Folks,
I am debating whether to keep my T100 or not. It is a 98 4x4 SR5 w/ 3.4L. 270k miles. All in all I've put only about 6 grand into repairs over the years. Its done me quite well, its good off road ( I cut timber so its to get to work, not recreational) Not abused, but well used. Never overloaded, but plenty hauled with it. No rust, none. Some cosmetic blemishes. It may be starting to leak a hair of oil but I just went on a 2000 mile road trip and didn't lose but no more than an 1/8 of a quart. I've been religious on oil changes.
So my work is taking me 250 miles round trip. Daily. Thinking about getting a tacoma w/ under 100k. But then I think, why get rid of this truck? Because something inside me says this is racking up too many miles on an older truck, it ought to be traded to someone who could use it for more local use.
So what would I do to evaluate the longevity of this truck, to see if i can get another 100k out of it? Thank you.
