That is absolutely crazy. I thought hitting a 100,000 miles on my 08 prius in 4yrs, almost 2 wks to the date I purchased it, was crazy. Good for you. I hope u hit 1 million w/ that thing.

The million dollar question for me is:

Have you ever replaced the 'lifetime' fuel filter?
Blanco,
In reply to the million dollar question, yes I have replaced the lifetime filter "twice" at 277,565 miles and 532,000 miles.

Can't say this is true with all makes and models.., our Crowne Vics average 35-40K a year, and believe me, even the cab companies don't want them after our four year rotation. Then again, like many, I paid a little extra for the same vehicle as Bob, back in 2001, knowing you get what you pay for.., where are all those S-10 Blazers now.., lol.

Congrats. Thst is amazing amd inspiring to guy like me who just bought a 98 with 317k....no dealer records according to Toyota though. I do have maintenance records from the original owner however.

I really went out on a limb and went for it. If I get another 30k out of it will be amazed and absolutely completely satisfied.

That is absolutely amazing! I just did all the routine maintenance/preventative work and hope to keep mine running just as long!

Total cost?

The truck is amazing.
I question the maintenance costs unless you are getting dealer service at a reduced rate.
650, 000 miles with oil changes every 5000 miles is 130 oil changes. At just $35 each including taxes and waste disposal fees etc, that is $4550 alone.
If coolant was flushed every 60K like you said that would be 10-11 of those, that is another ? $700. what was the frequency of the transmission service? assuming you serviced the transmission every 100K, you are looking at 6 transmission services, so at least another $400.
You have done at least two timing belts, and I assume you use the brakes, probably been through a couple sets of rotors, you stated alternator done twice, and I assume you are not on original battery, hoses and belts/plugs etc

Granted your costs were provided a year ago, and mileage factors are based on 2013 odometer. That said, the cost to run your truck would only have increased by about $7.32 or so, something like that

----Are you sure the total cost you provided are accurate?

Well, rethinking the oil change costs. You being in Texas and all, is oil much cheaper there?

Wow, this is impressive.

I just bought a 2010 LTD with less then 25k miles on it.

If I get half of the mileage you get I'll be super happy and probably dead by then...

Stunning.
I would love to see the interior - especially the seats.
I wonder how much of this is 4WD?
