My 17 has 201000 ,besides brakes, headlight bulbs, my routine maintenance. Zero issues. Still getting 25 mpg average . Tons of miles off-road , in the woods. Running trapline, hauling firewood. Love the truck.
I liked your true, real world review. I have the same color truck in 4x4 TRD OR trim. Real happy to see you using your truck fully, and enjoying it. Thanks for the vid.
My 97 has 341k. It i's currently in a 'trusted' Toyota shop for a new clutch to replace original clutch parts, a leaky steering rack and some front end parts that are definitely aged. Made a long AF cross country trip from Chicago to top of lower Michigan all the way to key west Florida and up the east coast to Quebec city, to fort Kent Maine all on the back highways. and then back to the western Midwest with a leaky rack
@@Nick_ADV it could probably go quite a bit further, since its not slipping at all yet, just the bearing chatter has become louder and more constant! its mostly a highway truck so the clutch pedal is not used much for long periods
Like that color man. Mine is a Grey 2016 SR5 4WD access cab with 47k on the odo. 1 previous owner and dealer serviced. I feel I was fortunate finding it. Checked every box. I live in Iowa so I had to get the chassis sprayed/undercoated as the salt etc here during winter is gnarly
@@Nick_ADV 👊 🤙 can you recall if you mentioned whether or not you change your transmission fluid at a particular interval? Considering changing mine at 50k as well as the diffs and transfer case what are your thoughts on that?
@@AR47X420 yup i believe I did the differentials at 40k because I was going on a cross country trip the following week and wanted to make sure they were good. Transmission fluid I did at 50k. All pretty straightforward to do. I think i watched a UA-cam video on it first and its easy with the right tools.
Man you got the exact Tacoma I want, quicksand with the access cab. I want a 4 wheel drive one and put 33s on it and a slight lift. Worried about only getting 15mpg though. Might just get a GR86 or a Corolla. Gas isn’t going back down.
Yeah man its an amazing truck but you are right about the gas. In the colder months i get around 15mpg. Now in the summer I get about 18mpg. And thats on 265/75/16 tires.
Yeah I have a 2021 sr5 4x4 in the dark grey crew cab I’m at 25k miles it does drink gas a lil bit but in my opinion it is because you sort of end up lead footing in city driving because of the transmission everyone knows this thing searches gears and if you go long distances you will get better gas mileage because you are going a constant speed I plan on tuning mine with the overland tune eventually but I love mine man it is worth it to me go test drive one and see if it is for you reason I got mine is because I wanted to get one before they swap over and lose the reliability the new one looks good but the engine change will take years to iron out and the new tundra is ugly to me
Do you think a 2017 trd sport 4x4 taco with 33k miles for 33 thousand a good deal? I’m trying to buy my first truck and done want something that won’t be reliable
@@brandonbarnwell7992 with the prices nowadays i think that might be a good price. I heard a guy pay 30 for a 2018 with 95k on it. But yeah I think that thing will be super reliable. I just hit 90k on mine 0 issues

Love to hear it! Couldn’t be happier with this thing
What model and size tires you run
@@415Jack Sport 265 /70/17
Which engine do you have?

@@nickrodriguez6013 thanks man! Such great trucks
Love the setup, and the way it sits. Perfect height for me. Very reliable Thanks for sharing!
Im just now buying a used 2017 SR I4 5speed transmission. Has 110k miles and Ive never been more excited for a car
@@lucas.ludlow hell yeah man! Thats going to be so fun to drive. Its hard to find them in stick.

Holy shit 341k out of the original clutch. I could only hope for mine to last that long

Nice. Finally to hear from someone not to far from me. 😊
Hell yeah man, gotta love the Taliban Tan
Haha someone called it that when I was getting an alignment done and it still kills me when I hear that
Sharp truck brother !
Thank you!
It’s a damn good truck as long as you get a tune if its an automatic
Tengo una 2017 muy buena , me encanta me gusta el color de tu Tacoma 👌🏻
Gracias!

@@AR47X420 thats awesome man thats really low mileage for a 16. Great find.

Back down to what? 99 cents?
any major issues since your ownership?
Nothing major. Just had a few coil packs that looked bad when I changed the plugs last week so replaced them. No issues tho
Are coil packs for this more than 100$ each? They are for my rig, which still on the factory coils

How do you pass inspection with the dark tint?
My state doesn’t have inspections on cars or bikes thankfully
@@Nick_ADV nice
Where did you get that window decal?
I googled “toyotas of war sticker” and it popped up. I think it was on a site RedBubble as “Toyota Technical Classic”
@@Nick_ADV thanks dude
beautiful truck man. i drive a 2023 TRD sport manual transmission. did you ever get your truck tuned?
@@bluecollar-outlaw thanks man! I haven’t gotten this thing tuned. Did you get yours done?
@@Nick_ADV I haven't gotten it done yet myself. I am planning on getting it done by the end of this summer.
How can I get that Toyota technical sticker? Did you make yours?
I googled “toyotas of war sticker” i think the site that had them was called Redbubble or something similar
Is that 4x4 or 2wd
4x4
11:45 I see death everyday too
Took me a minute lol
#tacoma heatttttt🔥
Lifetime warranty?? How
The Toyota dealers here offer a lifetime warranty on the powertrain as long as you have records of being up to date on service
How many miles?
Right now I think its at 78k miles
Just broke in. Good video bud. Honest. @@Nick_ADV
When its paid off no need for more payments. Save your money.
75k is just breaking in smh
