Keep going. you got a long way to go to catch some of us. i'm at 225,xxx and there's a few around with more than me. All original, but I'm working on changing a few things.

Thats not the best use of money right there. There is some key stuff to do such as Tbelt, Waterpump, plugs and wires, MAF cleaning, tranny and diff drain and fills, chassis and drivetrain lube, and other basic stuff. Outside that, just replace stuff as it starts to fail.... or else you could be spending way more than you need to. And as for your car taking an extra second to start, that could be some real simple stuff like a weak battery, corroded starter contacts, or old wires.... none of which is a big deal to fix.


Toyotas will run forever. I just called to check in on my mom, and she was commenting that she just passed 300,000 on her 1999 Sienna today. That thing has never had more work than brakes, oil changes, and tires.

You guys drive alot.
I just rolled over to 150,000 in my 87 4runner

2000t4r

I have a 161,xxx in my 2000 4runner. I have had no problems accept that I found out that my rear axle seal is leaking.

surf4runner

woodendude

wow, i always thought toyota's last forever..... all this concern over 150k?

i have 150k-ish on the 81, but only 30k on the motor.

i have 286k on my 91 chevy K1500.... original 350 motor, and the trans lasted 260k.... about 100k more then 700r4s normally last.

its all about preventative maintenance. oil changes every 3k (or i run synthetic in my chev at 5k) and keeping the other little things like fuel, air and other filters changed out keep darn near any motor running trouble free for a long, long time.

Let the miles climb, I am at 210,000 miles on my 3.0 and also original clutch, keep care of it from now on and you will be laughing.

BAZ

Damn, I'm only at 140k on my '94. Looks like I have a lot of miles to go before I get a new truck.

ARB1977

150K for an 02....my 02 only has 85K.

Elton

160k on my 98 running great

grovedogg

i have 184,xxx on my 84... HA
but that's nothing.. my wife;s old 96 camry 4cyl had 275,000 when we gave it to her sister...
She's driven it every day for 8 months now, and shes gettin really close to the 300K mark, with no major problems, never been rebuilt! that deserves a sticker or something....

woodendude

Forgot to mention that's Miles on my 95 not kilos, so I guess I'm up there around 430,000 kil.

dairyjato

ive got 222,500 miles on my 98 3.4 auto everythings original except battery, and T-belt I hardly ever see over 3k on rpms

4x4phil

Im good to go at 113K on my 2002 3.4

boardstar

hey, im about 600km away from the 150,000 club myself and just stumbled upon this thread. I havent heard anything about this engine failure problem between the 4000-5000 RPM acceleration range. I do have a heavy foot sometimes, is this something i should be concerned about?

Ive got a '99 TRD taco (got it @125k) and it was fairly well taken care of. Ive done all the regular maintenance myself (except for when i broke the e-locker) and things seem well. what are the signs of this danger?

deines97runnah

143,000 on a 97 3.4l auto. I hate seeing that odometer turn.

Keep it up, y'all! Those Yota's have a long way to go. Mine will hit 403,000 miles on the way to work in just a few minutes. Original engine, just a t-chain and a valve job at 300K. Tranny needed new bearings and synch's at about 185K, but that's when I was abusing it every day for a work truck... heavy loads. Been through a couple of clutches, too.

As far as warming up, I do it everyday. At least 1-2 minutes of idling before I take off, nothing excessive.
