I’ve had plenty of other vehicles, some good, some complete **** (cough cough, Jeep). There was hands down nothing I understood the engineering of (accept maybe a 92 Chevy 4wd with a 350 in it) or preferred driving over my Tacoma.
All 5 of my Toyota’s and the several other I’ve worked on or maintained over the years were reliable vehicles (except the 3.0 in my 92 4Runner, but there were some elements of beating the piss out of that thing) that were intuitive to work on.
Not like some Honda with adjustable valves or 8 reasons for erratic idling issues, or a Dodge Cummins where you or a mechanic just installed a part that didn’t fix the problem just to have to be pulled apart again, and again. I saw waaaay more issues that were more expensive and just plain dumb on those trucks over several model years, hopefully they fixed their issues with the decades of piece of **** automatic transmissions they put in those things.
I’ll take a Toyota any day
