I bought a 2000 4Runner used with 93,000 miles on it. I've replaced the tires, changed the oil, fuel filter, and that's pretty much it. I've got 143,000 miles on it and it still runs strong.

870,087, of course. This is a well known documented fact. At 870088 miles, it will fall apart into a million pieces.

I have a 96 with well over 200k on it. Nothing but regular maintenance. Still runs, looks and drives good.
Also have two "pretacos" with almost 300k on each. One still runs well, the other one ran when I took it apart (building a desert truck). |

When I bought my 06 Tacoma, the dealer told me (after I bought it) that they just got a trade in Tacoma that had over 400,000 miles on it. The guy used it as an escort vehicle across country for over sized loads. All the guy did was tires, breaks, and oil changes. I love mine.

I have seen 1995-1998 models with over 400,000 miles, since cars and trucks just don't rust in Cali, it isn't all that uncommon.

The 2TR-FE (2nd gen 4cly) will be just as, if not more reliable then the infamous 22R/RE engine. use good oil/oil filters and drive the piss out of it.

Thanks for the replies all. I'm happy with it. And between gas/insurance/no loan payment, it's going to save me a ton of money. Not to mention all the money it would have cost to get all the stuff fixed with the old Ford.

Quoted: My truck broke down again last week. Decided enough was enough. Ended up trading it in for a 2007 Tacoma. Pre-Runner, 2 wheel drive, 4 cylinder, manual trans. Has a little over 100,000 miles. More miles than I wanted, but hey, a paid off truck is better than nothing. If I keep up with the service, tune-ups, etc, how many miles should it go? Ive only ever owned Dodges and Fords in my life, so I'm new to Toyota trucks. You should easily get another 100k out of that thing without major repair. My '97 Taco was the best vehicle Ive ever owned, if it was a four door I would have kept it. I bought it with 50k on it and sold with 150k on it and put in a starter, a battery, 4 tires and a set of brake pads. The '04 Tundra I'm driving now had 27k on it when I bought it, just hit 110k with no repairs other than tires and a timing belt I had done as preventative maintenance. eta: My next truck will be a 4 door Taco, hopefully a diesel if they ever get them in here. |

Be proactive about any significant frame rust that shows up; it is still up in the air as to whether the frame rust problems from the earlier generation are going to show up in the second gen. The frames were made by Dana...not sure if the current ones are or not.
Your 4cyl has a timing chain (as do all current Tacoma engines), so that's one less thing to worry about. As with any modern vehicle, I would expect to get 200,000 good miles out of it at a minimum with good maintenance. |

Any vechicle will go many miles. The Tacoma will cost you the least n repairs and maintenance to get to 400k than any other truck you can buy.
ie. The Tacoma is the least expensive per mile truck, considering all fuel, repairs, maintenance and resale when you decide to get another one than anything else out there. |

870, 000
I am in the middle of finding out about my current FJ's V6, but I expect 300K based on the older Toyotas I have owned. I expect other shit to go before the drive train. I have a lifetime warranty on the drive train through a local dealer (who has been in business over 35 years) and he sells several brands. Only offers lifetime warranty on the Toyota drivetrain though. hmmm |

My fzj 80 landcruiser has 188000 on it so far and still purrs like the day it rolled of the show room floor. While giving me 18 mpg with full time 4wd.
Should go to 400000 before first rebuild. Motor is supposed to have 3 rebuilds in it After 2 land rovers I reallly wish I had just gone straight to Toyota and saved a fortune |

it will probably go more miles than you can stand to drive it. i drove a 91 camry for 255, and it still started on the first turn of the key and got 95% of the original gas mileage rating.

My 2000 tacoma prerunner has 197000 miles on it now. Its been the best truck ive ever owned. Bought it when it had less than 30K miles on it...Still no oil leaks. New tires, oil changes and brakes have been pretty much all I've had to do with it...Although I must say that the O2 sensors are now needing to be replaced. Will do that next week myself. This truck has never stranded me.

You do your part. Change the oil. Change ALL of your fluids at recommended intervals. Maintain your timing chain ( or belt ) at proper intervals, keep your alignment good and your shocks good and that thing will last you for one HELLLL of a long time.

Quoted:

The Tacoma is quiet different then the HiLux, now the Toyota pickups made before the Tacoma (except for the T100) ARE HiLuxes but all Toyota pickups made in America after the middle of 1995 (the Tacomas in question included) are different then the HiLux. Anyway I have 300,000 miles on my HiLux with the legionary 22RE and expect it to go at least another 200,000 miles before I have to shell out $899 and put a rebuild motor in it for another 500,000 miles. |

I dumped my 2004 Prerunner Double Cab V6 recently. It had 130k miles on it, needed new tires, complete brake job and some suspension/steering stuff up front was pretty worn out. I got $10,000 for it and had only paid $12,500 for it in 2008 with 68k miles on it so I was content with what I got out of it, good truck overall.
The only reason I really got rid out it was that I have had to drive more recently and was spending about $300 a month on gas for it(the mileage sucked but that is what it was rated for), I usually averaged 15-18mpg in the Tacoma, not much different that my 2000 F-150 5.4L 4x4 I had before it. In a 2007 Accord right now at 30mpg so pretty much cut the gas bill in half. Sold all three of my boats last year so nothing big to tow right now, have a hitch on the Accord if I need to take the lawnmower somewhere or run to Lowes with my small utility trailer or something

FOREVER
I took my brothers 87 forerunner with 180,000 miles for an emissions check and the guy doing the testing said "these things always pass. 180,000 is nothing" I think as long as you maintain it, your good. I've got 140,000 on a 2000 Tacoma. Ive done regular maintenance and had no problems. |

My 97 4 runner had 110,000 on it when I bought it, today it's at 250,000+, I've done the preventative stuff, timing belt, plugs, wires, and of course tires and shocks, had to replace the alternator at 220,000 and it needs shocks again. Its been a good vehicle.

My pops bought an 88 4runner with the 22re in '87. He sold it in '06 with 288k on the clock, replaced the timing chain at 100k intervals and a couple of clutches. He's rocking an 03 TRD Taco 4x4 now with 190k now.
I had an 03 4x4 TRD Taco too, drove it until 09 when I sold it to get my current ride...an 03 4runner V8 4x4 limited that we bought when we had our daughter. It's about to hit 200k. I like it, but my Taco was the first truck I bought that I actually wanted...ordered from the factory. I miss it everyday. I had always driven domestic trucks and jeeps until I bought it, and it made me a believer. I did shit in that truck that would have cashed any of my previous rides. |
