One Man, One Toyota Tundra, One Million Miles



Thanks to its owner, Victor Sheppard, the 2007 Toyota Tundra you see here hit the million-mile mark in less than a decade. Then he kept driving it.

Read the rest on the ClubLexus.com homepage. >>

Very cool and interesting. Looks like this was the 4.7 as they mentioned timing belt replacement. Interesting to not, this was a 2007 first year model.

I would like to see and read the owners maintenance and repair list. Just to say it went 1 million miles is one thing, but I would still like to read in dept what repairs the truck might of needed.

Yeah, I'm wondering if he had the automatic rebuilt once or twice. Even in commercial trucks and buses that do rack up 1 million miles before being retired, the auto trannies usually don't last that long.

I could see Toyota powertrains lasting, but emissions, suspensions parts etc, steering would likely all needed replacement.
