Yikes. Yeah I know it's a big deal. Good to know the dealer cost is insane. Will probably get the AC "serviced" by a shop and see what they think. Still blows cold as of today, not as cold as I'd like though.
Just Wonderin', Who has the highest mileage?
- Thread starter Khjphoto
- Start date
May it run forever
I just hit 281,000 on my 2010 Gen 5. Only issue was front wheel bearing at 90k. Just tires, shocks, brakes and synthetic oil...as soon as the Gen 6 arrives I will pass to my college age son.
Even now not a 2nd guess to take on 1000mi road trips or deep into the Calif hills.

You might have the highest mileage 5th gen on this thread?
I wish we had a sticky, or the OP would edit his or her original post so we could have a standing list.
Let us know when you get to 300k so we can celebrate with you.
2005 GX470 with 173,000; alternator failure at maybe 80,000 (no small job with KDSS), air bags at 150,000/14 years old, A/C refrigerant service once (tightened HP line fitting, never an issue since). Changed a couple of o2 sensors after receiving failure codes/unable to smog. Both cats indicated failure at different times; local indy shop performed a chemical wash that restored operation. As you may know, these cats are attached to the exhaust manifolds. Replacement options are OEM ($2000+ a piece if I recall), or a talented welder and a generic cat, plus a bunch of R&R labor. For a while, there was one aftermarket cat/manifold assembly available for just under $1000. I bought one and returned it after the wash was a success. I mention this detail in case anybody else experiences cat failure on any vehicle; try a wash! It was about $150 with zero guarantee, just a Hail Mary that worked. Both have been holding for over five years.
Otherwise, just scheduled maintenance, tires and brakes. "Permanent" ATF changed. Bought new spark plugs with thought of changing them around 100,000; pulled one and it looked like new. Still running original plugs for now. Original shocks seem far better than they should (no indication of leak or failure), but thinking about suspension mods that would eliminate electronic ride control and air bags.

Random update haha. Just did my 115K Mile Routine servicing. With my first "major" issue on hand. Apparently the water pump is leaking. Other than that, just oil, brakes and tires.

Just about to hit 148k miles on our 2014 TE. Picked it up with 1 mile on it new in July of 2014. It’s been a great rig so far. It’s needed a battery, a new stereo, camshaft connector/pigtail (my fault) and replaced the brakes at 130k. Wouldn’t hesitate to take it anywhere. Here it is on Elwood Pass from last week;

Not sure if this is the definitive thread on high mileage 5th gens but what's the highest anyone has seen on this 4.0 without replacement or rebuilds?
My local dealer had a tradesman visit their dealership to do some work and he was driving a 4runner with over one million kms on it (about 620,000 miles), original engine and transmission. The salesperson didn't know what year but said an older one.
There must be some 400,000-500,000 miles 5th gens on here?

Wow, that's 489,000 kms! Is this yours? If so, have you had any issues, what have you done for maintenance to get it there?
Winner....amazing he didn't change his oil every 3,000 miles and it still runs....

Mine is pretty heavily modified, and I abuse it off road a bit, so I have had all kinds of problems and things broken, but very little OEM stuff has failed, or it failed because of my modifications. I am running about 5900lbs curb weight with full armor, bumpers, 35" MTRs, 4.56 gears, etc.
I have had intermediate steering shaft U joint lock up and need replacement (295k), alternator quit at 277k, both parking brake cables failed (180k, 225k). Pretty much everything else is maintenance items or aftermarket stuff. Still on original CV axles, but have been through several boots.

I'm getting close with my '14 SR5 at 291k. Just bought it fairly recently though, PO used it for commuting and it never once left pavement. But it's never needed anything other than rear shocks, and I just had to put in a stereo. But even in stock form on highway tires it's done well offroading.
