99 Tacoma v6 4wd manual shift 167,000 plus a few thousand added per month
followed the manual exactly on maintenance schedule, just did the second timing gear change, second set of new tires, stock everything, mostly hiway miles, but it is going strong
this truck has been perfect for me, when and if the gas engine ever gives up, I hope the small Toyoda diesels are legal in the US as the body and frame of this truck is still perfect.

Me? Too many miles to count.
'89 Corolla 262, 000
'95 4Runner 223,000
'99 4Runner 60,000
The Corolla is still running great, but all the cheap plastic is rotting off. Had a steady diet of synthetic oil its whole life and still doesn't burn a drop. Even has the original clutch. Say bye-bye to it. It's going to a new home in the near future.
The '95 4Runner is pretty doggone clean, but does leak some oil. Gonna change the darned PCV valve this week.
The '99 is a nice vehicle, nearly showroom, but I can tell you right now, it's no where near as sturdy as the '95. Lot of flex in the frame, sheetmetal feels thinner and more plastic. We'll see which one lasts longer. The 3.4 is a great engine though.

131,000mi on wife's 98 Camry NO PROBS - ZILCH! (knock on wood) 
1,500mi on 04 Runner everything tight so far, except the driver's seat - it makes a little clunking noise in turns and when moving around in seat.
A coworker has a 95 Avalon 300,000mi - he showed me.

For those of you that have driven a majority of those high miles, what are your driving habits? Do you floor it everywhere and keep the engine at high RPMs or do you drive easy and slow? I am assuming that regualr maintenance was always done on time.
