Nope. You're not going to get 300,000 miles out of a 2.4 liter turbo like you typically can with the venerable 1GR-FE 4.0 V6 engine.
Correct.
I had a 1988 Toyota with the 2.4 Liter 4 cylinder engine. It may still be running somewhere in the world. Like Afghanistan.
Then I bought a 1999 V6 Tacoma extended cab. Its frame rusted out on both sides. I had them both repaired. I sold it back to Toyota in 2012 for Kelly Blue Book full retail x 1.5 = $14500 for a 13 year old truck.
I used that to buy the 2012 V6 double cab long bed Tacoma that just turned 115K. I was considering buying a new one until I heard they now are using a 2.4 4 cylinder turbo.
Frankly, the 2012 I am driving is the best of the three trucks I have owned. In fact it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. So, I think I will just keep it.
I have been looking to buy a Lexus IS 350(V6 305 HP) hard top convertible. They made them from 2010-2015. There are not a lot around. Especially with low mileage. There is one right now down in TX with 50k miles they are asking $24K. Really low miles (under 30K) still go for about $30K.

the recalled engines are twin turbo 3.4 litre v6... not 2.4 litre turbo 4 cylinders...
