Highest Mileage 4th Gen?
- Thread starter T?@\7
- Start date
It is grossly apparent that he drives very easily based on tire wear.
Noticeably, highway/city driving accounts for 98% of these miles. At least twice a month the 4wd is engaged and driven on gravel roads, but no true/serious off-roading. No significant towing to mention.
Rolled 300k Today
I was looking forward to claiming the first 300k 4th Gen and here I come and find a 400k+! BAH!
Also on our 4th set of tires. Previous sets made it about 50k, 75k, and 160k.
Brake pads changed at 75k, 150k 275kish
Front rotors changed at 150k and are due now, whenever I get some time to take care of them
Rear rotors are still original and need to be changed
One battery change
One replacement climate control console (coke spill)
Replaced O2 sensors at 250k
I use Mobil 1 Synthetic EP and change every 15,000

I found this really old thread about the reliability of the V6's

Read it and weep Consumer Reports!

I agree it depends on your location too. I'm in Northeast.
I bought my car new - it' 81000 miles now. 2005 SR5 V6 - 4x4
Rust in the bottom from cover and rear differential. cleaned and sprayed it with antirust/rubber coating to lengthen the chassis.
Parts replaced:
1. Front caliper(seized) and pads (60K)
2. Rear pads (70K)
3. Sparkplugs (twice - iridium)
4. Engine oil and filter(every 10000 miles or 1 year) (AMSOIL)
5. ATF oil (at 60K around 14 Qts of oil - AMSOIL)
6. Differential oil (40K Miles - AMSOIL)
7. Power Steering fluid - flushed 2 Qts (80K miles) - Dealership Oil
8. Air filter and cabin filter - once a year
9. Brake fluid flushed twice - done last at 81000 miles. (caliper is not seized - Valvoline fluid)
10. occasional greasing of propeller yoke
Still Original:
1. Tires (Michelin) - planning on changing it next year
2. Battery (Panasonic)
3. Engine and Automatic transmission
I know, this is not high mileage but other readers might be interested. :hatsoff:

Bought it in January 12. 100K /////now have 108K and switched to all Synth Fluid and TB/Wb replaced... cool running for awhile I hope.
I SAG like a boss on bumps, X-reas does a good job but its just too soft for me...I am looking for some off-road adventuring so its time to upgrade... for mom with a load of groceries its still fine though.
My old '89 22RE last I saw was 180K and still rockin. (not the owner anymore) needed a new clutch as it was my leaning vehicle but its a little rock! HAHAHAHA
