Toyota "mistake" was putting the turbo boosted 4 cylinder in the Tacoma.
I say "mistake" because It might have been part of the plan to not have the engines last forever.
I still drive an 2008 4 cylinder 2.7 and except for some dings and rust , it runs fine. { only 110,000 miles }
Having a few long lasting vehicles is good PR, but having a fleet's worth does really hurts new vehicle sales.
Chrysler is down to producing only a handful of vehicles, Jeeps are filled with engine and electrical issues, Nissan is running out of working capital to stay a float, and without gov't support most EV companies will fold.
Soon we will be back to Henry Ford's options; you can request a vehicle in any color, but I only sell them in black.
