2004 Tundra.

Bought it in 2006 with 80k miles, used it mostly as an HVAC service truck, hard mileage in Baton Rouge. Sold it to my uncle in 2010 with 140k. He flipped it less than a year later.

I would still be driving the SOB if I was smart, but I sold it and bought a Lexus for the "gas mileage".

I have no doubt I could have gotten 300,000 miles on that truck before the transmission or engine needed work.

ETA: I replaced the timing belt at 120k. Friend of mine was a Toyota mechanic at the time, so parts couldn't have cost me a few hundred. Paid him in beer. I always changed the oil myself, never replaced anything else mechanical.

Transfer case, ignition coil and the AC Compressor recently came apart inside 22 years of use. Prompted me to replace it along with the AC drier canister to make sure I got all the metal out.

It's a beater truck I inherited from my grandfather after he passed away in 2015. All those issues came/ popped after 22 years of hard farm and ranch use so I can't complain.

Transfer case was about $600 and the replacement of the AC was about $150 after I replaced the parts, cleaned the lines and recharged it.

A microburst launched a neighbor's tree branch into the side of my right bed panel a few years back and dented it pretty bad. I think I spent around $500 to replace.
