I do believe that in 20yrs of working on vehicles this is the highest mileage I have seen. 424,910. A little Toyota pickup

Holly crap!

That's up there !

Back in the 90's I had got rid of a Yota 4x4 that was well kept but because it had 188,000 I figured it had done its time ... what was I thinking ? lol

AC issue. Solid little truck other than that.

Nice. The most I ever got out of a vehicle was 244,000. That was a 98 Silverado. But did have transmission rebuilt at 125000. Motor still was quiet as a mouse and didn't leak or burn oil.

not bad at all, and pretty typical of Toyotas, the are the energizer bunny of trucks.

they are just getting broken in at 100k miles

dad had a 454 chevy tow truck that got 677K miles...........had a two quart royal purple set up on it.

It was featured in the "Like a rock" commercials chevy used to have...........

Dad was on camera saying "it always gave me my dollar when I needed my dollar".........was a great commercial and showed my dad at his proudest.

If only I could have been a truck back then..........LOL

Man that is awesome. Do you know if that commercial is anywhere on the internet? I would like to see that. Nothing better than hard working folks getting it done. Props to your dad.

That's aweome. Sad when we buy a $40k vehicle now and pray it can make it to 100k miles.

I worked at an oil change place years back. Had an old guy that did hot shot work with his Toyota t100, guy had over a million miles on it. He told us Toyota gave him a watch when the truck hit 1,000,000

Damn that's cool. Hope it was a good watch. That's doing some rolling.

MarshRat89 06-30-2015 05:59 PM
