[@hellosaysandrew]

2011 Toyota RAV4 Sport with 219K, still going! I change the oil and top it off in between because it'll burn oil for sure, but the only time it's ever left me stranded - is when I forgot to check the oil level like a doofus, low and behold - needed some oil! ;-) I'm determined to drive it until I can't anymore. The car I learned to drive on and my parents gave it to me, 9 years later and thus far, going strong. It does make a shuttering noise occasionally when you accelerate which I'm told is the torque converter and switching gears, but not something that's mechanically wrong. At least, that's what a mechanic told me, lol! If Scotty or anyone knows differently, feel free to share! I'm the opposite of mechanical, sadly. Thank God for this channel.

[@lynne2774]

Not many people can inform and entertain in the wonderful way Scotty does. Passing on the lifetime of experience with total honesty is so valuable. If only politicians listened to Scotty the economy would run better in the UK and the USA. The only other mechanic I know with the skill and knowledge of real old reliable vehicles was trained in the British army for a whole year full time before being considered a mechanic. He runs a Toyota Hilux from the late 80s. I wish Scotty trained mechanics so honest skillfull mechanics were easier to find.

[@jackJohn.]

Modern toyota are reliable compared to other car manufacturers. But new toyotas will have problems because of more and more technology and sensors in it. Electronic parts tend to fail before mechanical parts. The other reason be smaller engines in new vehicles over stressed with turbos. Simplicity is the key for longer life of an engine. Btw same goes for life 😅. If want a longer happy life keep it simple.

[@vickifarmer4409]

I have that exact Rav 4. Same color. 2011 and just rolled over 100,000 miles. No major problems with it. I love the dependability. ❤TOYOTA

I’ve got the 4 cylinder version of this RAV 4 and I LOVE it.

[@owen7412]

You can stop the rust by spraying your used motor oil on the underbody with a paint sprayer then drive down some dirt roads the dirt will stick to the oil and create a rust barrier. Learned that from the Canadians, no shop will do it though due to pollution have to do it yourself.

[@derekgardin1512]

That's too much work and hard to do unless you have a lift. It's 70 bucks to get oil sprayed.

[@derekgardin1512]

That's because it's a stupid idea. No drip stuff is best and you can do it every 2 years. I'd only do it 3 or 4 times because as you said the dust sticks to it and makes an oily layer protecting it.

[@toriless]

Just a dirt layer

[@gregoryforrest8970]

Rust Check I think still has outlets to have your auto sprayed it's about 150 to 200 Canadian funds approx per year I recommend doing this around October if you like in Canada USA clean it well under carriage during summer season to ensure all salt and dirt from wheel wells and steel frame if yours has that. Or you can just buy 4 to 6 cans of Rust check oil and spray it yourself.

[@ralwoe]

Never heard of anybody in Canada doing this. I don't spray any crap on the undercarriage and they last for years.

[@tonyelbows8045]

Oddly enough, the front seats on all three are the exact same size. The Rav4's I tried actually had more room than the Highlander and Sequoia, the latter of which my head was literally cranked at a 45 degree angle touching the ceiling. Japanese sized cars sold in America. Don't be only 5'10" or you're forced to buy some crappy Ford or beast size GMC or Chevy.

...the engine cover cuts also the noise, but mainly protects the hood from heat, take it off and after a while watch the paint peel off the hood 🤭

[@stolmich]

I'm the lucky owner of a RAV4 III, 2009 D-CAT, and it runs like a swiss Clockwork. And it has a built-in rear view camera which splits the rear view mirror in half. On the left side, you get the image of the backup camera, the right side is normal mirror. It's a real great car, but the transmission often rattles, when in 2000 RPM.

[@Trish-j2y]

I got a 2010 used RAV4 V6, 54k for 8k in 2021. Now has 89k. We just took a 10000 mile road trip. I love it!

[@tjtamisha7621]

Just putting winter tires on the front and not on the back is inviting disaster. Should always run same treads on all four. The rear does much more than just roll as you said Scotty. In winter if you need to brake rather quickly with non winter treads on the rear they are far more likely to slide you around sideways.

[@derekgardin1512]

I say this too every time he gives this horrible advice. Completely moronic thing to say. That rear end will slide out so quick when there's such a difference in grip from front to back. Terrible advice and he's said it half a dozen times at least.

[@lorcashine]

I have a 2011 Rav 4 (base) regular. Mine was made in Canada. I just got rats a couple months ago. I don't know if I have a "beauty cover"-- will try to figure that out.A timing chain makes so much sense. At 80,000 had to get a new alternator--nothing but routine maintenance other than that. I'm wanting a newer car w/better a/c and back up/side cameras, but thinking of keeping this one as a back up. Now I know I can let it sit ok, I'll definitely keep it. I'll use it when the new one breaks down, I have out-of-town visitors, and as a deterrent to home burglars when I'm not home. Best financial decision I ever made. Friends have gone through 3 cars in the time I've had this one.

Never had any trouble with my Toyotas . I’ve owned half dozen over the years . I’m 70 now still buying Toyota

[@MesfinG]

We love Scotty because he shows us about the cars normal people drive instead of the snobby cars few drive that almost every other yt car video is about.

[@phuqizm1547]

Best toyota ever made is the toyota yaris. 2007 yaris with 284k miles. Only thing i replaced was the alternator twice.

[@paulnandico2370]

We own a 2003 Toyota Sequoia. It has proven reliable. Did need frame work, and needs a repair to that, but we live in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Snowing and sleeting today, so I definitely welcome the option to engage the 4WD system. We bought this ridiculously cheap... $1500. Just bought a parts vehicle... for... ready? $200.😯 Rear end is out. May put a new one in if that is all that is wrong with it. No emissions inspection due to age. Sure hope this lasts 500k-1M miles.

2003 Tacoma here, and it is pulling a small Travel Trailer!

[@alibabaschultz352]

I have a 2015 Tacoma, and my wife has a 2003 Highlander. Both have 150k miles. I think we're doing well.

[@Chain987]

Keep it.

[@maryann3149]

My 2007 Toyota yaris hatchback went for 219000 before any issues. Best car I ever owned.

[@gumbygreen14]

I bought a 2020 rav 4 hybrid. Great on gas mileage, but when the 9volt battery in the back conked out (2 months after warranty expired) I realized that they just don’t make ‘em like they used to. I still have my 2000 Corolla

[@derrickjohnson5219]

Very very reliable inexpensive transportation.I like the 2008 the best on the RAV4.

[@davidwolfe7777]

I have a 2012 Rav4 with the V6 with a 126000 miles on it. It's like a pocket rocket.

[@mike-ii4jp]

The only time my salara engine ran rough was when mice ate the wires up going to the injectors

[@davidwayne9982]

09 through 2012 are THE BEST--- V-6 and real automatic and center diflock... BEST ones made!!! I'm going to buy one next spring.... if I'm still around.. that's what I WANT. They're roomy too- and snappy zippy little engines that run forever-- if that main high pressure oil line is changed!!! There is lots of stuff around to customize one with too , if a person wants them to be individualized!! :) Lots of fun to drive- NO computer Bull....it!!!! and SIMPLE..

[@lightshine6851]

I have a 2008 RAV4. Love it! It's a great car.

[@mikec3820]

toyota needs to make another affordable sporty car like the celica or passao. or mr2. i worked for a toyota years ago. those were all great cars back then fun to drive reliable and sporty. thats what mr toyota was all about. thanks scotty! im going to look at a 2005 subie legacy GT monday morning. its one owner no wrecks. got 56k miles. for 8900$. if its got no oil leaks or rust or other issues im going to jump on it asap. i have one for parts already so half way there lol. wish we had a tech like you here in NY state

[@susieinthecountry4434]

If I only had a garage, I would aim for 500k with my 2001 4 Runner! thanks for this vid, Scotty♥

[@crushthis123]

I have a v 6 Hyundai Veracruise and pull a tractor with a loader and backhoe behind me sometimes at 100. I get good gas milage and can still pass a line of cars. I also put a lot of hard miles on our 2005 Elantra and not once had it in for anything but oil changes and one recall. I drive these things at 100 mph on long trips and the exhaust glows red. I was going west where everyone drives 90 and with three grown adults and all our luggage and gear drove 110 plus. Just one more car that was cheap to buy and last forever.

[@glennz6686]

2008 RAV4 owner here. I will keep forever.

[@poorsap1598]

I'm pretty sure that highlander doesn't use those normal valve stem sensors but runs off of wheel speed sensor and is tied into the tire size. So if you put larger/smaller/flat tires that wheel will show variance from the other tires speed. I have an 06 and recently went through this when replacing my tires

[@njbooger76]

Love your videos so informative and entertaining! Looking for something solid all around but with 4x4 option to take on the beach or into the pines....any suggestions?

[@interminablyperplexed4903]

I have a 97' 4Runner since 2000 & a 2013 Sienna since 2016. Both are ridiculously durable in every way. 4 Runner has 305k and Sienna has 193k. Trust both to go anywhere anytime. Obviously, no payments so if something needs repair, I gladly cough it up. Kind of depressing knowing I can't count on anything probably newer than 2015...guess I'll be driving really old vehicles until I die...no regrets. Thanks, Toyota!

[@MjC-bf9fy]

I agree the older toys are better than the newer trailers

[@oldsparky14]

Gday Scottie , you cant be the Old Toyota and Honda quality , I own a 2015 made in USA toyota Kluger V6 since new, which I never plan on selling, its a great car . But the finish on my Mums 2004 Honda Crv is unbeatable ... It is so sad to see the demise of Honda in Australia , they only sell 5 models here now.

[@Utsu-P_Enjoyer]

Federal emissions regulations are destroying modern vehicles and making them not only extremely expensive but less reliable. Thats the real reason why we are losing the great V8s and V6s and getting stuck with little 4 cylinders with turbos

[@kclefthanded427]

Putting a tiny 4-cylinder turbo in a heavy vehicle never ends well

[@toriless]

@@kclefthanded427 "heavy vehicle" define heavy, most cars are 3000 to 4000 pounds, including a RAV4.

[@jackjensen4036]

I grew up in NJ, 6 miles from Manhattan and born in 1966. The smog from vehicles in the early 1970's was horrendous. Thank God for the catalytic converter! That alone cut back the smog by 70 percent!

[@4orrcountry]

​@@jackjensen4036 Hear, hear, Jack!

[@MummaBear]

Funny how every government has the same ridiculous emission restrictions.

[@4PMilk]

Love scottys image only type memes he inserts. His style is unique and real 👍

[@nicmainville9954]

You need to put snow tires on both front and rear, if you only put snow tires on the front you run the risk of losing traction to the rear going around a corner, especially if you happen to be braking around the corner.

[@sassylady2001]

Most of us who drive in the snow, know better than to go fast enough to skid the rear end around.

[@derekgardin1512]

Agreed 10000% I say this too every time he gives this terrible advice. I drove a car like that once (wasn't mine) and going around a curve on the highway it looped around. Luckily because of the weather I was only going 40mph and no one was around. I got out and looked and notice the crap all seasons on the back. Scotty has said this at least a half a dozen times AND ITS THE WORST ADVI E HES EVER GIVEN.

[@derekgardin1512]

​@@sassylady2001don't have to be going fast. With snows on the front you have so much more grip, the rear is lighter and has way less grip so it will loop around. It's stupid advice especially for a mechanic of 50 years. No tire shop will ever recommend you do that and will explain why. Go do it and see how you fare.

[@toriless]

NEVER brake on ANY corner under ANY condition, F humans are so DUMB.

[@chriss.7409]

That just what they want to tell you all tire shop will say that lol

[@elikent78]

Great video scotty. What about the best old Toyota pickups?

[@gregoryforrest8970]

12:24 I actually agree with you Scott like you I am old school and actually appreciate the non turbo aspirated engine I am not big on all the hoopla of electronics that well would just confuse me on how it all functions with a monitor screen. I like older vehicles because like you said they have less crap on them and are definitely easier to operate and repair mine has old school CD player I like this as I have a collection of 70s classic Rock I like to listen to on CDs plus my dash board in my opinion has a lot more style of appearance than a boring auto that looks like a Tesla too many auto makers are doing the Tesla copy cat design ugly. I appreciate older vehicles with style and class. Some of the really nice ones were actually made in the mid 60s to mid 70s american autos. Generally if I am looking for a good used vehicle I check Facebook marketplace or Craigslist, or Autotrader as i live in Canada. Seems lots of great deals there.
