I found out that Toyota switched to a 4 cyl Turbo for 24, so I started looking for a late model 3rd Generation. In 2/29/24 I found a 23 TRD Off Road, Premium pkg with a 6’ bed. There’s plenty of 5’ beds, but the 6’ is very hard to find. The Tacoma had only 6K miles. It booked out for $51,500 and I bought it for $48K. I’m pushing 60 years old and retired so I drive only about 5-6K miles per year. I’ll be driving my Tacoma until I can no longer drive or I’m dead.

Dump trailers, landscape trailer, equipment trailers all been behind it. From mowers, sxs, mini excavators, mini skid steers, to pallets of materials have all been behind it. (5) 30 hour road trips to Mexico. Still kicking it on original power train and drivetrain. Everything works as it should. I stay on top of maintenance and swing oem parts as much as I can. Just got another water pump, timing belt, did all front engine seals, and an oil filter housing seal replaced. Worst thing I have had is a radiator go and a thermostat stick.

Moved back home to northern WI, it towed my boat {Nitro 4.88's} and did ok with snow tires but I traded it for '18 F150 2.7 4WD. 40k miles later on the Ford, i just traded it for another SR5 Access Cab 3.5 4WD. This configuration just feels like home to me, the SR5 suspension is the plushest riding truck Iv ever been in. Super light steering, manueverable in city/woods, and the bed is almost as big as the 6.5ft Ford truck bed. I will miss the instant 400ft lb torque and that 10 speed trans, but over all the Ford was more than I needed. Im used to the 6 speed auto in the Tacoma, Im actually impressed by the 3.5 after everyone bashed it. With an intake and keeping the OEM tire size on it goes pretty good and i can get 24.9 keeping it under 70mph highway.

I love how this vid showed up in a sea of vids whining about trivial Tacoma problems that mean nothing or boo hooing because the auto trans hunts for gears or it's missing a soccer mom comfort feature. This is why Tacomas still hold value. My favorite part is you trying to think of something that needed to be replaced lol. I have the same truck with 100k and minimal changes, it doesn't manage near the loads that yours does so I expect it'll probably last a lot longer. Thanks for posting this.

I found out that Toyota switched to a 4 cyl Turbo for 24, so I started looking for a late model 3rd Generation. In 2/29/24 I found a 23 TRD Off Road, Premium pkg with a 6’ bed. There’s plenty of 5’ beds, but the 6’ is very hard to find. The Tacoma had only 6K miles. It booked out for $51,500 and I bought it for $48K. I’m pushing 60 years old and retired so I drive only about 5-6K miles per year. I’ll be driving my Tacoma until I can no longer drive or I’m dead.

This is the best 3rd gen high mileage Tacoma vid that I have seen. Finally the stuff we wanted to know. Keep up the good work man!
I swear the new 4th Gen Tacoma will never last this long. I really don't have faith in those little 4 cylinder engines they put in them now. If anything, they should have put V8s in them, not made the trucks weaker by not even offering a V6. All to "keep ahead of the EPA". Utter nonsense.
17 Taco with 222,000 .All maintenance by myself. Fluids , brakes, tires, and one windshield. Run hard hauling firewood, about hundred ton of balsam boughs, traplines , and fishing trips. Never to far to drive to trap or fish. This is my third Toyota. 91 has 383,000 still going. 2000 has 326,000 still going . Hit two deer broadside one November day , that's what brought on the purchase of the 17 . All Amsoil every 5000 miles religiously. Can't say enough about how tough those trucks are.
I finally picked up a '19 TRD off road 4x4, and seeing videos like this always reassures me that I made a good decision 🤘
Dang, that's a testament to how well those trucks are made. Thanks for your review.
I cannot believe the factory clutch lasted that long! That's amazing. I recently got a 19 with 39k and they had just replaced the clutch because apparently who ever had it could not drive a manual well.

That’s great it never broke down on you. I had a 2012 Chevy Colorado, bought it at 66,000 miles. It’s been pretty good. I had installed a lift and leveling kit to it which caused the tires to wear out faster so I no longer didn’t want it anymore. The engine on the Colorado ran fine up to 102,000 miles. I traded it in for a 2021 Tacoma simply because I installed the lift/leveling kit.

Had a '16 SR5 Access Cab 2.7 2WD when I was stationed in desert. Moved back home to northern WI, it towed my boat {Nitro 4.88's} and did ok with snow tires but I traded it for '18 F150 2.7 4WD. 40k miles later on the Ford, i just traded it for another SR5 Access Cab 3.5 4WD. This configuration just feels like home to me, the SR5 suspension is the plushest riding truck Iv ever been in. Super light steering, manueverable in city/woods, and the bed is almost as big as the 6.5ft Ford truck bed.

@Chiam Rosenberg-Steinwitz Penzoil is definitely good stuff all product levels they sell. Changing fluids regularly is one of the things that I have learned extends life and often avoids some issues with vehicles.
Thanks for this. Any update on how many miles now?

362k. Still going strong
Nice, just got a 17 with 54K. TRD OR access cab auto. Love it. Thanks for the vid.
Mine ‘21 just hit 30k, good to know it has 10X more life to go 😊
Nice video on what to expect. 102K on my 17 DCLB auto. Hoping to have a ton of trouble free miles like you.
It’ll easily go another 300-600k with regular maintenance. Some would say hauling all that wood is overloading it but I’ve seen em tow way more. The only thing that might stop it is rust if you live in a snowy climate.

Wrangler you are correct. I own the 2013 2nd Gen Taco TRD Sport with the 4.0L V6 and I pull a trailer similar to one in this video. I load it with fire wood and fire wood in the back of the bed of the truck. These Taco are work horses for sure.
Good video I was looking at tacoma's yesterday .
This definitely gives me hope. It's hard to say how good the automatics are, hopefully not terrible. I have a 22 SR5 that I've had for a little over a year now, I'm hoping to get to this mileage eventually

Change the trans fluid every 60K (for normal driving) and you should be good.

Just take it to the dealer & MAKE SURE they flush it out & change the filter it's a screen if I'm not mistaken from what they were telling me. ❓🤔 But if you get that done I'm sure it will last for almost ever.

You will, the auto trans is solid, very solid. It's just the programming that isn't good. Easy fix. It's built on the exact architecture of the 4runner transmission.
We need a walk thru of that pack out kit!
I'm still driving my 96 Tacoma that I purchased in late 95, 295k miles.
Mine is 2013, 226 k (2nd gen). Spark plugs and u joints replaced this year The rest was basic maintenance...fluids, tires and a battery in 2022. Been to the Arctic ocean once...still original shocks. Drives the same as when I drove it off the lot
I love how this vid showed up in a sea of vids whining about trivial Tacoma problems that mean nothing or boo hooing because the auto trans hunts for gears or it's missing a soccer mom comfort feature. This is why Tacomas still hold value. My favorite part is you trying to think of something that needed to be replaced lol. I have the same truck with 100k and minimal changes, it doesn't manage near the loads that yours does so I expect it'll probably last a lot longer. Thanks for posting this.

Oh god the amount of people that bitch and moan about the "interior being outdated" is laughable. Nobody buys a Toyota because they want a luxurious interior.
I hope you make a video of when you decide to replace the truck and how many miles it went for yah.
Just got a 2023... Looking forward to years of work and play with mine I hope.
Good stuff! What you doing for work driving that much? Firewood delivery? I see all the tools so wasn’t sure
My 20 Sport has 62k with the battery, idler pulleys, serpentine belt, tires are the only issues I had. Running 3 in lift with 265 70 17s. New Tacoma on pre order showing after waiting 10 months and the one I have will be the truck ill use as a mountain truck for camping and off road. Great trucks 👍

@Robert Holschuh 🥱 you're so cool, dude. Can we be friends??
Very impressive video Sir. What do you do for a living? Would love to see more videos on the truck. I’m a Toyota fan too, wish I could get more into the domestic trucks… but I can’t afford the repair bills.
been looking at what might be the same truck, 23' 4x4 crewcab 6m sb for about 200 weekly.. knowing it lasted so many miles really makes me tempted to pull the trigger
i love how yours is a 2018 and looks exactly the same as my 2021
Thanks for the video man. Is your rear suspension stock?
Impressive man I’m glad to see Toyota reliability is still unmatched. Now I need 318 out of my ‘19 and 400 out the wife’s Camry!.

Beautiful taco 👍🏼
Awesome. Glad to hear!
Had a 2018 4x4 sport but traded it for a newer Tacoma. Hopefully it lasts just as long!
Wow, This is truly amazing.
Gotta love Toyota reliability my car that I went to the dealership with my grandpa to get when I was 12 is my daily she's rough lived the hard life been jumped in the air lived in for 3 years when times got hard next year she can drink appreciate the overview of the truck brother good to know these will be a strong used vehicle one day
Thanks for posting. I was thinking of a Tacoma. I was worried about going down from a full-size Silverado.
Awesome to see how you’re using your truck. What’s the gross weight of that trailer load? Have you done any upgrades to improve towing, other than the brake controller?

That’s what I was wondering! Did he put a max tow package on this? Because it seems he’s towing significant weight!

Wondering the same
Do another Review On it Dude ! Awesome Truck !
Mannnnn solid truck. This goes to show what just using it as a work truck can be like vs mine. You definitely look like youre "offroad" alot but youre not going out crazy? I got quite a list on mine with 113k but theres stories! Ive replaced my whole power steering system for one! Keep on racking those miles, i do 8K mile oil changes. All i got is a drip around the timing cover. Slow slow leak.
This is awesome. You look like you use it like a truck too. Bet that trailer is close to the tow capacity now. I have a 2006 tacoma 4.0 I tow a john deere 1025r tractor with and it does fine.
