    MPG is typically 17-19 depending on use. Last week I managed 19 MPG on a highway trip, return was 15 mpg or so due to wind.

    The MPG has not changed much since new.

    Take care of it and it will take care of you! I'm also sold on M1.

    But it seems Tacoma wheel bearings are an issue. Noticed multiple post with early failures.

    Enjoy your TACO!

    I've been looking through this thread. Is this the 6 cyl or the 4 cyl?

    Exactly. My 2013 just turned over 25K (kilometres too) but I bought this truck to keep for the long term.

    This thread is why all the current talk of the new Colorado/Canyon doesn't impress me. I know GM won't be able to build a "small" truck that has such low cost of ownership and stellar reliability all while maintaining its value like our Tacomas.

    Hey thanks for sharing all this good info. I only hope mine go's that many miles too. I'm at 145k miles and counting. I only use mine on weekends and only hwy miles, no off-roadie here. Is that all synthetic oil you are using since day one? I'm using dino oil 5w30 in my 2005 since I bought her used with 44kmiles.

    Exactly. Just turned 108k, it runs beautifully and I have no reason to expect that it won't easily go 250k miles or much more. It's received regular maintenance only, using dino oil 5w30 only. A few months ago it got new spark plugs and a MAF and TB cleaning. Underside looks super clean, with no leaks anywhere.

    It is likely worth more (money) than my very clean, low-mileage 1995 Corvette.

    I made the switch to Castrol Syntec 5W30. Its cheap at Costco. Works out to the same as a dealer oil change.

    The MS2 last longer (70k vs 65k warranty on AT2) and have better snow performance, the AT2 are better off road with more aggressive tread.

    Both are good tires, but I like MS2 better because of the snow.

    Thanks, I have a very long drive ahead of me. I like reviews of both tires and need a good tire for towing and driving over rough roads.
