My 4Runner was amazing for quite a while, I still have it, but it’s in a plane hanger at families farm. it’s entire brake system need fixing. I had a habit, of going hey, kids look at that mud!!! Lotsa fields here before they built it all into McMansions. No more mud pits with the kids, plus.now all they do is whine aboutYou probably never owned a Toyota, best vehicle ever sold to the public. Reliable and built to last, somewhat easy to work on for the most part. Expensive from the start, but will spend way less time in the shop vs pretty much every other manufacturer. Which is a fair trade in my opinion, spend a few grand more on the lot, and almost guarantee you won’t be back at the dealer replacing shit that shouldn’t break all the time like anything made by dodge/chrysler Mitsubishi and Mercedes. The biggest pieces of shit on the road. Besides Volkswagen and Audi. But you are right about car manufacturers trying to limit repair to themselves, there was a big lawsuit against them a few years back about right to repair, having mostly to do with the on board diagnostic systems that required specialized equipment to do diagnostic work, manufactures weren’t releasing data necessary to build aftermarket parts or use scan tools to read and repair engine lights. Anywhere where designed obsolescence is legal and practiced products will be designed to fail eventually requiring replacement. Legal here in the United States. That’s why half of your household electronics and appliances shit the bed after a few years of light use.
Shit, feed me! Buy me shit! And no pops, no muddin …..it’s like I did t raise them.
