i have 315k on my '79. a teacher of mine in high school had 600k on his '82, and it still ran fine
i've heard if you send toyota a pic of your odometer and you're in the 300,000 mile club, they'll send you a gold keychain or something to that effect

255,000 and counting now.....havent turned the engine over in 5 days though waiting for my timing belt kit to get here...
So 45K to go to get my gold keychain! LoL
btw in that link they talk about a chevy avalanche being bought back by the dealer....LOL
WELLL the Vortec 6000 and Vortec 8100 both have SERIOUS oil consumption problems. 1 qt being burned off every 1000 miles is considered NORMAL!! Not even my old super leaky engine goes through that much oil!!

I don't know about you, but where I live (Canada), the Yota dealerships are actually relatively competitive in terms of servicing to that of the generic oil change/maintenance shops.

Remember the "Tell your 100,200,300K mile story" a couple years back,The old man who won with over 900K on his '69 hilux gets a new truck every year for the rest of his life. And get this, his choice of trucks, too.

"I have a customer that has 670,000 & some odd miles on an old Chevy truck. Chevy (not a stealership) offerd him a brand new truck (2 years ago) for it but he refused. I asked him why he refused and he replied in a sarcastic voice "It's lasted this long, why do they think I would want to get rid of it?"
I like this. I have 427k on my '96 and i was shooting for the million miles but I think now I am driving it till it dies and then I will make it into a rock crawler,lol,

I've got 320,000 miles on my 99 limted. I took my family on a 1,000 round trip vacation this past summer without any worries. I would not have done that if I had any quesitons about it.
500,000 will be easy.
