3rd gen Toyota Tacoma 400k mile review!

[@BradleyJokerst]

400 in 6 yrs is insane.

[@tropicaljupiter]

~182 miles a day. He’s driving for hours a day.

[@K9River]

I bet his butt hates him.

[@bmurphy386]

Yeah to say how insane... I'm 6 years 120k lol and I avg 1500 a month. With two 6k trips a year.

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

3rd gen Tacoma is living up to the Toyota reliability for sure.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

I’ve got a 2TR-FE in mine with rear drive, which has better longevity. Since it’s one of three vehicles I own it will probably last forever. I won’t drive it in salt.

[@anthonys5581]

I have the 2.7L in my 2023 SR. It’s a 4x4 and I use it in the winter though. I take it to Krown to have the underside treated every year. I hope to keep this truck for at least 20 years. It’s wonderful.

[@AlphaKorr]

Lets go half million miles!!!!

[@jimf.625]

This dude must be the hardest working man alive. The Tacoma is taking good care of him.

[@Asyll.]

2:50 Thats funny to know about the fan clutch. Work at a shop and someone brought in a 2018 with about 400k and the fan clutch was also locked up at the same miles. Looks like they are good to 400k exactly lol

[@theinfinitymachine9610]

My 2000 Tacoma is at 147k and 2022 Tacoma is at 19k. Oil change every 5k for me. Looks like I'm keeping it until I kick the bucket.

[@Zeros_Garage]

congrats on 400k!

[@shirolee]

Unbelieveable!!!!!!!!! I'm glad you're still giving us updates and the Tacoma is still running strong! I commented on one of your first videos, but I have the same model, year, trim, and even color! I'm only at 75k miles, but I'm looking forward to keeping my truck forever after seeing your progress with the Tacoma.

[@tpp4007]

Looks like just regular maintenance. Damn, still going strong! Let it make another 400K!

[@japewaltzer]

Please keep doing these updates. These are amazing to watch.

[@austenslost]

I really like the tan with the front bumper and the all terrains. Suits the trucks.

[@ludabam241]

That quicksand is TOUGH!!!!

[@brendanomeally8070]

This makes me happy to see. Just shy of 250k on my 18 tacoma. A good bit of that has been pretty hard miles. Truck has been really solid!

[@jonathanbrainard-yl1kk]

How many issues you had?

[@cdoesmore]

This eases my mind with buying a CPO 2020 with 66k miles on it. Id love to see a continuation of your truck and your time with her.

[@crazypersonlol34]

I'm your biggest fan. I'm at 180 and i just realized i've been slacking on the trans oil changes because my dealership misled me on lifetime. Makes me so mad but hopefully I last as long as yours

[@edwardoperez1663]

3rd gen the best Tacoma ever made.

[@deadbrother5355]

My throw out bearing went out at 40K. Bad luck I guess. Congratulations on the milestone.

[@josefermalino461]

Wow good job of maintaining your taco bro I’m impressed…I own 2022 trd or and I’m inspired to ur story to maintain my taco ❤

[@notsure8900]

I have an 05 Taco v6 4x4 with 97k might be time to upgrade to one of these, glad to see them go this long

[@tambosnipes1652]

Keep the 4.0 it has more torque and is generally a better engine

[@toyotabay442]

3rd gens for the win!

[@teamoildrop]

Letssss goooo brotherrrr

[@otishaag987]

Field test to the point review so I grasp the essentials without getting lost in lengthy ramblings.✅

[@wigum12]

cylinder #2 misfire could be a ignition coil. swap it with another cylinder and see if the code travels.

[@BrooksLorenson]

This gives me high hopes for my 2018. Only at 73k right now but I have vehicle OCD lol thanks for posting!

[@ctrux16]

Incredible to watch these updates

[@RBTMOTORSPORTSLLC]

Impressive. Hope you’re making good money running it that hard 👍🏻

[@Shifty519]

Love to see it still going strong

[@kyleottosen1021]

Been waiting on this! Have checked the channel every few weeks since the last video!

[@dylanjischke1993]

Barely broken in! That is awesome man. I’m losing sleep over this cylinder 2 misfire. Keep us posted with any findings on that. Fix that misfire and send this unit to 1,000,000!

[@endurocox5467]

It’s not worth fixing the head. Just gonna run it until it drops a valve or something & get a junkyard engine.

[@dylanjischke1993]

@@endurocox5467 I hear ya. Wasn’t sure if it was possibly something simple like a bad injector/coilpack. Or I’ve heard a few people have the ACIS Intake flap break off and it can bounce around the intake manifold and block an intake runner causing a cylinder misfire. But with that many miles a burnt up/worn valve makes more since. You’ve got a good plan send her till she blows and swap in a junkyard motor and keep clocking those miles!🤙🏻

[@stratstrangler22]

@@endurocox5467 so did you confirm that it was a head gasket issue or something along those lines?

[@ruinedmx5]

Thanks for doing these. My 18 has ~68,000 and I plan on keeping it till I die

[@dominickbelmont6573]

hell yeah just saw another third gen at like 420k or something from a friend in PA

[@michaelgutierrez6743]

proof?

[@lukelem]

Keep the updates coming brother

[@ironcagedragon]

Wow, that is impressive. I got a 91 22re Pick up with 160,000 miles that I'm still trying to wear out along with my 3rd gen Tacoma and your way beyond in mileage. I didn't believe these 3rd Gens had it in them.

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

I also have a 93 22RE with 307k miles on it. They are very useful!! Mine is low to the ground so loading heavy things in the back is super easy compared to my 3rd gen.

[@shnerp]

Just picked up a 2023. Hope to keep it as long as possible.

[@keithroe3323]

have the same truck glad to see high mileage

[@Gammell11]

Absolutely love following this truck. I have a 2023 Tacoma OR but unfortunately it doesn’t get used like it should. Sits in the garage while I drive my beater around.

[@ChampNike]

This makes me feel oh so goooood with my 3rd gen.

[@HeyThereItzJessie]

Lets goo 500k!😄

[@janpur1417]

WOW.. JUST THE ALTERNATOR.. EVEN THE WATER PUMP IS ORIGINAL.. THANKS! I HAVE 21 TACO O/R 4X4 MANUAL JUST LIKE YOURS AND AT 7K MILES STILL. THE TRUCK WILL OUTLIVE ME!

[@yyfreak1637]

Unless you live in an area where they use salt then they die just as quick as the rest of them

[@lucaspineiro6859]

Absolutely AMAZING!

[@bowstobourbon]

oh man thats awesome, my 21 auto lasted 15k miles lol had a lemon and toyota was a nightmare to deal with. I knew i should have gotten the manual :( so awesome to see yours is doing so well

[@DavidMinkCCCMD]

I’ve been anxiously awaiting this one !

[@lbbradley55]

Awesome... makes me feel good i have this same truck. 2023 TRD OFF ROAD So does it still have the same POWER !!!

[@samueljlarson]

Awesome video man! I have a first gen 4x4 Tacoma with 285K w/ no signs of slowing down. Thanks for the upload.

[@socaloutdoors7355]

Badass! 2018 Trd/Offroad here in San Diego 🤘

[@sengpadangsumlut3979]

Please repair and maintenance routine videos also

Got 2020 Taco SR5 with 110K in five years. Never had an issue. All fluids are maintained.

I’m not surprised to see the new update. Thank you 🫡

Now this is entertainment, nice work 🤙

Please keep these coming

Nice man. Hoping to be in the same boat as you, it's just gonna take a LOT longer to get there lol.

[@tacomafan5186]

Great review. Love my 3rd gen.

[@stratstrangler22]

I wonder if the automatic transmission will hold up that well?

[@league6767]

He’s back!

[@curtisjordan9210]

What is your go-to choice of fuel?

[@jaymoar3561]

Spark plugs every 200k miles!? 🤯

[@endurocox5467]

I misspoke on this. I changed them at 150k & 300k

[@jaymoar3561]

@@endurocox5467 That sounds better with iridium plugs.

[@homebound-g3o]

Did you do your own transmission and differntial work or pay someone?

[@justing6594]

Dude this is awesome! I'm looking at a 2003 with 278k tomorrow. I think if the frames not Swiss cheese I'm g9nna buy it. You think a 03 will last over 400k?

[@taemac10]

If it was maintained it should..

[@driftx2]

I've been through 4 jeeps in the same timeframe

[@splat7147]

How often have you changed the manual transmission fluid?

[@dl1000yb]

What is your transmission change process?

[@douglasjuvinall3118]

Love your Tacoma vids! couple quick questions, are those Toyota Pro wheels or are they an aftermarket company? Also do you run stock tire size 265/70r16? Thanks, another great video!!!

[@endurocox5467]

They’re oem pro wheels with aftermarket center caps. 265/75 r 16

[@vinboughton4751]

Insane

[@jordan36w]

I have a 2006 4.0 blew the headgasket at 260k put blew devil in it now at 297k running strong.

[@tristanalo1915]

Wow bro …. Been waiting for this lol

[@tambosnipes1652]

What happen with the slight misfire

[@endurocox5467]

Still occuring.

[@edwardoperez1663]

What type of gear oil and viscosity you use on the transfer? Thanks!

[@MontanaRealtyCompany934]

Thank you.

[@mattkearns5574]

Hell yeah bro

[@palillo2006]

Does this have the common front timing cover leak? Or has this been fixed? My dad's 2019 had ther service done at 124k.

[@endurocox5467]

Never leaked.

[@stephenzies8867]

AMAZING Quality ! 👍

[@jimf.625]

Question. Do you keep the ECT on the entire time while towing?

[@Tacoma_1Gen]

Hell yeah man

[@JordyMonsterrr]

Going for the 1 million mile challenge lol

[@peter_88]

Any lift or is that stock?

[@thomasbarbjr.5934]

What are you running in the rear suspension to tow that trailer? I have a cap on the back that makes it squat some, and towing a trailer makes it worse. Looking to upgrade.

[@endurocox5467]

Firestone air bags. Been on since 1000 miles. Trouble free

[@StayTunedMoto]

Original front axles also? Needle bearing?

[@endurocox5467]

Original

[@bencoutts681]

Just got into a 6 speed. What’s the best way to get good MPG outta of it what RPM’s are u typical shifting at normal driving ?

[@wigum12]

if you drive it like a grandma around town, you will get like 16-17 mpg. if you get on it on the highway but still drive it like a grandma ( keep it under 75 mph) you can get 19-20 mpg. i knew that the manual tacomas get worse fuel economy but i dont care its so much fun to drive

[@porkycorker7674]

Wild. Roughly speaking, how much of your driving is highway versus city traffic?

[@endurocox5467]

Probably 60-70% highway. A lot of idling though. I estimate engine has approximately 16,000 hours on it.

[@mathewgear]

Not even broke in yet

[@ejshelby5460]

Thank youuuu

[@rodolforangel1758]

What size wheel and tires?

[@endurocox5467]

265/75 r16

[@JuanManuel-fm9jt]

Is it Tuned?

[@endurocox5467]

No

[@PonyFoot123]

Good on you man. This is gonna be a million mile truck! Dont give it to toyota for them to figure out how to reduce reliability…oh wait

[@renecastillo758]

V6 or v4

[@league6767]

I understand you bought this when it was new. Did you perform any engine break in when you bought it? Or did you just drive it off the lot. Curious on how much that affects these.

[@endurocox5467]

Drove it approximately 300 miles home. Didn't change oil until 10k miles.

[@league6767]

@@endurocox5467 I see. Thanks for the response! Did you drive it normal? Like with cruise control and stuff? Or did you vary the RPMs?

[@scottvickery2057]

How heavy is that trailer with everything that is in it?

[@endurocox5467]

Guesstimating around 6k total

[@bencoutts681]

Are u on the OG clutch as well ?

[@wigum12]

yea he said hes on og clutch. insane

[@tonysteele3805]

Do you have any idea what the cylinder misfire might be?

[@endurocox5467]

Pretty sure it’s valve seat related

[@lbbradley55]

Does it still have the same POWER !

[@endurocox5467]

It’s definitely down on power a bit. Compression in cylinder 1/2 is down 60 psi. 3/4 is down 30-40 psi. 5/6 are still in spec.

[@fringelunatic]

someone show a million mile Tacoma. I am sure there is one.

[@user-zs1fr7im6l]

FUN TIMES !
