The 1.2 million mile Tacoma

https://youtu.be/8glWcEuxw3U

 

And he is in our neck of the woods!!!! That's awesome!

He bought that at a dealership in Raleigh too that is one of the bigger ones in NC

 

Poor guy drives 425 miles a day.. damnnnn

and he changes oil every 10k.. so you change every 3k guys.. get a grip !

 

did you notice the bigfoot walking in the back at 2:55 haha

 

Ha. I just went back and watched that. You have a good eye.

 

New engine at 880K, so the chassis is 1.2mil miles, not the whole Tacoma.
Are those smaller diameter tires than factory even for a 2.7? If so, physically it's not even 1.2mil miles. Yea Im a hater

 

wow I have a long way to go!

 

700k+ on OE spark plugs!!
I feel like shit for putting mine off till spring.

 

Still 880K on 1 motor is pretty impressive.

 

5 lug, non 4x4
dem the factory shoe size...

But I agree, engine replacement = NFG, click bait.

Still 800mi... that's like 1.2m KM's!

there's hope for me yet! ( 399,500 km's right now )


*edited for clarity*

 

Wow, I was contemplating buying a new Tacoma next year when it's payed off but I'll probably have only 50,000 or so miles on it. So screw it I'm keeping it until the wheels fall off!

 

He said he changes his oil once a month so I'd argue 3,000 is not nearly often enough for most people

(I'm kidding)

 

I feel like he should have 4x4 for delivering medicine in the mid Atlantic area where we get legit snow.

Oh, and he got 700,000 miles out of the original plugs. HOLY SMOKES. And he's never flushed the transmission. Original shocks. I feel like I am wasting my money doing maintenance. These trucks don't need it.

 

Those 2tr-fe motors are like tanks very slow but very durable.

 

Welcome, Jeff.

What do you drive?

 

With regular oil changes and other fluid changes, I'd be happy to have my truck to get half that mileage. I'm glad that I'd probably not have to ever give up my truck!

 

He said he drives for work. If all those miles are work related and his employer paid him the current IRS mileage rate of 55.5 cents per mile, after 1.2MM miles he got $654,000. Less the cost of the 60,000 gallons of gas he's used ($150,000 at $2.50 per gallon) then his truck has made him $504,000.

Even if he is not reimbursed (maybe he's self employed) but gets to deduct the mileage on his taxes, the deduction of $654,000 (1.2MM miles x 55.5 cents) over the past 10 years at a tax rate of 30% is still almost $200,000 in tax savings. That basically pays for his gas.
