253,496 miles Issues: -driver front wheel bearings(!) -intermittent coolant leak -transmission slip -driver front wheel abs not working V6 4.0L w/ Automatic Transmission Working 4x4 High-Low A/C Electronic windows and remote locking w/alarm Original engine & transmission! Stock interior! Trailer brake system w/ 7pin trailer connector (personally never used) Jump seats with originally backseat floor mats (For the kiddos and short adults) I’ve had this truck since May 4, 2020! The originally owner traded it in for a new truck at 146,000 miles, and I was given an opportunity during COVID to pick up my dream truck. Recently got married and found myself driving more miles than I had anticipated in my life, so I picked up a 2000 Toyota Corolla for gas efficiency. I now own too many vehicles to have in my apartment complex and can’t drive every single vehicle I own (4). The Lord, Jesus Christ, gave me this opportunity to learn everything I needed about maintaining and working on vehicles. This was not originally a project vehicle, but I was very encouraged to keep it alive and healthy for as long as I could! Repairs: Oil & filter change @every 3,000 miles Air filter every @every 20,000 miles EGR System , Spark Plugs & Coils@180,000 miles Transmission fluid, front brakes, and rotors, shocks for front and rear, front spring coils @210,000 miles Tie-rods, swaybar links, Coolant, front wheel bearings, rear drums & hardware & brake cylinders@220,000 miles Upper & Lower ball joints @240,000 miles Driver front spline @250,000 miles The canopy was installed back in August 2024 from a 1986 Toyota Tacoma, currently fits 0.5 inches past the tailgate, but it has helped with air circulation I’ve been driving most of its life on highway, occasionally using the truck bed for actually hauling, but mostly camping in it during my travels outside of the state. (I do have the foam mats and rolling carpet for the back) This was the truck that started my career, and drove for our wedding, and I’d love to see this in someone else’s life now that it was in mine ❤️🫂
