    Hi

    I have a really important question. I m looking to plow this year I got almost 20 driveways that I have to plow. So I went on Facebook marketplace to buy a truck and I saw this 2011 Toyota tundra with 150000 miles on the guy had a plow on the truck and only used the truck for his driveway. I took the truck to my mechanic and he said he really took care of the truck and that nothing was really wrong with the truck. My question is should I buy the tundra or should I look for something else?

    I m a little bit scared on the fact that it has 150000 miles and that the guy has plowed with it for about 3 years

    This is a million miles Tundra, why be scared of 150k miles on the odo? 1/2 ton truck at its best.

    Indefinitely. Engine and transmission are bulletproof, built to last. You need to wash the truck underneath though, to get rid of salt. And do rust prevention. But that applies to any truck.
