Where did the whole following of Toyota's never breaking

Japs took their shit seriously and their cars were actually somewhat reliable when following the maintenance schedule, compared to the utter, poorly-made unreliable garbage that the american "car" industry has been pumping out since forever.

>myth

your car has 500,000kms now.

my aw11 has 345,000kms as well

Could be just lucky

It isn't hard to make a reliable car, what you do is start with a powerful idea and roll back on things like compression, revolutions, and the like.
Toyota found a good way to bring torque out of 4 cylinders by not revving them up high.
Which meant you had a car that at minimum would move you, and at maximum last you a while because there isn't a lot of stress being put on the motor by revving up so high.

A few points

>overbuilt
Look at 80-90's HiLux, and you'll see that stuff like the springs, mounting points, axles, differential and more are very strongly built, way heavier & stronger than you'd ever really need for a pickup in that size
>low output
Same size engines as their competitors, but usually with a lower output. Less stress on the engine = more durable
>tried & tested technology
Toyota has a habit of being way slower to use new technology and inventions in their vehicles. They have a tendency to wait until the technologies are figured out to near perfection before putting them into their vehicles, meaning that they dont run into the same type of problems that the "pioneering" brands like Mercedes, Cadillac and Citroën do/did.
>quality
Lets not disguise the fact; Toyotas are not the cheapest car you can get, but you get a really good product for what you spend. Japan in general is very big on high quality products, and Toyota aint no exception. It should also be mentioned that since Toyota isn't the cheapest you won't find the new models being bought by the ones who are just looking for the cheapest new car

Toyotas are (were) generally very simple cars which meant less stuff to break, and also cancerous Toytotafags ignored how badly they rusted out in North America because ITS JUST COSMETIC.

>It's "the usual" rust

Bitch, there's no such thing as USUAL RUST, you didn't fucking take care of the car.

anecdotes are not evidence

it's also the quality of steel and the factory coatings used

Nineties Mazda trucks rusted to shit, Fords did for a while too. Bad steel and shit factory coats.

Unless they've fixed it, Toyotas do too, which is why even in places that rarely use road salt you see very few old Tacomas on the road.

Thank god i dont have to deal with Rust in Ca.
The frames coating is essentially gone but theres no rust anywhere on it.

Also back on topic this is my 3rd Toyota to make it past 215k.

It varies a lot between models too. I have a 2000 Camry with practically no rust aside from a couple spots where the paint chipped off my hood, but my dad's Tundra of the same year is rusted to shit on the frame and every other part on the underside of the truck.

thats right

>>16159940
Ran my 1998 4runner to 430,000 miles. Stock everything but cv axles in the front

>>16159912
it comes from them going forever without breaking down
t. - guy who has owned a tacoma for 9 years with 222k miles that has been more reliable and trouble free than the civic with 133k miles hes had for 2 months
