2003-4 V6 miles

[PolkManiac]

I have a few questions about the V6 engines in the 4th gen models - these assume that all scheduled maintenance is performed.

Obviously I realize that every car in every scenario is going to be different, but I'd like to get your thoughts on:

1 - How many miles do you have on your V6 4Runner, and have you had any problems so far?

2 - Realistically, how many miles should we get out of that V6 engine?

3 - How many miles should we get before we start to see other mechanical problems?

I've got about 85,000 miles on ours and am wondering if I should start thinking about having to pour money into my 4Runner to keep it going.

Did you read this one? It sounds like they hold up pretty well. I was reading on one of the forums there have been 4.0L's with 400k without ever pulling a head. That may have been a 4.0 in a Taco but that's close enough for me to be optimistic

EDIT: Linked fixed, thanks Uneek.
