Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives Tacoma 100,000+mileage?

Anyone here got some 100,000+ mi. Tacoma's still kickin' strong?

I've got 138,000 on my '07. It's a 4cyl 4X4 w/5sp stick. I've replaced one front wheel bearing and a airbag thingie that they just let me know I will be getting reimbursed for the cost.

I changed the plugs like it says to do, and while I was at it,the serpentine belt, and the battery, too. Battery and belt were fine, but I thought, what the heck...

It's really been the best rig I've had.

I've had a Toyota truck (pre-Tacoma when they only made one small size), Tacoma, T100 and a Tundra. They all went WELL over 100k. The first truck went close to 400K, the others were around 200K before I sold them. They were still going strong too.

Had over 100,000 on my 99 Tacoma when I sold it to my BIL. Had to replace the contacts in the starter in 13 years of ownership....other than that was just routine maintenance. Well over 100,000 is the norm for these vehicles.

My brother has a 2003 with 220,000 miles .its his work truck and it gets the crap abused out of it ..tows contruction trailers that weigh more then the truck specs allow. Tuneups , oil changes , one wheel bearing and a fuel injector in all that time. He retired it a few months back and just uses it as a daily driver now. His Wifes Taco is a 92 model with 250,000 and it is a daily driver as well. He has owned at least 1/2 dozen 4cyl trucks and 250k would be the least amount of mileage on anyone of them before he sold them. He had employees driving them and he lives in what I would call extreme conditions every day.

yeah i think he likes them

I have 2005 4x4 that had its 210,000 mile service a couple or three months ago. Aside from normal maintenance, the only thing I have had to do was replace the middle U-joint in the rear drive shaft at 150,0000 miles--wasn't broken but was getting loose. I regularly pull a double axle flatbed trailer with my Ranger on board, and have hauled heavier loads than that a time or two. Been a really good truck so far...

I've got a 98 4Runner, which is basically the same except for 4 doors, a hatch, and coil springs in the back. I'm nearing 190k and things are going well. What's amazing is how many examples of that bodystyle 4Runner I see on the road every day, especially when you consider that they quit making it 10 years ago. The Tacoma got a new model about 9 years ago and there are a ton of the older ones still on the road today.

What kind of mileage do you guys get with your 4x4 Tacoma's? 4cyl or 6cyl?

I have a 2009 double cab 6cyl auto 4x4 TRD ..I get 21 mpg on the highway...high teens around town. Only upgrades on it are Michelin LTX ms/2 tires and synthetic oil

Mine was a 99 extended cab, 4wd, 5 speed, 2.7 liter running 31x10.50x15's and I got 17-18 in town and 21-24 on the highway. To get the best mileage I had to keep it under 60.

My 4cyl "truck" would get 28 on the highway. The 4cyl Tacoma about 24 in the highway. Both had stock tires and I usually ran 70-75. My V6 T100 was 21.

Mine is an extended cab with the 4.0 liter V-6 and 6-speed manual. I average 20-22 mpg on the highway. Burning through full tanks of gas on the interstate at 75 mph (and up) knocks it down into the 19-20 mpg range. It doesn't spend enough time "in town" to get a decent estimate.

Ditto, except mine is a 08 4x2. 85K on it and no issues just regular maintenance.

My '07 4cyl gave me 25mpg on the hwy when i first got it. I even argued a little with Brad on here about him saying he only got 20 with his, but now mine is down to 21 mixed hiway and city, and last winter I got 20 a couple of times.

I usually drive pretty fast and I also have a canopy and a winch on it, so there's a little extra weight. I'm running stock size/rating TOYO A/Ts for tires.

My T100 had 250K on it when I sold to neighbor.....neighbor added 100K and still driving....one U joint and a set of brakes and ball joints.....I'm 108 miles to first traffic light so brakes last a long time.

My 05 Taco had 150 K when I totaled on a bull moose.....


I've never worn one out.

Here's our 96 Tacoma. Dad bought another Tacoma this year and kicked this one to me. It's a 3.4 V6 Auto 4x4 that hasn't required anything but normal maintenance. I get 20mpg on the hwy.

07 Double cab 4X4 V6, bought new on Aug. 27 2007. 108,000 miles. So far I've replaced front brakes, plugs, and tires X2. Other than oil and filter that is it.

Most of my driving is a mix of city and rural highways and I get around 18mpg. On a road trip I get between 20-21 mpg

Great to see someone taking care of a vehicle properly. Great looking truck

My kid has a 2006 with a v6 6 speed..he is getting pretty darn good gas mileage even though he has a heavier foot then I do

Ours is a 2000 extended cab 4x4, with 4-cylinder and manual transmission. Bought it used in 2003 at 44,000 miles and it now has 153,000. Nothing done to it except regular maintenance since we've had it, and it averages around 24 on the highway when running 65-70.

Before that had a full-time 4WD Corolla wagon that had 184,000 on it when traded in on the Tacoma. Basically the same sort of maintenance with it, and it was still getting the same 32-33 mpg on the highway it got right after we bought it new in 1989. Might be still running it if we hadn't decided we needed more room for bird dogs and dead big game.
