Starter motor Denso or OEM FORD

The key is to replace with an OEM Toyota or a Denso (the brand Toyota uses) and not an AutoZone special.

I put in a reman denso starter in my 06 Titan back in 2017. Still working great!

Have any of the starters been Denso brand? I thought I remember hearing that for certain models of Japanese cars the starter HAS to be Denso (the OEM manufacturer) or it wont spin fast enough consistently to start the engine.

If it’s like the ones over here in the US, it’ll fit but the cable connector is in a slightly different place. I have a Denso Accord starter on my car now.

The top one is OE Denso. The aftermarket new Chinesium on the bottom. But I’ve heard better things about new Chinesium than reman Mexican.

the denso I had before was sealed water tight.

I wouldn't recommend buying a noname brand though and rather go for remanufactured denso or whatever the original was.

It’s shitty material and if the nut holding your signal wire on is at all too tight or a little rusty seized that piece will snap right off.

It's just the shittiest plastic on the starter motor.

They're brittle, they do break
