Our car is from 2004. 20 years is a bit of a stretch, but i hope it makes it.

20 years (or 200k to 300k miles) is easily doable in a Toyota in an area that doesn’t get salted.

There’s a reason old 4Runners and Tacomas and Land Cruisers are worth so much, and barely come up for sale in decent condition.

We get a LOT of salt. We're in the northeast US. I think it'll rust out before the engine and transmission die.
