[edit] More reliable than US made trucks?
can we see some evidence of this, please? Bostonbruins 15:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I purchased a 94 T100 new, 210,000 miles and still running strong. If you search cars.com or autotrader you find us running with 300,000+ miles. Japan put a strong contender on the market that was basically a toyota camery with a full size truck bed on it. They came in the market to compete and didn't believe bigger was better. In 2007 my 1994 T100 still has the largest bed for a 1/2 ton truck. The only drawback was the lack of extended cab which was addressed in 1995. Sorry but as good as the Tundra is today (arguably the best truck in the USA) the T100 was a better truck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.172.216.130 (talk) 23:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
I would have to second the above comments. I currently have over 256,000 miles on my 1997 T100, 4 X 4, extended cab. The motor, transmission, starter, alternator, P/S pump, etc. are all original and in good working order with no suggestion of impending failure. I can pull down 20+ mpg on the interstate highways; roughly 17 mpg in town. The things I have repaired or replaced: cv boots, universal joints, brakes, muffler, battery, an occasional light bulb, and normal oil and fluid changes. I'm on my fourth set of tires (those Michelin LTX M/S really held up well!) and the truck is running fine. I have no intentions to replace it. Simply put: Buckle up-->Insert key-->Start-->Go, Repeat as necessary. 75.100.3.71 18:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I bought a 1995 DX Extended cab 4x4 5speed five years ago with 182,000 and am currently at 223,000 with a clutch replacement and timing belt/water pump replacement. To the best of my knowledge, the only major component change prior to my purchase was a starter. Having said all this, I too have to agree with the above statements. The engine uses no oil, it gets a respectable 17 to 19 mpg mixed commuting and a solid 19 to 20 mpg on the interstate doing 75-ish mph. Nothing but routine maintainence. I'll keep this truck till it just won't run any more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.185.253.175 (talk) 00:06, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I agree with the above. I have 230,000 on my 96 T100 extended cab and I have been towing a 2000lb camper with no ill efects. I love it and will fix what ever needs fix'in. Best truck I have ever owned. (Sorry to my ole 69 Ford 150) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.130.46 (talk) 23:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
You don't see a whole lot of anecdotal evidence in an encyclopedia, guys. When he asks for evidence, he means some charts in an auto magazine, Consumer Reports studies...something like that.98.199.228.211 (talk) 11:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
