Highest mileage on a used truck you would be willing to buy?

Anybody have any experience here buying a used truck with high mileage? I have heard with Toyotas it isn't much of a concern. I am looking at the Tacoma and Nissan Frontier on autotrader. I have seen some with 80,000 to 100,000 miles on them.
I don't need a brand new truck. Just something to get me to work and back and also haul some stuff (mulch, grills, camper, kayaks, flat bottom) every now and then. I also don't want to spend $30k on a small truck, which is why I am looking at used.

Tacomas are fine around 100

80-85k

Would you also factor in the year of the truck? I really don't care the year because I like the look of all of them.

Single owner, high mileage, Tacoma with full service records wouldn't bother me at all. I wouldn't trust the Nissan nearly as much.

I would have to think hard after 100,000.
Better be a good deal.

depends how old the truck is

Use this rule of thumb - 15k per year on average for normal wear & tear. You should be good with a Tacoma 5-7 years old in the 75K - 105K mileage range. With that mileage it will be around $20K

Yes although as long as Tacoma didn’t have rust, age shouldn’t be as big of an issue.
For the Gen 2 Tacoma’s (05-14), take $1k off of its initial purchase price per 10k miles it has on it to find the reasonable purchase price

Tacoma is good as everybody has stated. Nissan Frontier is also very good as long as it is 2011 or later manufactured 4.0 V6. Pre 2011 there were some sort of coolant leaking into the tranny problems that was very expensive to fix.

up to 100k im ok with since most will do 200-250k if well maintained
with toyotas they go 400-500k if well maintained so for toyotas im fine buying one right up to 200k miles
figure the average person puts 10k miles a year on a vehicle so if you plan to keep what you buy for another 10 years then it needs to have room to put another 100k miles on it

Bought a Tahoe with 118K on it. But transmission was rebuilt at 110K. Has 165K now. Only minor brake work, a new battery, and a new encoder motor in the transfer case. Rides great and have had no major issues.

only as far as its resale value goes, otherwise year is less important then how well it was taken care of

Have a 12 frontier with 102 on it, never had an issue.

Yeah Toyota Motors are workhorses if you keep them up
Posted on 5/31/19 at 2:05 pm to Bronson2017
Toyota? Maybe 750k

One thing to pay attention to on a truck is the engine hours, assuming it has this feature.
I've seen fleet trucks come up for sale that had low miles and a good price, but the engine hours were astronomically high due to it sitting and idling all the time. That can he problematic regarding longetivity, but especially for certain engine types.
It's just something to watch out for if you can see the data on the dash.

120k-125k on a Chevy 350 engine.

Get an older truck you can have 300k on it and it's still going strong. Back when they gave a shite about longevity of the vehicle more than making sure you have to repair it ever 50k.
