500k miles in a 2nd Gen V6 auto

Does it exist out there? I know @qynla hit 400k...

Is 500k too much to ask of the combo mentioned?

 

Is it still meaningful if you are on your original engine + transmission, but the frame had to be replaced?

Yep! But I don't see any 500k+ in that thread. Maybe I missed it

 

^Correct. Just pointing out that an engine change is significantly easier and less prone to lingering gremlins than a frame swap. And 421365 miles is the highest I've seen posted on TW.

 

Not a Tacoma, but a tundra with 1,000,000 miles.

Actually just realized qynla has s manual, not auto. So not quite the same combo. Still the 4.0 V6 though

 

There is a member with a 2005-ish V6 auto Tacoma with over 500k miles that he uses for inspecting grape plants in the wine fields of California. I can't seem to find the thread from a couple years ago. Maybe somebody else is better at using the search function than I am.

 

With the 4.0L V6 and 5-speed auto combo, no less.

Spending 110,000 miles per year behind the wheel isn't necessarily healthy, though.

 

...^^^... Yep ...you won't see this very often ... (about 40 times around the earth) ...

 

There have been several write-ups about the 1 million mile Tundra. He had the 4.7L V8 not the 4.0. Some of the original write-ups were incorrect. He did have to have the transmission worked on at 775,000 miles, but it was not replaced. He lost reverse IIRC. He also religiously followed all suggested maintenance and had it done at the dealership. He spent a small fortune in maintenance.

 

Ah, of course, timing belt replacement, must be the 2UZ.

Well, over a million miles you would pay a lot in maintenance. Certainly much less than the average purchase of a new car every 100-150k miles.

 

The point is that he had it done at the dealership. He could have saved a bunch having it done elsewhere.

 

The guy sold it and is currently in a 3rd gen.

Badass

 

I love seeing these stories. Buddy of mine just passed 400K on a late 90's camry. Remember when Chevy had the 100k mile club?!! Haha!

 

500,000 miles is my goal!

 

After 7 years I'm only at 53k miles..... i got a long way to go
