Have you driven the 700h yet? I feel you will be impressed by the jump in power/torque. Had an opportunity a couple of years ago to trade our 200 in on the 600, and it really didn't "wow" me enough to do so. Shortly after , I drove the Sequoia and left there with a few wows and a feeling that...

Wow, very interesting. Will follow to see how this turns out! Thank you!

Curious if anyone has removed their 3rd row seats on the 700h yet? And if so, was it fairly straight forward or complicated? We're slated for a 700 F-Sport (if the one we want ever shows up). There was an OT at the dealer today (available), and I peeked at the set up in the back. I'm a bit...

Same. I still have my 80, 20 years now. Never any HG issues. Hope I just didn't jinx myself.

Not looking to file anything formal over this, just giving a head's up to fellow cruiser owners, best we can do. I feel between just this forum and a mechanic's YouTube video, there's enough evidence to support there's an issue with headgaskets. Period. It's not pretty, i'm not happy about...

No clue, not sure if a joke or what.

Well, it's not 380, but it's a start. Digging through the many threads here for those us that have experienced blown 200 series headgaskets. Hopefully, they chime in on that database form that was just created in the other thread. :confused: Screen name/model year wildyoats 2013 surfingpl...

This thread is like the gift that keeps on giving. :p So long that we get to participate over and over, ha ha. :p It's buried a few pages back, but it's not just that side. My 200 blew a head gasket on the #8 just some weeks ago. 2013 with a mere 115k miles on it. Owned it for 10 years...

Well it's no 200 Series Land Cruiser now, is it? :p I also had a 200k mile RCSB Tundra myself with no HG issues. Maybe it's just our lucky Land Cruisers and LX570's.

Between the 17 threads on this 200 series head gasket issue, I feel nobody can say with complete confidence it is a coolant issue, especially when people like me with a mere 115k miles and a dealer receipt of my last coolant flush at 78K four years ago and light use followed all maintenance...

Totally understandable. But that data is there and if this tends to turn into something gigantic, could be obtained through the proper legal channels. Appreciate, and agree with that other than many of us experienced no overheating. I think it would be wise to add a regular coolant system...

I don't feel it would hurt. We may be on to something, or we may not. It's been interesting in just a few days how many similar stories have surfaced. Just an hour ago I was at a store here in Huntington Beach. Started talking to a guy also here on vacation that works at a Toyota dealer in...

Oh man, just when I thought I had the lowest mileage on this happening. So sorry. 😞

Current state. 😞 (but look how clean those heads are! We've been religious about maintenance! )
