Seriously though, I have a 2003 sr5 long bed and LOVE IT. drives and parks like a car, still a beast. Also only 61,000 miles (half of those in the last year since I got it ) Blue book is still around 10g's too.
I have a 02 Taco sr5 4x4 . Just hit 100K last week. Its been the most maintenance free automobile Ive ever had. I just dumped some money into in b/c of hitting 100K, but other than that its been brakes and oil changes.
Mine's an 02 4x4 Extra Cab, 120k miles and yes, 3k mile maintenance, brakes, and timing belt the only major expenditures. (Bought new) Best vehicle I've ever owned... lots of long roadies and dirt road use, too. I have an ARE topper on it with a Yakima rack for kayaks.
I tend to keep vehicles until I can no longer afford the maintenance or they leave me stranded somewhere... I've had Fords and Chevys this old and they were major POS money pits after 90k. I think I'll have this truck a long time yet.
My only complaint is that because of the tighter engine compartment, the oil filter is in a difficult spot to reach without a lift, so it's a messy job... I take it in for lube and oil, but luckily, I have a pro mechanic in the family.
Oh and great post screenxpress!
