Change parts change  oil on time  any car can last almost for ever Toyota's even more so then most .

Never happen in NY. It would rot out from underneath you way before that.

Ya in NY that 2,008’s frame would have rusted out, but they would have replaced it under the 4 billion dollar settlement Toyota and the Gov.. the reached .

That's a lot of miles but I live near a dealership and they have a constant delivery of frames there is no way I would ever buy one

Yup, saw a stack of frames behind the building when I picked up my Tundra last summer. I think that's actually a good sign. I look at it this way; Jeep has probably the most well known and frequent history of frame failures. Yet, you'll never see a stack of frames on hand because Jeep wants you to junk them at that point.

An acquaintance recently needed serious frame repair on a 2009 Wrangler due to corrosion - mechanic said he might get a few more years before the frame totally fails, and he'll either have to replace the frame out of his pocket, sell it to a sucker, or junk/part it out. (BTW, I'm not a Jeep basher, I've had a few and would still like another).

Toyota will pop a new frame under your ride free of charge. You know, so you can get your million miles.

Where is Toyota dealer in Hyde Park?

Had my frame done.  They had 3 days.  They charged Toyota $11K for the frame replacement.  It cost me half a tank of gas in the RAV 4 that they loaned me.  Because they stood behind it, I will buy another Toyota.  That's good  business.

I'll bust 121,000 next week on mine.  2011 and I need new rubber for it now, that's all.

You have to wonder how much of that money we are actually paying for on all those frame replacements

Is it a conspiracy?  

189,000  miles so far.  Time for a new set of windshield wipers and a headlight bulb.

Similar story about a Silverado breaking 1.2 million miles a few years ago.  Regardless of brand, that’s lots of miles for sure.

Great testimonials that auto mfgers may have mixed reactions about. If every vehicle lasted 500K to 1M miles the consumers would be elated, but the entire auto industry would be bankrupted. Not exactly sure when this mfg philosophy started, but "built-in obsolescence" is evident in everything from vehicles to appliances & all things between. IE: When was last time you purchased an appliance with the anticipation it'd last 15 or so years?

I only hoped it would when I bought it, but my refrigerator/freezer in my kitchen has lasted me 30 years, and is still going strong.
