best trucks ever made

i just signed up for this website to rant about my 09 2wd base model Tacoma.
3 years ago I needed another truck for my business.( another s10 worn out at 200k)
I always knew Toyota quality was at the top , I just didn't want to send 10k on a used truck to run it 80k a year.
I found a used 09 ex utility company truck with 80k for 8 grand and took it.
I now have 350k miles on it and the only problem I ever had was a U joint that cost me $100 parts and labor .
I changed the oil every 15k with Mobil 1 0-20.
I had the auto trans serviced at 180k
I've gone through 4 sets of tires ( they always wore perfect )
2 front brake jobs
1 drive belt

Everything still works like the day I got it. A/c still ice cold , still gets 22-24 mpg, burns no oil, no oil leaks. Still has the original spark plugs.( I'm going to change them this week)

I just picked up 2012 Camry , I'm going to start using for jobs I don't need a truck on.

I'm keeping the Tacoma for as long as she will go. I don't think 500k is out of the question at all.

 

Soooooo it's a good rant then? Welcome and hope she keeps rollin, sounds like she takes care of you as long as you take care of her

Never heard of that.

 

They are amazing.

 

These posts are not uncommon
I'm very happy to hear about the transmission going strong for so long with just one (overdue) service at 180k.
And that Mobil 1 0w20 you're using, is that Extended Performance or just "regular" Mobil 1?

 

I always used the regular Mobil 1. Now that the taco is semi retired , she will be getting all new fluids. Trans, diff,PS ect.

 

Awesome. Don't forget the brake fluid! :thumbs:
