I have been blessed with a great Tacoma. I bought it new Nov. 2007, it's a 2008, 4 cylinder it had 212 miles on it. As of yesterday it has 802,000 miles on it. I drive it every day on my job. Has the original engine and transmission and never been worked on. My most expensive repair was the rear axel bearing. I have always used Castrol 5/20 high mileage motor oil for dunderheads (early on I wasn't real good at regular maintenance). I didn't change the transmission fluid until 486,000 miles and finally changed the spark plugs at 704,491 miles. It now uses 1 quart of oil every 4,000 miles, so God has blessed me in a big way with this truck.

Definitely the best truck for reliably driving on average 100k miles a year. And welcome to TW!

And I thought I put on a lot of miles a year. Mine is a 2013, bought in December 2012, getting close to 70K.

That is truly incredible. If I were you, I'd change my sig to Jesus instead of Manblessed.

You should figure out how to convert some of those miles to frequent flier miles.

Good for you.
