Twice drove 1.6 million kilometers with a Toyota the man

Incredible: in the United States, a man took 1.6 million kilometers with a Toyota tundra twice in a few years!

• Victor Shepherd also traveled 1.6 million kilometers with two different Toyota tundra.

• Toyota rewarded the man with a new model for his performance.

• The second tundra operated reliably up to 1.25 million kilometers without significant maintenance.

Victor Shepherd is a real mileage! Within a few years, the American man has crossed the one million mile dream with two different Toyota tundra – equivalent to about 1.6 million kilometers. And what does Shepherd do then? He leads even more!

The Auto bild already reported in January 2024 About Shepherd’s performance. The man delivers goods across the United States throughout the United States, so he sits in the car virtually without stopping and miles. It travels an average of about 180,000 kilometers a year.

It has already become a local celebrity with its newly bought toyota tundra SR5 Double Cab in 2007 at 999,999 miles-about. It means 1.6 million kilometers. When Toyota became aware of this fascinating performance, in the summer of 2016, he was offered a brand new Tundra Limited Crew Cab model for the old man, which the manufacturer then thoroughly picked up and examined.

The 2007 pickup was still the original engine and gearbox! Shepherd decided to use the new pickup offered by Toyota for private purposes, while a 2014 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cabot (5.7 liters V8) was used for transport, which he obtained as a spare before the replacement.

THE Pickuptrucktalk.com According to blog, on April 9, 2025, Shepherd reached one million miles with this car, though a little later, as Auto Bild predicted in early 2024: approx. A 10,000 mile performance was expected by October 2024, the second « mile million » title. This ended six months later, because, as Shepherd said, in 2024 the business year was not expected.

So Shepherd in 18 years is approx. He has traveled 3.2 million kilometers with the two Toyota Tundra – more than eight times the distance between the Earth and the moon.

The second car also proved to be incredibly reliable: besides regular maintenance and replacement of the hound parts, the V8 engine did not have to touch the V8 engine. This was also true for 780,000 miles (about 1.25 million km) for the gearbox, which at that time indicated the error. As Shepherd found the repair time too long, he led another 80,000 kilometers with the faulty gear before he finally replaced it. At that time, the generator was replaced.

Of course, Shepherd will not stop, and he will continue to collect the kilometers – for the next million!
