High mileage 3rd gen purchase

So, as title states bought a 2017 with high mileage back in September. Had a 2001 before this one, loved it . But frame was to the point I just couldn’t trust it anymore. Still ran great though. Anyway I really wanted another Tacoma , found this one with 150k that was a 1 owner and well maintained. Read through this forum a lot for problems I might run into. So far I have put about 5,000 miles on it and think it’s pretty well built truck with a big upgrade in comfort from my first gen. Anyone looking for a truck shouldn’t be scared of higher miles on these trucks. Like to hear from others that may have bought a higher mileage 3rd

I read through that right after my purchase, seems there weren’t a lot of higher mileage 3rd gen’s. One guy had over 300k , hope to see it myself.

 

Here is another thread to check out.

That’s a great post, thank you. Missed that one in my search. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Fingers and toes crossed for you brother! Keep up with your maintenance and set aside several thousand dollars for when something breaks, because it will happen!

 

My brother's 2nd Gen. is closing in on 300k... still chugging away great!

 

I agree with you , I think the 3 rd Gen is built nice . I also owned two 1 st gens one auto and one manual . This is definitely an upgrade . Everyone has been stellar , so no complaints . From the pics it looks like the original owner of yours took good care of it so I wouldn’t worry very much . Just keep up with maintenance and above all keep that oil as clean as possible
