I’m with you Scotty, I love Toyotas, my last Toyota was a 2.7 Ltr Toyota Land Cruiser Prado had it for 18 years, dragged a 2300kg caravan all over Australia, it never missed a beat. I’m a diy mechanic & do all my own servicing, over the 18 years, I spent about $1500 on a new clutch a set of ignition coils & I replaced the injectors. I now own a Toyota Rav 4 hybrid, if I get half the service out of it like I did with my prado I will be happy.

I've owned 30+ cars in my life including various Toyotas but my current vehicle is a 2014 Venza 6 cyl. AWD Ltd that I bought used 5 years ago. It is the best car I've ever owned as far as reliability and functionality. Besides regular maintenance all I've spent on it is a passenger side puddle light assembly for $80.00 Cdn. These cars are a hidden gem and I would buy another if Toyota still made it in this configuration. I'm evidently not alone in my opinion, as I see literally dozens of these models in my small town in Ontario, Canada. It is roomy, relatively quiet, powerful, and is relatively fuel efficient. Perfect...no, but not far from it!

I've had a 2013 Venza since 2014 and I love it. Same spec as this one- 4cyl, FWD. Thing is bulletproof and hasn't left me stranded. The only complaint I have is the steering column rattle issue. It's apparently harmless, but it is an annoying sound and from what I understand, expensive to fix. Other than that superficial thing, it's been a fantastic vehicle. I've put 100,000 miles on it and it's sitting at around 140,000. I imagine it'll go to 350,000.

How much you paid

One year ago, I got a 2013 Venza. It has high miles (just rolled over 200K) and had the transmission rebuilt six months ago. The 2.7L four cylinder has enough power unless you pull a trailer.

My tacoma has a 2.7L in it. It's a strong, super reliable engine💪

I can tell you that having a 4cyl for many years living in a snow cold weather state wasn't always the best experience. After going from a car into a midsized suv with a v6 and awd I would never ever go back. I handle any and all bad weather conditions with ease, and I drive through tons of bad snow storms this year and feel more comfortable and confident doing it. My honda was great. I loved my Accord, but having more power, more traction, and more capabilities with the suv is a very nice welcoming change.

I always loved the Venza, they remind me of a huge hatchback, but the one thing I didn't appreciate so much was the back passenger windows were slanted and pretty small, but that's not enough to stop me from buying one if it were in great shape and the price was 👍 good

Toyota venza in my opinion is the best car ever. There is nothing you can say About this car it is a good car I've owned 1 for 8 years and I will never get rid of it I will rebuild a chin Gand transmission when's the time comes it is a all around wonderful vehicle

One of the things I like about this Scotty Kilmer channel is how it shows how some people have had apparently less success with their lawn as I have had! My BIG problem with my lawn in Woodbridge (VA) is the lespedesa that comes up every year. This year for the first time, I put down Dimension pre-emergence weed control in early March, but it seems like some of these weeds are sprouting up. If it only reduces the amount of this weed, I will try this again next year with an earlier application.

I've had two.. Bought a 2010 new. Drove it 190 L miles. Never in the shop except scheduled maintenance.. Excellent car. Look new when I sold it. Found a 2015 with only 13K miles traded in on a Lexus Rx 350. Like new. Was a good buy. Still trouble free Venza so far at 33K. In hind sight I'm sure the 2010 still had at least another 100 k left of service. Love this era Venza. Only complaint is there is road noise. Thanks Scotty I akway enjoy your videos.

Scotty endorsing a Toyota? I never thought I’d see the day.

We bought a 2013 Venza V6 AWD new in 2012 and we still have it. Best car we ever owned. It only has 157,000 km (97,000 miles). We still love it and want to keep it for double that mileage.

I love Scotty's commentary.. Gives the facts with a good chuckle.

I have a 2011 V6 Venza with 104,000 miles on it. It had 17 miles when I drove it off the dealer's lot. It is an outstanding vehicle. The only thing I've ever had to do to it was replace the alternator at around 100,000. It is quiet and powerful. It's starting to show some wear on the driver's seat leather, but people who have never ridden in it think it's brand new. We also have a 2009 Camry V6 with also around 104,000 on it. Same engine and the alternator on it went out at around 95k. My wife has driven it since brand new and it's showing its age b/c she kept it parked outside in the hot sun until she retired. I drive a company vehicle every day and the Venza has mostly lived in the garage and is used for long range cruising which Scotty and other mechanics say is better. The Venza is awesome!

I have a 2011 v6, had it since 2019. Couldn't ask for a better car, nothing but minor repairs (knock on wood) oil changes, tires, breaks, and new alternator.

That's crazy, just bought one yesterday, 2013 but the LE V-6 version, yeah doesn't need the extra power but it's more fun to drive

I'm so out of breath trying to breathe for you Scotty! Great video, my boss has one of these and gave it to his kid, and it still goes and goes, I think it has close to 200,000 on it.

My Friend worked for ATI Steel in PA and he said they would roll coil sheets for Ford Chevy Toyota and some others can't remember exactly which one. Toyota was the only one, the only one, That it was Mandatory to coat both sides of the coil against rust and they used those coils to make their catalytic converters.

Took a road trip up to Toyama yesterday via Nagano and the Japanese alps. 800 + change kilometers, 7-8% road grades, narrow mountain roads with sharp blind curves. The farther I got from the Kanto plains and closer to farms and snow, the less SUVs I saw. Maybe 1 Land Cruiser, 1 Surf, quite a few Subaru’s. No Mercedes G-class, no Land Rovers, no Jeeps, no Tacomas, no idiots with giant lift kits and AT tires. No lines of people in spandex riding expensive road bikes down the road and very few 50cc scooters. Down to earth people using cars and trucks that help get work done and that function in the local elements. On the return leg, the reverse occurred. By the time I was cruising down the beach road near Kamakura it was SUV, SUV, SUV.

The V6 is the 2GR-FE that they put in everything during those years and they all will develop the dreaded front timing cover leak. $20 in gaskets and $3500 in labor to REMOVE the engine in order to do the repair. It’s an ‘engine-out’ job on the Sienna, RX, Venza, etc. The v6 is silky smooth but the 4-cyl might be the safer bet. It would be great if Scotty gave his thoughts on this.

I drove my Solara for 24yr 320,000kh. Sold it and bought a 2014 Venza 4cy and am soooo happy with my find. Tons of room for grandkids car seats, transporting large items or junk to the dump. It’s like the best of all worlds.

Finally got my hands on a 2013 v6 xle awd 55,200 miles and im in love ❤

I bought a 2016 4cilinder about 9 months ago and i couldn't be happier with it. I consider it my best purchase. The 0-60 is dreadful, but you don't get a hatchback/midsize SUV for the acceleration. The only thing I'm disappointed about is, how low it is compared to a midsize SUV, and it can be difficult putting kids in the seats.

Love how you can just point and know if it's a timing belt or chain! Doifus

You are the best. Great video.

I always say Toyotas are bad project cars, I mean it has to be trashed really bad and by then they are junk. I got 2 Camrys, BORING lol.

Right?! My friend took months for parts and cussed while rebuilding his sons BMW transmission! Sticking with our Camry and Mazda.

Thank you Scotty!

Camry Station Wagon. I love them. I need another Camry to the collection, 2003, 2009 V6, and I need something I can haul stuff with.

Thanks Mr K !🌞

I have a 2009 with the same motor.I’ll never sell it.Same as my 2013 fj cruiser.Two reliable beasts.Cheers

Scotty's 94 Celica also has the original loose nut behind the wheel.

Scotty is the best. The one thing I don't like about Toyota is they seem to have the worst paint jobs. I have never owned one and I don't have any statistical facts but it seems like so many times I see a newer looking car where the paint job has failed it is a Toyota. Maybe it's because they last forever and are actually old cars that are still on the road.

That’s the engine they should have put in the CHR. More than enough power, fuel efficient and reliable. Perfect concept for the over 50 demographic. I’m talking about the drivetrain not necessarily the Toyota CHR.

Love the Venza

Just got a new hybrid... love it.

In 2019 I bought my wife a 2013 Venza from a local bank that bought it new as a company car for the bank president. It had around 58,000 miles on it. It’s been a great car.
