I’m not talking about THIS year.

BTW, I just received my complete stainless steel brake lines because the old ones rusted out. And don’t get me started on the instrument cluster. The truck is a catastrophy.

You aughta check out the complaints on the internet. Sure, no vehicle is perfect, but these things are a CF.

BTW, It has 106K miles on it. My 2013 Scion FRS has 144k on it with no issues except for a water leak in a tail light. And my 2006 Scion XB has 197k on it with ZERO problems. Zero.

And even my 2001 Chrysler 300m went 196k miles before I traded it in with a single problem: The radio failed in the first year.

Etc. I’ve owned 31 cars in my life and this truck hearkens back to the days of all sorts of nickel and dime parts failing because the japanese had not forced the american manufacturers to up their game. I’ve come to expect cars to work for hundreds of thousands of miles except for normal wear and tear.

Brake lines rusting out (and it is a chronic problem in these vehicles) is not wear and tear. Dead instrument clusters is no wear and tear. Leaky exhaust gaskets is not wear and tear. Failed dashboard control knobs are not wear and tear.

They are bad design.

I have a 2001 Toyota Tundra with 260,000 miles. Everything still works.
