Mine have been incredibly expensive. I'm mixed on Toyota, for the amount spent on "routine maintenance" for my
Land cruiser, I could have bought a new 4.0L long block for my disco. Then you have the "Toyota Tax" (no depreciation) on top of that and the actual capital overlay over those 300k miles make it even more expensive. While a Chevy small block V8 is darn near equally as reliable, especially the 6.0 iron block.
I'm not sure if my next rig will be a Toyota. It's been an extremely expensive eye-opening experience.
And they are horrible to work on, the absolute worst to stick a wrench on, the soft steel, tight spaces, and their propensity to rust frames is a nightmare combination.
Toyota has many pros, but they do have cons and they aren't an infallible company.

Am I the only one (apparently there are about 6 of us) that thinks that Mercedes is the easy answer?
