Starter motor OEM Toyota or OEM FORD

Could be worse, could be that Toyota 5.7L V8 that puts the starter in the middle of the "V". Replacement means removing the inlet manifold. The good part is, it's a Toyota--you'll likely only need to do it once in half a million miles and maybe not even that.

My sister-in-law who was staying with us for a short period of time had problems with her Toyota pickup truck wouldn't start, I went out with a hammer laying down and hit the starter and it fired right up. She thought I was a magician.

Only issues I’ve had have been starter motor went, did water pump and timing belt when the pump went. Had the injector seal leak so got injectors done. Other than that it’s been a solid car.

I had an 09 Cam which was used as a delivery vehicle for the first few years of its life, and had to replace the starter... used a Toyota reman, no issues for the next 12 years and 130k km.

I was having the intermittent no start on my 2018 5.0 F150. I’m at roughly 42K miles. Swapped battery, still had the issue. Swapped starter, now starting and remote start back to normal. I feel like a starter should last more than 40K.

Bro I had to pull a starter off an old F-250 for a friend. Only way to get anything on the top bolt was with 3 and a half feet of extensions from behind the cab.

Those starters fucking suck they get so much corrosion around those terminals when you go to break the nut lose it'll snap the plastic right off its a shitty design

It is obviously made out pot metal, so yeah super cheap.

the starter actually failed at 35,000km

Every single ford focus ive replaced transmissions on, that stud breaks. Every. Single. Time.
