🎯 Negotiation ammo — walk in knowing this
Free. The seller won’t volunteer any of it.
- ✅ Verify this recall: Steering rack/power steering gear leak (subject of NHTSA recall on related years). Make the seller prove it’s been done — an open recall is money off the price.
- 💸 Budget for this: Frame rust (Gulf Coast/salt-belt trucks especially) — $0–$3,000 if it goes. Check it on the test drive; if it’s near due, negotiate it down.
- 🧾 Your opening line: “2015 Toyota Tundras have known issues around this mileage — here’s my number.” Milo’s full report hands you the market price and a line-by-line offer script.

Which one to get — and which to avoid
✅ The one to get
2015 Tundra CrewMax (Double Cab or CrewMax) SR5 or Limited with the 5.7L V8 and factory tow package — the sweet spot of reliability, space, and resale without paying 1794/Platinum premiums for leather you don't need.
🚫 Avoid
Avoid the 4.6L V8 base engine trucks if you can — underpowered for the truck's weight and less desirable on resale; also be wary of any coastal/rust-belt truck without documented frame inspection history.
