Purchased on 10/27/25 - 945 miles (averaging 7.8 miles per day).

I don't work from home, but I don't live far from work. I do feel bad though as it wants & needs to be driven. It's been a rough winter and I've opted for less miles vs. more miles on heavily treated roads. I am looking forward to the end of winter when I can take it out without the salt & sand blasting the heck out of it. I would have greatly preferred purchasing it earlier, but for me (like many others) that wasn't option as I was waiting for an allocation.

just be mindful for those driving low miles between A <--> B in colder climates

those short trips are not very good for your exhaust system. the constant melting/freezing of the moisture in the exhaust system will eventually put holes into your tubing.

this has already happened on the wife's 23 tundra since she has a 3-5 mile round trip to work.

never gets to fully warm up and dry out the system unlike me that has a 16 mile 1-way commute at 55/75 mph.

here is a good example of our tundra when the wife remote starts it.

yellow circle is the moisture that melts and drains from the exhaust system

Leave your mileage down below if you do lots of driving!

Mine is at 6,066 mi, and it will be a year, in 2 weeks, wen I recieved it.

Nodak,

I appreciate the information and am aware of the problems short trips in cold climates can cause for both the exhaust and brakes. I've had this daily commute and extremely low miles for over 15 years. However, I have done quite well with my ultra low mileage vehicles when it has come time to trade. My 2011 Tundra SR5 had 48k when I traded it in 2021 for my 4R ORP. The 2021 had 17k when I traded it in for the current 2025 4R SP.

I did not have any exhaust issues with the Tundra or last 4R. It is true that the brakes may have gone earlier than normal due to the lack of driving, but would it have been better for me to add more miles to help keep the rotors from rusting and the calipers working smoothly?

In the past 11 years my vehicle maintenance costs have included 2 sets of brakes and 1 set of tires (not including oil changes). I completely agree with your insight (and have read and enjoyed hundreds of your posts over the past 6 months ), but so far I haven't had any related exhaust issues and don't plan on changing my driving habits to attempt to prevent issues. If I run into issues in the future, I will just have to pay to play (but I think I'll still come out ahead overall).
