Yep, the domestic manufacturers should take lessons from Toyota on their long term reliability. My BIL has a 2004 Camry w/ 300k on the clock with very minimal maintenance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Friend of mine drives disabled to and from appointments. Scotty hooked him up with a Camry with 300k on it. Had to retire it with over 500k. Currently in an older Highlander pushing over 300k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coworkers 05?06? Tundra now his sons truck has 380k miles still runs perfect unfortunately it got totaled on Friday. Toyotas are awesome cars for reliability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted December 19, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 19, 2022 Over 100K in my daily driver and by some standards here I've had zero issues.

Zero issues with the last 4 GM trucks I've had. Fifth one back had a roof leak at the A pillar but that was after a tornado dropped a tree on it.

The numbers, which are lower than in 2021, suggest that the Japanese manufacturer also is affected by the industry-wide supply challenges. Toyota: 450,227 (down 14.9%) Lexus: 64,365 (down 13.3%) Total: 514,592 (down 14.7%) Out of that, electrified vehicles (HEV, PHEV, BEV, FCEV) stand for 132,938 or nearly 25.8% of the total volume: Toyota xEV: 119,938 (down 4.4%) Lexus xEV: 13,116 (up 0.8%) Total xEV: 132,938 (down 3.9%) and 25.8% of the total volume Unfortunately, plug-in electric vehicle sales also have decreased compared to the previous year, despite Lexus launching its first PHEV. The share of plug-ins remains relatively low out of the total volume (1.6%), but on the positive side - the only way forward is up. Toyota plug-ins: 7,819 (down 20%) Lexus plug-ins: 605 (new) Total plug-ins: 8,424 (down 14%) and 1.6% of the total volume *FCEVs: 715 (down 17. https://insideevs.com/news/577499/us-toyota-plugin-sales-2022q1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActionfigureJoe Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Toyota is 100% correct. Pursuing a 100% electric model Is going to burn a lot of car companies. Look at how the Ford Lightening has turned out to be a dud. In a very short time those things will be virtually worthless. I can’t understand why companies aren’t moving in the direction of rechargeable hybrid vehicles. Especially light trucks. Smaller battery packs with 25-40 miles of range. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots will still buy for the virtue signal but these things aren't cheap and really aren't very practical if I was just commuting around San Diego I can see where a Tesla works. But not here. it could be good if they ever figure out battery tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
