Just turned 200,000 on the Tundra

Turned the big 200,000 on the Tundra today. My last record was 164,000 on a 94 Chevy. The Tojo is going into the shop Tues for it's pre-show teardown and go thru. Who knows what it will haul back from PA!

What year is that Tundra?

What is a teardown and go thru???

[squonk 41,020]

06 . Besides a regular oil change and tire rotation I have them look at the brakes,suspension, timing belt, every nut and bolt. If it needs anything I tell them to do it. 3 yrs in a row, it hasn't.

My 2016 has 11000 miles.  I do not really like it but it had better last like yours.

@squonkYou should be good for at least another 100,000.  I had an 06 Tundra company truck that had 320,000 before the company replaced it with a 2015 Tundra.

I had a 2006 Sequoia which had the same running gear as the Tundra. I had 236k on it and was going for 300k. But I hit a deer and totaled it

My wife's brother-in-law has a 2000 Ford F-150 that has over 400,000 miles on it, with original engine and transmission.  It has the 4.2 V-6 and 5 speed manual.

Keep up the maintenance and you can drive a long time.

 

Two of my cars are over 30 years old, my wife's Sable is a 98 and I drive a 2002 F150.

 

Never had a driveline failure in anything.

 

Rust seems to be the killer but I oil spray my winter drivers every year.

Well it went in today. Keep in mind I bought this truck with 150,000 miles on it. I have replaced the muffler and tail pipe because it rotted and a sway bar link because it broke. I replaced the rad because the fins got mushy no leaks. And I replaced the shocks because I wanted to. I just called them. I had them check the gas tank,gas lines,brake lines calipers,wheel bearings, rack and pinon, steering, hoses. Changed the oil and tire rotation. I needed....................... a tail light bulb!   Out the door with tax $52.95

Since, Cents, Sense Sents, the Tojo really needed nothing for the 3rd year in a row I treated it to some new head lite capsules from The Headlight Depot. Old ones were getting shabby. I even splurged for the super whoopie lamps!
