A good friend of mine works at the Alabama Toyota factory that manufactures the Tundra engines.

I'm gonna say I work at a toyota dealership and kiazen extends to the pre delivery inspections. At my dealership we found that some fenders on a bunch of rav 4 models were coming in and were not installed right at the factory. We actually got rewarded for properly pointing it out and reporting it by toyota itself.
My dealership couldn't even give me both correct keys for my new corolla. They gave one of my keys to some random person because they cant keep the keys for new cars organized when there are only 10 new cars on the lot. They lied to me about date the vehicle was incoming, they initially told me 3 weeks then after 3 weeks it was 2 more then it was "we have no way to know, maybe another month or two" . it took over 2 months. The insurance contractor that "they're not responsible for" even though she works in their building and was introduced by the salesperson, tried to commit insurance fraud by signing up to discounts that don't apply to me and raising my bill at the same time so she could get paid. I feel like this one is petty but I had to immediately clean and rewax a brand new car because they did such a terrible job you could glance at it and see the wax clumped up on it. it has been the hottest summer on record and If i didn't know better the paint would be messed up week 1 from cheap wax being baked onto the car American Toyota dealers are still just car dealers. love the corolla hatchback though.
@@zacharyreynolds4303 Honda and Subaru are excellent vehicles. "The big problem is that whenever these great Japanese auto manufacturers build their vehicles in a specific country, 30-50% of the content has to be from the country they are building it in. Quality goes down, in a big way. An example is Nissan building Sentras in Mexico, as does Chrysler/Jeep/Fiat which are just mass produced garbage in my opinion. Most Lexus vehicles are still built in Japan, except for a few models.
@@samlevi3821 My manager just got like a ~2021 SX v6 hybrid in pearl white. It's so, so nice. I think Toyota's are quite bland/boring/ugly but the current Camry is genuinely nice imho.
Can confirm, have driven the same Toyota for 8 years and am literally forgetting that cars can break down. It's not just the engines, it's every damn part, they don't chew tires, brakes, anything. Amazing products. Mechanical engineer.
Literally. I was at least expecting the infotainment to give me some issues with Bluetooth or something. I rent cars all the time and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had issues w/ Bluetooth connectivity and CarPlay.
My Toyota is 7 years old 72k miles and i the rear brake pads have only just gone below 2mm and need replacing. Insane how long they've lasted and the discs are just fine.
I go easy on brakes on all my vehicles and I bought a Camry hybrid last year. I fully expect to drive ten years without changing the brake pads with the regen braking.
Well there’s no money in selling a car to someone that they can drive for several decades with no issues. American cars are designed to fail after a few years so that you’ll say “fuck it” and just get another.
@@kylecialella6469 Toyota is known in many circles as the premier brand in longevity and reliability. It was literally the most valuable vehicle brand in the world until recently when Tesla beat it out. I can't show you just one Toyota that has lasted 20 years and is road-worthy, but I can show you millions. I have an 89 22RE 4WD Toyota pickup with the original engine and transmission with 400k on the clock and it has spent its whole life in Alaska. Not exactly the most forgiving environment for vehicles. In Afghanistan, we used Toyota Hilux and Landcruiser pickups that had been abused for years with a lot of miles. The cartel and insurgent forces around the world use them in the most austere environments you can imagine. So I'd say you're more than wrong man, you're flat-out ignorant.

I started working at a Toyota dealership about 2 weeks ago and all this is true. I have had so many customers come in and talk about how reliable there cars are and that they will only buy Toyotas. And as a sales man I have to be pretty informed about each car, and the amount of over engineering is astounding. One thing they didn't say in this video is how safety is the number one concern for Toyota. All those extra stuff that you would have to pay extra for in other brands come standard on every vehicle off the line.

My '91 Previa has been abused for 318k. Bog slow, ugly as sin, I regularly find pieces of it in the driveway and stick the important ones back on. It will last another 150k, easy. On the strength of those 17 years of ownership, I just bought, with full confidence, a 2006 4Runner at 210k.🙂😊 They are different from other cars. The two F150s I owned: you start watching at 90k for oil in the air cleaner housing. Oops, time for a new engine. My wife's Escape threw trannys every three years.🤨
As far as I know, Toyota's "just in time" strategy is more about how they work with little or no inventory of materials beyond what is necessary for immediate production.
Which contributes to this kaizen mentality. The just-in-time production method means that there's no incentive for Toyota plants to try and beat their deadlines or go ahead of schedule. They literally would run out of parts if they did that because of the just-in-time strategy. So instead, in the event that they're ahead of schedule, Toyota plant workers are incentivized use the extra time to figure out what could be improved about the car or the production methods rather than go ahead and get started on the next car.
On the flip side, that just in time ordering is also popular in construction. When you get a supply chain disruption though, it causes hellacious ripples apparently. We're still having a rough time with construction material.
I did a manufacturing engineering internship for the Toyota plant that assembles RAV4's for North America. There is no one "secret ingredient" at play, it's the cumulation of earnestly pursuing every tiny improvement they can find.
I really feel like it’s cuz Toyota is willing to play the long game whereas the American companies see the next paycheck. It’s why the pinto came out with what was basically a bomb in the back and they did nothing about it, figuring they could handle the lawsuits. Unfortunately playing the long game can also be bad, cuz the Lexus LFA took so long the rest of the world caught up, so by the time it came out it wasn’t as impressive.
The Japanese use a method where you fix mistakes instead of ignoring them. It’s a crazy thing lol. I guess Domestics just see something wrong and send it over to the next guy.

During the 2010 Merapi Eruption a guy used his 90s Toyota Kijang to save almost everyone living near Mt. Merapi and the car didn't broke down even with volcanic ashes and dust covering the whole car and engine, the only problem was the ashes was so thick he needed to wipe the windshield by himself.
Karen what a great story 从 m I just looked up the eruption, What a brave person my guess would be that the people of the area will, when the time comes, will think of getting a Toyota.
Interesting. I live in Indonesia, haven't heard this story yet. But I can vouch those Toyota Kijang are something else. Even a beat-up 1,8l pick-up version of it with minimal to no maintenance can still climb steep hills easily
@@cayniner Yeah, I still see those Toyota Kijang cars here in the Philippines. They're branded as the Toyota Tamaraw and the Toyota Revo, the latter of which was the newer name before Toyota ceased production with it
The several Toyotas I've owned have already struck me as being a step behind the competition from a performance/technology standpoint. But, I've rarely had an issue with any of them. They're super reliable and very well built.
My dad is a huge fan of Toyota and Honda for their reliability and I can't blame him. Their cars are really good and it's the reason why almost everyone in my country drives their cars.
My parents used to drive Honda/Ford and I used with Subaru as a daily driver during university time. Now I work at Toyota factory in Cambridge as newly hired last year and have learned a lot of things from there. I'm highly honoured with many friendly workers there to get along and even if I meet Akio Toyoda someday, I would be tearing to bow my head down to him respectfully for keeping generation Toyota/Lexus alive!
I work in the defense industry and we implemented Kaizen about 5 years ago. There have been so many process,quality, and safety improvements since we started using it. 99%of the time the best ideas come from the most inexperienced employees. Life changing!!
I am a wholesaler who deals in 8 to 12+ year old cars or so regularly. I have been in the automotive field for 20 years and started the business 5 years ago..... I see a LOT of cars and test a lot of cars. I dont think people realize how unbelievably reliable they are. There is so little that fails its increible. When you factor in their inexpensive price... its truly shocking. Nothing is on their tier in the passenger car department. Not even honda. They are in a class on their own with no one near them and are very underrated/undervalued for how long they last but I see prices starting to catch up. Their batteries and battery systems last longer than anyone else as well..I could see a future where toyota is the only mass passenger car manufacturer. I would HIGHLY recommend investing in Toyota.
I wouldnt say theyre unexpensive. Maybe if you are middle class but the working class need this kind of car the most and it can be pricey. People selling the car know how good it is so they will jack up the price and same for dealers.
Modern Ferrari cars are as reliable as any other high-performance car on the market. If they are driven regularly and properly maintained, they can stay in good condition for long. Maintenance, although expensive, does not extend beyond routine things like oil changes, brake replacements, etc.
@@joekerr4273 reliable as in, "will I actually be able to drive my car or will it spend more time in the shop than on the road" you are full of shit. but reliable as in "will it explode on the side of the road," pretty spot on tbh. Ferraris won't break down so much as burst into flames; blame their glue.
The reason I like Toyota is because I have experienced their reliablity since I was a teenager. Im almost 35 now. Seeing family members buying them brand new 15-20 years ago and they still own them. My uncle owns a 2004 Tundra. Bought new in late 2003 and now it has 500,000 miles. My grandparents own a 2000 Camry bought new in early '00. Now that car has 190,000 miles. Both both of those vehicles still run like new and never gave them any problems.
I work at the Kentucky Plant(TMMK). Love the video. You covered everything beautifully. Thank you for noticing our hard work! I always get excited when you guys cover Toyota in Wheel House, and Up to Speed. 😍
That's awesome! I sold Toyotas for yrs & some clients had a misconception saying they'd feel bad because they want to support American workers. I'd always bring up the work you do there in Kentucky & other US plants. Then they'd always ask "what about the Japanese quality?" I'd bring up the kaizen principle & other important Toyota philosophies which has continued to result in the legendary quality. I believe by now 70% of all Toyotas sold in the US are made in the US🇺🇲. You all do an amazing job & I probably owe you guys a portion of the sales I made, lol🤙
@@nthgth Dear Bryan, I do not have the faintest idea. It was in the 90's , someone who worked with me had that trouble. I also remember another guy with a Nissan Pathfinder having this problem.
I had an 85 Celica GT in 2001. Lives in LA where everyone thought it was a beater. It was a fun to drive, good on gas, cheap insurance, and super reliable for a broke 20 year old young man. Only had to replace the muffler, and the power steering had a slow leak.
It's worth it I got a 96 Corolla dx 5 speed it don't have a lot of horsepower but it has more tourqe than a civic of the same year for the lx or dx 5 speeds
Everytime I get in my Rav4 I have a sense of all the parts. I'm thinking this part was not slapped here. It was carefully studied and scrutinized before and after being put there. For this reason alone I treat this car with the respect it deserved. That respect is also part of the longetivity.😇
@UC8R8XPRAzbxTKkbbjzLjXVw one car, very limited run, cost twice/three times as much and was slower than top model Vettes, Vipers, GTRs and Porsches. Very beautiful sounding car but was a flop from a performance/marketing standpoint
My relative bought a Toyota corolla back in 70s when his career started booming. Fast forward to 2022, he has died and his son is still using his car as a daily driver. +750k milage.
I work at a Toyota Dealer and I heard many times in corporate training that we need to keep MPG way up and make hybrids more common on all our other vehicles in order to keep selling 4Runners, Tundra's, Taco's ect. Every truck dude who loves his V6 Taco should thank a Prius every time he sees one, that thing is the only reason you can have your truck.
See Toyota just does what every company used to do: build the car to last as long as possible. All other companies now build the car to break as often as possible, so they can rack up repair bills from the customer

I was blown away like couple years ago when Consumer Reports did their reliability studies and found that Toyota was number one. No surprise there. But what was interesting was that the second runner-up was very far away. There was more of a difference between number one and two than any other ranking.There was Toyota at the top and then everybody else far below. That much of a difference means they’re doing something different.

I had a 1996 Tacoma. Never had a single problem with it until it was recalled and the head gaskets were replaced. When the engine was re-assembled, the guy doing the work did not line up the harmonic balancer and the key on the crank. He just rattled the bolt tight with an impact gun. The harmonic balancer came loose and ruined the crank requiring the engine be replaced. The dealer refused to stand by their work. Toyota refused to fix it as it was the dealer's fault. You can make the best products in the world, but that means nothing when you have crooked dealers and incompetent employees.

I've owned 2006 and 2009 Corolla sedans, and the 2017 Corolla iM (Scion iM) hatchback. All 3 vehicles were supremely reliable. My only major expense on my 2006 Corolla was the suspension rebuild at 110,000 miles (typical for any car). The only thing I didn't like on both the 2009 and 2017 vehicles was the clumsy electric power steering, in which I was never 100% sure what the wheels were doing with the lack of on-center steering accuracy. Didn't have any of those steering issues with my Camry or Tacoma rental vehicles. I've also owned 2014, 2018 and now 2022 Kia Rio's and prefer their interior designs and technology while still being very reliable, but you still can't go wrong with a Toyota.
"Let's play it safe and just make minor 'watch and see' improvements, all the while testing a new design until we're sure it's reliable" VERSES "Let's make the most cutting-edge technology to make a quick buck." Unfortunately the current-gen Tacoma still had transmission issues when it was released but it was nothing major and had a simple fix.

Of course they cut corners too. It matters what "corners" they cut. No one will buy a $60K Toyota Camry. when you can get an Accord for $30K .The guys who cut most corners are the folks at Nissan..Hate to say it. They used to be as reliable or even more so than Toyota. not anymore.

My dealership couldn't even give me both correct keys for my new corolla. They gave one of my keys to some random person because they cant keep the keys for new cars organized when there are only 10 new cars on the lot.
They lied to me about date the vehicle was incoming, they initially told me 3 weeks then after 3 weeks it was 2 more then it was "we have no way to know, maybe another month or two" . it took over 2 months.
The insurance contractor that "they're not responsible for" even though she works in their building and was introduced by the salesperson, tried to commit insurance fraud by signing up to discounts that don't apply to me and raising my bill at the same time so she could get paid.

Can confirm, have driven the same Toyota for 8 years and am literally forgetting that cars can break down. It's not just the engines, it's every damn part, they don't chew tires, brakes, anything. Amazing products. Mechanical engineer.
Literally. I was at least expecting the infotainment to give me some issues with Bluetooth or something.
I rent cars all the time and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had issues w/ Bluetooth connectivity and CarPlay.
We have been using the same 1994 tamaraw FX until late last year. It ran good as a daily family car for over 20 years.
My Toyota is 7 years old 72k miles and i the rear brake pads have only just gone below 2mm and need replacing. Insane how long they've lasted and the discs are just fine.
Pretty hard for a car to kill itself when it makes 200hp
I go easy on brakes on all my vehicles and I bought a Camry hybrid last year. I fully expect to drive ten years without changing the brake pads with the regen braking.
It's not that Toyota over-engineers their cars, it's more like all the other manufacturers under-engineer their cars.
Well that's it. Toyota makes cars the way every manufacturer should. But that's not how society works is it
Well there’s no money in selling a car to someone that they can drive for several decades with no issues. American cars are designed to fail after a few years so that you’ll say “fuck it” and just get another.

As far as I know, Toyota's "just in time" strategy is more about how they work with little or no inventory of materials beyond what is necessary for immediate production.
Which contributes to this kaizen mentality. The just-in-time production method means that there's no incentive for Toyota plants to try and beat their deadlines or go ahead of schedule. They literally would run out of parts if they did that because of the just-in-time strategy. So instead, in the event that they're ahead of schedule, Toyota plant workers are incentivized use the extra time to figure out what could be improved about the car or the production methods rather than go ahead and get started on the next car.
On the flip side, that just in time ordering is also popular in construction. When you get a supply chain disruption though, it causes hellacious ripples apparently. We're still having a rough time with construction material.

I am a wholesaler who deals in 8 to 12+ year old cars or so regularly. I have been in the automotive field for 20 years and started the business 5 years ago..... I see a LOT of cars and test a lot of cars. I dont think people realize how unbelievably reliable they are. There is so little that fails its increible. When you factor in their inexpensive price... its truly shocking. Nothing is on their tier in the passenger car department. Not even honda. They are in a class on their own with no one near them and are very underrated/undervalued for how long they last but I see prices starting to catch up. Their batteries and battery systems last longer than anyone else as well..I could see a future where toyota is the only mass passenger car manufacturer. I would HIGHLY recommend investing in Toyota.
I wouldnt say theyre unexpensive. Maybe if you are middle class but the working class need this kind of car the most and it can be pricey. People selling the car know how good it is so they will jack up the price and same for dealers.

The Toyota Production System is such a manufacturing phenomenon that we not only dive deep into it during manufacturing engineering classes, but several companies literally adopt it almost word by word.
Toyota’s are THE definition of : “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”
If it ain't broke, make it better

Don’t!!!
I was blown away like couple years ago when Consumer Reports did their reliability studies and found that Toyota was number one. No surprise there. But what was interesting was that the second runner-up was very far away. There was more of a difference between number one and two than any other ranking.There was Toyota at the top and then everybody else far below. That much of a difference means they’re doing something different.
My Toyota Avalon is 14 years old and it has the 2GR-FE V6 engine. ZERO issues to this day.
I too drive 14 year old Camry. I have the SE trim model with a the 2.4L. Toyota's were really built to last. That's why Scotty Kilmer buys them because he hates working on his own cars.
How many miles? I have the updated model in my Tacoma and I have 110k on the clock
Years doesn’t mena any it’s about kms same age as my Subaru engine but engines don’t wear out over time they wear out from being used
My 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid is considerably more reliable than your average Ford Escape, that's only because Fords earlier hybrids were part Toyota!
@@drewlindsay3553 miles is bigger than kms. I'm close to 190,000 miles on my 06 Camry. I drove an 09 Prius up until 215,869 miles until it was totalled by a bad storm. I never did like the ride quality of it plus being one of the ugliest cars ever but it was stupid reliable for very long commutes. My 06 Camry SE rides very smooth to have tuned sport suspension. It has the roller bar under the hood. It reminds me of a couple of Lexuses I drove such as an 06 GS300 and 07 ES350.
Oh my toyota is so good though, I have a 88 toyota 4wd that has a 22re that has 571k on it and runs like it was bought brand new
I have a 08 taco and I don't think it will last 500,000 even tho I take care of it. they don't make them like it's no more

Best motor toyota ever made
@@anthonyfalante1940 yep, there's no say no to that
I had a 1996 Tacoma. Never had a single problem with it until it was recalled and the head gaskets were replaced. When the engine was re-assembled, the guy doing the work did not line up the harmonic balancer and the key on the crank. He just rattled the bolt tight with an impact gun. The harmonic balancer came loose and ruined the crank requiring the engine be replaced. The dealer refused to stand by their work. Toyota refused to fix it as it was the dealer's fault.
You can make the best products in the world, but that means nothing when you have crooked dealers and incompetent employees.
dealers are an issue on all brands why never go to dealership. I have 2003 camry xle v6 330k miles and I have a great mechanic that does any work I need, rest assured I do not know him well as we hardly see each other LOL
That's why you don't go to stealerships

I work for a systems integrator in the midwest, and was taught about toyota TPS as a philosophy for automation, and i have to admit I was NOT expecting donut media to both catch on to this and put out one of the better videos in production quality to explain the situation. Toyota TPS has inspired a ridiculous amount of other businesses production, manufacturing, and management processes. Yall look into your shit, dont ya.
I worked as a process engineer for the Federal Government, every single philosophy of TPS flies directly in the face of government bureaucracy. Its a shit show
I work for a manufacturing company Mercedes Benz and Toyota is the gold standard when it comes to manufacturing vehicles
Toyota: stopped production 2000 times, to fix every 2000 errors for a perfect production..
Ford: stopped production 2 times, because we will leave the 1,998 errors for the customer to fix.
That seems unbelievable, what are they stopping and fixing? The cars are exactly the same for years.. exactly the same!

The Celica is such an underrated car. They’re fun, bulletproof, and a great daily as well
7th gen time
The 1.8L 1ZZ-FE in the last gen T23 Celica is basically made of glass, I've owned and blown up a couple and I understand why lotus chose to use that engine in their elise models, it's the only engine they could find that's as fragile as their chassis.. And this is coming from someone who has basically unparalleled mechanical sympathy as well as being a huuuuge toyota fan
Not bulletproof. Ive seen them fail
@@Mort3nB your thinking of the 2zz-fe for the lotus thing. However the 1zz-fe has a very simple reason why they blow up, and thats because of rpm. They are stroked engines, and would actually be a 1.6 liter if it was a square design. They run a long time until your feed them the redline, then they tend to explode
@@kennedy796 never redlined mine but you never know about previous owners etc. My last one blew up and torpedoed a rod through the block at 3000rpm in 4th gear 😂
In high school I drove a 99 Camry until 250k miles and got it totaled, I was so convinced of it’s reliability I ended up buying another 99 Camry and to this day still driving it. 10 years of driving the “same” car. Easy to maintain, easy to repair, and easy to add upgrades.

I've owned 2006 and 2009 Corolla sedans, and the 2017 Corolla iM (Scion iM) hatchback. All 3 vehicles were supremely reliable. My only major expense on my 2006 Corolla was the suspension rebuild at 110,000 miles (typical for any car). The only thing I didn't like on both the 2009 and 2017 vehicles was the clumsy electric power steering, in which I was never 100% sure what the wheels were doing with the lack of on-center steering accuracy. Didn't have any of those steering issues with my Camry or Tacoma rental vehicles.
I've also owned 2014, 2018 and now 2022 Kia Rio's and prefer their interior designs and technology while still being very reliable, but you still can't go wrong with a Toyota.

No that belongs to the Nissan frontier.
American engineer- "if it ain't broke, engineer it until it is"
"Let's play it safe and just make minor 'watch and see' improvements, all the while testing a new design until we're sure it's reliable" VERSES "Let's make the most cutting-edge technology to make a quick buck." Unfortunately the current-gen Tacoma still had transmission issues when it was released but it was nothing major and had a simple fix.
Great work Nolan! I'm on my second Toyota and even my 95 with 200K+ miles ran like a champ. I sold it for a Durango...Which do you think is still on the road lol.
Bought a used 2008 Prius last summer with 177,500 miles on it. Just turned 200,000 last week. NO issues/problems every power window, cruise control, power locks, etc works! Paid $6,000 and feel like I got a deal.
Thanks Toyota!
I’m a development test driver at Toyota Research Institute and I absolutely love Toyota. I cannot believe the level of integrity they have and how every single thing is done with the customer in mind. They do not cut corners on anything at all that would compromise the experience or reliability and everything is done with honor and respect. I am proud to work with them. As an automotive enthusiast, that’s not something I thought I would ever say about Toyota.
We are working hard to make sure that we keep the promise of no more boring cars!
O
What is the reasoning for "sealed" transmissions? They' DO need to be serviced, despite what they say. And it just makes it more complex.
Does that pass through to the Lexus brand as well?
@@trip4osu Yes! I work with mostly Lexus products!
Of course they cut corners too. It matters what "corners" they cut. No one will buy a $60K Toyota Camry. when you can get an Accord for $30K .The guys who cut most corners are the folks at Nissan..Hate to say it. They used to be as reliable or even more so than Toyota. not anymore.

10:42 Oh, actually Toyota has been making houses since long time ago in Japan (especially when they have their own town in Japan, the Toyota City in Aichi). All of them are high quality, modular, factory made house with high precision and earthquake resistant design. They have lots of in-built futuristic features. Currently they are expanding their housing subsidiaries abroad in South East Asia. So it's not surprising to any Japanese or people who have bought Toyota house that Toyota will build another city. It's a Zaibatsu (conglomerate) after all. Toyota cars, Toyota housing, Toyota financing, Toyota Energy, Toyota Logistics and Toyota electronics (Toyota Tsusho). A Toyota Town 24/7, a Cyberpunk city.
have a 1999 v6 camry LE and it is truly industructable. 267k miles with my parents taking awful care of it and it still runs perfect. it now has a short ram air intake and a few new dents and scratches but it pushes on. Rock on little 3 liter
I worked at a radiator/cooler plant. They would get absolutely pissed if the line stopped for any amount of time.
I remember one time I stopped it because some of the radiators had the fins falling out. So I suggested that it should get rebuild. I got told that was not my job and push it to the next line got a warning not to stop the line or I would get written up.
I never stopped the line ever again. Despite there being obvious damage or defective issues.
These radiators/coolers went on gm and oshkosh products. Most of them however failed QC. Tons of money wasted.. heck there were literally rows and rows of defective rads/coolers.
