200,000kms on my 3VZ-E!

Well yesterday i finally passed the 200,000km (120,000miles) mark on my odometer, original engine, no major work done, I'm only the 2nd owner and have owned it for the last 47,000kms and 4 years of it's life.

Congrats Phyl. I imagine it's been a while since your truck has seen snow.

120k miles ain't even broken in yet ... there's a thread on here where people are posting up 300k or even 400k MILES, not km's!

I can think of one 3vze I've driven with that few km. Careful with km, it confuses and frightens some yotatecher's.

thanks 4 the reply guys, it is still a baby and it's kicking better than ever right now.
And i have been told it rides like a brand new 2009 hilux! no joke, 12 people have told me this now. once i paint it, it'll look as new as it runs and rides!
that is what sold me was the low low mileage, it was a woman's winter only vehicle lol
i expect to roll the odometer on this engine. it may not have 5VZ-FE power but it gets the job done everywhere else ^_^
