200k miles Maverick club

Good on ‘ya mate! Last year when you posted your 1yr/100,000 milestone I predicted you’d hit 200,000 by end of 2026. But I also predicted you’d need your HVB replaced again. I might end up wrong at that prediction
At my mileage rate I’ll need to live until I’m 240 years old to 200,000 miles on my 2025. I’m no Moses so that won’t happen. But the goal for my over maintained truck is to survive until the year 2080.
I’ll be long gone - but my will stipulates the truck must be maintained. Don’t change oil every 3,000 miles? Trust money cut off. Other fluids every 10,000. If you satisfy the trust - you can sell the Maverick in 2080 as a survivor truck & keep the proceeds!

I drove a single Taco 528,000 severe duty miles in a bit less than six years.
I know I'm not alone.

There was that guy that Toyota gave a new truck to, because he drove over 1,000,000 miles. I forget if it was a Taco or a Tundra.

Had a buddy take a Toyota van, before the Sienna, it was the Previa I think ?
Flat opposed mid engine.
They stopped making that motor because it never stopped. Can’t have motors lasting that long. Harder to sell a new one if you don’t need a new one.
He hit One million. Top speed WOT
Was 65 mph. Low compression,
Imagine that !
Toyota gave him a hat and an ink pen.
FWIW,
Flat opposed motors at start up do not starve for oil while the pump is lifting it..
It’s flat, almost instant oil pressure.
This was before synthetic oil.
My buddy used jiffy lube barrel oil. The cheap stuff and
AND did 7,500 mile service intervals !
On roach oil.
But so many will keep wasting oil every 3,000 miles.
He got rid of the van when the top speed fell to 55 mph at about
1,002,000 miles I think it was.
Oh and he did it hauling weight and all the miles on one transmission.
Im telling ya, they build them all to die much sooner.

Ouch. It's a miracle you aren't crippled....
I can't think of a more uncomfortable vehicle.....- Thread starter

Before my Prius I own a 1996 Buick LeSabre, and I was using it for high mileage in town driving, lots of stop and go, averaging about 250 to 300 miles per day. I ended up changing the oil about every two months, which worked out to about 10,000 miles aside from having to have the top end rebuilt due to a coolant leak, that car never let me down.
This was before I knew about oil sampling, so I don’t really know how well the engine actually was doing, but it never started burning the oil

Ya’ll better start posting pictures of your odometers before Thanksgiving, otherwise I might have to claim the 200K crown.

Dang, you must go through a lot of diapers to get that many miles on a 2025. You should also write a book about all the drive-throughs you've encountered.I am sure that someone has probably beaten me to 200k, especially if they own a ‘22, but let’s see.

But seriously, well done. Not sure I could do it.

Very reliable van. Unfortunately I witnessed “twice” those things engulfed in flames along the highway. They can rival the best bonfires. I don’t think they were a major hazard… just my bad luck. As I passed by one on the opposite side of i84 in NY, we felt like we drove past an open oven (with our windows closed at nearly 100 yards).
Whatever the *new* car is is built to fail, whatever is *old* was built to last forever. True for every single decade.
Those engines were reliable but they were dog slow and not particularly efficient nor....clean burning. Notably, the most common million mile toyotas are all NEWER then that Previa.
Nice! Can you share your maintence schedule? At How many miles oil, trans and rdu fluid changed?I am sure that someone has probably beaten me to 200k, especially if they own a ‘22, but let’s see. Who’s in the >200k club? I will be there by December, myself.

I’ve settled on 25k oil changes (Blackstone reports slightly elevated numbers at 32k, so 25k is a memorable interval) which is about every 2 months or so.
No RDU nor PTU as it’s FWD, trans has been changed once at 100k, as has coolant, haven’t decided on a good interval for those yet
