The eCVT is probably the best transmission in terms of reliability that exist right now.
Reviews of OEM Toyota parts For Business
Japan
the 1.8 + eCVT is indestructable, there’s Auris with 5-600K doing Uber and Bolt with no issues.
Still on the factory brake pads too.
For all my Toyotas, I just buy the OEM Toyota filters bc they’ve got them at basically any Walmart, don’t even have to go to the dealership for them. I’ve opened those up too and they’re way better quality.
Toyota does this on everything they make and the refills are only $7 each, plus those stock wipers are the best I’ve used.
I bought OEM Toyota wipers so I can just replace the inserts now. Most surprising thing is the OEM wipers absolutely beat any aftermarket I’ve tried, and I’ve tried them all. I think it’s just got better pressure across the windshield.
Use the Toyota OEM iridium tip plugs. They are amazing!
Mods: None, staying showroom stock. TCL Buyers Guide Negatives / future ownership issues: A) Valley Plate coolant leak: Look for pink crystals (dried coolant) underside of engine near where transmission meets up w engine. Also check upper radiator hose where it connects to radiator. Workaround: 50k/5 year coolant maintenance.
Toyota windshields are like glass. I’ve had 3 chips/cracks in 2 years. All my other cars haven’t had any in 5 years.
My 2022 Tacoma is on its second windshield and I currently have a huge crack in it and a separate one forming from rocks on the roads flying up.
