My day job
You’re making me regret not getting a grey truck.
I joined the high mileage 200 club after only having old trucks (60 and 62). 270k 2011, lots of history and very clean TN truck.
Its game changing.

Well for a cheap 200 deal, I couldn't be picky on color. Love your black one. Having said I always love white UN spec. My wife usually has a gray (some version) LX lease every 3 years .
Definitely need to follow your truck, and do preventative maintenance as needed. Is it 270K now, or lot more? I know there are million mile Tundras out there.
270k now. Just did a radiator, and I’m going to baseline all fluids.
I found out that I do have the valley coolant leak but I'm not worried about that like the radiator worried me.
Honestly there is nothing wrong with it. Needs a door handle on the inside drivers door and the cool box just stopped working. Not a squeak or rattle.
I just got the 10mm spacer lift and I’m going do that soon.

Same here - no squeaks or rattles. Love it.
I will also baseline the fluids next week. Mine had the cool box replaced.
The only thing that worries me is the transmission. I just want to do a passive flush of all the fluid asap.

Mine shifts as our other 200 does. But yeah, I will change it as well.
Our RX in the photo (above), has 375K miles, original trans, no issues. I have a FJ62 with 730K miles (my dad bought it new), all original, but on 2nd trans.
I went through the bloodbath of my 62 and trying to keep an auto in that. It was done. Coolant had gotten into trans fluid through the trans cooler. Dead. Strawberry milkshake.
I swapped that to an H55F. The 3FE was completely locked up front carbon and it lives. 292,000 in it currently.
My 60 is at 348,000 miles and still my daily with the 2F.
I trust a high mileage Toyota.

My life motto. Trust my Toyotas more than my wife and kids

Ordered a new wood shift knob and a TRD one - to see which one I will like in person.
