How are they so damn good? Ive got an old '02 Tacoma with 350k miles on it and the original transmission that I still drive around because the damn thing just keeps going.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

My mechanic was driving an Audi S4 with the same mileage and original clutch and turbos, so one example doesn't prove much...

How's your frame going?

[-] Alteon@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Entire thing got replaced for free about 8 years ago. Including full brake lines, rear suspension, and a few other things.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

There you go, that's a huge reliability issue and the only reason it's still road worthy is that there was a recall.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

At least toyota respects their customer enough to provide the recall. Many other makes would claim it was just regular wear and tear.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

You realise that recalls aren't done out of the goodness of the manufacturer's heart but are actually mandated by authorities?

[-] monsterpiece42@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

Tell that to Mitsubishi

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

In my experience, toyota is on the better end for frame rot compared to other makes. Hell jeeps practically left the factory with rotted frames.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

You've never heard of the frame recall, have you?

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago

how are they so good.

Western production "profit worship" systems are literally incompatible with making good products. Toyota has refused to cave to western pressure of creating plastic, planned-obsolescant quote unquote cars.

Toyota is very much a for-profit business, and even donated money to the Trump campaign in 2016 because of his promises of corporate tax cuts.

They are also pushing back on EVs to continue their hybrid line. They also lobby Australia to prevent emissions standards.

They have a reputation for reliability. But they still worship profits above all other factors
