Long Term Ownership / Tundra

How long have you owned your particular Tundra truck?

Post year, model, engine, mileage and experience over the years with a picture if you like.

My Long Term Tundra is this 2002 4WD RCLB SR5 4.7L that I purchased in 2003... 17 years.



This is my work truck, and I have always had a second non-work vehicle to drive... it rolled past 170,000 miles last week. A bearing started going out in the differential about 9 years ago, and the radiator cracked about 2 years ago. Other than those issues, all it has required is factory recommended maintenance.

 

Husband's had his 2003 for 15 years, up to over 300k miles now and never any major issues aside from the general maintenance. I've only had my 2018 for a month and am at 11k miles.. got some catching up to do

 

300k impressive!

Bought it new and she sits currently at 170,000, as well. Never had to do much over the years other than regular maintenance and some rear axle seals until about 2 years ago when I reinvested back into her and had a shop rebuild the front end. Also, had a rear wheel bearing go bad about 6 years ago and finally had it replaced.

Never thought I’d have her this long, but she keeps holding nicely. Quiet and smooth driving. I’ve done a bunch of other work too long to list thanks to this Forum and the kind 1st Gen Members help. You can see it on my build page.

18 years is a long time to own any vehicle, and I love that you put money into it to keep it going.
