We had a 2007 Tacoma, extended cab 4WD with the 4.0 V-6 and 6-speed manual transmission, We sold it a few years ago with 248,00 miles on the odometer. Other than normal service, the only thing we had done was to replace the middle U-Joint in the rear drive shaft.
We bought a 2012 Tundra with the 5.7 engine and auto transmission which will probably turn 200,000 on the odometer in a week or two. So far, we've done nothing but the routine maintenance. We have used it to pull a 16-ft double axle flat bed for our Polaris Ranger throughout the Rockies. We loaded the truck and the trailer with all the appliances and furniture that they would hold, and my wife drove it up to southwest Wisconsin for one of her friends. Both of us have put a lot of off-road miles on it in some pretty rough and rocky parts of the west.
My wife now wants a new 4WD Tacoma all to herself, but I will be driving the Tundra for at least another 100K or more.
