2017 Vios 1.3 E - 137k odo. napalitan na mga pang ilalim kagaya ng shocks at mga mounting saka yung head gasket
Ran it to 340,000 miles, it blew a head gasket.
I think the third gen is pretty worthless if it has a third gen motor given the head gasket issue.
Early models have head gasket... issues.
Just got my ‘05 4Runner with 200k miles on it back from the shop after a blown head gasket. Mechanic said it’s a common issue around that year’a model of 4Runner so may want to do some research on that since it’s at similar mileage.
Headgaskets blew in my 4Runner, 200 miles from home, one mile from an exit, during rush hour.
I did have one issue on my 2012 Sequoia, I had the dreaded leaking head gasket oil leak. Cost me a little over $2k to fix. Not common but man took me by surprise.
According to Toyota themselves It’s caused by inadequate caulking on the head gasket itself. There is a revised part number head gasket that has better longevity but in order to solve the problem entirely the engine would have to be redesigned.
I have a 2010 Prius that has been a daily driver and has 425000km on it. It ran perfect with only brakes and oil changes until 390000km when the head gasket went. Mechanic said the engine wasn't powerful enough to harm itself and after the replacement it's been running great.
