ribka; Good afternoon sir, I hope you're keeping cool enough today. We've hit 109°F in the shade this afternoon, so I have now retreated out of the sun for a bit. I'm happy to read that and hope that they don't cave into the current woke/snowflake agenda. Then too, we've had some fantastic service from Toyota vehicles and that doesn't hurt either. I've got a 2005 Corolla sitting in the yard that was a commuter ride for it's entire life which is 230,000 km or about 142,000 miles so far. In that time, I've replaced 4 spark plugs, the serpentine belt - it's tensioner too as I broke it being ham handed, the battery and I just did the brakes for the first time at 228,000. Anyways, I'm sure that the Big 3 make great vehicles that run on and on too, but I haven't owned one yet. My 2003 Dodge Cummins certainly isn't in that category. It is good to read of some companies doing what is right and true however, thanks much for bringing it to our attention. Stay cool as possible and keep well watered. Dwayne

My Camry and 4Runner are doing fine.
But I won’t condemn my 2006 Ford Ranger, it’s been around since Dec. 2005 and gotten me through some snow and ice to get to the cabin. Only needed 2 sets of tires, a starter, two batteries and 3 sets of wipers in the last 16 years. What more could I ask for?

I'm on my 6th Tacoma in 21 years. I'm recently retired so I'll be keeping the one I have now (2018 SR5) and hope to get many more years out of it. Love Toyota!

My 2015 Tundra with a 110,000 is just getting broken in. I have only had it for 40,000 miles but no issues. It replaced a 2006 Tacoma that had 200,000 on it.I bought that with 67,000. I had to replace the ball joints and such but never touched the engine or tranny or anything to do with the drive train. I would still be driving the Tacoma but we got a good size camper and preferred the extra towing capacity of the Tundra. I will most likely never be without a Toyota truck for the rest of my life.

Just plonked down a deposit on a new 4runner, it will be number 5. I have yet to spend a dime outside of PM and new shoes.

Been a Ford guy my whole life. Just saw their new woke ad posted here. I won’t be buying any more of their vehicles. Toyota it is.

My 2002 Camry just rolled over to 358,000 this weekend.

Dwayne My commuter is a 2005 Corolla. It's got a lot of miles on it now.....odometer stoped at 299,999 miles and it's been there quite a while now. Wife drives a Sienna, we sold the last Sienna right before it got to 300,000 miles. Have a Tundra that only gets used for farm work and hunting. It pulled several trailer loads of cattle and goats we wormed and rotated to new pasture this past weekend. It wouldn't know how to act without something in the bed or a trailer behind it. Toyota's have been great for us.

I have a 2009 F150 that has been the best vehicle I've ever owned. When it's time to replace it, as much as I like Ford trucks, I will likely end up with a Toyota after seeing this crap. I already am no fan of unions and since it appears that Toyota trucks made in the US are not made in union factories, an even easier decision.

My 2009 has 265k and still going strong. I hate to get rid of it! After pricing new Tacomas, I am going to keep it for another year or two. Just keep on gassin her up!
