Been looking at getting a truck for bumping around and I've found a few 2004-2006 Tundras in the 150k-200k mileage range. I've read some good reviews about these models but wanted to get thoughts from the pros on TA.

I had a 2006 double cab 4x4 Tundra and it was just ok for me. No issues whatsoever and I agree that the 4.7L is generally regarded as bullet proof. However, it was under powered and the move to the bigger motor in the next design was much needed for a "full size" truck. I had it for 4 years and put 120K miles on it with absolutely no issues, as to be expected with Toyota. Keep in mind that you will have a timing belt to deal with on that 4.7L which will likely need to be changed with the mileage range you're looking at.
The interior was very basic and the seats sit more car like than truck. Also, visibility out of the back is limited. Its like they took a tacoma and just scaled it up a bit. Good for light duty but not as capable or comfortable as the next gen or a F150, IMO
