I Should Have Got A Tundra Instead Of A Tacoma

Here's What A Toyota Truck Looks Like After 1,000,000 Miles


Toyota is going to dismantle and study this 2007 Tundra pickup truck, which single-owner Victor Sheppard put over a million miles on in less than a decade. It’s still standing strong with the original engine, transmission and paint job.

Sheppard just swapped the truck out for a new one at a dealership near New Orleans. Apparently the 2016 Tundra he has now is the 16th Tundra he’s owned in his lifetime. Big fan of the brand!
 
Toyota says the million-mile truck, which has the V6 engine*, has survived this long with no extraordinary maintenance outside “timing belt replacements, oil changes, and the manufacturer’s regularly scheduled check-ups,” in a press release.

Editor's note: I use to own a 2002 Toyota Tacoma. When I sold it, it had over 250k miles. In that time, it need to have the top end rebuilt twice.
