I’ve clocked over 250k miles, and my secret is keeping up with the timing belt replacement every 90k miles. It’s crucial!

Wow, that’s impressive! Do you have a special routine for your maintenance, or do you follow the manual?
Make sure to flush your coolant every couple of years. Overheating can lead to major issues if neglected!
I was told that a consistent driving pattern can also help. Highway miles are easier on the vehicle than city driving.

Definitely! I’ve learned that not overloading the truck is important too. Less weight means less strain.
Don’t forget about the battery! Check connections and clean terminals regularly to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Good point! A dead battery can ruin an otherwise great day. Always have jumper cables handy!
What’s everyone’s take on aftermarket parts? I’ve been tempted to upgrade my suspension for better off-road durability.
I believe quality matters. A good aftermarket part can enhance longevity if it’s from a trusted brand!
I’ve had my Tacoma for over 180,000 miles! The key is regular maintenance. I encountered some minor issues with the brakes, but nothing major.
That’s impressive! I’ve only hit 120k and had to replace the trans fluid. What maintenance routine do you follow?

I got my Tacoma at 90,000 miles, and now it’s at 210,000! I did replace the timing belt around 170k. Always check the oil regularly, everyone!

What an achievement, tara66! My buddy’s Tacoma made it to 250,000 before it started giving him trouble. Amazing brand reliability.
I’m at 140k and just replaced the front bearings. My mechanics say I should keep it for at least another 100k! What do you think?
Wow, wcooper! Sounds like you’re on the right track. I sometimes wonder how long mine will last too. Any major issues?
I’ve heard of Tacomas going past 300k, but they do need care! I try to keep mine clean and do preventive maintenance.
That’s what I aim for! I’m curious, what preventive measures do you take?
I’ve only gone 100k with mine, but I’m ready to conquer more! What’s the average lifespan of parts?
It’s all about how well you treat it. I’ve met guys who’ve had their Tacomas to 400k, but they were picky about repairs!
Do you think it’s worth it to upgrade parts for longevity?
