Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I trust Toyota!

Fakebook flashed me an old post I had done...

"Two years ago Pearson Toyota towed/removed/rebuilt/reinstalled the electric motor on our 2010 Prius.

The car had 185,000 miles on it... and it was 11 years old.

NO CHARGE!!!

I trust Toyota...

Period... End of sentence"









I tipped the mechanic $500 cash when no one was looking.

The original 12v AGM ignition battery had fallen below the specified 12.4 volt minimum and this caused the motor/inverter to "Cook".

Toyota solved the problem without the slightest whine or complaint... in ONE DAY!

I trust Toyoda for a reliable product

Have three currently....newest is an '11

Mileage totaled for the three is 677K and counting

All are 4x4 SUV's

Same on reliable. I've owned 3 of them. Tercel was junk and for what they are, not unexpected but the truck and then Tacoma were excellent.

That's neat my 95 toyota tacoma 2.7 4cyl has 251,000 miles on it and doesn't need to be rebuilt. When the battery crapped out on it last time I just bought one at wallyworld and put it in myself then went out and bought myself a new gun and a steak dinner with drinks as a tip to myself..mb what did your new batteries cost? Mine was 89 bucks

But But But. Kia , Hyundai have a great warranty

Counter guy at the UPS center has a very old Prius with 280k on it , no issues whatsoever. He bought it used when it had 100k on it and the previous owner thought it was not long for this earth.

The AGMs are a bit expensive... it has to vent to atmosphere. $110 IIRC at the time.

I had a 03 Tundra. It had less than 10k miles on it and the Ck engine light kept coming on. Took it to the dealer. The mechanic told me they had a defective fuel neck that they knew about but never put out a recall to change out that 6” or so fill tube for gas. They charged me for it. Yeah trust Toyota.
I get better gas mileage with my full size F150 super crew than that little Tundra. It did get me a ticket once for “exhibition of Acceleration “ in Frost Texas from the local Elvis impersonator cop for spinning out on gravel at an intersection. It got dismissed though because apparently Elvis couldn’t spell either word.

I've had 3 Tacoma that were rock solid. Got as high as 243,000 on one...probably could have drove them all further, but worried I'd have to replace exhaust system and shocks...LOL

HOWEVER, the 2010 Tacoma I have now has been one thing after the next: of course the frame issue; left front wheel bearing; both struts; both u-joints; cabin fan motor; and now the motor assy. for the DS power window is giving out.

The struts and u-joints were covered by Toyota...but, it's that my trust in "Toyota quality" has been shaken...1 for 4 is mostly pretty good, but 25% failure rate???

Pondering a Dodge Ram for next truck.

Toyota doesn't seem to be going all in on the EV's, telling.

Replaced the '03 battery this past summer

Went with the AGM Everstart H6......$184 OTD

48 month replacement

Next size up the H7......little big for the tray

VERY MUCH SO!

.GOV is seriously pissed about that.

.GOV is going to be going "all in" on G rigs here shortly. Guess who will pay for that epic disaster?

Toyota vs the new Ford Maverick

I trust Toyota. They are the best for me.

Got charged $198.00 for a new coolant change on my '13 Tundra when I was having the transmission serviced. When reading the fine print of the invoice afterwards, the change consisted of 1(one) gallon of new coolant. Was also informed when I brought the truck in, to change the headlight shut off delay from 30 seconds to 180 seconds "is only $135.00". Glad to see your experience with a dealership was better than mine.

I had two Toyota Tacoma company vehicles that were certainly good/great vehicles, but no better than the F-150s that I have had. That said, I certainly appreciate that Toyota isn’t part of the UAW. That alone will get my business on our next purchase.

I love my Toyotas. I strayed away for an Explorer and Expedition a time or two but no more. I currently have a 1994 pickup, 2018 Tundra and my wife's car is a Lexus Hybrid. In the past, I had a couple of pickups (pre-Tacoma), a T100, a 2001 Tundra and a 2005 Tundra. The highest mileage was the 2001 Tundra that had over 380K miles on it when my son wrecked it. ALL were dependable but there were a few issues here and there. Nothing that was high dollar repairs, just O2 sensors and the like.

My hard earned money will be spent at Toyota/Lexus dealers only.

Toyotas owned me or my kids have owned:
1988 Pickup
1994 Pickup (still own)
1996 T100
2001 Tundra
2002 Sequoia
2003 Highlander
2004 Sequoia
2004 4Runner
2005 Tundra
2007 4Runner
2015 Tacoma
2018 Tundra (still own)

I trust Toyota. But I trust my Ford more. It's a better truck than my Tundra was and I liked the Tundra a lot.

I have owned 3 and still drive 2 of them, a 2014 Highlander with approx. 197,000 mi. and a 1998 4Runner with approx. 258,000 mi. When we replace one of those it will be with a Toyota most likely.

I do have a Ford F250 Super Duty for play.
