Just be aware that the 4.7L toyota engine has a timing belt that needs to be replaced every 90,000 miles. Timing belts are costly and at 194,000 miles it should have had it's second one at 180,000. If it hasn't then it'd have to be done immediately and you're looking at a lot of extra $$$ just for that.
Is that an interference engine where the pistons will hit the valves if the timing belt breaks?
