    2017. Just kicked over 220,000 miles last week. It has received regular fluid and filter changes, one set of pads and rotors, front and rear shocks, and one battery. Only to dealer for spark plugs and trans fluid changes because I just to do not want to deal with it. Everything else done in the driveway. Never had one issue at all or need for any repair work. Likely will get a new one in a few years.

    2018 at 48K miles. Had the third break light, and fuel pump recall done. I also had my clutch cylinder replaced due to a TSB.

    none of these things failed but the dealership had them done anyway and I’m not gonna say no to updated parts.

    no other problems so far.

    Hitting the 90,000 mark, I think I have actually, and so far, knock on wood, this thing is amazing. 2 batteries, maintenance, and a recall on a blower fan for the heater/ac. Yep, this truck is a keeper.

    2017 just clicked (I know, they don’t do that anymore) over 80k with no issues except peeling paint I don’t care about. I work it hard though, off-roading on old mine roads, pulling a trailer and I always keep too much weight in it along with full steel sliders and skids, along with the RTT and everything else.

    My 2021 is at 37k and is fine, the only issue is that the transfer case takes a long time to engage and sometimes the indicator keeps flashing even after it's engaged/disengaged. Sometimes there's a thud when it disengages. Showed it to the dealership and they said it's fine. I'm not so sure, I may want to have a non-dealership shop dig into it. But other than that, zero issues.

    They do have a fix for the AC . It’s an auxiliary fan kit and if you complain they will install it for free

    I've had my 2020 SR5 since July 2020. It now has just over 30,000 miles. So far the only repair was a replacement battery the dealer replaced for free with a 75 month toy sure start Battery for free because I told them the OEM was leaking. They said that wasn't normal.
    Other than that only oil changes every 5k, and state inspections.


    My AC usually seems to work too good most days in the summer. I have noticed one day we were up in the upper 90s it seemed to struggle a bit especially sitting in traffic. I wonder if this is something I notice again that they would install that for me being I'm not in a sunbelt state.
