How long do they last?

Guys I had a 2008 limited crewmax, I sold it at 180,000 figuring I was nearing major repairs. I bought a 2012 crewmax with 44,000. It ran and drove just like the one with 180,000. It now has just 258,000. I run mobil1 with fleetguard oil filters with 10,000 mile oil change intervals. I drive 182 miles a day( all highway). I do oil samples and there is nothing in my oil. No metals, no fuel,no carbon, no antifreeze. I'm shooting for 400,000 .

 

I hope you make it. There are a bunch that have high miles. Run it til it dies or the body falls off

 

I’m at 292000 miles and still strong.

 

Welcome from Ohio.

 

Heck...shoot for 500K. Welcome from CO.

 

Forgot to say welcome!!

1. I do 5k oil changes, came from a Tocoma with 162k got 11k for the trade. Always 5k oil changes Mobil 1 . Only things I replace was 1 idler wheel and 1 hub bearing. 160k on orig rear drum brakes. My new tundra has a lot to live up to.

 

This is a good thread. How many high mileage 3rd gen’s with the 5.7L are out there?

I’ll be running 7,500 mile oil change intervals and fully expect to get 300K+.

Had 300,000 miles on my last Toyota pickup.

 

Here’s the tear down. It is the 4.7 engine, I can’t imagine the 5.7 won’t be as reliable.

I just bought an 08’ CrewMax with 193,000. I believe with proper service it will out last me at the rate I drive.

 

If I can get 550k out of a 3/4 ton Chevy then you should be able to do the same with proper maintenance. Don't skimp on your oil and filters. I also use top tier fuel (Shell, Chevron, Exxon, etc.) and i like to run a can of SeaFoam in my tank at every oil change. Also, jackrabbit starts and stops are murder on your engine.

 

I live in Minnesota I took my 2008 tundra in at 125000 for plugs coolant belt you know anyway I was talking to the main guy and he told me a week before they had an 07 come in with the same drive train as my 08 and just turned a million miles that’s right a million miles you should have seen this guy he was like a little kid telling me that anyway I’m at 158000 right now and have no plans on trading it in I love my truck change oil every5000 with 0-20 mobile 1 and Toyota filters

 

When does the oil change light come on in our Tundras, I thought it was every 5k miles?

 

Welcome. Don't jinx it.

 

Welcome from CO.

 

Mine is 5,000 for the Maint required light.

 

285,000 on my '07... running stronger than ever - it's a keeper.

 

Found this thread from a Google search. Really enjoying the replies.

I'm looking at a 2011 with the V8 4.6. 163k miles.

What do you all think?
