    New member here. Just thought this was too cool not to post. We got our Tundra 20 years ago and 17 years ago drove my newborn son home in it. Today he turned 17 and got his license and was given the same truck he came home in as his first vehicle. The ole boy has 350,000 miles on it and is still running great!

    My husband used non synthetic oil for the first 150,000 but then switched to synthetic oil as the synthetic oil got better. He said that the big thing was he kept up with all the high mileage maintenance stuff. Other than that the truck has never been in the shop.
