We’ve owned 6. Currently an ‘18 cruiser, ‘14 tundra limited and an ‘03 Tacoma crew TRD. If it wasn’t for the work trucks and dump trucks, I’d see no reason to buy anything else.

Still want to know the cost of the batteries that drive the electric motor in that Prius. Not the one that starts the gas engine..mb The ignition battery actually starts the systems... more than "starting the car" kinda thing. But to answer your question specifically... No idea... they haven't ever gone bad. I guess I could Google it, but so could you. They come with some crazy long warranty anyway.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Not the one that starts the gas engine..mb My wife has a Lexus RX450H Hybrid and has very similar battery as the Prius. My Lexus has 180K miles and is going on year 12 of the original battery. It is still cruising along just fine. In my research for a replacement hybrid battery, there are a couple options. One is to have the battery refurbished and just have individual cells replaced. This is not always possible though. The other is a complete replacement. The cost of this runs $4000 or so installed.

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. I have a 2012 Taco that I have absolutely pounded On for 200k miles. I've replaced a serpentine belt, 1 set of brakes and a AC compressor clutch. That's it.

Most of our members think China and Japan are the same place. When I was 18, (32 years ago) an old WWII vet damn near whipped my ass for driving a Mitsubishi (dodge D50) because Mitsubishi apparently made the zero aircraft the kamikazis flew into Pearl Harbor. I had no idea it wasn’t made by dodge at that time. Dude was hot!

My 2004 SR5 4x4 TRD Off-road 5 Spd Manual Ext Cab baby goes anywhere. It is only used for H&F. Believe it or not only 70K miles. Yes it proudly wears its “Toyota Rash.” ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/4dQCYMQ7/11840-AA3-2023-4-CFB-813-D-2-D0-B9-BA271-B7.jpg)

It is not fast, or fancy, but it just keeps going and going. I trust some Toyota's. Some not so much. As for buying new, no I tried that and got the run around when a new Tacoma went tits up. Boy was that an ordeal, but sure got the run around for a few months until threatening with a lawyer. Toyota usually does not stand behind their product very well. No rental cars, no hotel rooms, you are pretty much on your own. I do trust some Toyota vehicles though. They are made well and last a long time typically. The old ones like your landcruiser were very dependable. The first Toyota pu I had was an 83 4x4 SR5 and it was tricked out when I got it. Lockers, header, webber/offenhouser. It ran well and was damn reliable. I prefer Honda cars over toyota cars though, but Toyota for pickups and utility vehicles. This one does very well and it is 22 years old. I perform all maintenance on it: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/LF4QLyP.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/SbJCOsy.jpg) The power to weight ratio is just right on this one. Not like the generation after this one. Those are fn gargabe. Small v8 in a big heavy pickup just does not make any sense. Trust me, this one is getting ready for the work it's going to have to do this winter...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

My 09 Tacoma is about to roll 300k. It has been a very dependable vehicle that has been pushed pretty hard.

If I had been strafed by them several times; I would not have been a fan either. He did manage to shoot one down one tho so there’s that.

That’s right. Clear coat peeling. Quite common. Too bad they never recalled it.
