Toyota Stout is gonna be wonderful.
Hey Scotty, I noticed the book "Endurance" on your upper shelf. Shackleton's adventure is my favorite survival story of all time! How about you do another documentary on this story? Your previous documentaries are so well done!! Also do you miss your your original garage?
Big mistake getting rid of the v6. Nobody wants 4 cylinders in a truck.😢
I want a 4cly I just don't want a turbocharged 4cly.
We need a V8 🇺🇲
Asking $50,000 for a Tacoma is not going to work out. The price is going to have to come down.
Yea but will last longer than other brands
@@roberthicks9191Sure, but who will buy it? It makes no financial sense to sink that much money into a car, especially since so many people finance them with, say, 84 month loans at a high interest rate.
Just to let you know, the Nissan Pro4x last longer than The Tacomas. Look it up. Tacomas arent dependable vehicles too and they have a bad track of record. Leaking coolant, leaking rear diff oil just to name a few.
@@ninjazzrhythm400 I'm a fan of the Tacoma but you are spot on with everything you said. Brother drives one and I had to ask him to park on the street because of random coolant leaks and oil.
@@ninjazzrhythm400+ frame rot if I’m not mistaken
I have a 2007 Avalon, 300,000 miles, still runs great, wouldn't trade it for anything
2000 Avalon here, 377k on the clock.
I have had several mechanics tell me that a 2010-2014 Toyota Avalon’s some of the best cars ever made. Most of them got over 500k miles.
I know several families that only buy cars used during these years. . And the families own several of them that have over 4-500k miles with very little maintenance.
I have owned a 2002 and a 2007 Avalon. Incredible sedans. Pure luxury and dependability. Family members still driving both of them with hundreds of thousands of trouble free miles on them. Best Value. In the car world.
I'm still trying to understand why Toyota, knowing that people buy the 4runner specifically for the death and taxes reliable dinosaur 4.0, would bother changing it. I got 503k zero trouble miles outta my old 98 Jeep Cherokee XJ before it rusted out and would have paid anything to replace it my mechanic told me the 4runner is the only suv that'll even come close to reliability so I bought one LOVE IT and beyond pissed off they've destroyed it. I'm going to buy a 2023 this summer trade in my 2016 just to ensure I've got the last great real 4runner until I retire.
I had the same issue with my 99 cherokee with the inline 6 and manual. The only think close to it was a 4runner . Only could go automatic but been happy so far.
If the reliability is that good, then why even saddle yourself with extra debt for a whole seven years newer model?
I had a 2006 grand cherokee with 200k miles and my mechanic told me it was time to let it go. The engine and tranny were still solid though. So I bought a 23 4runner for the same reason you mention. I will say though, give the 2023 Gx460 a look. V8 and solid!
the answer is always emissions regulations. toyota retooled their entire operation to focus on hybrids, that's why you see all the same powertrains across the 4runner, tacoma, land cruiser etc. if they didn't have to meet asinine emissions numbers i bet anything they'd keep a natty V6 in their 4x4s
I just did the same with the last great Tundra. Had to drive 5 hours and pay 6k less than sticker for a 3 year old truck, but I’m happy.
Turbo killed the 4Runner
SUV killed the econobox.
Video killed the radio star
And the Land Cruiser and hybrid will kill the Camry and Rav4
Remains to be seen. I know this - I wish there was an option to get it without the big IPad on the dash. Looks stupid.
@@guestguest3715🎵
Only Scotty can use the word “killed” on his caption without any restriction from youtube
True that! You can’t say the word “retarded” nowadays. You should be politically correct by saying “non advanced “.
He got the K word pass
In the Urdu language there is a saying that describes this : he can be forgiven for 7 murders! (Isko Saath khoon muaaf Hain)😁
😂 💯
I bought a new 2016 Toyota corolla with 6 speed manual transmission and its at about 100,000 miles on it now. In the 8 years I've had it the only thing I have done other than oil and tires is the battery.
I had a used 2016 RAV4- got to 140,000 miles before totaling it - other than routine maintenance and changing the battery myself...nothing.
I HAVE A 07 5SP WITH 197K STILL RUNS 97% HIGHWAY MILES. DONT FORGET TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION OIL. SINCE ITS A 5SP YOU CAN CHANGE THAT ALL THE TIME AND ANYTIME. HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT YEAR IN A 5SP ITS SOOOOOO HARD TO FIND THEM TODAY
Tyler Hoover said when he was driving his new Cyber Truck home the automatic brakes engaged when he came to a big hill.
Thanks for all your info Scotty😃👍🏻
Texas Lady🖐🏻
I loved my 2004 Avalon with bench seats. A fabulous car…….after 12 years I gave it to my sister and bought a used Lexus ES350. I love the Lexus even more!
Great info 😊
For all work under a vehicle except having to remove the tires I love my wooden ramps. I made them with 2x12 lumber glued and screwed.
Yeah wooden ramps made to lay flat are very safe. The one in Scotty's thumbnail was a joke. My DIY wooden ramps are as safe as metal ones
I’m sticking to my supercharged FJ Cruiser🤷🏻♂️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Scotty your the man.i bought remanufactured 5.4 V8 Triton I have 30.000 miles on it I have no complaints so far runs great I bought it from power train I would recommend a power train engine to anyone I have complete confidence in this engine I put the engine in myself it came with the valve covers on it.when I received it that baby was ready to go and they upgrade older models it's a 2007 anyone considering a remanufactured engine take a look at there site and see what all they do to their engines I think you will be impressed keep trucking scotty
Instead of cutting off a sledge hammer handle just use a masonry hammer. It will remove stuck rotors and steel rims rusted onto the hubs no problem.
My dad bought an Avalon rather then a Cadillac back in the early 90s
Wise choice.
It’s probably still running
Great choice! Avalon is a great vehicle! Likely cost less then then a Cadillac at that time and better resale too, with way less cost of ownership.
I love how enthusiastic scotty is giving out the info even when there's more to say than air needed but he still uses as much as he can. Also what about wood jack stands where do you stand on those scotty huh? Oh yeah did you hear about the chemicals that are toxic in the materials of car seats, they had a expert on the news clip that said especially when its hot to roll down the windows before you het in the car.
@scottykilmer how do i ask a ? In the q&a i have comented lots 16 frontier auto 68k 2.5L is it safe to change trans fluid as preventative? No issues
Toyota marketed the Avalon as a large car. In my opinion compared to another large car the Buick Lesabre it fell short. The Lesabre had the 3.8 liter V-6 engine which was one of the best engines ever made. It also had a 4 speed overdrive transmission which was also very good. I still see 20 year old Lesabres driving down the road today.
M
I have wood ramps, but they're layered/stacked 2x6 and can't collapse.
Hi scotty is the BMW M47 ENGINE Diesel any good and is it chain drive
I have a mk3 jetta ,dropped a vr6 in it from a passat wich are all made in Germany, have a turbo kit for it going on soon
Watching Scotty on vacation in Morocco, some call me crazy, I call it being a Scotty purist. 😂😂
My friend had a '99 Avalon since we were in high school 2005ish. She just traded it in. 368k. It was amazing, she kept it pristine.
Great video
Yup got a 2005 Avalon, and love it
My new favorite car is the 06 Mercedes E 500 amg 178000 looks and runs like new,got it for 5500 is that a good price?
i've always felt ramps are a two person job. That's why jacks are better, you can just do it yourself.
I can tell you another reason why the Avalon failed. I love my 2000 Avalon, it was the best car ever owned. Then I owned a Toyota Venza for 13 years, and missed my Avalon the whole time. so, in 2019 I was ready to buy a new Avalon, but I discovered I could not physically fit inside the car. They shrunk it down so much that way I had one cheek on the seat, the metal of the door frame was hitting me in the ear.. I was so disappointed because I had my heart set on another Avalon. I don’t know if it would’ve opened up once I got inside, because I’ve had back surgery and I can’t do yoga to get in..
I had 3 tcm on my ford focus go bad. After I put a new clutch in new forks and a junk yard tcm I did a relearn on and now my vehicle works.but I did fix a bunch of wiring. I believe the old wiring helped make my tcm modules fail. I also drive Mt ford focus alot differently then a traditional auto trans. Cause this isn't a normal trans it's really not a true automatic it's a hybrid
😮tacoma with 4 cyl turbo aren't being sold
I have a 6 mile round trip commute. Would it be wise to let my engine warm up for 10 mins or so so that the engine can reach its full operating temperature during my short commutes?
I've got the same issue, 5 mile round trip to work and due to a gdi turbo engine, had to get my intake walnut blasted for the second time in 100,000 miles. Find the longest route possible and take that instead. If you have an auto with a manual shift mode, keep it one gear lower than the top gear it would normally get to when traveling at speed...I also live in the north where we see 0 degree mornings, hence the keep it one gear low comment... during all the other seasons I just let the trans shift normally.
My first car in 2017 was a 1998 Toyota Avalon that was given to me when a relative passed. The dumbest thing I ever did was not take care of that car but a newer car that was a Nissan! Needless to say, after me not changing the oil in that car for 2 years, ripping at the catalytic converter and so many more terrible things…. The car is still running great and my Nissan is scrap. Needless to say I’m a firm Toyota believer, rip to the Avalon.
They are bringing back Crown. Crown is the original large sedan. They replaced it with Avalon. Now they are back to it. They are relatively the same.
Toyota won't have any vehicles left at this rate, Scotty😂
Exactly😂
😂😂😂😅
They won't be in business producing shitty looking trucks like the new Tundras.
Turbos are Toyota’s downfall.
I was looking at used Avalons recently and found them to be more expensive than Lexus. Their reputation for being well made, quiet rides, and not being made anymore I think drove up the demand, and the price went up accordingly
thank you for not saying Corolla. the Avalon is basically a Toyota Luxury car.
Dealerships gonna have to offer 15k discounts 😂😂😂
True. Avalon was definitely considered Toyota's flagship product
For the wood ramps, the ones you talk about aren’t really good
Personally my father made himself at goodfelo by simply cutting the edge of some super big beams and 30 years later, still excellent shape. Also, since they are in wood, the weigh is balanced better for the driveway 😅
Ahh, the BFH. Best tool in the box!
The 4 cylinder Tacomas were better then the v6 ones. The v6 tacomas had bad problems and drank way too much gas for a little truck. 4 cylinder is really all you need in a little truck and those 4 cylinder tacomas were fun 4x4ing.
no they killed their best car when they killed the avalon and v6 camry
I miss the v6 rav4
@@atticstattic oh yea me too, the rav 4 V6 was great, very fast too
Do most of the Toyota Tacoma's made from 2013 all the way to 2022 had Daihatsu engines in it?
this guy is the best!
Why did Toyota stop making the Tercel five speed standard
Toyota didn't stop making this type of car; they just don't sell them in USA or Canada
The Echo’s the successor to it
It is a damn good car. I drove from north adams to Boston on a little over a half a tank. I loved that little car
If a self driving delayed a emergency vehicle amd caused a death that family should sue!
Hey Scotty, does Toyota have lifetime transmission fluid? I got a 2020 Toyota Camry XSE now has 51,000 miles on it. I don’t know whether they change the fluid or not. What do you think?
No such things as a “life time fluid” typically means the life of the warranty. I’d change mine every 30-40k miles. 20-30k miles if it’s CVT.
No such thing as lifetime fluids. Changed mine on my volvo. Probably time to change yours.
Sure, until your transmission fails. Change it at some point. I just did on my tacoma at 120k miles
Lifetime under regular driving. Most of us fall in the category of severe driving conditions.
If you do make a ramp from wood use finger joints not screws/nails. And don't buy cheap wood
Yeah... The 94 Celica.
I drive a 2016 4Runner and live off grid. The vehicle is excellent
How about daily driving Limited 4runner? Is it reliable for 300k kms?
@@KingKong- It has 130,000 and has never broken down.
The transmission jjst went in my car, and im looking for a new one.
What would u recommend for a 2-door coupe or hatch?
One that works 🤪😜🤪🙄🙄
Get a Honda...=)
Lexus RC-350
Yeah, and they killed the Toyota Corolla LE by putting in cross bar rear suspension and removing the independent rear suspension.
Scotty; do you think the Hybrid component of the Tundra will help with the engine lifespan despite the turbo?
I saw a new tundra with the tt v6 blow up at 30k miles
Turbo killed the auto industry
I have a 2016 2.7 ecoboost 130k miles full of pool supplies from new. Replaced my Titan and is a good truck but rear breaks wear faster than front
Hey scotty. I got a 2012 odyssey. Im looking for a newer vehicle with 3rd row. But i want MPFI. Don't want GDI. Any recommendations?
I have plastic ramps! I did have metal ramps at one point but they got way too heavy as I got older. The plastic ramps have honeycomb design on the underside inside so it won’t collapse when you drive on it, but I always back the car up a couple feet put the ramps up against the tires and then 2 foot it up the ramp, I have my foot on the break and the and just creep up the ramp you know when you get to the top because it flattens out and then there’s a stopper on the end!
The little stopper is good and those ramps are affordable
Just bought new plastic ramps at Harbor Freight and recycled my old plastic pair that i had for over 30 years. do all my oil changes on them
same here
How come it took you so long to tell us about the sledgehammer???
Toyota didn't just kill the Avalon. Happened a while back now.
Top 10 most used thumbnails
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought the reason for the Avalon was so that Toyota could compete in NASCAR. Somebody out there let me know.
It’s terrible, in the past they tried turbos. Always fail. So the new genius who feels turbos gonna save the day. Who ever at Toyota implemented this turbo redirection should be fired
Our 06 Avalon is bigger than our 08 Lexus es350, which is basically Camry size. I believe later avalons were camry based.
The tacoma? The 2024 tacoma is the uggliest truck ive ever seen in my life
Most cars have over 200 miles of wires and cables.
I made wood ramps and for a 5 ton truck, solid treated either side of the sidewalk, appeared as benches when not in use
Scotty probably doesn’t know about PL premium that stuff is stronger than screws, I would trust wood ramps, built by me more than the ones I bought
@@bjkjoseph I used galvanized landscaping anchors to tie them together
@@ty2010 you can pass those down to your grandkids, those things will last forever
@@bjkjoseph probably rotted away by now, last I saw it was 20 years ago, the incline parts stacked and worked as another bench or table
@@ty2010 we had the wooden ramps when I was a kid and we had a wooden weight bench, we didn’t buy anything back then
Scott is a genius man!
Next electric car will warn you if you brushed your teeth or not!
To understand Scotty better put it on 0.75
Good God how old is this, the musk Zuckerberg was what 2yrs ago?
The Avalon is being replaced by the Crown. His question is years too late.😅
That’s what I thought too.
it did happen last year
he's old : )
I love my Avalon
I hate ramps too.
The es350?
Toyota crown is pretty much a hybrid updated Avalon.
its a suv hybrid
I've always heard that Ford used the crate that the transmissions came in to make the floorboards for the model T. The story goes that he designed the crate. And the transmission maker said I'll make the crate any way you want. So the crate is delivered to Ford he removes the transmission pulls out some screws and bingo it's a floorboard. True? Who knows but a good story.
I remember back in the day that Jegs was known for good quality crate engines. Don't know anything about how they are now though.
The 2007 Avalon is much nicer then the Lexus es.
Hey Scotty 👋 From Canada!
What do you think about the new 4Runner? I’m worried the smaller engine won’t last 😢
I wouldn't bother with it tbh. The old naturally aspiratedV6 was perfect. They made a mistake. But they want planned obsolescence... not vehicles that are bulletproof and last 30 years with regular maintenance.
That's partly why they've all extended oil change intervals to 15k or 20k. They want to sell it as ' it doesn't need much maintenance, so you'll save money!' .... ya and your engine will be burning oil at 100k.
My 2013 Focus 2.0L has 400,000km. Synthetic every 5000km (3000 miles) car runs like a top and burns no oil at all.
But you can buy a used Avalon you can get it for the same price as a used Camry 🤔🤔🤔
Never buy a car that has taco or coma in the name. Buy RV ramps their cheap light weight made to grip the ground and hold heavy weight. 😊
Avalon is for old people. It’s Toyota’s version of a Buick.
The best car from any manufacturer will be the one with manual transmission.
The Crown killed the Avalon
MTV killed the Rock star.
the crown is also not selling
@pinoyrunningpenguin maybe too expensive
Owned two Avalons in the past.
Best car i ever owned, sorry i let em go..
Hey Scotty, don't forget that Old Man Henry Ford treated his workers better than any other company so while he was alive & running the company there was no unions needed it wasn't until he was gone & the accountants took over! 🤔😮💨🤬
Could Scotty make a video without moving his arms?
Poor man's Lexus
Mercury/Ford Marque and Crown Vic. Find the local police department mechanic and he probably can find the issue with that car. He may also have old cruisers around with a used computer you can buy.
V6 turbo kill Tundra.
For used toyotas or lexus or Avalon I am afraid of the timing cover leak on the 3.5 v/6. For that reason I will need to get something else for my son's graduation.
SUV killing cars. People want SUV’s
Toyota has a new vehicle technology coming
Scotty, what's your thoughts on the 1.5l 3 cylinder turbo charged engine in the Nissan Rogue? How long will they last in 5-10 years?
The only 3 cylinder I would trust is the one in the Toyota GR Corolla. 1.6L 3 cylinder.
If you do buy the Nissan, be very religious with oil changes, use full synthetic every 5000km or less. Turbo engines need good oil or they wear out quick.
@@derekgardin1512 I'm still leaning with the regular Rav4 Adventure.
Just buy the crown its not bad the crown is the new avalon
