Replacement Vacuum Hose...... OEM or aftermarket?

[Wayne]

Is there any reason for using OEM vacuum hose when replacement is needed....... will NAPA, AutoZone, Advanced, etc., hose work and last as well?

I would say that as long as it isnt a form shaped hose then go for whatever is local.

The small OEM vacuum hose is 3.5mm ID. This can be problematical to locate at most auto parts jobbers. The stuff they have is either too big or too small.

Toyota services it in a .67 or 1 meter section that is cut-to-fit. I suggest using the shorter of the two unless you need a single piece longer than about 25 inches. The 1 meter section is 4 times as much money as the shorter one.
