I rarely comment although this is as good a topic as any. I have a 2010 5.7 with 144,000 + miles. Just drove from San Diego to upstate New York, then to Boston, and returned to San Diego. I carried a 700 lb BMW motorcycle in the truck bed, and towed my daughters 5000 lb + 3 series BMW on a trailer during the drive to the east coast. The truck ran great although outside of Albuquerque NM my engine began to heat up. Nursed it into a Toyota dealership in Albuquerque and after the lead mechanic, service adviser, and myself stared at the engine for 30 minutes, we found that the radiator cap had lost pressure. New radiator cap for $18 and back on the road to San Diego. Been back in San Diego for a week and the truck runs like it did when I purchased it. Great trucks. BTW I did install air bags in the rear for the added weight. Highly recommended addition.

Before I made a rookie mistake on an upgraded /repair, I had 378,732. Then I decided I’d replace the engine instead of selling it to a sucker. I bought a running working engine with 110,238 disconnected the old one plucked in out and out the new to me in and plugged it in been trucking forward ever since. Lost track of the miles tho
I have a white 2007 Tundra Limited 2ZU-FE 4.7LT Leather, power everything, 2WD with 20” TRD wheels Blk ( that I refinished myself missing an wheel cap 😩 ), New JBA headers and flow master exhaust, ( cause the manifold crack at about 350K )

Thanks for the recommendation about air bags :) I guess I will give it a go.

My Tundra rolled over 150k miles. Still running strong, no complaints.
UPD: today had some engine issue :confused: Even had to call a mechanic.

2007 SR5 TRD DC sporting an ARE MX mid-rise cap. 154,207 on the clock. Frame replaced in November 2019 so I will have this truck for a very long time. Going to need a new set of Michelin LTX AT2 tires. There are 77,000 miles on the existing ones, but they are still legal. I go with the light truck version over the passenger ones and run them at 55 PSI unless towing.

I long ago did the TPMS delete mod and ditched all the sensors.
