Really, not much has needed to be done outside of reg maint. Hell, i went 10 years before I had to replace a headlight or taillight bulb.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Only a mere 95k on mine yet, she's got many years and miles of road left in her! FYI, you've already driven the distance to the moon and halfway back so we know our trucks can make it to the moon and back if there was a road to it!

    Do you use synthetic oil? What interval do you change your oil at?

    No synthetic. And I only change the oil at 15k. I know you guys are going to rag on me but sorry. I don't waste oil every 3k.

    Wow, that goes to show how tough the 3.4 is, 15k is hyper extending an oil change on conventional oil! I don't even go that long on my synthetic, when it hits 7500 the oil gets dropped and replaced. How does the oil look when you drain it after that long?

    Wow, 15k on conventional. Let me guess, you just buy the oil that's on sale. You don't even worry about brand name. I get nervous when I'm approaching my 5k interval and haven't changed the oil yet. I guess now I'll relax about it.

    Congrats!

    Mine had 4 miles on it when I picked it up.
    The challenger I ordered this year came in with 1 mile on it, the salesman put 8 miles on it.
    I was absolutely livid.

    Could be worse, my truck had 12 miles on it when I put a deposit down and had 250 on it when I finally took delivery. I'd test driven a couple of automatics and really wanted a manual and couldn't find one anywhere locally, so the sales guy told me they could get one from a sister dealership in Nashville. What they didn't tell me was that some kid from the service department was going to go down and drive it back.....

    Either way, this is definite hope that I'll have it for years to come.

    You must like to waste money then. You don't have the compression to make hi octane gas beneficial.
