Since 2001 the K series, back before smartphones, when many people did not have Amazon Prime, when the world was slower, less expensive, when gasoline was selling for $0.99/gal USA, when there was so much hope for the future before terrorist flew hijacked airplanes on Sept 11 into the World Trade Center complex in NY
Exceptional Automotive Engines
25 years of hits, among automotive engine superstars 2JZ by Toyota a superlative inline 6-cylinder engine many tuners boosted to 700hp with little modification, or 1UZ Pre-94 Lexus LS400 V8 smoothest most refined naturally aspirated automotive engine ever made, so much so that it was adopted for use with some modification as an aircraft engine.
2nd Gen Prius to 1 million miles
Some 04-09 Prius II with 1NZ-FXE also hit 800,000+ miles ODO with basic maintenance. It pains many to wonder, if Toyota and Honda are able to make uber reliable engines, then why do they not apply this understand to all of their engines? What keeps the other automakers from copying Honda K series or those other dope Toyota engines?
Legacy Toyota Truck, "Hilux OG" Unbreakable
How about that Hilux truck on Top Gear, they dropped from a helicopter, flood, crashed, smashed, and it just kept going, known as classic Yoder's in America, these middle 90's basic Toyota pickup trucks were some of the longest lasting and most reliable trucks ever sold to regular people. Abroad, mostly outside of America, FJ25 Land Cruiser since 1958, some later model year diesel engine 4WD models are renowned around the world as the longest lasting most durable most reliable vehicle that exists.
Land Cruiser Best Selling Internationally
Why is the Land Cruiser not popular in America, and why does Toyota not sell any diesel models in America, when abroad that are the most reliable, most fuel efficient and longest lasting modes, like that Diesel Hilux Champ made and sold in Thailand, but unavailable in the USA because of a so called Chicken Tax, when in reality its because Toyota does not want the Hilux Champ sold in the USA because that would cannibalize sales of their higher margin Tacoma and Tundra models.
No Small Trucks Sold in USA
No automakers sell a small affordable truck in America, and its seems no other automakers sell a practical cheap affordable simple smaller truck in America, which makes zero sense given the housing crisis, poverty increasing, shrinking middle class, so many problems with the US economy that surly the Hilux Champ even if 25% more expensive than the same models sold in Thailand, would sell by the million in the USA
