I've had my gen 1 Tacoma for 23 years now and it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I love the styling and it has had very few issues over the years. All it needs is a new paint job.
Mines a 2000 TRD w/239,000 MILES on it. still runs fine after, 1 timing belt, 1 clutch assembly, 2 brake jobs, 2 injectors and 6 spark plugs, (it's a V6 4 w/drive 5 speed manual) 1 window motor, 2 door handles, 1 rear axle bearing, 1 set of Struts and shocks for the front, 1 windshield glass. replaced. 1 fan motor, fluids on scheduled times. Needs some more TLC soon. Another timing belt, axel boots, radio maybe... that's the total maintenance so far, tires too. I'm 70 now but I'm keeping it. Should last at least another 200,000, probably outlast me... I love my little brown TRD... LOL Don't care for the new ones at all... I did some of the work myself, but not anymore... Love them all though... It's been a good sweetheart of a truck... Not selling it just bragging... It's worth buying an good old one if you can find one... They are some still out there...🤠
got mine with 171k miles. small small oil leak it’s the rubber gaskets. nothing crazy. guy never changed transmission fluid kinda buggin me not sure if that’s a huge problem
I just picked up one of those. It's a 2001 double cab with 236k but I live the rust belt so I gotta do some frame work but runs and drives great though
I bought a 2001 xtra cab V6 4x4 with 260k miles last summer and it’s been such an awesome truck. It needed a few minor things, like a new rear bumper and it had a weird turn signal issue that I addressed. After market parts on eBay are so affordable and it’s become an enjoyable project truck, as I do love turning wrenches. I’ve been driving it almost everyday and it’s been running great. Lucky for me, the guy that owned before me took pretty good care of it.
I love my 2004 Tacoma Double cab 4x4 w/ automatic transmission. Everything is stock. No power package so manual windows and locks (...less to break 🙂)...I just wish it had cruise control. It has 207k miles on it now. The frame was changed out during the toyo recall. I intend to drive this thing until 300k or the wheels fall off. My only regret is that it doesn't have cruise control. I will never buy another vehicle w/o cruise. Other than that I love the look, the ride is fine (for a truck), the size and especially the reliability and dependability. ROCK ON!
@@petegarcia6168 I wonder how easy of an install that would be. It could just be you plug in a switch and mount the little lever or it could be a pain and you have to wire a bunch of stuff in, I’m not sure
Love the truck and the plug for Scotty. He is the man about machines! One correction. 2001-2004 had fame rust issues due to a manufacturing problem. Toyota did have a recall and replaced frames on all three of these years. I have a 2000 with 324K on the clock 4 banger and no guts, but the most reliable truck I have ever owned. The 4 banger 2.7 DOES have a timing chain, which is a plus.
I have the exact same one except 2001. 155k miles. I paid a good bit for it but man I don’t regret a thing. She’s bare bones and a rough drive but you can’t go wrong with old tacomas. The reputation speaks for itself.

2004 2rz with 220k and plenty of mods, drives anywhere from 500-1000 miles a week without issue and I can say undoubtedly it’s the most reliable vehicle I’ve ever had.
I recently got a 2002 crew cab V6 3.9 litre 4x2 Tacoma TRD with 2020 TRD Tacoma Rims, it's got about 277k miles, a miraculously has very little rust on the frame(since they're prone to rust on the older models, causing hundreds of recalls), and the engine still runs like a beast

If anyone still looks at this 🤔 I have a 2002 and I LOVE it but now I live by the ocean and get a steady salty air which creates rust! I am concerned for my frame. I put on an undercoat but I am thinking I need to consider it may not last now. It has 215k miles and I rarely drive it so it is sitting and rusting 😮
Scotty has solid advice. I have now a Subaru crosstrek Toyota Tacoma and a Honda civic. However, the issue is I have to go through my tool box and dust everything off once a year. When we owned GM vehicles… OMFG I was constantly fixing 💩 ! Now because I basically enforce a GM ban in my family, I have plenty of time to hike, ride and scuba dive ! 👍🇯🇵
Our neighbor has a truck like that one, but his is a super cab. He has 193K miles on his. He’s looking around now for a 20-23 Tacoma 4WD with a manual transmission

My 2002 prerunner crew cab V6 Auto has 209K and Ive owned it for 13 years. Normal maintenance, oil, tires brakes shocks and exhaust. I would not be afraid to go gas up and drive it across country. Bulletproof.

@@rodm2345 If the truck is not rusty I say go for it! I've thought of selling mine but then I see how many people keep them forever I decided to go for it. Nothing will last forever, but as long as normal maintenance has been done you should be good for another 100K. My neighbors 04 went to 461K before the second frame rotted. The 3.4 v6 and auto were still original and ran well.
I wouldn't hesitate to own a Toyota with a million miles. In fact, high mileage Toyotas are sometimes worth more especially with more than 1 million miles because that shows they've been well cared for.
Thinking on trading in my 18' F150 XLT FX4 90k miles with Raptor lift and Wheels/Tires and side panels with few more extras for one of this with 150 K miles.... Ill get like 10-15k cash back. Anyone think thats a good idea? My F150 has no issues what so ever except cosmetic scratches as I used it for camping on the mountains. (other extras on the F150 is DIY power on the back for running air compressor, as well as tool drawer system.)
Yup, bad ass trucks those 1st gen Tacoma's. Mines at 389K About to learn some welding and try to save her ! It bums me out how much $$$ it would be to find another. I didn't catch how much you paid. Sea ya

2001 Taco TRD SR5 xtra cab Stepside. My dad bought it in 2019. in 2023 He wanted a Subaru Outback, so he took his 07 Solara in and pictures of the truck from all angles. They gave him 1200 on the Solara and said 1000 max on the Taco. I said I would pay him more than that for it. He gave them the Solara and drove his 2017 Suebee home. When We got home he asked what I thought about 1000 for that truck. I said I thought he was ripping himself off, he said K what about 1500 I said I better shut up and take it before I can't afford it. This is the 11 toyota truck I have owned, from 78 thru the 80s and now this one. I can take a 22R apart and put it back together in my sleep (and I think I did once LOL). This is the tightest most comfortable truck I have owned.
Watched this vid 2 months ago and been waiting for a high milage tacoma finally found an 03 prerunner sr5 with 250k miles on the dash and have done new head gasket, coils, spark, fuel injectors, radiator, timing chain, and new ball joints. If youre mechanicaly incline and have space and tools you can make these things go FOREVER
We need an older Tacoma with a V6 and a manual transmission 4WD to attach a snow plow to so we can plow our private road and driveway. Our tractor doesn’t have a heater in it and frankly I get cold when plowing our 5-7 feet of snow every winter. I really Don’t want to attach a plow to our 23 Tacoma TRD, as this one is my long awaited pickup that I plane on driving until I die.
Do you think it’s safe to buy a 2004 Tacoma with 219K miles.. with no CARFAX maintenance history? It looks very clean as far as body/interior.. but I don’t like the lack of maintenance history. It’s listed over $16K. Hard decision!
Thats a high price. Where do you live, California? In my opinion, you cant go wrong with any Tacoma from 1995-2015. And the 4 cylinder remained the same until 2023. So, i would look for one under $10k.
I honestly believe the 1st Gen. Tacomas from 2001-2004 with the 3.4 and 4WD are the best trucks ever made. All you need to do is look at the current resale value and see that many others feel the same way. Right now you can get a 2012 Tacoma for less than a well-kept 2002.
Have a 2011 tacoma 106k payed 20k for it last year runs like its brand new and looks it too. I hope to have it for another 15 years and put another 250k on it before I think about getting into something new.
I personally don’t mind getting a truck with a high mileage as long as it’s properly maintained or if it does need work of whatever sort then the asking price of the vehicle is reasonable. I just can’t stand when folks who have these Tacoma models or older Toyota pickups they sell them with frames that are one cough away from folding in half have the audacity to still ask for $3-5k. I’m good.
The market is better you can get cheap ones. I bought an 03 taco extended with 198k miles for 6k this weekend. It's the sport 2.4L 2x4 just passed smog and registered no problem. I live in Cali too truck's frame looks mint like it just rolled off the lot.
I put over 300K miles on my old one . I put 488K on my 79. I have only 7K miles on my year old 23 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD, with the Premium and Technology pkgs, Crew Cab and a 6’ bed. I drive less than 10K miles per year since I retired. I plan on driving my 23 until I can no longer drive or I’m dead.
one reason they last so long is that they dont make enought hp or torque to hurt them self, much like the 7.3 power strokes in the fords that are known to run for ever

I’m tryyin buy one but they 10k plus for like 200plus miles I’ll wait
The market is better you can get cheap ones. I bought an 03 taco extended with 198k miles for 6k this weekend. It's the sport 2.4L 2x4 just passed smog and registered no problem. I live in Cali too truck's frame looks mint like it just rolled off the lot.
We know you’re the real deal when you shout-out the OG wizard Scotty K 🔥
I put over 300K miles on my old one . I put 488K on my 79.
I have only 7K miles on my year old 23 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD, with the Premium and Technology pkgs, Crew Cab and a 6’ bed.
I drive less than 10K miles per year since I retired. I plan on driving my 23 until I can no longer drive or I’m dead.
Got a 2004 tacoma SR5 3.4V6 extra cab with 191,000. Just getting her broken in.
2004 with 443,012 miles Still going strong
1997 5VZFE with the R150F just hitting 352k miles after 27 years of livin' the Gen1 tacoDream 8^}
one reason they last so long is that they dont make enought hp or torque to hurt them self, much like the 7.3 power strokes in the fords that are known to run for ever
Just bought a 1995 Tacoma today for $2400
rough around the edges? that is a good sounding deal!
Just got one for 5k with 239k miles but runs perfectly fine
Not an 03 They had a white instrument pannel
Love Scotty Kilmer
So sick!!

Car Wizard does the same too lol 😂
I have a Toyota Tacoma 2003 with 68000 on it
200k? Basically brand new
200000? If well taken care of, it's just broken in😎

Used to watch Scotty’s channel but his videos now are nothing but click bait and recycled videos.
Can’t stand his screaming all the time too
Bruh jeeps are terrible cars. Especially now a days. Wranglers are some of the least reliable cars you can buy today.
Absolute junk ! Any Chrysler product is inherently an electrical nightmare.
