Well, at least in Tennessee you don't need to worry about the frame rotting out from beneath it. Been a big issue in the northern US and Canada on both the Tacoma and Tundra. Toyota has been good about fixing them at least.


Did you know this wasn't Toyota's fault?

Yes. They have been good about fixing them. A new frame for a ~10 year old truck is quite nice IMO.


I am aware of the situation that arose between Toyota and Dana and Dana awarding Toyota compensation in the lawsuit. However I still believe that Toyota did not follow QC well enough, otherwise, they would have caught the issue. But yes, they are being quite good about it, and that is worthy of praise.

It was really old with a lot of miles on it.

So, like all those gaskets on 4Runner, or sludge in 3.0 V6?
Every manufacturer has issue, it is just noticeable that Toyota drivers consider yearly change of calipers on 4 Runner normal (in their world, anyone else must change their even more often), substandard brakes also normal etc.
Also, 505.01, 506 and 507 are not made for same application.

Yes, same like 504.00 replaced 502.00 but not in reality. 504.00/507.00 can be used in 505.01 applications, except that PD engines love heavy Euro oils (5W40), which 504.00/507.00 is not and cannot be.

But eddy said turbo issues were due to the owners not changing oil with the right oil. I did. It still broke.

There are no drivers that are paying less attention on the road then them.
Driving 65 in 75 limit in left lane, entering construction zone, 45mph limit, they still drive 65 in left lane.


BINGO!


This includes ALL non BRZ and WRX Subaru, MOST Volvo, and ALL Honda CRV drivers here. These also notoriously will cross all lanes of traffic in a brake right maneuver from the left lane so they don't miss their exit at the last second.

Yeah, however none of them can compere to Lexus drivers who enjoy driving 65 in 75 in left lane, holding on the wheel like for dear life while Sienna engine is ticking under the hood.

If you knew how to work a wrench, your "arm and a leg" repair costs would decrease by about 400%.

Arm and leg? OE brakes are cheaper then lexus, and the brake better. Oil is cheaper, it is done in my garage. Drives like 100 times better then that under covered Camry you have. However, I must agree on one thing. When I was helping friend with one Toyota (that had failed transmission) found out that Toyota/Lexus dealerships have the best pop corn. That is the fact!

It's a proper luxury ride. All the rest are tarted-up Toyotas.

You have point there.

And?

I'm not denying that Toyota had sludge issues. It was you who stated that VW turbos break due to owners using wrong oil. Toyota sludge problems are a separate issue, not sure why you are bringing that up.

To run this to a conclusion: are you saying that my turbo snapped due to just old age or a lark? That, despite proper oil usage, it failed due to defect?

Could be defect. Could be fuel. I had turbo failing on PD TDI due to fuel.
Could be manufacturing defect. Point is, all manufacturers have issues, however, many of issues on VW's and other are avoidable only if drivers paid just a bit more attention.

It's the case with most Euro cars.

On the BMWs I service, oil changes are $150 at the dealership. When I do it, the oil and filter costs $50 max.
