Re: How many miles do you have on your Tacoma WITHOUT any problems?
97 Toyota Tacoma ext cab 4 cyl 4wd. Owned 11 years and 174,000 miles so far. Routinely maintained and still drives like new. Will keep until Toyota starts building trucks like they used to again.
Have had to fix the well known problems for this year truck, but worth it because it's still solid:
- new starter contacts 90000 miles
- one front tie rod replaced 100000 miles
- broken rear leaf springs and rear shocks replaced 120000 miles
- U joint replaced 120000 miles.
- oxygen sensors and mass air flow sensor replaced 160000 miles.
Original exhaust and battery lasted 10 years before needing replacement.
Drivers seat padding wore out years ago, but adding a seat cushion fixed that. Also had to replace front brake calipers this year when one seized up. Rear brake drums still original.
No rust despite New England winters. Generally 24 mpg in summer to 20 mpg in winter. Mileage went back up 50 miles per tank when I got all the sensors and stuff fixed last spring.
Anyone with high miles ever wore out the clutch?
