This came across in my YouTube subscription list a day or two ago.
I think this is probably the newest 1,000,000 mile vehicle I've seen. I didn't come away from the video without questions, though.
The odometer reads 9999999. Does it just stop counting at that number? I would expect it to "roll over" as analog odometers used to do. The Toyota spokesman also mentioned the engine having had two timing chains replaced. If I'm not mistaken, this is Toyota's 2UZ-FE engine, which uses timing belts. The UR-series engine (4.6, 5.0, and 5.7L displacements) uses timing chains, but the 4.7L in this truck uses timing belts. I guess it shows how durable a timing belt system is if this truck has had only two belt replacements. It would also show the Toyota guy's ignorance on the engine design.
Interesting nonetheless.
