Where are some high mileage Gen 3s at? I’d love to see where all y’all are at!

How long do you plan on driving it? What’s a real realistic mileage you think a Gen 3 could get? Thanks!

 

There is a thread on this already. Something like the 300k mile club. One fella has between 300 and 400..

I'm planning on 200K if I live long enough, assuming ICE vehicles don't get banned.
Based on the way it's going this should not be a problem.

 

We should do a thread of oldest lowest mileage third gen since we have so many high mileage threads.

 

Welcome Jonah

 

There is one.

 

I wonder who has the mediumest mileage though

 

Me

Currently putting 2k/mo on mines.

 

you cant say that and then NOT add a link

 

If I knew how I would have. Screen shot.

 

It depends how many engine and differential replacements you're willing to accept. Should be able to hit 200K miles with two engines and if the stars align and you're living right, the original diff should last the life of the truck or at least until the warranty is up.

The other factor, and probably the most important, is to run Toyota brand

$59 0W20 oil Toyota/ exxon mobil Case of 6 Quarts Full Synthetic TGMO SN 0W-20 Oil

0W20 oil and filter, and change it every 5K miles.

 

What's the age requirement...2016?

I am close to 16K and I've had my 2021 Sport 18 months!

But then again, there are owners who are barely putting any miles on their Tacoma...

 

2018, bought 2/8/18 just turned 26K

 

Dang!

I know this isn't a competition but...dividing 26K by 4 years is 6500 miles per year!

We estimate 10K per year for insurance purposes so anything under that number is good.

Gotta remember that short trips less than 2 miles is not good for the battery.

And letting it sit...well, that's out of the question unless you put a battery tender on it.

I have a battery tender on my riding mower...and the darn battery is 5 years old! (which is the time to swap it so I'm good!)

Keep enjoying your Tacoma!

 

Not that it's a lot of miles but I see some used ones listed anywhere between 60 and 100k.

Check the used listings.

I wonder why people are getting rid of them. I'm guessing they are trading in for new. Or these are rentals.

Edit:

Here's a 400k miler, maybe it's a typo. IDK?

Most likely because it's out of warranty, and/or used market is crazy over priced now.

 

2019 with 21k here.

 

Yeah those sound like good reasons. The majority of Toyota sales must be repeat buyers.
I see the same thing with 4Runners and GX, usually around 3 years old or less and around 60k miles. Most of the time they are certified pre owned.

If I was putting a good bit of miles on a vehicle, and didn't care about getting the vehicle paid off. Trading in late model Toyotas is probably the way to go.

It still seems weird to trade in vehicles that are know for their longevity.
