In addition to the incredible durability of these trucks, the thing I always find amazing is just how close to new they are, even with miles that would be unthinkable on other vehicles! I just sold my 330k mile 2000 to my brother in law, and not only did the truck drive like a 30,000 mile vehicle, everything works as it should, and it's still COMPLETELY squeak and rattle-free! Based on that experience, and with other 100s I've had, I had ZERO reservations when I recently bought my 2006 with 275k on it.........I knew it was nowhere near being used up.
Contrast these trucks to a well-maintained, 87,000 mile, 2000 model, 7-series BMW that was GIVEN to a friend of mine. Though never wrecked, but always garaged and maintained, by 87k it is just junk. It still smells good inside, but it was given to him without cost because it just always. needed. something.
I've realized I like working on a vehicle because I want to, not because I have to.
Thanks Toyota!
