Toyota's build quality isn't the same as what earned it its reputation in the 80s and 90s. Friend of mine had a current gen TRD Pro 4Runner and its lack of performance and costly maintenance caused the initial infatuation to fade pretty quickly, only lasted about three years. Another got the new Tundra when it came out and it was riddled with little issues and he had multiple warranty claims. It was also heavy and an absolute whore on gas with the turbo hybrid engine getting worse gas mileage than my 325ci V8 GMC. Brand new $100,000 truck and the speakers rattled and Toyota refused to fix them. He couldn't wait to get rid of it. So.... I wouldn't rush to buy one first year.

I'm curious to know what kind of costly maintenance your friend had with their 4Runner, mind sharing?
