    2023 (really a late ‘22 build) with 14,700 miles, still feels and drives like new. Zero issues. Hoping to keep this baby for decades

    Sold my 2019 that I had since new because I barely drove it. It started up every single time and drove well except it went through three fuel pumps in a year. The ones that failed were the supposedly fixed ones in the recall lol.

    Just had my paint done! Toyota has to sub out to crappy body shops to handle the load. All in all it ok. Still needs more polishing

    Just hit 120K, not a single penny on repairs so far except for broken tie rod however that's more of a off-road driver error. Heavily modified and never once let me down. I will probably drive this thing til it dies even if I do get a 4G, have both short and long bed. Long bed 3G for weekly mountain biking shuttles and short bed 4G or better yet 6MT for daily.

    i am at 54K miles. other than routine maintenance, tires, and squeaks and rattles in the door that i fixed, i had a left rear shock start leaking just recently. i could tell the ride quality and handling diminished. i replaced all four shocks with bilstein 4600's.

    Seals in the doors are inconsistent. Stupid click in the shocks or whatever over bumps is lame.

    but…75k in on a 2017…no real issues. Sexy as hell.

    Love this truck.

    2017, 8 trouble free years with 146k miles. Just had engine replaced due to camshaft rocker arm failure. Blazing Blue Pearl paint sucks, but getting repainted under warranty. Love my truck, but losing faith with age.

    86,000 kms (~53,000 mi). Usual oil changes, one set of tires, one battery, several recalls (block heater, 3rd brake light, blower motor, frame coating, etc.) no issues or complaints as Toyota naturally covered the recall repairs, one set of wiper blades, no repairs other than the aforementioned routine maintenance items and recalls. All is well so far.

    Only thing I worry about now is mice getting into it. Right now I have a truck that completely fixed (knock on wood) and just out of the factory warranty. Glad I got the platinum a few more years.

    My 2017 Off Road just crossed the big 100,000 mark a couple weeks ago. I bought it brand new in April 2017. I am on 3rd set of tires, but zero issues, problems, or complaints so far.

    Not as sexy as those shoes!

    2017 OR that just rolled over 175k miles. Paint quality is crap and other than replacing a pump a couple years back I have had zero issues.

    That is until last week when it started throwing a P0024 code and traction control light started going off. I blame myself because the wife and I started looking at new trucks a couple days before the light went off.

    Hopefully it’s something minor with the VVT.

    That's what the mechanic said as well. I can't really complain because the truck has been great up until now.
