    looking at a 2000 4x4 with the six cylinder auto. It has 173k on it. She wants top dollar, I am wondering how many miles these engines go. Can I expect another 100k with little difficulty? Original owner, dealer maintained. Mainly highway miles, never off road.

    That motor should last 300k easily. I have approximately 166k miles on my rig and it's still running strong.

    Look for another truck....you don't want to spend the remaining 100k in repair costs.

    That truck has AT LEAST 5 miles left but no more tan 1.237 million according to my calculations.

    If you use Mobile 1 it has 23 million miles left, unless you used a frame oil filter in which case there are a -237 miles on it.

    Go for it. Get it checked out by a mechanic. Make sure all of the features you're expecting actually work. For example, my truck had the TRD stickers and no rear locking diff.

    These trucks can go forever if they're maintained and cared for properly. Good luck!

    Rust is a bigger risk than engine wear. Get down underneath and check it out.

    I have 186k on my 99 Access Cab 2.7 auto. 54k was run in the last year, now that she became a work truck. Go for it. Baby that truck, and she won't let you down.

    Are you serious, dude? Let me translate, because the lingo of those of us with testes has eluded you:

    He is stating that he is not losing/burning any oil from his engine.

    Let me know if I can help you in the future.
