My dad was a Toyota service manager for 30+ years so I grew up with them, owned dozens. Currently own a 2010 Tacoma TRD Sport and a 2021 Rav4 XLE. One thing you forgot to mention was the frame rust issue. My Taco had it's frame replaced just before I bought it. I would have never bought a 2nd gen had this not been done.

I would say the downside of Toyota is the price they are just too expensive compared to similar vehicles. I was looking to get one but I realized I could get a pathfinder for a fraction of a 4Runner. And before anyone says anything about reliability do your research. Nissan was very reliable before Renault bought them. With that being said I would love to get a 1st gen Sequoia and lift it 👍

I completely intended to get a VG33E or VQ40 Frontier, but with them being the same price as a V8 Tundra, I couldn't do it. The sequoia's are great rigs!

You should drive a stock or well built 80 series Landcruiser if you think Jeeps are a good example of what a solid front axle can do. There is no death wobble. It rides smoother than a new JLU. I honestly think Toyota switched to IFS to save money and simplify the design and engineering process. Toyota also has a habit of making their 4x4s more difficult to modify with each generation and solid axles don't lend to that.

@208Tyler

I’m not sure what you’re trying to argue. I didn’t have anything bad to say about solid axles in this video, though I did say IFS generally has a better ride. Every year, Toyota makes 4x4’s that sell and meets the predicted needs of their customers. Consumers don’t care about SA vs IFS, they care about ride quality, handling, etc, and IFS accomplishes that for Toyota and their customers. It’s not about making the vehicle “harder to modify”.

@Rhanier Santiago The 1FZ-FE really aint bad. Initially the 2UZ made the same hp and about 45 more lbft of torque. I think most of the bad rap the 80 gets is for the 3FE the first two years. You can also regear them by changing the transfer case gears with hand tools at home for less the half the cost of regearing axles.

For me it’s just the lack of hp and engine upgrades and weak axles that made me steer clear of Toyota. My 500hp ls is plenty reliable so far and my Chevy one ton axles haven’t let me down.

With great reliability, comes bad mpg.
