The Toyota should take all the credits if the mechanic just needed some jumper cables and a plunger to revive the Toyota. They should've restored the Toyota to its former glory and give it a nice spot in a car museum.

Saw this 11 years ago and promptly bought a Toyota. When the clutch wrong after 8 years they changed it without charging anything, though the warranty was well passed its date.. They said that Toyota clutches don't go wrong and if this one did it was faulty from the outset. I'm still going strong and fast, laughing at the Hyundais where absolutely everything goes wrong as soon as the warranty finishes.

That's some pride in their engineering, to say something like that! Unfortunately, they can be knackered though. A few years of burnouts, driving through the ocean, and offroading in a family car, the things can start to see issues. Chances are pretty high that you've already replaced significant parts of the engine before that happens though ;)

Lots of big dents and a cracked passenger window, plus the stress of it sitting and rotting. I brought a 2.5 gallon can of gas and some jumper cables. Took three key turns, then I drove it home. Put new tires on it, a blanket for the seats, an oil change, new wiper blades, and some Seafoam for the crankcase and gas tank. Ran for another ten years, til i donated it to a trade school shop.

Last year we ended up with a nice little low kms Hyundai SUV, so the carport was needed for the new vehicle & the ute relegated to the road in front of the house. I had the old battery for the Hilux on charge overnight, strapped it in, it took 2 turns of the key to start it from it's long slumber, so as hard as it was for me to watch the deliberate destruction, I did feel the pride only a Hilux owner could feel. I may even keep it to get buried in, as if the Egyptians are right & you can take your stuff with you, buggered if I'm walking in the after life, it also worked for Monty Python, didn't it.

[@tohounderkanter]

We bought a Toyota Land Cruiser LJ72 1994 14 years ago. My sister crashed it at 60km/h 12 years ago. We repaired the frame and the front. I started using it as my conmute vehicle doing 60km a day for two years. While doing an engine repair (burnt engine cover) we realized the crankshaft was broken in half. The only explanation was that the crash from 12 years ago had damaged it. That motor made more than 150.000 km with a broken crankshaft, when we bought it it already had 350.000km. The resilience of these trucks is amazing.

[@jameshenthorn238]

Try doing what they did to any modern American truck. It might make it out of the sea water if you’re lucky but the fire will kill anything if you let it burn for more than a couple minutes. Come to think of it, I’m not sure how long they burnt it for.

"Let's make a vehicle that's so strong, so durable, that when a customer buys one, they'll never need to buy another car from us for as long as they live." That's true pride in your work. Not much of that going around in business nowdays, with "planned obsolescence" *spit*

[@MrWalker1000]

well the idea is that planned obsolescence is good for profit and business. So how did toyota make so much money when people only ever needed to buy once from them?

[@Zanockthael]

@@MrWalker1000 Well, theres nearly 7 billion of us humans kicking about the world now. If 10% of us choose to buy exactly one Toyota in our lives because we know that'll last us for 30 years, they'd be the most profitable car company in the world. Also, if you buy a pick up truck from them that lasts for 30 years, who do you buy from when you need a 4 door saloon?

[@MrWalker1000]

@@Zanockthael thats interesting. How come western companies are so against making things that last. Us companies employ planned obsolecense cuz it makes them money. It's interesting how Japanese became rich doing the exact opposite

[@Zanockthael]

@@MrWalker1000 it's probably cultural. Planned obsolescence probably is more profitable that long lasting over certain timeframes but from what I gather about Japanese people, knowingly selling substandard products would probably be a lose of face. And that's pure speculation, incidentally. :)

[@MrWalker1000]

@@Zanockthael yeah mercedes used to make vehicles that lasted a million miles I guess they figured they could make more from rich people who lease the cars cuz they don't last long. They used be to bullet proof like Toyota some poor nations use Mercedes like in Albania. Im just surprised the Japanese made vast money doing the exact opposite of others by making things last. I guess if you're a newcomer making things last is better becuase it builds reputation. Though I'm guessing once you become popular you no longer need to make things that last

[@MemphisApplegate]

I had a 1985 Toyota pickup, which I bought new and then drove it until 2008 (23 years). It was the most reliable vehicle I ever owned, and I only traded it in because I wanted a full-sized pickup. However, it was an emotional event as I caught a final glimpse of my old truck in the rearview mirror of my new Dodge Ram. I freely admit that it is ridiculous and silly to become attached to a machine, but that day I felt I was abandoning a loyal friend.

[@White03T4RV82WD]

dodge ram? yuck!

[@MemphisApplegate]

White03T4RV82WD I got it used, and the dealer wasn't proud of it, so he sold it "as is," and at a fire-sale price. It was over-heating, and I think the dealer thought it had a blown head gasket. Turns out it was just a bad radiator, which I had replaced. I really wanted an F-150, or 1500, but they wanted double the price for the same age pickup, with the same features. So for the price of a radiator, I got a bargain.

[@White03T4RV82WD]

***** yeah and you'll be needing another truck for that bargin. I'd rather buy a higher mileage Tundra and it last for decades then to buy a dodge and it last a year or two then need another one. I bought my 2003 4Runner with the 2UZ-FE that refuses to die with 55k in October 2011 and it now has 108K and all I've done is breaks, tires and an alignment, as well as oil changes. Still running just fine and will until it is either totaled or burned to death. I know someone with almost the same truck as mine and it has over 500k

[@MemphisApplegate]

White03T4RV82WD I must have gotten one of the good Rams, as this thing is 10 years old, 108000 miles, and it is in perfect shape (inside and out). Those Tundra's are nice, however.

My first Toyota truck was a 2005 Tacoma....ZERO issues until I traded it in for a 2014 Tundra in 2015. My Dad has a 1993 Tundra that's ONLY had normal maintenance and the only thing wrong with it is the passenger side electric door lock doesn't work.

We had the same trucks in Kenya, nothing stopped them and I mean nothing.

A week ago someone drove a Hilux off the road near where I live, it rolled 10m down hill over rocks, boulders, and landing into a river at the bottom. The recovery guys used a crane to pull it out, but once up on the road, they drove it onto the back of a recovery truck. Brilliant! (Driver had a few bruises, but no injuries) I drive a Hilux myself, love the thing!

GM specializes in manipulating their advertising to tell the tale they want. That steel bed was one, as it was revealed that they had to go out of their way to puncture the Ford's aluminum bed. Now of course, GM is going with aluminum, too. Their advertisement back with the S10, saying it had 'The most powerful V6 engine of it's class was true enough, but the Jeep straight six in the competing Cherokee was about 25% more powerful. But GM's ad was still true, because the jeep didn't have a 'V6', it had a 'straight 6'. As you go back through the years, they had a lot of that kind of tricky wording to fool the consumer. Then there was the S10's race with not Ford's mid size truck, but their full size Bronco. They then claimed that since they beat the bigger truck, just imagine how well they would do against the smaller one! (they would lose, according to performance specs). They also carefully didn't bother to tell us that the S10 was also faster than their own full size truck. But deceptive advertising, once again, because they tailored the data to fit their narrative, fooling their customers once again. Other manufacturers would usually only point out the positive things about their vehicles, leaving out the areas where other competitors products might be better, but GM intentionally went the extra mile to deceive their customers into buying an inferior product far more often.

[@Attachments.]

D.E.B. B im sure an 86 custom deluxe would still survive shit like this. My buddy has one and its still fully functional and not making bad noises such as knocks or ticks. I dont care what you think, old chevys are actually reliable and built right. And the jeep vs s10 doesnt mean anything the s10 was a small pickup truck and the jeep was practically an suv. 2 different vehicle styles/uses. And the like you pointed out the jeep had an inline where as the chevy had a v6, they werent comparing every simgle 6 cylinder format they were just specifying they had the most powerful v6 pickup.
