If you own a Toyota truck, you're not the type of person who takes it for granted. Toyota truck owners work hard for their trucks, just as their trucks work hard for them. Which is why many Toyota truck owners are dedicated to keeping their trucks on the road for as long as they'll run, and with the quality of Toyota parts and engineering, that can be for a good, long time. Yet while some owners keep their trucks on the road upwards of 150,000 to 200,000 miles, one owner has gone above and beyond, as he just finally traded-in his 2007 Toyota Tundra with its odometer clocking over one million miles.

Victor Sheppard, owner of the million mile Tundra, drove an average of 125,000 miles per year over the course of nine years to achieve this Herculean feat of vehicular longevity. But there's no great secret to how he did it. Sheppard says he just followed his owner's manual and kept up with the Tundra's manufacturer scheduled maintenance, ensuring that he took it to his authorized local Toyota service center and used only authentic Toyota parts on the ones that needed to be replaced.
Surprisingly, very few parts actually did need to be replaced, and Sheppard says that despite a few dents and a little dirt, his 2007 Tundra runs just as well as it did when he first bought it. For his epic trade-in, Sheppard drove off in a brand-new 2016 Tundra, which he'll no doubt be driving for many years to come.
