I found something that gives the 200's sales by year at:
Maybe 50,000 total units in US. (I did not add them up).....

So five grenaded engines (that I know about here). Pretty good realiabilty odds. I think I just might have to jump back in the briar patch....

Better odds than the new V35A V6

You are assuming

All owners are on this forum, and that all the grenades are reported on this thread. Neither are true, of course.

I'll clear some of this up... I have a 2014 Lx570 that lost a motor at 100k. Ate the bottom end, oil starvation somehow. I was faced with the same options you're looking at. I chose to buy a low mileage (roughly 60k) 2021 tundra 3ur from a reputable salvage outfit - vin matched and pictures of the wrecked truck for $3700. Pulled vehicle history report on the donor to verify info. I did all the work in my own shop. I'm actually right down the road from you in Greenville SC. I completed the swap and have about 3k miles on the 570 with no issues. There are some subtle differences but all the parts can come off your old motor. Off the top of my head, you need to use the LC throttle body, intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, upper oil pan (LC has oil level sender), exhaust manifolds (just have an extra stabilizer bracket), LC fuel rail (return hardline lands in different location I did use tundra injectors). Newer tundra has a heated plenum for the air pump under intake manifold. You can use either. I just looped the coolant lines and used the tundra one. LC is not heated in that year. No issues with that so far. Had I know of the option at time of the swap I would have done the Hewitt-Tech air injection delete at time of install. The donor motor had a busted front cover. I used the original LC front cover - wanted to reseal cam towers, valley plate and front cover and replace bank 1 timing tensioner anyway even though the donor wasn't leaking. Getting into the front cover gave me a good excuse to do all. Be happy to help you out with any questions along the way. It's not difficult, just lots of pieces. The time consuming part was figuring out all the differences and sourcing parts. Salvage yards and dealers wanting to validate vin compatibility is ridiculous. I get on auto trader and find a vin for XXXX year whatever make/model and give them one that matches the part I'm looking at. Keep a list of vins in my phone so i can get my LX parts at the Toyota dealer.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was getting sick of people telling me that a 3urfe wouldn't work in 3urfe applications.

To add to your numbers, there were 1.5M 2nd Gen Tundras sold in the US. About 75% or (1,125,000) of them had 5.7L engines. Start a survey on the Tundra forums!

That would be a good call....

Well today the Tundra really surprised us, and not in a great way. We were out of state on vacation and driving on the highway when I noticed a sudden...
