A white 2007 Toyota Tundra became the world’s second example to pass the magic million-mile mark on its odometer.
The truck in question was even serviced at the same dealership -Greg Leblanc Toyota in Houma, Louisiana, in case you were wondering- with the first one, which was replaced for free by Toyota back in 2016 with a new Tundra.
Contract driver Aaron Morvant averaged a little over 83,300 per year with his Tundra as his job demanded him to cover huge distances, fetching parts for oil refineries, as reported by The Drive.

Morvant’s Tundra looks to be in great condition, considering how many miles it has on the clock; the bodywork has some dents as you would expect, and the bed shows heavy signs of usage but this is to be expected from any workhorse, especially one that carries a lot of very heavy stuff across the country.
The engine is all original, Toyota’s 4.7-liter V8 UZ unit, and the automatic transmission was overhauled a few hundred thousand miles ago. “I took it in to get the transmission rebuilt because it wasn’t shifting right,” Morvant said. “Looking back at it, I probably just needed it flushed.”
Apart from the rebuilt transmission, the world’s second million-mile Toyota Tundra has went through 20 sets of tires, two alternators and one water pump. Everything else was just regular maintenance.
It’s no wonder why Toyota enjoys a strong reputation for sturdy high-mileage cars and why Tundras are loved so much in the pickup truck world.
