I was going through the Highest Mileage thread and it got me wondering just how many of those really high mileage runners are out there right now.
That thread is over 90 pages and spans over 12 years, so as many good things that are in there, it would take forever to actually go through it all.

I know the 4.7 is a proven million mile engine in the Tundra, but I'm curious if anyone is anywhere near that here, with either engine.

If anyone is actually in that 500k or 600k+ range, post up a picture and we'll see who is actually the highest mileage runner on here.

For those 200k+ runners, hit the poll and let's see just how many of those are out there currently.

04 Sport V6 only at 90k now and the frame def needs some attention but I really wanna just drive this thing until the frame splits in half.

Id love to see if anyone has half million miles on them!

I went on copart website and saw a bunch with over 300k. Highest being a 1996 with 402,058!
 
It only let me vote once, so I did my V6 with 300-399k. I could have also added my V8 with 200-299k, but not allowed to do both?
 
Just passed 330000 km/206000 miles.

No rust on the body, yet, though the winters have left the undercarriage ugly.

Replaced the rear liftgate because of no window, washer, wiper or defrost in Dec. Had it cheaply repainted to match but now am seeing some rust bubbling under the paint.
Bilstein lift, new u and lca's and wheels and tires in 2018.
Regular maintenance over the last 12 years of ownership.

Some small things that are bothering me now bothering now like the brake booster noise, passenger side wiper arm that will not consistently wipe clean, a burnt out dash light, sway bar bushings that need replacing every year. Contemplated buying a newer 5th gen and keeping this one for my oldest when he turns 16 but that is still a year and half away.

What to do, what to do.

Car-part.com maybe you can find a matching color hatch if you decide to keep.
 
I do find it annoying that people are posting on that thread thinking their 11-17 year old vehicle has "high miles" at under 200k.

Im trying to find actual high mileage rigs so we know what to expect when we get up there ourselves.

My ODO says 110k miles but carfax says over 300k miles on the vin.

I don’t disagree. That’s why I didn’t even give an option for less than 200k.
With 2021’s pretty much here, the 4th gen’s are all 12-18 years old now. If it’s less than 200k, it’s not high mileage yet.

I know the 200-300 range is going to be pretty popular for both engines. I’m curious to see how many 300k and 400k+ 4th gen runners there are out there.
 
309k on my '03 V6

It would be such a dream come true if I one day joined that group, but I'm probably expecting to get closer to just 350-400k out of this puppy (then I'll rebuild/swap the engine or transmission of course :wink2:)

Yea, I’m at 228k myself. I’ve always said the plan is to see 300k in it. I’ve had it for almost 8 years now, and figure it’ll take another 4-5 years to hit 300. By then it might be time, but who knows, maybe I’ll want to keep it for another 100k if everything’s still good.
 
208,000 on mine now. Sister just took it to the beach with her family (she has two cars and not enough room).
Ran like a top and no issues at all (was only an hour away).

I've been putting 300 miles every weekend on it driving to my dad's house in Michigan this summer but with the whole working from home thing, I'm saving 1k a month so I'm not gaining nearly as fast as I was.

Hoping to hit at least 300k but the itch to upgrade to a 200 series Land Cruiser sometimes comes around. lol
 
'05 V6 2wd 210k

I've replaced most of the suspension and the front wheel bearings. Rambler has been in Kansas her whole life. I just recently checked the frame and nothing bad happening just surface rust.

Nice! I hope it lasts that long, and even longer for you! Nonsense, you'll definitely want to keep it :wink:

By "it might be time", do you mean you probably plan to sell it once it passes 300k?

I don’t know for sure, I’m a few years away from having to think about it too much right now.

As much as Toyota’s keep their value, not sure how much a 20 year old, 300k+ mile 4Runner will be worth here in a few years. Maybe it’ll stick around and be purely a weekend fun rig or maybe I’ll move on entirely.

We’ll see, all I know is it’s not going anywhere anytime in the immediate future.

Oh, yeah, that's understandable. I see your concern for value, not many would just flock for a car at that age with that many miles
 
I have a 2003 Limited V6 with 346,300 miles. Still my daily driver. It has been on several 5,000 + miles vacations.
