Who has the most miles so far on a 5th Gen?

That's awesome! Any issues with KDSS in that time period? Looking at getting a 20 and trying to decide to go with or without it. Love the way it handles, but curious about washboard at speed. Thanks!

Zero issues with KDSS so far. Had to replace the sway bar bushings, but that was low cost and just regular maintenance. Haven't driven a runner without KDSS for any length of time, so can't make any comparisons. Washboard roads and dirt roads are still bumpy, but maybe less so? Really been a pretty solid vehicle!
 
Will most likely turn 300k this year

67k on my 2015 Trail with KDSS - changed diffs and transfer case fluids last year and battery this year and do oil changes every 7.5k

So far so good
 
Don’t you tow often as well?
Not really often, but when I do, it's usually well above what the 4runner is rated for and I'm going across the country and over the rockies.
Any issues? Nice to own and drive a vehicle that has stayed virtually unchanged for 10+years. You’ve got your money’s worth.
Power steering pump started acting up around 225k and was replaced
Front right LCA bushing rubber broke at 268k
Alternator failed at 277k miles

Have replaced a couple CV boots (still original axles with 35s, lockers, etc), a couple ball joint boots, universal joints in front and rear drive shafts, plus regular maintenance stuff like brakes, fluids, belt, etc. A few gaskets and O rings.

*Not counting aftermarket/modifications

Oh yea, my driver's seat bottom has about had it. The padding and cloth is worn out and starting to come apart, but I'm not light at 180-210lb

That's pretty good, honestly, as far as issues go. I'm impressed.

I normally put on about 18k a year with commuting and trips/wheeling, but working from home means that just about all my mileage is for leisure now, so about 9k a year. I'm at 29k on my 2019.


EDIT: Almost moved to Fruita last year, but ended up in Fort Collins. Fruita is a great place.
 
330K miles on a 2014 SR5 purchased new in September 2014. Should have 331.5K by this weekend.

Have a new 2023 Off-road Premium arriving in a matter of week. Keeping the 2014 because it has been the most reliable vehicle we have ever owned and it will stay at our ranch in Montana. Can never have enough of these in off-road country.
