks with 300,000 miles still qualify.
From 2005 to 2015, the 4.0L 1GR-FE V6 was the engine to have in a Tacoma, and it still is. Third-gen Tacomas switched to a 3.5L V6 in 2016, so second-gen 4.0L engines and transmissions are what owners hunt for when their own truck needs a swap. That demand is why we pay for V6 Tacomas other buyers would only scrap.
Frame rust is the classic second-gen Tacoma killer, especially on 2005–2010 trucks. A rotted frame can make a truck unsafe to drive, but it does nothing to the engine or transmission. If your Tacoma's frame is rotted or was flagged at a dealer inspection, we still want it.
Access Cab or Double Cab, short bed or long bed, PreRunner or 4x4, automatic or six-speed manual: if it is a 2005–2015 Tacoma with the V6, it qualifies. Four-cylinder or newer 3.5L Tacoma? Call anyway. We buy those too as regular cash-for-cars vehicles.
The more we know about the engine and transmission, the faster and more accurate your offer.
Call (855) 613-4943 or use the form. VIN, mileage and a few photos get you the fastest offer.
We review the engine, transmission and damage, then make you a cash offer. No haggling, no obligation.
Accept and we tow your Tacoma for free, pay you at pickup, and handle the DMV release.
Yes. Frame rust is one of the most common reasons second-gen Tacomas get parked, especially 2005–2010 trucks. A rotted frame doesn't hurt the 4.0L V6 or the transmission, so a Tacoma that is unsafe to drive can still earn a solid offer from us.
Yes. Rollovers, front-end hits, rear-end collisions and side impacts are all fine. Let us know whether the engine ran before the accident and whether any fluids were leaking afterward.
Yes. A cab or bed fire often leaves the engine and transmission usable. An engine-bay fire may reduce the offer, but we still look at it. Photos of the engine compartment help us quote fast.
The 4.0L V6 (engine code 1GR-FE) was offered in 2005–2015 second-generation Tacomas, with a 2.7L four-cylinder as the other engine choice. In 2016 Toyota switched to a 3.5L V6. Not sure which engine you have? Send us your VIN and we will check.
Yes. Six-speed manual and five-speed automatic Tacomas both qualify, in 2WD PreRunner and 4x4 versions, Access Cab or Double Cab, short bed or long bed.
A title in your name, clean or salvage, makes the sale fastest. If it is lost, we can often still buy with your registration and ID and take care of the DMV release. Call (855) 613-4943 and we will walk you through it.
Often the same day in the San Fernando Valley. Call before noon with your Tacoma's details and we can usually schedule pickup that afternoon or the next day, with free towing.
We are based in Sun Valley and tow for free throughout the Valley.
Running or not, we pay top dollar and tow it away for free, same day.
