Recent Toyotas have not kept up (or have been caught from behind) by other makers.
People read Consumer Reports and think Toyota has some kind of magic...CR is just a conduit of label worship.
I will be happy to list TSB's for Toyota vehicles that should never occur in a well-designed and manufactured vehicle.
Care to see the list?
Sorry to hijack thread but......

I'm feeling like an outlaw today so I chose a '04 Tacoma with the V6. Thats the list of TSB's on it out of AllData.

My favorite.... :chuckle:

Have a 2004 GC Laredo 4.0L I6. Nothing to tow, plenty of power for me. 74K miles.  1 Water pump at 69-70K?  Some leak problems around the windshield, right side door.  The wiring into the drivers door is going bad, cracking & breaking.   Doesn't like to restart cold after a short idle-start, idle a few seconds shut it off to run back in the house for something.  The Power Steering pump will seep a little past the cap on long tough off pavement  climbs, like the 4k feet in 4 miles to my favorite camp spot.  New Castrol  every 3k never a leak. (there is some oily grime on the front of the oil pan when I do the changes??) K&N air filter 21-28mpg hwy-county road  50-55mph = 26-28mpg

Other than that it wants to go go &go :twocents:

If there is one thing that Consumer Reports does wrong with cars is there priority of reliability over anything else. It doesn't matter how ugly, boring, underpowered or uninspiring a car is, if its reliable, CR loves it.

That being said, Toyota did take a little dip in reliability about 5 years ago. At the same time, Ford got a lot better. But Toyota is still the most reliable car on the road (as hideously boring as most of them are to drive)

As far as light trucks and SUVs, I have to go Japanese. Nissan and Toyota make great rigs that last a really long time. American Companies do full size better than anyone, but their small trucks and suv's are hit or miss. At best.
