With regular maintenance, many Toyota Tacoma trucks surpass 250,000–300,000 miles, with some even reaching extraordinary seven-figure mileage.
The reliability of any particular car is more often than not down to the owner, rather than the car itself. Of course, there are exceptions, and so avoiding some of the most unreliable cars of recent years is wise when looking to make a durable, long-lasting purchase. Generally speaking, staying on top of regular services, sorting out issues as soon as they arise, and driving with a degree of mechanical sympathy are all ways of making your car last longer.
So, apply this logic to one of the most reliable cars ever made, like the Toyota Tacoma, and you might be surprised at just how long it can last. The latest generation of Tacoma is a little of an unknown, as it sports a new powertrain and transmission, so only time will tell how well these models perform. However, the Tacoma nameplate dates back to the mid-1990s, and so there is plenty of evidence of just how well these models can last well cared for. Astonishingly, there are examples of the Tacoma out there that have covered over 1.6 million miles, which might make the Japanese pickup one of the highest mileage vehicles in the world.
