Toyota Truck Disassembled After 1 million miles

MaximusB · 05-10-2017, 10:32 PM

Remarkable how reliable a Toyota is.

A little background story, last year the owner of this Toyota Tundra reached a million miles with all original parts. Toyota bought the truck off the owner in exchange for a new truck. Now Toyota has fully disassembled the truck to examine how it made a million miles without any failure.

Simple because it's not a BMW.

It has to get to me first but it can't because it's broken down on the side of the road in need of a push

Only thing they gonna learn is how to make some parts cheaper, because they didn't see any wear this time around..

Truly amazing, the depth of Toyota to want to examine and learn from their own work.

I'm impressed.

Of course. They need to find out how they lost so much money on that guy.

Best part of the story.....

“We remeasured the head, the block, and cams in our lab,” said Connie Roberts, Toyota quality manager. “Nothing was abnormal. It wasn’t within specifications, but after a million miles it isn’t going to be. The biggest surprise to me was the bearings. They are probably the cleanest I’ve ever seen come out of an engine.”

Over the last 30 years my family has had pretty much every iteration of the Toyota pickup.

One year we had the displeasure of owning a Chevy Silverado. Never again. Ever.

Idk GMC HD line was impressive at the auto show in Chicago, very well braced and heavy duty components throughout. Toyota doesn't make a heavy duty truck

C1Boston · 05-12-2017, 09:43 AM

My old man still has his 1998 Land Cruiser. It has about 210k miles on it now and all the truck has ever needed is oil changes, tires and a respray here and there due to chips from the highway. He says the only he would get rid of it is if Toyota offers him a brand new one.

Oh yes they do. It's called the Land Cruiser. It's pretty much the most bulletproof SUV in history -- and has been right from the get-go in the mid-1950s.

And IMHO, its pickups don't need a 'Heavy Duty' designation because they all are. No, Toyota doesn't make a dualie, and no, Toyota doesn't make a rip-snortin' diesel stump puller. But they will take a beating as well as anything else on the planet.

I have a 2012 Tacoma with a 4.0L v6. If I wanted to, I could take it in to a dealer and have a supercharger strapped onto it. Adds 50HP. Doesn't affect the warranty one bit.

That's what you call an understressed engine. No it's not an S54. Probably the exact opposite!

Never_Enough · 05-12-2017, 06:23 PM

ALL original parts? C'mon

Only 50HP?

Zippster · 05-12-2017, 07:38 PM

the question is what kind of oil did he use? I bet synthetic.

Yeah, that can't be true. Maybe used OEM replacement parts, but zero chance they were all original.

Name another manufacturer that offers the option. You can't. Sure, Joe's Blowers LLC will strap something on your motor and give you mondo power, and your warranty will walk away as soon as they do.

Also I was a bit low. 304hp/334tq, up from 236/266.

This article should be about the owner taking very good care of his truck lol

Redd · 05-13-2017, 07:48 PM

Two words - rod bearings. 😂

domino_z · 05-13-2017, 07:51 PM

Jumped into a 500k km Camry hybrid taxi the other day and not a single creek or rattle

I had an FJ cruiser a while back which I modified. I had the interior apart and affixing trim is a master class in minimalism of screws and clips, yet nothing rattles - I have no idea how they do it
