Default Re: How many miles do you have on your Tacoma WITHOUT any problems?

I have a 2001 Tacoma, SR5 Prerunner Double Cab, 2.7L Auto, 2WD, TRD off road package

Hasn't had a single problem, 90,000 miles.

I bought it used from the Toyota dealer with 64K miles on it, Certified pre-owned, and I'm confident that it never had any problems because the previous owner kept it in above excellent condition, with 3,000 mile oil change intervals with complete dealer service records. I still get the oil changed every 3k miles.

I'm not sure what the reason was, but the front brakes were overpowering the rear brakes and doing more work than necessary, which I noticed due to an obscene amount of front axle brake dust, highly occasional front axle brake squeaking, and stopping on a dime / almost being thrown through the windshield if I even THOUGHT about pressing the brake pedal, even slightly. So at 84k miles they replaced the front brake pads, front rotors and cleaned / adjusted the rear brakes, which put the braking system back in balance and solved the problem. Unfortunately it was like a $500 repair. Ouch!

But other than new tires/brakes, nothing has had to be replaced.
