    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.

    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.

    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.

This 2GR-FKS is a beast of a motor it’s very robust it has a 6 bolt main . Louts has it in their sports car it’s the exact motor they borrowed it from Toyota and pumps out almost 500 hp..

    450k on my 04 tundra. Been pushing 33s E rated tires since 320k. Had a trailer brake controller when I got it at 292k from original owner so I assume it saw decent trailers prior. 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. Also had an aftermarket ubj slug pop out of the spindle. Been an amazing truck though. I would drive it to Mexico rn zero hesitations.

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.

    @@eliasbeas3556 extremely relevant. Especially in these times. Last days of the ice engine. Might aswell get a low mileage 99-06 toyota that will actually last u forever. Theres nice leather trims with everything you need that blow hotter and colder air than any new age junk Toyota and will last until 2050

    That's very impressive. I have a 2020 SR5 4x4 that I purchased new in July 2020. Currently only have 23,000 miles on it. Only trouble has been the stock battery and the dealership replaced it under warranty with an 84 month warranty Toyota sure start. I been changing my oil every 5,000 miles doing it myself when I was still covered by Toyota care. I've was using Shell gas truck 0w20 but not been able to get that so I been using Supertech 0w20. Was already planning to use ravinoil and redline in the transfer case and diff. My plan was to care for and keep this truck for 10 years or more. With fluid film and good maintenance and the miles I'm putting on her it might take me 20 years to get to 300,000

    I got a 2020 TRD Off-Road and can confirm the stock batteries are kinda crap. Mine died on me out of nowhere and it should have lasted longer. However I replaced it with a very nice interstate AGM battery which has been fantastic. No issues ever since.

    i have an 18 with the stock battery lol. Need to do something about that i guess. I did redline in all the diffs and cases, and use Pennzoil ultra platinum oil. The ultra platinum is just about as good as amsoil and redline, but at half the cost. Its a little harder to find than the regular platinum, but the ultra platinum is worth ordering.

    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.
