500k is nearly 35,000 gallons of fuel. At $5 a gallon now. . $165,000 . You might as well get a Tacoma four cylinder and rent a bigger truck once a year when you need it. Or even if you called a local freight service and had them haul what you need a to haul a couple days a year, you would be way ahead on money. . You can hire a local guy with a pickup and a trailer for a few hundred a day. Even if you spend $5000 a year on hauling service, you still come.out ahead. And don't forget, your main Tacoma would have hardly any hard wear if you did that. It would last just as long and cost 60 percent as much to buy . And much less insurance too. Tu dras are stupid.

I bought a new 2018 F-150 XLT 4x4 to commute from North Robertson County (we are about 1.5 miles from KY) to West Nashville (the windshield for my truck was actually manufactured where I work). I also kept my 2008 4x2 with the 5.4. The 08 has a 4.10 rear end with payload package and if i tried real hard I could get 13MPH. Been a great truck so far. My 2018 i think is rated 24 hwy and when I watch my driving I can get there. Hard to do with the tempting turbos but it is attainable. I originally searched for a car @$40k that fits me. I’m 6’3”, not narrow boned and I like to manspread as I drive. The F-150 was the only vehicle I could find that allowed that, even though the seat bottom was still too narrow. Great mileage, hope I can keep it running a long time. I’ve heard the ten speed likes the fluid changed every 30k instead of 60k and to drop the valve body every 60 as the check balls can easily warp from the heat.

That 2002 Camry has the U140E transmission. I have the same one in my RX300. That particular transmission should have been a recall. It typically failed around 50-75k miles. Usually out of warranty. The pins on the first planetary gears wear out and start to wobble, eventually grenading at least the first and second gear trains. The rest of the transmission will usually be okay. Mine did this at 185k (just after I bought it). My dad and I rebuilt it, and had the pins welded, as this is the best fix to eliminate future problems. It has been running great since then. Have over 5,000k on it so far. It does get bad gas mileage though, but I do drive in town primarily. About 12-13 mpg.

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Cost/Value concerned you may be right, as large dealers do so much volume they can afford bigger cuts. BUT, the after sales service is horrid. I have never heard a good story from dealerships post sale. But I'm sure there are some, just not any I have found nor in my experience. My parents keep going to big dealerships every few years and every few years they get screwed, they refuse to listen, but they are in there late 70's.

I have to agree about Akebono pads. They are the best and I have tried most. I have had better luck using slotted or slotted and drilled rotors on my vehicles. No more warping and they last.

My 2022 Lexus NX took ~10K miles to break-in before it got the rated MPG. Before: 27.8mpg After: 36.5mpg I first saw efficiency start to climb after 5k and has now settled nicely at 10k. I wouldn't be surprised if you friend starts getting better mileage in a couple months.

I’m driving an Armada at the moment with the big motor and getting 18-20 mpg. I took a new Tundra from Long Island to upstate, way upstate. It went the whole way with 1/4 tank left. I think I was getting 26-28 mpg… I’ve read the turbos have failed in as little as 5000 miles on these trucks

My 2001 Camry did that same noise when turning the sterring wheel. Ever since my brother gave me the car it made the noise and recently i got the tires aligned since i got the car from him and the steering wheel did not make the noise anymore. To be honest i miss the noise it made...

[@the45er]

My 2021 4wd Tundra with the V8 gets 16.5 mph if I drive 65-70 mph on the highway. Back that down to 60-65 and I routinely get 18-18.5. I’m never in a big hurry! 😂

How about 80 mph? Here in Texas where your cousin is governor the speed limit is 80 on highways.

[@davidzavala337]

I heard those Tundras MPGs are way off the EPA, but still better than the old ones. Now, I still like their interior better than all the rest of full size when comparing base models as I hate bench seats and this one has buckets. Also, I just love that v8 sound, sorry, I can't help it and I feel they will last longer. With today's prices, if I even manage to buy an SR5 4x4 I would likemto keep ot until it just won't run. Sorry, I can't afford to keep buying every time a mild refresh comes out.

[@terrymokihana1421]

4` cyl Camrys of this generation used oil at a good size rate .By 100k you were replacing the oil as much as the 4 qts . Toyota backed up this 4k piston rebuild ( leak cause) for a time.

[@Doc1855]

I change my oil every 4K miles with full synthetic. I also change the front and rear differential, transfer case and a transmission flush every 30K miles.

[@laarshegdish6016]

Thanks so much for these videos! I've always liked Toyotas, but wasn't aware of the ones to walk away from when shopping for one, until now. Not a real fan of the twin turbo V6's for the same reasons you give, but mainly that they fail from stress where a normally aspirated V8 won't.

I’ve been saying it from the beginning. A V8 will ALWAYS be more reliable in a full size truck than any V6. ESPECIALLY the 5.7 iforce. And I’ve only gotten a lot of flack for this from people that know nothing about cars.

[@sombra6153]

I had a 95 Crown Vic once and had a brake job performers are around 45-50k. Driving home from the shop, someone pulled out in front of me and I had to get on the brakes hard. Warped the rotors. I had similar experiences with company cars, especially ones on their second or third set of brakes. Since then, any time I’ve had a front brake job performed, I specified new rotors. Just prevented warping and more frequent trips to the brake shop.

[@steverylands4001]

I have heard Scotty trash the 2ZZGE engine before. I live in New Zealand and have a 2002 Toyota Celica with the 2ZZGE. 180,000 miles and it has never missed a beat. The 'lift' kicks in at 6000 rpm. I only kick it in when overtaking on the highway. I love it. Regular oil and fluid changes. Transmission service every 2 years. Just saying they don't all blow up.

Hey Scott, I love ya, but what is the break-in period of a 2022 Toyota Tundra with turbos? I thought new Toyota engines have to avoid sudden acceleration until the break-in period is over. The Tundra only had 500 plus miles. Was it too soon to do a sudden acceleration on that Engine? I thought Toyota engines require a 1,000 miles break in period before anyone can do a sudden acceleration. 🤔

Not to mention he says don’t buy a v6 Camry when he has a Lexus ES with the same engine and transmission lol

[@abola2121]

He did specify old model V6 Camrys with older t-fluid.

[@robertwilliams3983]

I can remember years ago the Pontiac trans am could corner so hard it would throw the oil to one side of the oil pan where the oil pump couldn't pick it up. Somebody came up with a swiveling oil pump to replace the stock pump. Then when you did hard cornering the oil pump would move with the oil.

[@brianmoon1058]

I'm enjoying the hell out of my Camry TRD. Gets 25-31 MPG. Scotty is reaching on this one

My 2006 toyota tundra double cag, that I bought new, has a rear window that rolls all the way down. I like that feature, especially in the summer after it has set out in the sun for a while.

[@townhall05446]

One reason the big Ford pickups with the 10 speed get better mileage is probably the all aluminum body which saves probably 700 lbs. My eco 3.5 2019 F150 gets about 17 around town and I've made road trips of hundreds of miles getting 24mpg, averaging 58mph INCLUDING traffic slowdowns and quick 'rest stops', actual driving speed was more like 65. I shot a picture of the trip computer so I'm not imagining it.

He is right about the oil issues with the 2zz. What he didn't mention about the 1zz is the precat falling apart and causing piston ring damage.

I have a 2003 Matrix XRS with the 2ZZ engine. Has 254,000 miles on it and never had trouble with the engine, but I take good care of it. Now the 6 speed trans gets a little funky sometimes, but usually works fine. One of the most fun cars I've ever owned.
