They aren’t as reliable as an AT, but I see other toyota vehicles for sale all the time with the CVT and most of them have a ridiculous amount of miles. A friend has a 2013 rolla with 220k.

    I like Scotty, he is very entertaining and seems like a decent guy. BUT his whole spiel is aimed at a very specific demographic. However some people, in fact millions of people, never own a vehicle for 20 years or rack up hundreds of thousands on the odometer. I never keep a vehicle that hits 100k + or is 5 years old. I regularly update and NEVER have any of the issues Scotty bangs on about all the time. Sure it cost money to buy cars and replace them, that is what a huge percentage of people do. It really takes the hassle out of owning cars. Of course for those who can't afford new and to regularly update then Scotty is your man.

    i've seen 328i that last as well as the corolla, yeah sure, maybe the dash looks like a christmas tree for stupid minor codes, but the engines ran solid, the suspension was still solid. the transmission was solid. everything else you need to drive your car after that is wear items and will regularly need replaced.. now on the e4x series, they did do a stupid move and ran a module resistor ground through the tail lights which causes many a diagnostic headache, but once that became known and passed around for those particular issues, put in a new bulb, and it was fixed 90% of the time. we had one customer who just came in for oil changes and brakes on his E46 3 series had over 300K miles. and the plastic bits where falling off the car, but the main body of the car was still mint.

    I've owned (6) Toyotas. (2) of them trucks. They're not perfect but they are very good and better than most. Only had (1) of those that I felt was sub-standard. ('80 Celica Supra). Scotty can't help but lean into his Toyota bias sometimes. The result of that (IMO) is that he's overly critical or wishy-washy about some other solid Japanese badges/marques. (Of which I've also owned (3)).

    Hi Scotty, some years of the 4Runners 3rd and 4th generation had serious issues with frame rust throughs. It got so bad that while Toyota never officially did a recall, they did authorize dealers to replace the rusted through frames. 4Runners have always been 100% manufactured in Japan.... No US frames were ever built. The Tacomas were another story. Most of the rust issues were of course in the central and Eastern part of the US and cause by corrosive elements used to control snow and ice. The problem was traced back to an inadequate coating that Toyota put on the frames. That and of course most of the claims were vehicles10+ years old. Toyota USA stopped the frame replacements around 2017 because it just didn't make sense to replace them on vehicles that were almost 20 years old. Even still today Toyota recommends aftermarket undercoating if you live in areas that have harsh winters. I live in Tampa FL and even I had my new 2023 4Runner undercoated and will repeat it every 2 or 3 years as long as I own the vehicle. I hope you and your wife are doing well :)

    @@thinker2328 I had them use a product called "Fluid Film". This product does not really dry and stays a little tacky and provides some "self healing" properties when it get stone nicks and chips. It is very messy to apply and I would recommend that you have a shop do it. It does have some down sides - if they get overspray on any part of your exhaust system it will stink until it burns off. You also want to make sure all your drain holes are open and unobstructed. This product is sprayed inside the frame rails as well. It is not permanent and depending on conditions it does need to be reapplied. Mine has been on for almost a year and a half and it still looks good. There is a KZread video where a guy tests several undercoating products in different conditions and makes recommendations. I couldn't find it though, perhaps you will have better luck.

Why would I want to sell it off?

It was very clean, no dents nor scratches and I love the V6 normally aspirated engine! It was made in the Lexus plant in Tahara, Aichi, Japan to pure perfection. I've been a Ford girl all my life but when Ford went woke, I got rid of my 2019 Edge and bought the 4Runner. With the body on frame, I will be adding rock sliders, got rid of the X-REAS and had Ironman 4x4 Pro Foam suspension with 3" lift added, new Raceline Bronze Ryno Simulated Beadlock wheels and KO2s. I have a new front bumper from AFN, laser cut and welded in Portugal that I still have to install. Overall, I am very happy with my 4Runner! Thanks for confirming that I made the right choice! 😁👍

    I totally agree with Scotty, I had a Pilot 06 and a simple v6 just works magic and I am glad that the 25 Pilot still uses a v6. So I hope Toyota keep the V6 in the 4Runner and in 2 years, I may pick a 4Runner instead of a Pilot!

    All cars are "money pits" especially after 7 years or so. The trick is preventative maintenance and keeping it well so the costs are spread out and expected. If you don't maintain it things fail and all of a sudden you are up for big expenses.

    You're referencing a generalized statement mostly true on 20+ year old cars. This particular 2004 4Runner however is an outlier. Especially since it is low mileage and well maintained. Why do have to explain all this to you? Can't you figure that out yourself. You really think every observation Scotty makes is absolutely true or absolutely false and there are never any exceptions? He just showed you an exception in the this video you watched. Hello in there......What color is the sky in your world?
