I knew a guy who had an early 2WD Tacoma basic truck that put about 400k miles on it.

May still have it parked at home.

The original Toyota trucks with the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engines will run for 400K. Even if the frame rusts out they can be sold overseas. I had an 1988. I sold it in 1999 when I bought a new Tacoma. I had two guys that wanted to buy it and send it to Asia and Central America.

I sold the 99 Tacoma back to Toyota in 2012 for KBB full retail times 1.5 = $14.5K for a 13 year old pickup.

I rolled that into the 2012 Tacoma double cab long bed I drive today. It is going into the shop in two days to replace the smog pump for the second time. The first time six years ago Toyota replace it for free. This time I have to pay. This is the first money I have spent on this truck that was not normal wear items.

My wife and son both drive #3 on the list: a Honda CRV.
