I agree with you, but that wasn't the point of mentioning the designed engine life. We weren't saying "the engine will last this many miles because Toyota said so", that foolishness. We were pointing out that the 1FZ had design intent that included a long, rebuildable life - much longer than...
Total insanity. Kinda cool that our cruisers are appreciating in value but then when you think about wanting to keep it you realize that appreciation is bad because everything associated with that vehicle just became even more expensive.
Well yeah, hours make more sense than miles for industrial type engines since heavy equipment generally does not take a stroll down the interstate. Cummins obviously being big in more than just automotive circles. To your point though, that would be interesting if Toyota had a hour-based spec...
Ah, so 900k Km in total assuming 3 rebuilds. Thanks for chiming in, Oner. Man, you'd think that number would have stuck in the back of my brain a little better. Guess I should spend more time on MUD and working on my 80 :grinpimp:
Agree with most of that but pretty sure it's 600km's not 600k miles. Still ridiculous, but yeah...
Edit: and I was referring to the designed engine life, not saying a 1FZ COULDN'T go 600k...but that would be a specimen indeed.
I wasn't downing 4Runners. I had a 3rd gen and that vehicle would go places in 2wd that it should never have been. Love 4runners. But they're different and so accomplish different things. I'd love to have a 5th gen as a daily.
