04 Taco,1 month old,1400 miles: 1200 mile straight trip. OK?
I just got word that a family member is ill and I may need to drive from Denver CO to Grand Rapids MI. The trip is 1200 miles one way.
The taco is 1 month old, has 1400 miles on it as of today.
Technically I am no longer in the 'run in' period. However, is it ok to put this thing on cruise going 80+ for hours on end?
I suspect everything would be just fine and I shouldn't give it another thought.
Any thoughts or experiences?
Thanks

I did a run from Denver to Ft. Lauderdale in my '02 Tacoma and had no problems. Mileage on the other hand was not all that great, but then I did have a topper and a full bed both ways.

In all honesty, you should be just fine, just give her an oil change and you're good to go..
