Victor Sheppard purchased a new Toyota Tundra from his local dealership in Louisiana in 2007. He was interested in the Tundra because he was well aware of its reliability into high mileage -- and he would need that.
While it takes more drivers about ten years to put 125,000 miles onto their vehicle's odometer, Sheppard does it in one. After only nine years, and nearly non-stop travel, his Tundra exceeded the million-mile mark.
This particular pickup is unique in a few ways. Notably, it was among the first trucks assembled exclusively at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas, Inc., which has since gone on to produce over a million trucks in San Antonio. Toyota engineers hope to uncover more of its secrets to long-life. To get their hands on the high-mileage Tundra, they traded Sheppard for a pristine 2016 model.
One thing is for sure, keeping up with factory-scheduled maintenance helps a vehicle unlock its fullest potential, and Sheppard never skipped an oil change. Schedule a service appointment at Lithia Toyota of Klamath Falls, and see how long you can stay on the road.
