    Sold my 2003 xtra cab with 162,000 miles on it back in January....It literally ran as good as the day I drove it off the showroom!! Never once went in the shop for anything!!! Only got rid of it b/c I always wanted a Speedway blue DC........

    Hopefully my 2009 TRD DC is around long enough to give to my son when he turns 16 (he's 11 now). By then it should have about 160K.

    I just hit 77777 yesterday. I am hoping to hit 777777. But really, as long as the upkeep stays below the payment for a new one, I'll keep it.

    Just got rid of my 08 Tacoma. Had 115k miles on it. Could have gone a lot more, but with my commute I decided to trade it for a smaller car. Got $16,500 for it.

    I plan on keeping mine until Toyota comes out with a new truck that I like better. Which would be difficult, truth be told.

    I'd like my son to drive it for his first car. At my current rate it would have 317,000 miles at that point though, so we shall see.
