When the topic of reliability comes up, its doesn't take long until the name Toyota is mentioned. Whether its million mile Tundras, indestructible Supras, your grandpas Corolla that just wont die even though the oil hasn't been changed in 5 years. many manufacturers make a reliable car here and there or maybe and era of reliable cars, but few OEMs make as many tried and true cars as Toyota. So what's their secret? in this video Nolan explains exactly what Toyota has done to make reliable car after reliable car. We take an in depth look at the concepts of Jidoka, Kaizen, and JIT. Don't know what that means? then you've got a video to watch!

Boeing: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that"
Not exactly

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.
How did those RAV4’s make it out the factory door?
@@adroitus because they were attached to the unibody but because of some weird problems there was about a 3mm gap between panels.
@@adroitus my question too
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.
@@crazymike7883 Yes the car itself is amazing, worth all the trouble at the end of the day
A good friend of mine works at the Alabama Toyota factory that manufactures the Tundra engines. He said that each engine goes through a 300+ point inspection and each of those points has to be checked 3 times to be checked off. They are extremely meticulous in making sure each part fits the way it should and is put together with the utmost integrity
I trust the quality more than anything else. Toyota knows what they’re doing. By the way, my name is Chris! Nice to meet you, we’re gonna be doing a Yota giveaway at 1K subscribers! Tag along it’s our biggest one yet!

"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.

@@jay-uo2bi Toyotas and Lexus tend to lack creativity and goodlooks/tech but that’s because they focus on reliability before what’s trending
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.
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.
toyota is built very poorly just show me 1 just one toyota thats lasted 20 years and road worthy LMAO.
@@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 dad bought Mitsubishi Lancer glx-i in 1991. Did 650k km without big service. Just oil and filters.
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.
@@MrSnakeassault Yeah, it's the kind of thing that needs careful planning and has little margin for errors.
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.
wow
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

Toyota: We train our workers to be the best.
Others: What happen if you trained them and then they decide to move to other companies.
Toyota: So what happen if you don't train them and they decided not to leave.
If you look after the workforce, they wont leave.
@@notmenotme614 A company can't survive without its work force. Taking care of the workers is taking care of the company. It blows my mind how many companies prioritize squeezing out the extra dollar of profit at the cost of their workers. But, you don't become the richest man in the world by giving your employees proper wages and work conditions (you can become pretty hated that way, though).
@@joshua.merrill if you look under every rich man owning a company, there’s most likely a lot of underpaid employees.
What?
Your grammar is too much work for me
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!!
When you have 10,000 minds working on a problem logic dictates that there will be at least 1 good idea.
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!

Was about to make an “I’m Scotty Kilmer and I approve this message” but the man himself actually said I approve
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.
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.

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.

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.
Hey I just recently discovered your awesome channel!
Our family bought a Toyota Corolla 1981 model (2nd hand) back in 2010....it survived several floods and torrentous rains (im in the Philippines) and its the car I learned how to drive on, manual of course... before finally dying out on us in 2019. We even got to buy brand new parts for it up to 2019!
We had to sell it to the chop shop.
Tears were shed for that car.

I had an 86 Toyota Tercel as my 1st car in 1998. All I did was rebuild the carburetor & standard maintenance. Lasted slightly over 540,000 miles & the only thing that stopped it was a direct collision w/ a massive buck. Easily could of kept going.

The buck was probably built by Toyota. That's why your car died. Too much 'kaizen'.

540 thousand miles. Impressive.

Dude that’s awesome! I wish I had an 84! By the way, my name is Chris! Nice to meet you, we’re gonna be doing a Yota giveaway at 1K subscribers! Tag along it’s our biggest one yet!
Impressive indeed
Sounds like every chevy out there
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.🤨
I've got a 2006 Avalon with 238k miles and you would never know without the odometer!
This is the best explanation of kaizen I've seen. This video coupled with "Mazda, I don't believe you" makes me feel really confident about the Huntsville factory.
Thus is so true, my uncle has a 79 Toyota pickup.
It still runs great he's never had any major issues with it, well the odometer broke yrs ago lol but he still drives it everyday.
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.
why cant we be like them. Why do all our higherups have to be completely fucking arrogant and retarded.
@@BHShaman yea. Its like no one gives a shit anymore. Public companies are the worst man.
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.

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.
Nicely done, I work at the plant in Kentucky. Overall good video and everything lined up.
"fuel economy"

That’s being generous.

Yeah. My 2020 taco get garbage mpg :( sure do love the truck tho hah
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.
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. 😍
Bad ass
make this top comment plz
I work at TMMWV and I agree 100%.
I’m at TMMI. It’s nice to see this.
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🤙
I’ve had my 03 Tundra since my mom gave it to me and with 250k miles it’s still running like a beast and while I am planning to get another car, I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of my Tundra.

@Nicklaus White ever heard the story of the 99 corolla?
If ain't broke keep fixing it.
My dad bought a 2013 Toyota tundra and was using it to haul our 33 foot travel trailer from Virginia to Alabama, with its bed still being filled to the brim with our shit, basically every summer and winter to visit family. It is also his daily driver so it just accrues tons of miles annually anyway. After 8 years of this heavy usage it has not had a single problem ever come up, not even a small issue. Just regularly expected maintenance.
In comparison, my mom bought a 2010 Chevy traverse to use as her daily driver. It has only ever had to pull a small u-haul trailer once and typically is never even loaded with anything in general. In the 11 years we have had it the car has had its timing belt and fuel injectors replaced twice, just about every transmission component replaced once (including a complete replacement of the transmission with a new one we did about 4 years ago to try and get around the frequent transmission issues it was having). This newer transmission started to shift roughly about 3 months ago... The car has also had its power steering pump replaced and other power steering components replaced as well as several replacements of console electrical components. There are probably several other repairs that I Have forgotten about that had to be done.
It's just not even a fair comparison between the two vehicles. My mom was trying to make it last while she went through college so she doesn't put tons of miles on a new car going back and fourth on a 40 minute round trip daily to her school and back but the traverse forced her hand. Just bought a new 2022 Camry hybrid a few days ago and has already put 130 miles on it and the gas tank only reached 3/4ths capacity yesterday. Those little things are fucking insane.
Cool video. Love my 5th gen 4Runner but I laughed when you said that thing about fuel mileage.
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.
That is the tradeoff
Honeslty that's why I like them. I have an sr5 2021 tacoma the fact that it's basic is one of the reasons i love it so much.
No they're not
Performance is for those dumbos who get speeding fines regularly.

One simple philosophy I have learned from working with Japanese OEM’s is “don’t fix what’s not broken.” Something like that. That’s why a lot of platforms get refined over the years but not totally gutted and redesigned.
I think we can all learn a thing or two from that.
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
As a Toyota parts specialist I approve this message.

One major issue with Toyota's is that they outlast the owners.

@@viktorianas I'm taking up the family van, a 2005 Sienna. I intend to take her as far as I can.
My brother worked at a Toyota plant where they manufacture engines and transmissions. They definitely do care if you stop the line. Every second the line isn’t moving they extend their shift to make up for the stopped time. They are super super strict on employees.
Great video and knowledge that I was not aware of. I bought my 1st Toyota product in 2003(Lexus) and ever since I buy nothing but Toyota. I always thought it was just a big hype but proven they make a great product, maybe the best out there
The absence of "Jidōka" and "Kaizen" in ferrari's assembly line is what gave birth to Lambos.

My brother works for Toyota, and listening to Nolan talk about Toyota sounded exactly like stories my bro tells me from work lol
I met a guy that made body parts for the old pickups. He said the tolerances required by Toyota were FAR tighter than any domestic shit.
Tolerances were tighter for something that doesn’t really need precision.. but rust proofing, forget that! 😂🤣
@@Bartonovich52 I agree with that one!!!!
A coworker of mine has a new Tacoma with 3.5L. It had oil seal leaks. The engine had to be removed, fixed, then replaced at like 40k miles. My wife owned a Corolla and at about 140k miles after a life of perfect maintenance had valve tappet issues and it was ticking like a time bomb and chattering so we traded it in. It is really model specific. I don't believe you can simply buy a toyota and be good to go. You have to research each model for problems.
Not many people have forgotten about the 2.4 liter oil burning.
Yeah the new Tundras seem to have the most issues out of trucks these year I imagine the new Tacomas could have those as well.
Seems like an American problem or the ones built in Mexico. Toyotas built in Japan/Asia almost have no such issues.
I have a friend who works at toyota, they got this Kaizen research competition of toyota dealers every year. What a great way to improve everything in a company.
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.
Mazda is equally good but underrated.
