Every vehicle has it's weak points or issues. These Tacomas have a known rust problem with the frame but you just need to check it. Toyota will buy back the truck at 1-1/2 times the KBB price if it's too dangerous to drive. These 2.7 motors also have an exhaust manifold cracking issue (which would be a good excuse to put on a header) and the head has been known to crack around 250K miles. So I'll just keep an eye out for these potential problems, but at only 126K miles I hope I don't have to do much any time soon. I found the parking brake lever on the driver's side was rusted stuck which is also a common problem. PB Blaster, utility knife, heat gun and a hammer and it was fixed in 4 hours!
