Just turned 460,000 this morning.
Nothing special but keeping on top of maintenance and repairing items that wear out/break. It's garage kept at home and at work, obviously mostly highway miles. I don't abuse it and almost all parts are replaced with OEM or the brand that is OEM, I'm generally not a believer in aftermarket stuff purely for the reasons of longevity. The main reason I got the towing pkg on it was for the oil and trans cooler. Fluids that can stay cooler will last longer and thus the parts they are lubricating will last longer too. I keep it clean inside, outside, and in the engine compartment.
Oil changes every 10,000 miles with synthetic. Lube grease fittings every 10,000 with Amsoil grease. A transmission flush every 100,000 with Amsoil ATL. Coolant complete drain and refill every 100,000 or more, depending on when the water pump goes. Differential fluids (both) and transfer case fluid drain and refill first at 100,000 and now every 200,000 with Amsoil. Power steering fluid drained and refilled every 100,000 with Amsoil ATF.
Major components replaced:
Frame about 278,000 due to the replacement campaign, had quarter-size holes on the inner frame rails right where the cats. are near it. Had the upper and lower control arms replaced at that time too.
Front struts and rear shocks every 100-150,000. Leaf springs have been replaced a few times due to various Toyota recalls and TSB.
Alternator at about 400K.
Water pump 2-3 times
Front brake pads and rear shoes a few times. Rebuilt the calipers about 10,000 miles ago
Rear-wheel bearings and seals.
Front-wheel bearings, Drivers side around 250K, passenger side now. Going to replace both original CV axles when I do the passenger side front wheel bearing as I'm going to replace the driver's side front wheel bearing, oh, that driver's side needle bearing is getting replaced with the ECGS one too.
Passenger side valve-cover gasket at about 450,000
Engine rear main oil seal at about 450,000
Stupid timing chain cover leak that I did not pull off but rather pulled the power steering pump off and made it's fit into the timing chain cover not as tight and smeared the heck out of Permatex right stuff along the sealed edge of the TC cover, seems to have fixed the leak. It leaked for a good 150,000 before I attempted the fix since it was such a slow leak.

Now that sounds like a properly maintained truck. Cool post!

Only two pages of 200k club for 2nd gens in 2022? Anyone else?

clifpaul · Mar 8, 2022

I just rolled over 250,000 almost a month ago on my 2006. Hoping for double that and more!

Blockhead · Mar 8, 2022

I had 242K on my 2015 when I traded it for my new one back in 2019, does that count?

AllTacosFloat · Mar 8, 2022

214k on mine. Rear brakes made it to 213k!

fenderpro · Mar 9, 2022

05 2.7 -263k miles so far. Original clutch still doing great and original rear brakes. Great Trucks!

deanosaurus · Mar 15, 2022

Not quite to the moon yet. Runs great, paid off since 96,000 miles

Hayden334 · Mar 15, 2022

293,520 on my 2010. Nothing has been replaced other than fluids and a couple batteries. Oh and one Ujoint, The rear end is starting to whine so that's the only issue it has had.

203k on my 2008.

I feel like this is a turning point. Do I stick with the truck (which has been absolutely great). Or is it time to trade in on something new while it still has some value. TRD OR Prerunner has gotten me 95% of the places I want to go, but i would like 4x4 for the winter.

Sounds as if you answered your own question. Maybe look for a newer used truck with 4x4 …a 2013-2015 model would be great but tough to find. Have patience

Yeah that would be the upgrade (i find the 3rd gens super uncomfortable to sit in). Def hard to come by though.

202,000 now; rolled past 200k while in Moab.

Photo taken while stopped.

Huh thought I posted, must've been a similar thread.
Yes I cleaned the cluster after seeing the pic lol.

racer1x · Oct 21, 2023

I currently have 264k on it.
Just engine oil changes with mobil 1 every 5-7k.Now running amsoil signature series oil. Front wheel bearings at 106k. switched over to amsoil in the gearbox and diff at a 160k ran redline in it for the first 160k in 30k intervals. Biggest cost was the dealer replaced head gaskets at 244k.

Hayden334 · Oct 23, 2023

I guess I am no longer a member of this club. Currently setting at 309K.

Jeff_Waldrop · Oct 23, 2023

I have 206,000+ and just it repainted it.... I am in South Louisiana and we had one hell of a hot summer. It looks new again.....

The last two years, the hood and roof turned white and then turned Rust....

I plan on driving it another 200,000 miles.

Congratulation ! Just curious - why switch oil (Mobil, Amsoil,RedLine) is there some kind of proven reason to do it ? Thanks for any reply. Curious George.

EME · Oct 26, 2023

370,000kms (231000miles) 2nd owner, I use AMSOIL signature series oil, once a year oil changes, I average around 20,000- 23,000kms a year. trans/diffs/TC all filled with Amsoil products.

Did head gaskets 2yrs ago, 4yrs ago did both front wheel brgs/ front and rear brakes, frame and rear springs done under recall 4yrs ago, also did the Diff bushing (preventive measure)
like everyone else it runs like a top, and fully expect it will for another 10-15years
