I just traded my 96' Tacoma w/ 283k miles in on a 05' 4runner sport v8 w/ 108k miles. This 4runner runs smooth and quiet. The Tbelt has already been changed. No reason it won't hold out well over 200k. In fact I'll not be happy if it doesn't. I've heard the V8 is a very very smooth and reliable engine. Not to mention it's used in a half dozen other Toyotas. You can't go wrong w/ Toyota. Yes, you'll have small things here and there that need attention, but nothing like the Exploder or a GM product. My dad's 04' GMC z71 was a highway vehicle and absolutly fell apart at 100k miles. He spent over 5k in a year on major repairs. I'll be sticking with Toyota. Hope that helps with you decision.
