Contrary to this post, there are a number of low cost Toyotas on Facebook marketplace that will last another dozens or more thousands of miles if maintained. I have a tundra that I paid little for, that is in great shape.

    Trucks seem to be built to a higher standard. I bought a Chevy Silverado on the cheap and its got over 280,000 miles on it and shows no sign of stopping. Don't ask me about mpg tho....
