I remember about 8 years ago. My buddy had a 2006 with 591k miles on it. Sold it for 10k 😂. Love these things
damn
Know a farmer down the road named Mike who has an 06 with 400+ on it. He rides it daily
@@codymoreland4496he now has a 3rd gen and is sitting at 360k 😂. Solid trucks, hoping the new ones don’t break the cycle
You have to change the blower motor resistor chip. That's why the ac won't work in lower settings. It's a really easy and cheap fix, I've had two 2nd Gens and that's a common problem.
Orale. you just gave me an idea of what to do on my a/c that only works on higher #4 and does not want to work on lower speeds. 1.2.3
I will check this tomorrow is happening on my 08 and never really attended till I saw your comment.
Thanks! It's on the list of things to do
Yep, this was happening to my 07 when it was handed down to me. I couldn’t afford to take it to a dealership to fix it so I did it myself and that fix is what drove me towards being a mechanic
I’ve just smacked the blower motor, located under the glove compartment, whenever it isn’t working properly. Turns right back on.
Yes, I had a 2006 Tacoma as soon as it hit 200,000 miles the ac only worked on the high speed and looked it up on Tacomaworld and they said the resistor
I own a 2008 SR5 w/ the 2.7L, currently it has 245,000+ miles and still running great. My last truck was a '96 tacoma 4x4 that had 325,000+ miles on it when I wrecked it on some black ice back in 2009. Love these trucks!
Im sorry for your loss
I LOVE how absurdly solid these Yotas are. I've got an '03 V8 with 400,000kms on it and it feels like a brand new vehicle. Almost no rust either since it has lived It's life on Vancouver Island! It's nice to see the same care and attention to quality put into their V6 counterparts. I'm interested to see how their new V6 turbos hold up over the years...
I want to hope for the best but time will tell. Toyota doesn't always get it right nowadays
There are no v6 counterparts all 4 bangers
@@caseyblakeney3149In the new Tacomas, LC Prado, and I'm assuming 4runner...correct. I was referring to the V6 turbos currently on offer from Toyota in other models though (Tundra, Sequoia, GX)
My 2nd gen '12 Tacoma has 180,000 miles. The only repair necessary has been to replace the drive shaft carrier bearing (u-joints replaced at that time, but were still tight). So only tires, battery and the rubber in the carrier bearing. Rust isn't normally a problem in south-central US. Best small 4X4 truck ever.
My experience with Tacomas has been very positive but like anything else it all depends on preventive maintenance. It has been my experience that the Engine and drive train are virtually bulletproof but everything else...bearings, U-joints, front ends components, etc are no different than any other vehicle. That can still add up over time.
430k on my 2001. Still runs great.
Love it
I had a 2001Tacoma 4X4 that had made it to 483,000 miles. It would have easily survived past 500,000 miles if it had not been totaled on the freeway with a really bad collision.
my job has one of these for a fleet vehicle and its at 320,000 miles. every single light is on the dash but she runs solid every day.
320k here as well. 06' offroad w/6 cylinder and its my town truck. fresh oil every 3k miles, does not burn it, automatic trans. my pops passed it down to me on my 18th, im 25 now with a 2 year old and its gonna be his in 16 years. My ol man appreciates how well I maintain it and plan to pass it down another generation
Went with a new taco because all the used tacos in my area were literally on par in terms of price with the new ones. I shouldn’t have sold my 4runner, but I made 10k driving that thing for 5 years and putting 80k on it. This “era” of yotas are just bulletproof, and I absolutely loved it. 160k on my 06 4runner and zero issues.
Didn’t have the V8, but man I miss the immediate low end torque of the 4runner
Greetings from across Lake Erie, 2012 Tacoma V6 165,000 normal 4WD Base Model, 5 speed automatic passes rigid PA truck inspection with new Geolander 10 ply radials, has crossed the entire US 5 times. Everything still works except the driver. Great investment ! My niece bought it used in AZ about 5 years ago. She offered to me and bought a new Tacoma
Just last week, I gave my son my 2003 Tacoma Prerunner with 197,000 miles on it. There are no leaks and nothing is wrong. I don't live near the ocean or snow, so the frame still looks new. I just needed the space for my next project which is a 2003 4Runner with 201,000 miles.
I have a 2015 4Runner, and I'm doing maintenance on my parents 2006 Tacoma. Steering loose just like you described! Thanks!
Just bought a 2010 SR5 V6 with 112,000 miles for work
I have a 92 pickup with a supercharged 3.4. Motor has unknown miles but I'm assuming 200+ based on how rough the motor was, but I abuse it every weekend and it runs like a champ. Never looked back at any other company since.
I have a 2005 Tacoma extra cab 121k and absolutely love it.
I have ‘05 taco, just like yours. 213,000 miles. I love it, burns no oil, frame was done ‘16. Best vehicle I ever had. Beats my new Chevys I had no contest !!!
Same here, 217,000 miles, runs perfect 4.0 l v-6 burns no oil, frame in ‘16. Best vehicle I ever owned, better than my new Chevys also!
I'll never buy a Chevy, I hated just having to drive them at work. What pieces of crap! I'm a Toyota man forever!
I thought those roads looked familiar and then I saw the Grand River Bridge :) Great review of a high mileage Tacoma!
Awesome video, my Canadian friend!
Thanks for watching!
@@CanadianGearhead I also loved the ‘bonus’ content! Good stuff!
I'm doing the timing belt water pump next week on my 4,7.heard it's a beast job.but I believe I can manage
I like the ride-along type of video with the headcam. The flashing AC light may be the clutch relay in the under-hood fuse box. That's a common issue with Toyotas from what I've read. An aftermarket relay may resolve that issue. I have a 2014 Tacoma Access Cab with 31K miles and mine does that occasionally. Turning it off and back on again usually solves the problem for a while. I don't know if the relay can be disassembled and the contacts cleaned with a small file. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the feedback Bill!
I have an 08 TRD Sport with 176k miles. I love the truck but its not without issues. I live in Arizona so luckily rust isn't a big deal here. Instead we have trouble with paint deterioration from the sun. It's probably the most expensive issue with the truck right now. I have also lost my cruise control. I know there are common problems with the switch and the clock spring that cause this but in my case I think it's the actual module under the hood and not easy to fix. I also have problems with my blower motor. Thats a resistor under the glove box. My understanding is that is caused by the gauge of the wires running to it being too small, they get fried and turn black from too much power trying to go through them. Surprised Toyota never recalled that as a fire hazard... My tire pressure sensors are also out. I just finished installing new brake pads and rotors, huge difference! In the middle of upgrading the suspension at the moment and adding a 2" lift, super stoked for that. I'm getting some leakage from the steering rack so expecting that I'll need to get that replaced at some point. Keep and eye on the drive shaft, I ended up having to rebuild mine, the u-joints and carrier bearing were toast and knocking around like crazy. Luckily it didn't damage the transmission or differential seals. I'm hoping that I can put a little bit of TLC into it and keep it on the road for another 175k. Keeping my fingers crossed that things like the AC, ABS breaking system and heater core don't fail, repairs that big might signify that it's time to quit fixing it and buy a new truck.
I own an ‘00 4runner with 345k miles currently, I’ve had it for the past ~52k and the reliability is MIND BOGGLING. Yea it has its squeaks and rattles but it’s had a rough life but it’s only left me needing help twice, both times because the battery terminals were too gunked up with mud and dirt.
That's awesome!
Just went through the same thing with mine. Took a rough road to a fishing spot. Truck suddenly wouldn’t turn on after being off for a few hours. Popped the hood cleaned the battery posts and terminals and then boom back to driving 😂
Still driving my 2000 Tacoma pickup 2.4 liter 4 cyl automatic transmission with 237,000 miles. Body and frame rusty from NYS Road Salt but still runs like a champ, my 4th Toyota truck, also had 3 Toyota cars, been driving them for 40 years since 1983. I drive them until they won't pass NYS Inspection anymore. I'm sure if I lived in a state that doesn't do Inspections some of them would still be running if they hadn't been living in Road Salt a good ⅓ to ½ each year.
My 06 will be hitting 200k roughly a year from now, projected January 2024 Mine was also a former work truck but in pretty good shape. Love these things.
Have u hit 200k this month?
@@uno3863 typo. Amended
@@rossedwardmiller ah ok 👍🏽my '12 currently has almost 120k, I love driving it too, especially since it's a manual 😎🤘🏾
I have 150k miles on my 07 and it didn’t get the frame replaced because it’s lived in Florida it’s whole life. No road salt and I hose it down meticulously whenever we go fishing or camping so nothing builds up.
My 2015 is at 172k and last month I had a lightbulb burn out. Thats my list of complaints.
202000 on my 2009 4wd 6mt. It drives like it's brand new. Granted I preventatively replaced every single consumable maintenance item on it along with all the fluids.
230,000 on my 2019 sr5, purchased it new. It's a keeper
I have an 06 Prerunner with 330K miles. It's an excellent choice.
How is your Tacoma holding up? Looking into buying one with 200k miles
I have a 2007 Tacoma, TRD 4x4, crew cab. 150K miles. Replaced calipers, drums. I love my Truck. First Tacoma, 99 TRD, ext cab., 4x4. 259K miles. Been driving Tacoma's forever. Would never consider anything else. Have never been stranded!! Trust my truck to get me there and back without any doubts. Take car of your Tacoma and it will take care of you. A promise no other brand can make. Got a emergency call at 2am (no B.S.) Got in my truck and drove from Texas to Nebraska. Fear, nor doubts. Never entered my mind. I knew I was in good hands.
Is that a joying audio head unit? That looks exactly like the one I have in my Tacoma. Love mine
They replaced the frame on my 2003 along with sparetire mount, rear springs, E brake cables and the 2008 I replaced the 2003 with has the same new things on it. 222555 miles. Went thru the spare tire psi thing and replaced the tire in the rack where I can get to the valve without removing the tire. Jus sayin'
I just bought an 06 sr5 v6 4x4 with 301,000KM chassis was replaced and pretty much everything else! I got it for 5 grand. In terms of rust it just needs a soft spot fixed on the passenger rocker. I'm shocked at how little rust it has! I'm in newfoundland Canada so I was expecting more. I can't wait to do the fun little upgrades. Took me 2 years to find one that wasn't beat to hell.
It ended up needing a driverside floor pan front to back just behind the seat. Engine bay needed patching and rockers are shot.
@@tyleredwards6489hey that’s not bad man. I’m looking at buying the same exact truck with 145,000 miles for 12 thousand USD. It’s gonna be my first Tacoma but I’m looking forward to it.
RE; the A/C it's the schrader valves. Have them replace the a/c line schrader valves. If you have a cabin air filter in there, it stops the flow JUST enough to disallow the fan. (I have an 05).
I have an '07 Tacoma with 189,000 miles and love it, but I'm debating trading it for a v8 4runner. Man they seem like fun 😊
I have to admit I enjoy driving the V8 4runner much more!
@@CanadianGearhead you've sold me on it! Now to find a good one...
Great channel with information I was looking for (I'm subscribed) as I am looking to buy a 2008 4Runner.
Question: I keep hearing about Automatic Transmission problems (True or False?)
Also, how do you beef up the transmission?
And, what are the best suspension upgrades without causing issues?
Thanks for subscribing! The 4runner transmissions are really strong as long as they aren't neglected or mistreated. No need to worry about beefing it up. Make sure to do a gentle fluid exchange instead of a high pressure flush if you decide to change the fluid.
As for suspension upgrades, this article might be helpful: canadiangearhead.com/lifting-your-toyota-4runner/
@@CanadianGearhead Thank you for replying and I look forward to all future shows! I just read your suggestion above and frankly you and I have similar goals. I am ALL ABOUT PERFORMANCE and CAPABILITY not looks (we may differ there). You see, I used to work at a shop that built Off-Road rigs for MOAB (everything from camping to rock crawling) but they were all Dodge, Ford and Chevy vehicles so Toyota is new to me. In my case, I am not looking to build a rig for rock crawling I am however looking to build an ADVENTURE / OVERLANDER rig capable of moderate off-roading while pulling a small trailer not to exceed 2,500 pounds. Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks again!
Over 200,000 miles on my 2011 Tacoma double cab. I've used and abused her, but I really haven't experienced much difference from the day I first bought her. I do change my oil every 3,000-5,000 miles. Other than that, I've only had to replace batteries, tires, turning signal bulbs, and one blower motor.
My 07 4.0l has 209k miles i bought it with 165k. Just had to do basic oil changes on it since i got it. The reason i bought mine was because i had a co worker with a 05 that had 365k miles on it and he drove that thing to work every day. His had a bad oil leak coming from the pan and the valve covers. Ive been told as long as you keep up with basic fluid changes and do the timing belt when it needs it you should he fine for a long time.
I have 223k on my 2012 prerunner 4cly.
I love it!!!!!!!
The blower for the A/C was my resistor, replaced it for like $20 on Amazon and replaced myself with a UA-cam video! Located under the glove box. Tight quarters if you can have someone small help you lol
My Tacoma has 400.000k miles still love it
How is it holding up?
Just bought a Tacoma a couple weeks ago with a hard hard misfire and a horrible shake from the torque converter clutch lock up issue. I got it with 402,000 miles got the transmission to a manageable spot for now and replaced the plugs and one coil. Still need to do a lot of smaller jobs on the truck. The driver was bragging that at 402K they'd never done anything more than batteries, brakes, oil changes, belts just basic stuff. I'm amazed at how well the truck drives with this sort of mileage and I paid only $200 since it almost certainly needs a transmission and I wasn't sure how bad the engine would be. I have multiple vehicles so I think I'm going to keep this one as an around town vehicle but I'm amazed at how tough this truck is.
I def want one of these
They're great trucks!
I have a 2010 4X4 Sport. At 200K (miles) I needed alternator, tensioner, idler pulleys, belt. Stupid me never greased my drive shaft U-joints so I had to rebuild the drive shaft. CV boots ripped and they were replaced. I've done all the scheduled maintenance including transmission flush every 50K. The clear coat on the hood by the hood scoop is starting to fail despite good car care and frequent waxing. But other than that there has been no unscheduled maintenance or problems. I hope it lasts another 10 years because I don't like any new pickup trucks on the market, not even new Tacomas. Well of course I'm leaving out $100,000 pick up trucks like the Ford Shelby....
My 2006 TRD Sport 4x4 has 330,000 + on it and only thing I've had to do is the cat converter.....cost me $715. I do keep it up and have the oil changed religiously.
I’m actually in the same position now… I need to deal with my cat… was hoping it was only the sensors… I have maybe… 223k miles on it… throwin me the bank 1 code… easy fix?
I had 240 on my FJ same motor and it ran and shifted better then the rental equinox that had 22k on it the rental place gave me.truck still had power and shifted smooth as new a d underneath was mint for an 07.came from Indiana which was shocking considered in Ohio 1 state over trucks are rusty as hell
I just bought a 2010 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner Crew cab a few days ago. Any way to see if the frame was replaced from the recall??? How can I tell if it's been replaced from the recall? If mine hasn't been replaced I'd like to have that done. It looks rusted in some spots but it may have been painted idk.
Just now trading a dodge 1500 ‘09 for a 2006 SR5 access cab 4wd 2.7. 220k.
The dodge was a constant ongoing problem. Electrical was a big part of it.
You need install fog lights, I am pretty sure your truck are prewired.
You can apply undercoat protection
I gave you your 800 like. I've got 197617 on my 4 cylinder. Been great.
Much appreciated!
I just bought a 07 Tacoma TRD with 255k miles from the original owner for $10.8k. I really hope all the hype is true 😂
Is the frame recall still an option?
Which stereo are you using
i got a white one with 18k miles 2012 regular cab back in 2019 as my first vehicle. It was a work truck and my grandma was kind enough to give it to me upon getting my drivers license. it was already paid for and I got it for free so what more can i ask for? I don't like that it is white.. it reminds me of people who cut grass or plumbers. not that that's a bad thing but you get my point. I want to change it to spruce green and change the headlights. my first mods! anyway, it is a great truck and i got really really lucky.
I own a 07 prerunner access cab V6 with 262k miles on it. Pulls like if it had low miles and kept up with general maintenance
The blower motor issue is a $20 part you can get from any parts store, it's some resistor thing located by the passenger side feet, 5 minute fix.
Yeah I'll be tackling more stuff like that on the Taco soon
Meanwhile my 22 work Frontier has squeaks and rattles in the interior coming from pretty much everywhere with only 6,000 miles. The only thing I like is the engine, miss my 13’ Tacoma V6.
On your interior and easy fix would try and do a spray plasti dip
On my 03 V8 4runner. The ac light flashing & not working was a relay.
That's really good to know, thanks!
I had the AC issue with my tacoma early on and toyota fixed it under warranty.
Hey brotha..do you know the part humber for the upgraded leaf spring
Hmmm not off the top of my head
If you haven’t already done it Check the PCV valve.
How and why?
Bought an 06 SR5 yesterday with 184k on it in st catharines. Just on the qew/403/hwy6 so far but runs sootm just things feel a little stiff. planning to get the peddle commander. Apparently its must have with the laggy throttle response of the tacomas.
Looking to buy a taco too. How much did you pay? I’ve noticed prices have 🚀.
@@melgonza1012Prices are sky high on Toyota trucks because of their reliability and reputation for going multiple 100,000's of miles. My 85 had 4 owners after I traded it, had 460,000+ miles on it when the owner snapped the frame hauling a full load of firewood out of the woods. NYS Salt had ate up the frame, but it was still running good. Not bad for a 4 cyl engine and manual transmission!😅
i have a 06 tacoma aswell and im experiencing the same sloppy steering wheel, do you know the part number of the new steering shaft?
Sorry I don't know it off hand
What kind of deck/infotainment system is installed?
It's from Idoing, I did a video on it
Ready to sign on a 2013 2.7 auto regular cab 4x4. 68k miles so I'm hoping it last a very long time.
Solid truck. I drive a 2013 trdsports. So far so good
@@brakotekventuresltd7420 I found another one with 28k miles. Having it shipped. Pretty excited.
Slow as hell but will run forever
2007 V6 4.0L reliable?
What do you think about this camera angle? Should I make more POV driving vids with other vehicles? Let me know in the comments:
Yes I would love to see it!
Hello,
What rims and tires are on this Tacoma.
Thanks
They're Envy ET-2 wheels on Motomaster X-trails
Is there any way to check if my Tacoma has had the recalls done?
Good question, maybe the local dealership could run your VIN and see it in their system?
For an 06, it looks like ur doing pretty good! The 08s and 10s are pretty indestructable. They got it a little wrong with the 09 for whatever reason tho
How’s the 2007 Models idont hear Taco Owners talk about em much
Glad I got a Tacoma for reliability.
Good luck because my 06 just had a massive oil leak which= about 7 grand for a new rebuilt engine. I couldn't afford it or the risk that another major repair was coming up so I had to scrap it. It only had 249,000 miles so yours should be coming up soon as well. I don't believe that rumour that toyotas last forever anymore.
Massive oil leak? From where?
what is the media player on the dash?
It's from Idoing
i bought a used 2011 trd 4wd tacoma and i have had nothing but problems with it since i bought it 4 months ago. two timing chains broke, a missing actuator, and a fuel pump go out on me. trying to decide if it’s just a bad nut and trade it in for a different tacoma
I bought a 2018 SR5 4x4 with 29k on it. Got 75k now just replaced torque converter and cat. Luckily I had extended warranty, would have been around 5 grand if not. Anything else happens and I’m cutting my loses. I’ve had 7 Tacomas and never had an issue til now.
hey, i have a 2006 tacoma regular cab, i missed my frame recall date, i went to do dealership they turned me down, how did you get it done ?
Mine was done years ago, the campaign is over now unfortunately
@@CanadianGearhead my 2008 double cab has frame done before I bought it ...the frame bolts to the bed are all off I had to take one off so I could push the bed to one side as one of the tires sticks out more than the other ...it looks like who ever changed out the frame must of got it from Mexico and they put the holes for the bolts a little off where they should be ..frame made in Mexico terrible
How did you manage to reach 20,005 miles?
sounds like some maintenance was never done.. cabin filter replacement... transfer case oil never replaced.. etc
The transfer case oil has nothing to do with it, it's an electronic issue
What would cause a vehicle to break down?
I asked the dealer on my Toyota and he said if the bed brakes they will replace for it for free
I found a tundra 2007 with 330,000 miles on it I was going to buy the other day truck was mint 4 door but I was too late I never let high miles on a Toyota scare me
fuckin BEAST!
One of my work delivery truck is a 2002 tundra, 200 or so, runs like a dream, ac sounds insane but I don't use it anyways lol
Does toyota still offering frame replacement?
I believe the campaign is over
My friend's 09 4WD is doing the same thing. It's very intermittent when it comes to engaging to 4x4 and when it does, it doesn't wanna disengage unless you turn the knob to 2WD and turn the engine off then back on. It has about 110k miles. Any thoughts? 🙃
I'm hoping to get a chance to dig into this one before the snow flies this winter!
Mine I have to turn the truck off, turn key half on, then engage 4x4, then start truck. Otherwise it won’t engage
They have the same drum like e-brake in the rear rotors? Garbage in the salt belt.
No they have actual drum brakes in the rear lol
@160,000 miles change your lower control arms, struts and shocks, tire rods out, sway bar bushings cheap and easy. Change with OEM save up for and work extra hours to buy them. Base model Tacomas have very bad front suspensions ball joint failures happens all the time.
Wheels fall off easy due to ball joints PLEASE change @ 150,000 before the issues start.
They rust underneath very easy always pressure wash underneath especially if you live up north. Seen countless of frames breaking between bed and cab.
Truck is dependable always cranks up! Take care of her by changing minor parts and she will last you at least 400,000 plus miles. You will get tired of this truck because it’s so dependable you will want to keep it but get an upgrade.
Oh replace wheel bearing hubs
330,000? Just broken in lol got 486,000 on my 06 4Runner V8
How can I get this recall?
It's over, unfortunately
mines got 380k still on the original clutch. 6sp manual 08 4 cylinder
That’s funny. Me too, 2005 V6 with 250k. Crazy to hear someone else has the original clutch
@@redryder210 They just run forever, its pretty ready to get replaced.
I just bought a 2007 with 222,000 miles on it. 2.7 Prerunner with a 5 speed. I changed a few things like a front wheel bearing, front rotors, front sway bar links. It sure has a lot of power for a 4 cylinder. It can roll 80 mph all day, like it's nothing. Very impressed so far.
These 2.7 Tacomas are indestructible. Expect it to last a long time.
The only thing i don’t like about these is the styling. 1st gen and 3rd look good. These don’t look bad, but they just look like a weird mix of modern and old styling. Slightly off. Good trucks though.
Lol 200k mile my brother in-law's father kept his untill 300+k miles on it also rust is really only a problem for people outside california and below rust belt
S
200k mileage for 13k it’s a good deal?
My '07 v6 4.0l auto shifts butter smooth and smooth power. My '22 tacoma v6 3.5l ENDLESSLY hunts for gears, and gets much lwoer gas milage. I kinda hate it.
Take it in and get the transmission software updated
@@ricktharp1 yeah, I'm gonna have to
More reliable than any new American truck
Except Toyota randomly decided to put new frames on some and denied others. They still have warehouses full of frames. Hit or miss on having that done from what I’ve heard. So you’re lucky if you got a replacement frame installed in your truck.
200k miles on a Toyota isn’t a big deal. If you were in a Ford, Chevy, Dodge, or any other truck than that would be a milestone!!
Not all frames rusted, only those supplied by the Dana Corp.from the us.The japanese frames were better
@@stefanovichmichael9686 yes I know, they still didn’t replace them all. Some replaced well over the warranty timeframe, some within the timeframe were denied. Depends on the dealer. Some are still being replaced today as Dana paid Toyota millions to do so.
