I will tell you from being in the car business for +/- 15 years that I don't see anything "regularly" with 300k miles on the clock.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
I will add 1 more piece to this puzzle...I worked at a Toyota dealership for a very short time.There was a lottttt less tow trucks coming to the Toyota dealership than there are coming to the Jeep dealership. I am Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Plymouth, etc. so more than just Jeeps getting towed in. The cars and minivans definitely outnumber the Jeeps on a daily basis so it's a little crooked to compare what I get.
As for theory? What the heck dude? That isn't theory it's design!

I ain't buying it, thats luck unless it's a OTR truck. And no way on earth I'd rely on any 300k mile+ vehicle to take me across country. Thats just me.
I would suggest the older (simpler!) Toyotas had a lot less to go wrong and much more basic technology.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......
Well, he drives a Toyota Tacoma so, he could legitimately have a beef or opinion about his experience with his truck I suppose
