How long will a 2nd generation Tacoma last? Years and mileage?

I'm hoping my '13 doesn't rot out eventually :S

 

2011 dbl cab 4x4 with 141,000 miles and going strong as ever.

Mobil1 5W30 Oil changes between 5,000 - 6,000 miles from day 1. Love my truck.

 

I've had mine for 12 years, 2005 pre runner dbl cab trd sport 110k miles. Very low because of all the overseas travels. Not a single mechanical issue *fingers crossed* so far.

 

the woman's car is a 2005 with 65k. Now that's low. haha.

 

2007 with 155,000 miles

Would drive anywhere with confidence

 

Many, many years, and many more miles.

J/K. Lol

 

2011 TRD offroad, 126,000 in 6 yrs. Couple issues while under warranty, HVAC blower, headlights leaking, small stuff. Since warranty expired replaced CV joints, but that's my deal because I have a lift. Other than that no real mechanical issues. TSB spring replacement a few weeks ago, but that was for the price of "on the house," due to recall. Regular maintenance, oil changes, just replaced the brake pads for the first time recently. Easy peasy, runs like a champ. Hell, the timing chain doesn't need replacement till 250,000

 

2014, bought May 1st this year with 7000 miles; now has 8500, 21 days later. Hoping this truck lasts me a very long time.

 

Googled "how many miles toyota tacoma 2nd gen last"

#1 result was this thread.

Let's update it now that we all have a few more years under our belt.

 

'08 Prerunner DCSB with over 170k. Only thing I had to do was replace an AC line when I first bought it. Every oil change around 5k +/-. Only had her for the better part of a year but one of the best vehicles I have owned.

 

My ‘08 Tacoma base truck recently turned over 416,000 miles and it’s all original, including the drivetrain. It rides runs and drives like a new truck. It has always been serviced when it was due.

 

this all depends on how you drive it, where you drive it, and how you maintain it.

long highway drives are good for cars. traffic or idle hours, not so much.
drive it aggressively, it wont last long. or you will go thru parts. i off road my truck 4 - 6 times a month so i do except the bushings and tie rods to go out sooner then someone who just drives their truck to work and back.
follow the maintance book that comes with your Tacoma and it will help with the life of the truck. how many people here regularly grease their driveshafts? do a bolt check? change diff fluid every 30k?

 

I have an 06 with the 4.0 Automatic 2wd that has 165,000 miles on it. I religiously change the oil every 5,000 miles. I had a travel trailer with a dry weight of 2,800lbs. that I hooked up to the Tacoma...3 trips only and then sold it. I could tell I was just beating up my Tacoma. I did drag around a double jet ski trailer for probably 10 years.
Take care of your Tacoma and it will take care of you!

 

2012 with 85k+ miles. A few service bulletins and resolved peeling paint issues but still going great!

 

2005 DCLB with 175k miles and going strong.

 

This thread is so old, some of the posters on the first pages have become grandparents.

 

2009: base model V6 90% highway miles with 220,891 on the clock. My first truck, It’s going to be living the garaged life for it’s final years.

 

2006 4.0 6mt with 231k. Runs like a top.

 

Peeling paint on a white Tacoma? Please tell us how this issue was resolved for your Tacoma so we can know how to do the same.

 

Resealed the valve covers at 150k. The engine looked new inside.
