187k on my 02 and runs like it is new. Owned 4 different 3.4s and have all gone close or over 200k before I sold them. Plan on keeping this one forever since Toyota stopped building a real Toyota truck after 04.

Impossible it's not rebuilt. I bet the only thing original is the frame.

I'd LOVE to be proven wrong but equipment fails. If I'm wrong you should email Toyota and be their advertisement for years to come.
