135k on the Tundra. Hope to run it up to as close to 200k as I can without too much problems. Have not had any issues to date and don't anticipate any on a Toyota. I put 108k in the first 7 years and less than 30k in the last 4 years so dropped the annual mileage by almost 1/2 due to commuting on a motorcycle for work. My current TM is the 3rd RV in 12 years and 2nd TM. The Tundra has approx. 30k miles towing use. Leather interior is still in very good condition and am very happy with the truck. It has hauled, towed, carried, and performed as I expected it to when purchased new. No payments, no complaints....

Coming up on 58k on the Dodge, almost all of it towing. We tow something at least once a week on average. Since we had to make the run back home going to have the brakes looked at. When damp sometimes it sounds like the squealers are telling me its time for pads.

We usually keep a vehicle for 10 years, our little jeep, a 90 wrangler is still going strong at somewhere in the area of 140,000

I have about 75K on the Tundra, it had 50K when I bought it and it's rare that i drive it unless there's something attached to the hitch. Probably about 9K of the miles were towing the TM's.

I got no good paying job anymore...so it's got to last! The good news is that it's still nice to drive and well maintained. Is "got no" proper english?

We bought the Chevy in 2002, it had about 24K on it. It now has ? about 78K on it? Not sure, it's down in the barn, we don't drive it very much. We plan on it lasting for at least 7 -10 more years. It's been very gently used, just like our TM.

Default 4Runner

We bought our 4runner with 133000 miles in 2011, towed the TM to Alaska and back, and it now has 162000 miles, mostly towing miles since purchase.

We are religious about oil changes (synthetic), but nothing else has gone wrong so far. Great vehicle, and we have been lucky as well.

Thumbs up Good questsion.

128,000 on a 1997 3/4 ton Chevy Cheyenne 4x4.

As I have said before, some people have dogs, I have the truck.

It is one of my hobbies. I do most of the work.

What cannot be performed at home is done at a friends shop.

Hope to get a few more miles and years out of it.

It sits more than anything and I make up reasons to drive it here in the

flatlands of Georgia when it is not towing the TM.... In Santa Fe it was

used in the mountains, snow, mud, etc... here.... oh well....

Thank you for the question. Glad to hear what is out there.
