I have driven Toyotas since I paid for my own vehicles (32 years) because of their reliability. When this truck was 2 years old the coating on the mag wheels started peeling off. I drive this vehicle about 6,000 miles a year. The top of the engine has to come off to replace it - it is inside the engine! When my trusted mechanic told me that I thought he was joking! No joke. Now the power steering hoses hoses have to be replaced at 39,400 miles for a little over $700. So much for Toyota reliability and my loyalty.
