Meet the 2 million mile Tundra Owner 😱😱😱 (watch to learn his secret to reliability)

[LSnium]

My dad has a 2002 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pre-Runner V6 (bought it new), with almost 400k miles, he drove it everyday for work as an auto mechanic salesman, thing runs with all its original parts, the truck is still around, but my dad isnt, everytime I see the truck outside it reminds me of him.

[browndogstt]

I had a 96 tacoma that I used for a work truck. At the time I drove 10k miles a month. Toyota recommended 7500 mile oil changes. I went 15k miles on synthetic oil between changes because I didn't want to change the oil every three weeks. I sold the truck at 324k miles and never had a single problem with it. Toyotas will last forever if you do basic maintenance. I run amsoil synthetic and use amsoil filters.

There are several 4.7 and 5.7 liter Tundras out there with over a million miles. The domestic truck fan boys still don't believe the Tundras are the most reliable trucks on the planet.

This guy don’t know what the hell he is doing under the hood. Have a feeling this is the the new customer group Toyota is looking for with the v6 tundra

[genegtaylor]

An advantage of changing my own oil is I have never run into a situation like this. It only takes me about 20 minutes, too. Such an easy maintenance item.

[Afraidsolution]

The first 3 minutes of this is like two people seeing an engine for the first time. The truck includes a maintenance schedule BTW.

[bubba]

Man that guy is going to be in another million mile video! That's very encouraging. I have a 2016 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro and have never had a single problem with it. I hope I get a million miles too🤞

[sersan]

Congrats on meeting the million mile tundra driver. I don't think I've seen another youtuber interview him about his tundras. You should've ask more questions about his driving style, if he tows with it or how much payload does he travel with. Great video

Oil change intervals should be determined by engine hours instead of miles. Someone who does all city driving in traffic will put many more engine hours on their car or truck before reaching 5 or 10, 000 miles. Boats. Generators. Heavy equipment, all have hour meters. They go off hours. It makes more sense. In the winter time if I get to work early, I sit in my truck with the heat on. That’s an extra 2.5 hours of run time a week. It adds up. In my case. Or anyone who does all city driving, I gotta believe it’s a wise choice to do your oil changes before 10, 000 miles. Just my 2-cents.

[PercentAshamedOfU]

I honestly only think he did 10k because he reaches intervals frequently and rapidly and it would get annoying doing an oil change once or a month or however often the usual 5k sneaks up on him. Although, it’s good to follow the 2 million mile man’s advice, 10k would stress me out. Especially with city miles.

2022 Tundra owner: "Thats exactly why I bought a Tundra... because that's my goal" (700K miles).

Proceeds to pressure wash entire engine bay 🤦‍♂️

[rxdude]

It’s very very unlikely you will get 700k miles in new tundra as it’s not naturally aspirated any more. Those turbos will go out at 100-150k miles before rebuilding. Also, electronics tend to go out faster as you will see many sensors break. Nothing beats the 5.7 V8.

For future reference:
Always Follow owners manual. 100% worth a read. Synthetic can easily last up to 10k if all your miles are highway, like that other tundra owner. Personally change mine once a year or every 6-8k (mix driving) on synthetic, 4-5k on conventional.

Future tunda content idea:
Change oil yourself!

[judee]

A few pointers here.
1. Read and follow the owners manual
2. Slam the hood. Put your purse down and slam the hood. With rubber dampeners, seals and an lightweight aluminum hood it needs to be put down kinda hard.
3. 5k oil changes are OK. Especially your first one.
4. Only use toyota filters. My 2005 tundra has 229, 000 miles on it. The after market filters are an inch shorter than OEM on my first gen tundra.
5. Only use great quality synthetic oil. I use amsoil in everything I own. And I mean everything. Use whatever you want but stick to it. Some dealership's use bulk synthetic and it's junk.

I wanna know his secret to affording that much gas

[staytheride]

I’ve been going back-and-forth with someone on YouTube arguing with me saying that “a Ram is more reliable than a Tundra”.

[buhopapas]

My uncle has a 1995 Toyota Tacoma with 350K miles original engine and parts, runs like dream

[marksman]

I damn near want to trade my silverado for one. Tundras are nice looking truck. I'll take the long bed one though.

[gr]

As a service advisor I would recommend doing your oil change every 3, 500-5, 00miles these engines run hot and with a turbocharged engine you want to make sure those turbos stay cool anyone that says every 10k miles is pushing it in my opinion.

[DH-mflv]

Don't think your engine will have the longevity of the previous Tundra's with a V8.
