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!!

My 1998 Toyota Prerunner has 420,000 miles and still starts like it was new. I've driven it all except the 4 years my son took it to college. I'm glad he wanted a newer car and i got it back. I'll Update when it turns a million miles.

My mom bought this truck brand new in 1998. She gave it to me my freshman yr of high school which was 2000. I have put 90,000 miles since i got it, and now it has 150,000 and the engine has never been touched. I have added lift and performance parts and accessories and it looks sharp. I tow my boat and cattle trailers with ease. I recommend this pick up to everyone.

This truck is a great truck! It handles great, for a truck and the reliability is awesome. Absolutely no problems other than brakes and regular maintanance. The V6 is very strong. Not geared like a car but has plenty of power. I think it tows a full 5000 lbs. I've overloaded the truck and it still pulls strong.

I think this truck is fun to drive, all though a little small on the inside, but it's fun to take on the highway, and smoke all the kids with there beaters, and civics.....in my opinion the truck is fast, out of the slow car category (weighing 3360)
