About how many miles are too many for a used truck?

I've been scouring for a Taco in my price range for the past month or so, but everything is pretty high up there in mileage. I figure 200k is a hard cutoff point for a purchase, but what about 100K, 150K, and numbers around there?

Would a Tacoma with 100k still be a good purchase?

 

I wouldn't be afraid of one with 100,000 or slightly more. When you get to 150,000+ then it needs to be priced at a point where I know I can afford to pay to replace a few things. FWIW, my 07 has 247,000 miles on it. I trust it and would be shocked if I don't get at least 300,000 before needing any major engine or transmission work done.

But I put all of those miles on it and know the truck. I wouldn't buy my truck from someone else at any price.

I've got a 2010 that just hit 200K today!

 

How mechanically able are you, whats the biggest auto job you've done previously and how long ago was that? Or are you just gonna pay a shop to deal with any repairs?

My 2008 dclb 4.0 trd sport 4x4 has 240K, I bought it in 2017 with 160K and have replaced the u joints twice, the alternator, the steering rack and entire suspension except the leaf springs, pass side valve cover gasket. I admit the 4x4 front axle actuator isn't working but I haven't needed 4x4 in 5 years so I ignore it.

 

Depends on the year IMO.

I wouldn’t hesitate on a 2007-2011ish in good shape with 150K. I have one that is running strong with 280K on it.

 

I recently bought a 2015 with 100k on it. Drives like new. If it was cared for 100k is nothing

 

I'm looking at a Gen 3.

 

To add, check the VIN and see if it's ever been in a cold weather state. Frame could be an issue...if not rust/rot already you need to make sure if it's had inspections that it perhaps should have by Toyota.

 

Had an AE86 with 350k miles, another reaching almost 200k
3rd gen 4Runner at 250k and a 4th gen at 260k miles

feel confident, buy it
