    All stock and it drives just fine.
    I have no issues accelerating up to and above the speed of freeway/highway traffic when entering.
    I use S-mode and ECT when climbing in elevation, keep the RPMs up and it's just fine.
    I keep up on the basic maintenance, fluid changes and tire rotations.
    I haven't had any coolant leaks or oil leaks up to this point.
    I don't worry about things that could go wrong with my truck, I just drive it as i need to.
    Overall this has been a great truck for me, i have no complaints.
    Happy Friday!

    Well you’re not really alone. 2017 at 90t miles. Except for the tune and the dorkle, it’s all stock. No leaks too.

    Clearly you’re not looking hard enough. Grab a tape measure, a magnifying glass, a bright light and go to town. Report back on the many problems you’re sure to uncover.

    My 16 had the noisy fuel pump, squeaky leaf springs, crazy shift patterns and the stupid lower control arm noise ( I live high altitude, high winds region)

    To be fair, not many catastrophic failures happened. Still a solid platform.

    I just thought i would put up a positive thread and go against the grain since most everything else in this section is a complaint and disappointment post.

    lol. My gf has 3 cars over 11 years old and 200k miles no basic maintenance just oil changes but not when required over the limit just repairs when things break and hasn’t much broke yet. 1 starter, brake pads rotors a few times I think that’s it. Driven hard by teens that don’t care. Fast take offs fast stops slamming the brakes on. This is what most people do.

    Back in the day I put 199,999 miles on my 1992 Toyota Pickup ...
    Bought it brand new for $6,300.00 - if I remember correctly the payment was $164.00 a month.

    Sold it for $1,000.00 years ago and I know it was still running for another 5 years after that.

    All I ever did was change the oil, and throw some spark plugs and new wires and distributor/rotor cap twice a year on it.
    Put a few sets of tires on.

    Brakes never replaced.
    Clutch never replaced.

    Really happy with mine, under 100k. Feels like it will keep going for a long time. I do the scheduled maintenance stuff religiously, but imo finding an expert on lifted tacos is the best way to go for someone like me (not at all an expert).
