My nephew got an off-roader - and doesn’t have much experience in taking it off pavement, so we had a family outing this week to give him some experience - even if it was minor. Lots of smiles all around and got a family photo of the two of them together.
I have had this 200 for a little over two months and already put 7k miles on it. Really loving it.

is your GX now getting a new engine with yesterday’s announcement?
Manufacturing process was changed in February of 2023, so engines produced after that ‘should’ not have any issues.
Black Bear Pass and Imogene are in good shape!

The GX is involved too? I thought it was the Tundra and LX only???

I'm curious the resale price difference between those that are in the window for engine replacements versus those after the window. I imagine it will take 5 years for Toyota to replace all these engines for free.
Given its the same motor, I thought it should be, with so much problems in the TUndra/LX. But poster above said GX is exempt..
Be interesting to see the resale hit on these vehicles
My dealer monkey can barely change oil - we are relying on them to do full engine swaps?
My brand new $45,000 tacoma had engine harness damage. Toyota covered under warranty $15,000 damage. Sadly the dealer monkeys can't even fix it.
Since its been "fixed," it intermittently starts, left me stranded twice, electrical gremlins...
And we are not talking middle of nowhere... we are talking very high volume (world scale) Toyota dealer monkeys

Geez that sucks about the taco.
I would be fuming if my truck was in the recall window. I get it, things happen and all and no car company is perfect, but this isn’t good at all. I wouldn’t except a “new” engine (guaranteed, warranty or promise) in a 100k plus new vehicle. I am super anal and this would kill me every time I drove it. If there is no other option, as soon as I got it back I’d be looking to trade it in and or fight for a new one.
I really hope it works out well for everyone

I am sure many people will dump their tundra/lx after motor replacement for the exact reasons you mentioned
If they come with nice discounts could be an interesting proposition
And buyers will swoop in to pick them up after the previous owner takes it on the chin with that new car depreciation.
Jinx lol
We buy new and keep for a long time and do most our own maintenance.
However, if the price is right and the warranty can go deep we would look at one of those LX’s for my wife to daily.
Do you have any more info on the "Superpro upper spring preload spacer/bushing thing." Why did you install it? Did it make any driveability difference? Where did you get it? Thanks!
People who know motors have been replaced, or people who don't know and don't care?
Most probably wouldn’t even be aware of it and buy on price.
Others know about it and buy on price.
It comes down to Toyota standing behind their product or selling a turd and they have the reputation of selling reliable, typically boring, vehicles. As a buyer I’d buy the Toyota with the Toyota replaced engine way before I’d even consider doing the same with a different manufacturer.
