I have an 02 Tacoma with the V6, manual transmission. It just turned 230,000 miles this week in Ketchikan, Alaska. That's a little more than 3,000 miles from home. I never gave a second thought whether it would make it or not
My son gave it to me in May 2015 with 185,000 miles. I've used it to go camping for 10 months of the last 24 months. Gotta do something when you're retired!
The only issues have been rubber parts like boots, belts, etc have worn out as expected for a 15 yr old vehicle. My son replaced the timing belt at 175,000 miles.
But any dollar I spend on maintenance is the only money I've put into it!
