Million Mile Toyota

There is a typo. It says Ford but should say "3rd Gen Taco"

 

If @PackCon and @Rock Lobster had a baby, it would probably be a F-150 truck.

 

Free popcorn at every visit!

 

If me, @Rock Lobster, and @BlueT had a baby, that would be one sweet F-ing truck.

 

No chrome, 6.5ft bed, and power seats (massage seats as a matter of fact). Beat that Toyota!! HA!!

 

Well, we actually use our trucks as trucks. You can keep your pavement queen with your non practical conveniences. Mine drives anywhere I need it too, fits 4 comfortably, and has a bed for cargo. All I need.

OH, and my truck will out last a ford gasser any day of the week.

 

You mean the power jokes? I'd rather be cummin than strokin

 

Not sure what you are trying to say.
A midsize truck has serious limitations in terms of being used "as a truck".

And a Tacoma doesn't fit 4 comfortably. At least not 4 adults.

I'm not really into a F150 Limited Special Edition, but in terms of truck use, full-size beats out midsize any day of the week.
I can't tow a 10,000lb trailer with a Taco. As much as I love mine, it really has limitations when hauling building materials, which is why I couldn't get rid of my 250. If I needed drywall, my Tacoma would do alright provided I was ok with going back and fourth to Home Depot 10 times.

 

all you guys are into F150 and Tacoma because you haven't experienced a real 4wd work truck such as the Honda Ridgline.

 

Was this million mile Tundra a 6cyl or the v8?

 

It looks like from the pictures that he has the 2UZ 4.7L V8 because the 5.7 has red on the side badges. So while that amount of miles is incredible if you were to expect any engine to do it it would be that one.

 

Did the Tundra reg cab ever come with the 2UZ or only v6?

 

Woo-hoo! I'm only 280 miles away from being 900,000 miles away.

 

Oddly no. You could get it in a v6 or the 5.7 v8 but no 4.7/4.6 v8. Seems odd but they must have done the research on it.

 

At Ramstien AB Germany my unit had a 1983 bobtail Ford F-350. It had as I recall 400,xxx on the odo. It had a gasoline engine. It ran fine the only issue was if you turned the steering wheel all the way left or right the power steering pump would overwhelm the engine. If you held for too long the engine would die.

The issue increased under load and you couldn't use the truck to pull anything more than 10 tons so it couldn't pull the larger stuff like the engine stands for C-5s. But it worked great for errands around the base or as a back up when the two newer Rams with Cummins where already busy.

The C-5 engine stands weighed about 19,000 pounds so even the Rams with Cummins worked pulling those. Of course we only needed to go 5 MPH on the flight line.

Out trucks where very well taken care of so such milage would be the exception not the rule. Most drivers do not treat the vechiles they own well enough to reach 400K much less 1 million miles. Now a semi can do that easily there are trucks with well over 2 million still running.

 

No car guy admits to driving a Volvo though lol

 

Well the owner is at over 3 million miles. Every million miles they've given him a new car but he doesn't drive them.

 

Impressive, but I bet owner doesn't want to admit to getting another one lol.

 

125k a year is more than I've put on one vehicle. That's impressive for a V8 tundra but damn I would hate to know how much he spends on gas in a year.
