It went 190,000 with basically zero problems before we traded it in on a 2000 Tacoma 4WD with 44,000 miles on it in 2004. Still driving the Tacoma with 238,000 miles on it. Runs great, and hope to never have to replace it....

The other pickup we bought the same year was a 2000 F350 with 66,000 on it. Still driving it too, and because we only put on 6000-8000 miles a year, hope to never replace it either.
