[@ceem9924]

The Venza v6 has slightly less hp and a different transmission than the rx350, I believe it's a 5 speed vs Lexus 6 speed but not sure. The Lexus is more refined, quieter and smoother. The interior is definitely lower quality than the Rx, my 2010 Rx still looks luxurious inside almost 15 years later. It's incredible. That being said, the Venza has a lower ride height and that's an issue with the Rx, it drives too tall and the suspension could be better tuned(probably due to Camry-based design). And the better mpg makes the Venza a better daily in my opinion, Rx for when you go to the movies 🍿😁

A hub cap serves a purpose of covering the hub but and helps prevent the lug nuts from rusting on so hard. The cheaper models that have hub caps many times will use the cheap lug nuts with it, and therefore the hub cap serves its practical purpose. But the flashy models have no hub caps but designer rims, but since they no hub caps it is required to use the more expensive lug nuts that have a cap on each and every lug. In other words if you want to have the practicality the hub cap provided for the car without the hub cap, then you need to find lug nuts with caps that fit the car hub and rim.

Yep. Nice that Scotty's onboard with plugin hybrids with ~50mile range. I think that's the sweet spot for cards now. Could be really cool and let you install varying amounts of battery. You go home, you charge up, you drive on electric. Getting a giant battery for the 3 times a year you take a long trip is just a waste. And the electric engine has a nice synergy with an ICE engine, reducing the ICE's needed operating range. It can all last forever. I've got a 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid. Wish I could expand the battery pack - cheaply.

I myself prefer a standard transmission in what I drive. I'd also have to say that the plug in hybrid does make the most sense when it comes to electrification. 50 to 80 miles worth the battery range so you can plug it in and do most of your normal commuting and the gasoline engine for when you need it. I really think that makes the most sense.

Damn, I'm old enough to remember when you would say "you don't need a big V8 unless........" but now we got scotty saying the same thing about the V6. 🤔

[@paulhoskins7852]

Toyota's 4-cylinder engines from 2010 and after make up to 170 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque, and they are cheaper to maintain than the V6 models.

[@hossahunter22]

F1 cars used to have V12s, V10s, and then V8s, now they have V6 turbo hybrids and set faster lap times than ever. Engines and power trains continue to get more efficient and in turn, smaller

What is the service history on a 14K Venza LE (Base Model) with 100K on it?

[@jessewynne8193]

I think they should just keep this regular hybrid system..why plug in?? They still need charging Why bother when a hybrid charges itself and gets just the same if not better then plug in

[@penguinjoe1961]

Had a 2010 Venza limited V6. Bought new in 2009 and kept it for 11 years then passed it on to my daughter who is still using it today. Was one of the best cars I've owned. Never regretted buying it for a second. Never let me down.

15:30 I forgot his name and his channel name, but there's a mechanic in the Buffalo area who did a YT video on a car's tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). He said that the replacement sensors are about $6 or so for all four tires. I don't remember if he said what the labor should cost.

Watching this in Glasgow Scotland Scotty. Everybody over here has a manual driving license. Most cars here all have manuals. PS enjoy the videos. Keep them coming

I was watching Tundras on marketplace and my pick of them had a small engine, manual transmission, and single cab. It was a bargain compared to the others

Ive Ubered in several Priuses with over 250,000 miles and one with a smidge over 300,000, all ran great and had the original battery.

[@1jackvalley580]

I agree that the Venza are not that inexpensive either. I love the body style, it reminds me of a beautiful large body "Hatchback". The only thing I didn't like that much are the windows are narrowed down on the sides at an angle, not giving as much of view, but still worth purchasing at a good price, very reliable

"Most people think they need more than they actually do." amen. Applies almost everywhere, especially with technology. On cars, I laughed out hard for over a minute straight when I saw the mini-van (2013 VW Sharan) my parents got as an upgrade for our ageing but mechanically good MPV (2007 VW Touran). It's huge (to European standards), has poor fuel efficiency and takes some getting used to to shift properly, but wow did they get a fancy trim level. I like it for it's different driving experience, nice contrast with our second car (2019 VW Up!, very basic trim) which I get to drive more. Maintenance is their problem, I'll watch how these German built new computerised VWs hold up and use that experience in my consideration of what to get for myself down the line.

[@rhondohslade]

I wish I'd been able to find a car like this Venza last summer when I was forced to buy another car after my 98 Accord went up in flames. The best I could find was 15 Nissan Altima S with a CVT that I'm not thrilled with. I much prefer the trans in the Venza. Good work, Scotty!

[@TREBLATALKS]

Those nissans won't even last 100,000 miles . Good luck

[@RRLV434]

Those are actually pretty reliable cars you really just need to take good care of the CVT

[@prioritytree]

My 2004 5 spd. Corolla was super fun to drive. I learned how to drive on a Ford 9-N tractor. And I use a clutch like a trucker. My clutch will last forever, anyways, that Corolla transmission went out at 180,000 miles. I always changed the fluids. It was clean. IDK, that main carrier bearing went out on the tranny. Other than that is was great.

[@Bill_BarneyJr.]

Absolutely true I only used the clutch for 1st and reverse. I put 300k and donated it to a senior living home and they are still driving it only needed to have struts and shocks replacement

I've owned several hybirds. When you change the tires, het the same tires, or your mileage will tank. My 2019 gets as high as 60 mpg on the open road.
