Long running 2.7L mileage thread over in the 4-cylinder section of the forum. There are a few members with 500-600K miles.

 

Am I in the wrong section if the forum???

 

Nope. Just giving you some threads that are already open with what you are looking for.

There's a search feature up in the right hand corner for you as well (not being an ass, just letting the new guy know where it is )

Welcome by the way!

 

Awesome! Welcome to the TW. I like reading long mileage threads, gives me hope for my truck

 

How many miles when you bought it?

 

Impressive. What's the spark plug change interval on the 4cyl? I take it it's not 30k like the V6.

 

The 2.7L in the 2nd-gen originally had 100K spark plug changer interval. After a few years Toyota switched to iridium plugs and went to 120K interval.

 

Thanks for the help.. when I test drive it at the dealer it had .7 of a mile on it...if you use factory plugs 100k....
I've used iridium..... with a soft bed cover on and keeping it at around 70mph I can get 500 miles to the tank easily..I drive 65 miles to work one way..

 

Where ya living?

 

Palmdale Ca, Northern L.A. County

 

I was curious if you bought it used, because you said you went through 3 sets of tires. 3 sets over the span of 370,000 miles would be an avg. life span of 123,000 mi. per set. I'm assuming there were a couple sets you forgot about.

 

It had .7 of a mile when I got it and the factory Dunlops lasted 179,000. All freeway miles..no bs I was driving 180 miles per day back then.

 

I don't know bro...

 

Well pigpen in L.A. That's what we do, drive, drive, drive in winter too can you believe that??????? maybe not in Montana huh.. There is always a douche-bag with 5000+ posts who knows everything....This is my third toy vehicle but the only one I bought with less than one mile on it and therefore I documented everything as far as maintenance goes. It may be unbelievable but BS, No ... Anyone curious about how long parts will last on a stock standard toy pick up drop me a line I'll give you all the well documented info...
