    I'm looking at a 2003 Tundra Access Cab. It looks like a great truck. Problem is that it has 321,000 miles on it. Any idea how long these last? Ive owned multiple Toyotas but not one with this many miles. It will not be my main vehicle.

    I've got 340K on my v6. Still strong for what it is. :curls:

    320K is just getting broken in for the long haul to a million.

    Biggest things on these trucks is frame rust. Take a peek underneath with a flashlight. Look inside the frame near the front if the truck.

    Take pictures and post them here if you can.

    Also ask when the timing belt/water pump was last changed. Supposed to be every 90k. If you have a shop change it you're looking at about another $1,000 or so depending on your area.

    If it has good service history and in good condition for a price you’re willing to pay I’d snag it. Worst case you can sell it for at least what you buy it for in a couple years.

    It’ll last so long as the front end suspension work has been done (typical worn items) along with regular fluid changes.
