Just bought my first Tacoma! 300k miles possible?

Hey guys. Just purchased my first Tacoma. 2012 Silver 4x4 in great shape. Has 200,000 miles with no leaks and it runs great. I’ve heard and known people that say these trucks are very capable of running into the 300,000 range? Is this true? Any advice or insight would be much appreciated!

 

Welcome to The Forum!

 

Very much so! I bought mine with 215k miles!

 

Round and round we go.

Protect the frame and keep the fluids fresh.
Google will be your friend.

Etc...

 

Kinda quiet tonight...

 

Cogratulations and Welcome to the Forum

Got any pics?

Change all the fluids: Both diffs, Transfer case, PS fluid, brake fluid, coolant and hoses, Cabin filter, Serpentine belt, and PCV valve.

Start fresh.

 

Yes. With proper maintenance And operation you can see 300k.

 

Yes, they can

Welcome to TW

 

Bought mine at 157k. She’s at 173k and nothing but oil changes, spark plugs, and filters.

Hoping to see at least 250k - 300k with her. Cheers and welcome!

 

welcome! lets see it!

 

I'd expect 400,000 without replacing major components. There are several people who post here that have done so and there is at least one Tacoma out there with close to 1.5 million miles on it He did replace the engine at 880,000 with one from a scrapyard with 100,000 on it.

The closer to stock you keep it the better. Start replacing factory parts with aftermarket "improvements", lifts, etc. and you will spend more to keep it running. Put some decent tires on it that aren't too big and you're good to go off road. Remember it is a light duty truck with limited payload and towing capability. Don't ask it to do the job of a heavier duty truck and it'll last a lot longer

 

My first Tacoma (first gen) when I sold it had 380K....enjoy the ride brother. 20 smiles to the gallon...

Nice truck!

When you’re starting with such a good vehicle foundation, 90% at least of its reliability/dependability will boil down to maintenance. Keep up with the maintenance and it’s sometimes shocking how long a vehicle can go. My 2nd Gen has 283,000 miles and its only faults were caused by me, haha.

 

Looks great man! How much did you pick it up for?

 

sorry y’all I’m new to this. Is there a way to respond to a specific persons comment on your thread?
