THis thread should be a 100% sticky to let potential owners know the pitfall of the unreliable 200 platform.


We should all subcribe to the truth.

Head gasket problems, cam tower leaks, valve cover leaks, secondary injection pump problems, sticky diff lock actuators, radiator problems, timing chain tensionier issues, leaking windshields, 8 speed trans problems...on and on and on..and @Madtiger $2500 stereo problems.


So much problems with this platform

We should not hide them, as nobody likes alternative facts.

Shout out to the world. 200 is terrible, go buy a 250 and be king of the starbucks hill

Trying to reduce the second hand prices so you can buy another one?

I expect to have few if not none of these problems and if I do I know exactly what to do.

Thanks for mentioning me……my infotainment system failure would have costed $8-10k out of warranty, not $2500. But, hey, we can’t fault you too much due to your dementia and being agitated and all.

We miss your trolling.


So on a troll thread - your prescence is always welcome


I especially miss your post about F150 > 200 series few times a day.

My whole 200 series cost barely more than your 200 stereo. We are not ballers. AM radio for me, even that is sometimes. Can't afford the power draw

My man @ryanCA deems to be too poor to even pay attention.

fruits and nut?

 

[gasman4u]

@dudemancool1904 My vote is just a basket of nuts...to pay homage to his excellency, the greatest of Toyota fanboyz --- the CCN!

From one group of nuts to another nut, we present to you this basket of.....nuts!

 

[dudemancool1904]

Holy s***
CCN just released a “used cars to avoid video in 2025”
Of course at TC 10:49 he says he’s only seen HG failures on 07-13 URs and there was a part number change for 14. He hasn’t seen a single failure on 14-up.

Maybe I should send you the fruit basket

You could send @ryanCA the fruit/nut basket, he could have his fill, then he could send to CCN! There's a symmetry to this option.
