Toyota has basically mailed it in in the light truck market.
They are settling for fourth place.
Fanboys will still buy them but unless you need a car that size or are tumescent over the styling (most buyers), there are much better options.
My F150 with twice the power and capability has 138k with none of the issues I had to fix on my TeRD.

Only 138K? I'm about to hit 400K in one of my TeRDs and have only fixed a ball joint and a couple cv axles that I put branches through. #1Fanboy here

Impressive to do that all on OE parts.
Toyota is known for flat leaf springs, frame failure from rust and generally cheap parts and engineering.
Just one ball joint and CVs….

I’m averaging 28mpg in my 3.0 duramax

Sweet trucks for sure, too bad diesel is more costly than gas these days

Yeah that’s true and it’s bs, but it gets literally double the mileage of what my last truck did (same truck but a 5.3 gas) so easy math, the extra $1 or so per gallon isn’t a concern
You will easily get that money back at resale.
I wish they put that motor in F150.

Yep plus the obvious brakes, shocks, and other routine maintenance.

Can't imagine the cost to keep an f-150 going to 400k miles, toyotas are far superior to any f150 ever made.

That’s why you see them in so many commercial fleets.
Perfect from the factory and never need repair plus that awesome capability.

Just missing the TRAXXAS decal! :chuckle:
Where are the orange fogs and snorkel for the Walmart parking lot?
You sure that's a real Toyota?
You better let Toyota Corporate know about the fact that flat leaf springs, frame rust and other basic quality and design issues don't require a recall, because that's what they did.
You Toyota fanboys are so much smarter than Toyota lawyers when it comes to their cars....

Really, who poses their car on a pullout to take pictures to post on the internet?

That's a special kind of fanboy worship...
