Victor Sheppard, a long-time brand loyalist, bought his 15th Toyota Tundra in 2007. The Tundra is one reliable truck, which is what Sheppard counts on, because he is no ordinary driver.
The average driver puts about 12,000 miles on their odometer every year. Sheppard drives 125,000.
In nine short years, that 2007 Tundra had exceeded 1 million miles. And Toyota wanted it back.
"Having a million-mile truck in as pristine condition as this one with original parts is a truly rare find," explained Mike Sweers, chief truck engineer from Toyota Technical Center. "Our team plans to tear down the entire truck, bumper-to-bumper, top-to-bottom to evaluate how the quality and safety we designed, engineered and built into the Tundra has held up to over one-million miles of real-world driving and help us continue providing ever-better vehicles for our customers."
So, on May 11, Victor Sheppard made a once-in-a-lifetime trade deal: his used truck for a brand new 2016 Toyota Tundra.
While we can't offer you that kind of deal, Capitol Toyota will give you a great price to trade in, or outright buy your used car, even if you aren't buying from us. Check us out at our convenient location in Salem.
