1.52 Million Miles for this Toyota Tacoma

For work, the owner drives approximately 500 miles per day.

Mike Neal has already reached 1 million miles. His 2008 Toyota Tacoma has more than 1.52 million miles.

Neal purchased the truck brand new in November 2007. For his job, Neal drives 500 miles per day through Virginia and North Carolina to deliver the radioactive medicine required for PET scans.

Neal has found the Tacoma to be reliable. The engine had accumulated around 100,000 miles and needed to be replaced at 880,000 miles. Neal installed a gearbox because the truck’s transmission was likely to have little time left.

The odometer displays 999,999 miles but doesn’t roll. To keep track of mileage, Neal uses the tripometer. To inform other drivers of the distance, he uses decals to place on his back and updates it every 10,000 miles.

According to Neal’s figures, the Tacoma gets 22.5 to 23.5 miles per gallon. These figures are remarkable because of the EPA ratings for a Four-cylinder 2008 Tacoma with automatic gearbox is 19 mpg in the city, 25 highway and 21 combined..

The interior is beautiful despite the fact that it has seen a lot of traffic and you drive hundreds of miles every day. The cabin has some signs of wear, but it is still very clean.

Neal might consider buying a new Toyota. Although his wife wants him to stop driving the truck every day, they won’t let go of the pickup. This video’s host is trying to get a Toyota Tacoma for him.
