I'm looking at upgrading weekend/hunting truck. I'm looking at Toyota Tundra 4x4's online. Since I will only drive on weekends I'm not looking to break the bank. Any Tundra below $25K has 150-200k+ miles on it. I know if well taken care of, toyotas will last forever.

I guess my question is, what is "high mileage for a 2013-2018 Tundra?

Mine is a 2016 with 130k on it and I’m driving it until my 4 yr old gets a license then it will be his.

Well said!

Suffice to say you would not shy away from a 2013 with 155K miles as a weekend driver?

This is my daily driver. Not a single issue since bought new. I'm sure it can go another 50k at least.

I have a good friend with a 2012. He bought it with 150k. His mechanic gave it one look and said "should be good to 250k with no major work".

Making me rethink my 06 f150.

I've had mine for a year and a half now, and just crossed 4K miles.

I drive one with 310k miles, but it doesn’t go over 55 mph and the transmission sounds like a pepper grinder. I am hoping to get a few more years.

2010 193000 miles. Still drives good. Only thing I had to do was the workaround on the secondary air injection system.

I have a 2012 Sequoia that I bought new. It has 150-160k miles on it.

My son has it now and I have no issues with him driving it anywhere.
The only issue I’ve had with it is the amplifier for the stereo went out on it and I replaced it.

I replaced it with a ‘22 Tundra platinum.

Get under and check the rear main for signs of a leak. So long as you’re dry I wouldn’t expect anything in the way of significant issues until you get around 300k.

With that said, kudos on dropping $25k right now on a weekend truck, lol.

My wife’s uncle has a 2004-2006 range Tundra, I can’t remember the year. Anyways that truck has over 450k. He absolutely swears he’s going to do his best to take it to a million. No kidding. He’s a retired veterinarian so he also has a 2022 Tundra he picks up groceries in. I’ll mean he could own any truck on the market and that’s what he chose. I’m rooting for him at this point.

I have a 2005 (1st generation) Tundra Double Cab 2WD -202K miles, never had a engine or drivetrain issue, and I would not hesitate to drive it across country tomorrow. I’ve given no thought to replacing it. I do maintain it though. For many years it was a every day vehicle, but now I use it mostly as a weekend/hunting truck.

1st Generation Tundras seem to have a cult following based on a 1st Generation Tundra website I follow, and those in good, well maintained condition appear to sell well above NADA value. If this is to be a weekend/hunting truck, give some consideration to an older, high mileage, well maintained 1st Gen Tundra you might be able buy for $8-10K, and reserve a few thousand $ for needed upgrades/repairs.

Friend has a 2007 with well over 270k miles.

He thinks he can get 4 more years until he retires and gets his retirement truck

‘21 with 20k miles. I look forward to still driving it at 250K when everyone’s electric car is breaking. So happy I got the V8 before they shut them down.

I would say anything over 200k miles. I have a 2003 Tundra with 180k miles, besides oil changes, I did a tune-up around 100k miles. My valve cover weeps a bit and besides the battery and starter, the truck is OEM.
