Finally to 300,000 Miles!

TL;DR - It's taken a longer than the previous one hundred thousand miles, but I'm up to 300K miles!

Milestone!

Yay!

Now that we're flying down to Las Vegas to pick up the Tacoma for winter trips - rather than driving from the Pacific Northwest - I've been putting a lot fewer miles on the odometer every year. In fact, it's taken more than five years to climb from 200,000 to 300,000, where it only took about half that time for the previous milestone!

Over that time, it has continued to serve us well, working almost flawlessly with only preventative maintenance and a few modifications here and there.

A few years ago, I was sure that I was going to get it up to 500,000 or even a million miles, but at the current pace, that's going to take a while.

For now, here are the stats from the previous few years:

Year ODO Start ODO End Miles Hwy MPG
Nov 2021 - Dec 2022 200,045 238,520 38,475 17.61
2023 238,520 257,788 19,268 17.35
2024 257,788 276,791 19,003 17.57
2025 276,791 296,079 19,288 18.60
through May 2026 296,079 300,300 4,682 18.68

      Thanks!

      My initial reaction was "200K on a 2017. Wow, you're really packing them on!" But then I realized that a 2017 is 10 years old now, and I'm just getting old, hahaha!

      Still, sounds like you'll catch me pretty quickly. I'm going to have to get out for more exploring to try to keep ahead. 😉

        maybe not!

        my life will be becoming quite a bit more stationary in 2027 but I still hope to get out for the occasional camping weekends weather permitting.

        truck has required some odd maint issues I wasn't expecting like a new radiator, failed cab mounts, etc. I am mostly happy with the various upgrades I have done to the suspension, etc. *might* go with LT tires when the current AT tires are done. very happy I (finally) got the toyota super white paint issue resolved.

        biggest item on the horizon is getting a replacement rear bumper and maybe a corbeau drivers seat.
