How many miles does a Toyota Tundra last?
By the DealScan team · Updated 2026-07-11
Quick answer
300,000-mile 5.7 Tundras are common enough to be boring. A 150,000-mile truck with maintenance records and a rust-free frame is a safer buy than most 60,000-mile trucks from other brands.

With a Toyota Tundra, maintenance records matter far more than the number on the odometer. The issues below are what actually shorten a Tundra's life when they go unaddressed — check for them before you judge a car by its mileage.
- 2007–2013: secondary air injection pump failures; a repair that can run into the thousands, so check for codes and whether a documented fix or bypass exists
- 5.7L V8: cam tower oil seepage on many trucks; usually slow and cosmetic, but use it to negotiate
- Frame corrosion on 2007–2011 trucks from salt states; inspect the frame, not just the body
- 2022–2023 3.4L twin-turbo: engine recall for machining debris with engine replacements on affected VINs; confirm completion paperwork
What to verify on a high-mileage Tundra
- Air injection system codes and repair history (2007–2013)
- Frame condition underneath on any northern truck
- Recall completion by VIN on 2022–2023
- Signs of heavy towing: hitch wear, transmission service history
Toyota Tundra mileage FAQ
How many miles does a Toyota Tundra last?
300,000-mile 5.7 Tundras are common enough to be boring. A 150,000-mile truck with maintenance records and a rust-free frame is a safer buy than most 60,000-mile trucks from other brands.
Is a high-mileage Tundra safe to buy?
With records, yes; the 5.7 is proven far past 250,000 miles. Rust and neglect kill these trucks, not mileage.
Is a high-mileage Toyota Tundra worth buying?
A used Toyota Tundra with the 5.7L V8 (2007–2021) is one of the most durable trucks ever sold, with two known checkbook items: secondary air injection pump failures on 2007–2013 trucks and cam tower oil seepage. The 2022+ twin-turbo V6 generation is different: verify the engine recall for machining debris was resolved, because affected trucks got full engine replacements.
