How To Make Your Car Last a Million Miles: The Million-Mile Highlander

Toyota is famously known for their automobiles being one of the longest lasting cars to own. There are instances where there was a Toyota that went over one million miles on the odometer. The case study that we famously note is the Tundra that went over 1 million miles. But, we have a new one to talk about: a Toyota Highlander made it over a million miles; Mark Miller bought his Toyota Highlander in 2006 and shared the ways on how he got it to a million miles. And Toyota of Clermont is going to tell you all about it.

The Million-Mile Toyota Highlander Hybrid: The True Story

Mark Miller embodies the term ‘Toyota fan’; Mark Miller loves his car because they simply don’t break down on him, without warning. Mr. Miller owned the Million Mile Toyota Highlander, which is a true testament to this as he drove his Highlander for 17 years. He used the Toyota Highlander to tow trailers for his asphalt paving business and even used it as his office for his work trips when traveling all around Florida. 

Mark Miller’s 2006 Toyota Highlander ended its journey after the devastating Hurricane Ian went through Miller’s town in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. Frank Brice of Germain Toyota of Naples, the dealership where Mark Miller bought and went for his Toyota service for his Highlander returned his loyalty by gifting Miller with a brand new Bronze Edition Toyota Highlander Hybrid.
