Oil leak fixed - rear main seal failure @ 22k

[@JackofHaulTrades]

It's sad, but that's the truth...

Yea man, I feel like Toyota has an untapped market with a full size truck but who knows. I’m sure they have their reason’s for not building one.

[@allanrheaume5549]

It would be great if one of the big 3 focused entirely on quality control instead of just pumping out more power every year.

[@RollingWithRuss]

That’s a great idea and I wish they would. We don’t need more power anymore.

[@Fishonone]

If this was a '23 Toyota Tundra, it probably would have the engine replaced or will be replaced.

[@RollingWithRuss]

Good point, the quality really went down when they switched to the v-6s at Toyota. That old V8 was bulletproof.

[@JayClark-p9u]

I worked for Toyota, know techs and writers. Toyota used to be one of the best, have owned several myself. It’s not exactly Toyotas fault for the reliability issues. Covid supply chain problems dramatically reduced quality from their suppliers of an average of 6,000 parts on a car. There is a reason why there’s so many tundras and Tacomas are sitting. At this point people are holding off purchasing until issues are remedied. The Toyotas of new are not the Uber reliable of old. Just the way things are.

[@RollingWithRuss]

Thanks for the insight, Jay. That makes sense, and it’s a bummer things are not like they were still a few years after Covid.

Welcome to the USA. $100k new poor quality trucks.

[@RollingWithRuss]

Yea no kidding. This truck was $70k new, but they easily climb past $100k these days.

👍

[@RollingWithRuss]

Thx!

[@JayClark-p9u]

If was a Toyota it would blow up sooner. Lol.

Toyota is like the most reliable car company on the planet, what are you talking about

[@hellswindstaff91]

They were until they replaced their super reliable V8s with twin turbo V6s that have been failing bad. Rest of their vehicles with new engines time will tell how reliable those are​@@rtablesaw

[@RollingWithRuss]

I have heard the new Toyotas are not like they were either. I loved my first and second gen tundra’s though, those things were awesome just couldn’t really tow a fifth wheel.

[@joshfixall7938]

Correct new is bad old is good.

I hate American vehicles I had to change a door handle in a 2021 Jeep grand Cherokee I expected it to take 5 minutes like it does on every Japanese car on every German car only to find out I had to remove the entire inner door assembly because guess who decided it would be too hard to just put the bolt on the side of the door and a rubber cover like literally any other car designer

[@RollingWithRuss]

That’s super annoying….

Your vehicle is literally a Mercedes-Benz ML,
