I love how Toyota has prevailed through this. Top sales in March and idiots trying to say their car did it to just try and take advantage of a situation. Society has issues.....laugh Even better that Toyota came out with the 0% financing and others had to follow afterwards to still try and keep up....GM says.."May the best car win"....We already know who that is drinker

I have a Merc-Benz with 210,000 miles on it and still running strong. I tried Toyota and Honda before, but somehow I just don't fit in them, I feel like a sardine in a can. And I don't have money for the bigger japanes cars, I got my mercedes pretty cheap, it had a bad tranny, but since my brother is a mechanic... :wink:

LOL...I drive the same 1966 Ford F-250 that my Grandfather bought brand new. It was given to to my Dad, and then he gave it to me.

We have all receipts from day one, and she's still going fairly strong considering the documented 591,000 miles on her!! Stock original shorblock, had a valve job done on her in 1972 and again in 1991. A new carb was installed in 1988 along with a new upgraded distributor.
The original transmission has been rebuilt twice and the rear axle has been rebuilt once.

Today, she smokes like a freight train and everybody looks at it, but Im proud to drive it...never been wrecked or rusted. Its a keeper for life!!
Pretty soon, I'll go thru and rebuild everything again to make it all new.

Never seen a Toyota last as long as this. They may go the same miles, but they wont last 45+ years.

591K is not even broken in yet for a Toyota. My parts truck has 785K on it and sill kicking hard. One of my customers turned over a million miles on a 1992 4x2 truck with a 22r in it. All original with no smoking at all. He is an east coast courier and loves the truck dearly. Consistent customers coming in with 300k and 400k on them all the time with their history only being light maintenance. This you will never see on a consistent basis from any domestic. I highly respect your truck and thats great, but you have had some major repairs obviously...Its a true classic though drinker

LOL...785K on a Toyota with a 22R in it??...ROTFLMAO.....no way Jose!!
I had a 88 Toyota with a 22RE in it, and the side of the engine block cracked while I was on the freeway...spilling out all the coolant and oil and seizing the engine.

Sorry, but the 22R/22RE motors were JUNK. They also had the tendency to warp the cylinder head and blow out the head gasket.
They did'nt last long at all.

Better go back and pray to the Toyota gods for better products!!

A neighbor was taking a new Dodge Ram to Colorado and it blew up on him.

Freak accidents happen.

Dad had a Ford Ranger that had about 500,000 miles on it, and he used and abused the crap out of it. Mom made him sell it, and it was still running.

He went with a Ford F-150 this time. No complaints.

Mom has one of the special edition older Toyota Scion XB's and loves it. It was doing 42 miles to the gallon right off the bat.

I'd take a Toyota Tacoma or Tundra in a heartbeat. But they are pricey.

In the meantime, I use and abuse the Ford Focus.

My vehicles are expected to work.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is seeking the maximum fine of $16.4 million against Toyota Motor Corp. for failing to notify the agency of a "sticky pedal" defect in its cars for at least four months.

Under federal regulations, automakers are required to inform the agency within five days of determining that a safety defect exists in one of its products.




NHTSA learned, through documents obtained from Toyota (TM), that the automaker knew of sticky gas pedal problems since at least September, 2009, the agency said in an press release.
