    2018 sport with 45k miles. Fuel pump recall, TSS front sensor and squeaky clutch pedal recall done.

    My truck spends a lot of time off-road and no squeaks, rattles etc. It’s been rock solid.

    Best vehicle I’ve ever owned, hoping to take it to 300k miles minimum.

    2021 TRD OR Manual with 31K miles. Nothing impressive to report, but also nothing negative to report. Mostly stock besides simple add-ons like lights, except for a regear and 255/75R17s. Hope to take it to high miles, at my rate of about 25K a year, I'll know in a few years how it's doing.

    2016 auto with 163k miles. Had the timing cover leak addressed at 98k under warranty. No actual recalls performed as everything has been working just fine with regular maintenance by me. No paint peel either, just some touching up from the occasional chip.

    Rear diff? Amsoil quieted mine down a bit. My hypothesis is that it lowers the temps and that alters the harmonics.

    I bought my 2017 OR new in April 2017. As of today, I have just under 93K miles on it. Other than routine oil & filter changes, I have changed diff / transmission / transfer case lubes a couple times, and engine air filter, but that is all. I have not yet even changed spark plugs or engine coolant (planning to do both at ~100K miles).

    I also have not done any mods, other than replace the OEM tires with 265/75/16's, on the OEM rims, and last year I had Bilstein 5100's and OME 885 front coils put on. And a Century camper shell.

    I have never had any issues at all with it, never been to a dealer or other mechanic for anything.

    I saw a 2018 online with 600k on it for $10k a few weeks ago.
    Math wise the owner would have to drive on average 350 miles a day

    My 2017 has 106k on it. As far as drivability goes, it has been great. There's a bit of a steering wheel shake, but I chalk that up to the tires and roads, mainly.

    Major issues: none that caused drivability issues, however, I had a timing cover leak discovered at around 100k. They also discovered the water pump and head gaskets were leaking so they replaced all that under warranty. Since then I've had a fuel leak from the back side of the block and a belt squeal-type sound which will all hopefully be getting addressed tomorrow. I've replaced the battery once and swap out LEDs in the summer and winter. The check engine light has not been on once since I've owned it so far. I've put on 90k miles since April 2020 and have only replaced the tires once and plan to again this fall. I've also had the windshield replaced once and now have a chip again, but that can be any vehicle these days.

    I've seen a video of a work truck with 300k on it, and even that is pretty impressive daily mileage for the age of these trucks.

    2020 TRD OffRoad double cab, cement, ~37,500 miles. 5k oil changes and tire rotations. Stock tires have about 15k left on them. Only issue was rust coming through undercoating on frame after 1st Michigan winter. To describe the location of the rust, it was about even with the front of the driver's door. At the 10k oil change dealership rinsed, dried with compressed air, and reapplied sealant.

    The reservoir kept getting low after about 4K. It was either that, the intake gaskets, or head gaskets. No engine issues, not too hot. But losing a quart every 4K. Took pictures each time for warranty proof. Not noticeable sign of leaks. I even checked around the engine and under the trans with light. It sits right on top of the transmission where you cannot see it unless you have a endoscope.
