The (hopefully) million mile thread.

i also have a 2006 tacoma double cab sport 4x4 and have 275,000 miles on it. I also have original rear brake drums. I only change oil and air filter...lol I have never changed any other fluids and it runs like a dream and i still get 21 mpg! Ive replaced the usual wear and tear parts like pads/shoes, cv axles, wheel bearings and front and idler pulleys but thats pretty much it. The rest is original!

 

My bud has had 3 Toyota pickups for work. He puts about 500,000 Km (315,000 mi.) on them and then trades them in. His experience with Toyota trucks had a large influence on my recent purchase of a new Tacoma. I'm hoping for 1,000,000 Km. Only 997,000 to go.

 

no transfer case or diff oil changes?

 

Awesome I hope mine last that long

 

been a while. any updates?

 

Hey ripe, does ur truck happen to have the taco tick? The ticking injectors or whatever it is?

 

Keep on keepin' on! My uncle got 480, 000 out of his '94 v6 4x4 5spd, and he beat the crap out of that truck. About 100, 000 of those miles were in 4wd.

 

sub'd

 

Awesome read! Glad to hear an '06 is holding up so well. I have an '06 SR5 Access Cab but with a V6 6 speed and 49,600 miles on her about 360k behind you. lol
I know for fact you can get an easy 300k with general maintenance out of a Yota. I'm on my 3rd Toyota P/U since '94 and hope to get that kind of mileage you have. Good Luck! Keep us posted!

 

My 08 just rolled 32000. Yeah three zeros Don't drive it much. Maybe 4k a year

 

how many miles are on it now??? whats the compression at? man, i feel kinda sad seeing mine turn a whole 17,500 on it today, makes me wanna hopp in it, and take her for a drive now!!! i only have 382k to go!!!!

 

Update???

840,000 miles is amazing.

That feller is a might bit strange haha.

 

That is NOT how to pack a bearing, and NOT how to load the bearing.

 

That reminds me that I have to get my bearings repacked. The retards at the Toyota dealership never did it when I took it by and where all like "Yeah uh, those are like, uh, sealed bearings dood. So uh, you like don't have to get them, uh, repacked man."

 

Hey guys, sorry to leave you hanging on updates. The truck is still going strong at about 416k miles now. Like I said I'm not putting nearly as many miles on it, but I guess I've put about 8k on it these 1st few months. Quite a change from my previous 1400 per week :/

 

Yeah geez man what's the deal? "Only" 416K?

I kid, I kid. Keep plugging away man, you've almost completed a round trip to the moon.

 

That's so cool! I hope that my Tacoma lasts that long. That truck from BC too. Awesome!
