     @jb @heytomjones wish Toyota made a diesel for the states. American manufacturers have a death grip on that market though. Plus emissions regulations guarantee the engine will live half as long. Vw tried to get around this but ended up paying for it

     your son is blessed. Toyota made some beasts for sure.
     
     professionally growing up around Hiluxes (or is it Hiluxi?) and other forms of technicals made me truly appreciate that Toyota engineering, and it's the main reason i ended up with an '08 Taco (6-speed manual, btw) after returning from one of my all-inclusive resort vacations in the 'Stan. i ended up putting 245k miles on it and had visions of going to 500k+...
     
     BUT.
     
     i stupidly - i mean fuggin dumbass move of mine - traded it in for a 2019 Tacoma because it was White and shiny and new. but it had that newer shittier engine they developed which is why i'm now driving said 2020 Tundra that my wife tells me is my last real truck until my next real truck.

     major, major facts. it's the reason i spent months looking for a very gently used 2020 Tundra. i hope i have one of the last bulletproof 5.8 V8s they made...

     My son has a 2001 purchased from a relative that took great care of it
     It’s about to hit 200,000 miles, it’s just good and broken in

     Toyota let the American division make too many decisions about the trucks
     So the once mighty V8 Tundra is now a V6 turbo being made in Mexico where the quality control issues are rampant regardless of brand
     Look at the result
     For the first time in 25 years I can honestly say I would not buy a new Tundra
     You guys that have the previous generations hold onto them for dear life
