High mileage, salvage title, still going.
I bought this Tacoma in 2004, with 24,000 miles on it. It now has 381,680. It has been totaled, and rebuilt, and it has had very little service other than routine. Had to replace the climate control panel as it no longer adjusted temps well. On my third battery, including the original. I think I'm on the fourth windshield. Did replace the radiator, I am bad at remembering to get it flushed regularly and I sometimes pull a small travel trailer. No problem with the automatic transmission. No problem with the AC. I am getting some wear spots in the upholstery, drivers side only. No, this is not a 4 wheel drive. My friends say it drives like a truck. I wouldn't know, I have driven small pickups since 1982. Started with a Chevy LUV, this is my third Toyota. I have an extended cab model with a canopy on the bed, and I regularly carry kayaks on it. Don't know what I am going to do when this one wears out. The newer ones are much larger and I am not interested in them. Nor do I need a company cab. I will keep this going as long as I can.
However, with the airbags, I am supposed to keep the wheel as low as possible, so I cannot see part of the speedometer, and I can't see the Hi-low beam indicator. A few other switches I'm not happy with.
