New Member with nearly Half a Million Miles on a Tacoma

Hello everyone,
New member and I have been enjoying the forum. I wanted to share my '04 Tacoma. The company I work for bought it as a service truck in January of 2004 and I began driving it on my pest control route. We retired it last week at 442,000 miles! The company sold it to me at a bargain price since I am the only person who has ever driven it The only problems it has had in the past ten years are replacement of the clutch and the timing chain was replaced at 400,000. She still runs quiet and smooth even with ridiculous mileage and I hope to get another 100,000 out of it at the least. Nothing really to look at but I am really proud of her.

 

Nice.

 

Sweet! Welcome to TW!

 

I had a '99 ext cab v6 4wd with over 400k before Toyota bought is back from me for frame rot.

Welcome to TW! You are amongst friends

 

Thanks! Glad to be here! The new work truck which replaced the '04 is also a Tacoma. A 2014 2wd with Access Cab. I have LOTS more room in it but the 04 is a lot to live up to.

 

I award you the "Iron Back" award for being able to tolerate that uncomfortable upright seat for that many miles!

 

Believe me at 10 hours per day road time for 10 years it was no picnic! lol Very reliable little truck though....cassette player and all.

 

That's amazing man

 

That's awesome! Here's to many more miles!

 

Welcome TW man! Congrats on the 400,000+! Thats Awesome! You'd have 4 Toyota Pins!

 

She's a beauty. 400K says a lot about the truck and the driver. Congrats to both of you.
