Some dude racked up a million miles on a Toyota Tundra and Toyota traded him a brand new Tundra in exchange for his old one. The million-miler was all original and Toyota tore it down bolt by bolt for the engineers to inspect every single part to see what improvements they might make on future parts, but danged if they could find any shortcomings! They dyno'd the engine and it passed with a score of 99/100 which would have qualified as acceptable performance for a NEW engine!

They said the truck was not babied as the guy hauled 1500-2700 pound pallets of some sort of product cross-country. Toyota said the bed was beat all to shit, but there were no engineering or structural failures.

They were pretty excited that the seats held up so well and even sent them to Japan to be examined by the engineers there. The guy was no lightweight and usually slept in the truck during his cross country hauls, so the seats got a real workout. They were right, he ain't persactly a small dude!

I'd like to know how many miles he could'a racked up if Toyota hadn't traded him out of it? Anyway, it's an interesting Motor Trend article if you care to read it. Heck, you should get another easy 900,000 miles or so out'ta yours!
