I’ve driven tons of miles in Toyotas since 1982. Actual break/fix items have been very few, and often self-inflicted. For example, flushing the OEM red out of my cooling system and replacing with Prestone green with silicates, then having a water pump failure 15,000 miles later. Duh.
There are lots of gripes on here about not enough horsepower, “dated” engines and transmissions, “outdated” tech, etc. But their 4Runner still starts and runs every day. Sometimes it’s like the insane reliability is taken for granted, and that Toyotas should be head and shoulders above every competing vehicle in every other aspect as well, for a lower price. Reliability in a Toyota is an expected thing.
If reliability were treated as a feature, and you stack-ranked all common features of all vehicles, in my book it would be feature #1. And Toyota would own it.
