My 1998 Toyota Tacoma, which I bought new, now has over 457,000 miles on it. I've kept it well maintained. Original engine. Not for sale. Keeping it, as I need a truck sometimes. I also have a 2017 Toyota Camry with over 63,000 miles, which I also bought new. Toyota is very reliable. Dealers have told me they have seen the '98 Tacoma with over 500,000 miles on them.

Bought mine new in Nov. 97. Drove it all over the San Juan mountains in and around Durango, CO. Mine has the locking rear differential and saved me more than once. I always carry chains. 241,000 miles later and it’s in perfect condition. I changed the oil and filter and greased the drive shaft every 4,000 miles. I just put new Michelin Defender tires. Runs as smooth as can be! I love the 5 speed manual transmission with shift on the fly. It’s really built well. I’ve done the front brakes 2x and the rear brakes 1x. I just had the front end rebuilt and the clutch as well. Doesn’t leak or use any oil. I’ll never get rid of my truck!!

I still drive my 1998 Tacoma. It’s 2024. I love the truck and even more I love laughing at today’s prices of new trucks
