About the hybrids (Toyota) reliability in the long run, you are just plain wrong Scotty. They work normally better with less problems than even the non hybrids. If you really dig down in the details of how they work you will see it. It is actually less complicated and they use both worlds to make the drivetrain more robust. E.g. the system is now completly beltless. And the gearbox almost never breaks down (e-CVT is a different system than than an ordinary CVT).
@@JavesInteriano Yes and the hybrid system, called HSD, is going thru different generations and with each generation it becomes even more simplified and reliable.
I’ve been looking for a Tacoma and found a beautiful 2019 Limited with 17,000 miles. Test drive it and the engine was shaking and there was a small crack on the driver dash. The carfax showed NO accidents but two months before it was traded in the driveshaft was “serviced”. The salesman said that was because some of the Tacomas of that year had recalled driveshafts but this particular one wasn’t a part of the recall. I got out of there as fast as I could. Scotty has taught me so much common sense when it comes to car shopping. As a woman I really appreciate it!
If your getting a 2019 doing that, the previous owner was most likely abusing the crap out of it. You never know the whole situation. I have a 16 Camry hybrid that started with 64k miles and it runs like a dream. Never had a problem with it. I watch a lot of video’s from the “Car Care Nut Guy” who is a master diagnostic tech for Toyota and knows all the issues regarding certain Toyota vehicles according to years and types because he sees them all the time. Love Scotty’s channel but a lot less drama from AMD. Which I like much better. Hope you found the vehicle of your dreams and it works well for you. Peace
If you think $6800 is a lot of money, try $10,000 for the battery for a 2013 Yukon Hybrid. A neighbor was bragging about his used Yukon Hybrid until he had problems. His friends told him NOT to buy it; he's hard-headed.
Ohhh Those old GM Hybrid SUVs were strifed with problems. Luckily Ford and Toyota Hybrids have proven to be extremely reliable. The few HV battery failures of Ford and Toyota Hybrids are usually found on older, low mileage cars. Hybrids need regular driving cycles to keep the battery properly maintained. Both Ford and Toyota Hybrids are generally capable of 300K plus miles. I'd be weary of a Hybrid regardless of manufacturer past 15 years old. Unless, of course, one is capable of rebuilding or replacing the HV battery pack themselves.
One of my students bought a 2020 Silverado trail boss last year. The thing is now in the shop getting the rods and lifters replaced 😂😂😂😂. And get this. They gave him a Range Rover to drive for the next month while it’s getting fixed. Hahaha tried to tell him not to buy Chevy!
$5500 for a generator? I paid $4500 for my 2006 Ford Escape with V6 2wd back in 2017, and it only had 71,000 miles on it! It reached 170,000 miles today!
You cant judge an engine by its beauty cover...I always throw mine away anyway...remember turning our air cleaner covers upside down on the old carborated 4 barrels...🤣😂🤣😂 kids...
I watched carefully and Scottys tuxedo cat photo bombed him three times. So, ya got a secret inspector that makes sure things are ok, especially the frame and the trunk. Now we know how he knows: "Meow, don't buy this heap, the frames rusty, Meow."

But the Synergy generators are just a brushless three phase wire coils and the electronics are in the inverter. The windings never go bad. It's nothing like a regular generator, which has a limited life span.

My wife bought a Ford Fusion Hybrid eight years ago. It's been trouble free and she's averaged about 45MPG over the life of the car but it has 120K miles on it now and after watching this video I'm concerned about the battery and generator. No way I'm dumping thousands into it to replace either one of these.
I bought a 04 Prius with a 132k miles for my courier business, 300k miles later (432k miles) I replaced it and my Nephew has been driving for a few years with no issues. The only thing I needed to replace (besides general maintenance) was the front wheel bearings and a 40.00 inverter pump.
I have a 2006 185k that i purchased last year. It never fails to surprise me! I recently changed the spark plugs and one wire got pulled accidentally. The engine didn't turn on, threw up some codes, but the car still drove fine!! Limited range but still drove! Figured out the problem and reconnected it, it fired right up... Recently I found out that battery reconditioning is not that expensive and lasts a year or two. If the battery starts acting up, id gladly go for reconditioning!
"They are money pits waiting for you to fall into them." Now that's a new one!😂😂 Keep it up Scotty. Can't get enough, I've learned SO much from you in the last few years. Thank you!!!🙏🏼
Hybrid cars are ideal for Rideshare Uber/Lyft where you put lots of miles on the car in a few years before the hybrid battery ages like Scotty was explaining.
I always check for the VIN stickers on each body panel of a Toyota or Lexus to see if body parts have been replaced. No sticker usually means that body component was replaced at a body shop.
Thank you Scotty. Drove a Prius for 10 hour shifts for security. Unmarked. No one knows I'm security. It's a beautiful car. Gorgeous seating, interior comfort and set up. Plenty power,handles well and sure to trigger the insecure humans who can't appreciate a gorgeous machine like this.
10-4 I put roughly 12-1500 miles a week on my Prius' for my courier business with no issues and love the car. and I buy them used with over 150k miles on them. no issues even at 400k miles. ( I rotated it out and sold it to a nephew for cheap and replaced it with another Prius)
Usually I agree with Scotty, but a friend of mine bought an 08 Highlander Hybrid with 150k miles which now has 225k miles, and has had no issues with the exception of fixing the brakes.
Bought our 2008 V6 Sport new. A couple of minor recalls, but just regular maintenance and she fetched $8,900 on trade (for a new 2020 limited) with 155K on the odometer. It was a great family SUV and averaged 20 mpg. Solid Toyota.
@@thomashill6033 No, they didn’t make a hybrid Sport model. Minor omission. 😄 The current generation hybrids are far better than pre-2020. But, they have a limited lifespan, just like every other hybrid, due to the batteries’ eventual death.
Years ago I had a 2009 highlander with 45k miles and one of the oil hoses burst and drained all the engine oil in minutes. I stopped within a few hundred yards of getting the low oil pressure light. Toyota fixed it under a TSB. I sold that thing immediately as I was concerned about permanent engine damage.
Hi Scotty, love your show since a child(46 now)! Big Toyota fan, 4 Lexus and 1 1990 pickup. I need the best year Lexus IS, best year GS, best year Tacoma, and best year RX models.
I bought a '98 Ford Expedition 2 years ago for just $2 grand! It's very reliable and comfortable, it's not fuel efficient like my Cmax hybrid but it can do everything my hybrid can't like pull a big boat etc.
Hey Scotty kilmer I share some of your videos with my friend who is looking to buy a SUV and I told her to watch your videos to because he tells the truth and for myself watching you now I know Toyotas are excellent but I am like you I would buy old so thank you Scotty kilmer for being who you are and I am sorry for the long message
My 08 Highlander Hybrid has over 200k and still going strong. Only maintenance, brakes and tires. It's a beast in the snow and ice. Best vehicle I have ever owned.
Hybrids NEVER break even. Saw this all the time working at the dealership. If you're lucky, and the vehicle actually gets even close to the advertised mpgs, the battery goes out and your right back in the hole several thousand dollars.
I feel the same goes for Stop-Start systems, with the more expensive battery. And that's ignoring the other relevant parts being more expensive off-the-bat
had an early 2000's prius i just got rid of with over 240k miles on it with basic maintenance the entire time. dont get me wrong the car was definitely worn but mechanically fine when i traded it in a few months ago
The more components a car has, the more complex to fix it, and more stuff to worry about. And even more expensive to buy. I am like Scotty, I stick to the simple.
My 2018 Jetta gets 42mpg EASILY for highway driving, and the mid thirties in suburban driving. 1.4 liter turbocharged engine, no hybrid. Paid $500 for a 40k service interval and my fuel economy went up because I had new spark plugs and air filter (46mpg and even more). Great car.
Bought a '10 new. LOVE IT!! 159K miles. The '22 is a 4cyl. Way underpowered and noisy. Decided to keep the '10. We take long trip. Comfortable. Quick off the line. Didnt get it for the mileage. Love it.
Reason I’d stay stay clear of the new tundra hybrid. Not in the market right now but going to wait 2-3 years after the Tacoma redesign to see how good it is.
Theres a spy photo of the Taco so do you think they will have a reg i4/v6 non hybrid? Heck even a turbo i4/v6 can save more money on repairs vs a hybrid lol.
You really think Toyota hasn’t already done their homework? Lol. The new hybrid pickups are going to be better in every single way. Reliability/Mileage,, electric motors take off silently and easily. Toyota knows better than the average consumer what they need. Eventually we will all be driving electric so this is the best of both worlds for now. The Sienna is already a hybrid standard if that doesn’t tell you it’s reliable I don’t know what to tell you.
@Jack Waller You do have a point. I live in Los Angeles where the majority of pick up trucks are used like minivans. However, electric motors have MORE torque not less. So I’m not sure how pulling a lot of weight is going to be the problem.
@@kodiack12345 We’re building them at a rate of 425 per shift. Two shifts per day. That’s an 8 hour plan, but we’d be building probably upwards of 460 per shift if we had the parts to do so. Suppliers are struggling to keep up.
@@Deschain-um7jz I found out they are making a woodland edition, giving more ground clearance. But it doesn't seem like it is available in Canada yet.I wonder if it is worth getting that model for better snow clearance comparing to the 2022 xse awd which is what I ordered
I was looking at used Hylanders but seeing hybrids and imagined huge bill to replace the battery, so passed. Thank you for providing the numbers. Gas fueled should be fine.
I bought a 2006 Toyota Highlander v6 limited hybrid with 150,000 miles for 7000 with a new battery. I did have to replace the modulator and calibrate it through the dealer. It cost like 2 thousand. It's at 200,000 and has been great. Gives me 28 miles per gallon. 2 years of driving it across the country for my kids wrestling tournaments and I think it's been worth it. It's a beast.
Every new Toyota I’ve ever had within 2 years the low tire pressure light always came on even though the tires were at the required pressure. I have always kept a tire pressure gauge in my car since I started driving as a just in case I need to check for whatever reason.
My 2021 Toyota Yaris Hybrid (European model) drives 58-59 miles per gallon, despite having a 1.5l petrol engine with a combined 116bhp system performance. Zero issues so far. Toyotas engineers are geniuses.
I wish they sold those in the US! I love the Yaris! and to have on as a hybrid would be great! or on the opposite side, the Yaris GR! (we have the Yaris, but not a hybrid or the GR model) The only analog sold in the US was the UGLY Aqua rebranded as a Prius C.
@@LanceD188 It's a shame that American dealerships have little interest in selling smaller and greener cars. There's a huge market in Europe and Asia for these models and they get significantly improved for each new model line, because competition is very high. In America, it seems most people still want SUVs, pickup trucks or sports cars. Not much development happening in the first two of those car segments.
@@thoso1973 Frankly, I would love to get my hands on one of those little hatchbacks with the small diesel engines that get upwards of 70 mpg. I would love to have one of those for my courier business.
I just got a 2010 Lexus HS250h & it was well taken care of. It does have 112,000 miles on it, but drives like a brand new car. I’ll be taking too care of it. I work from home so I don’t drive it as much so I think it will last me a good few years.
True for a big Toyota. But the Prius, Camry, and Corolla Hybrids are worth it for the fantastic gas mileage. And remember, the Prius is the most reliable car available in the USA according to Consumer Reports.
I fully agree with you about avoiding hybrids. Too much technology, which leads to all the expensive repairs. But just curious if someone can just continue to drive their hybrids with a "bad" battery or generator. Is this possible? Can you maybe disable the hybrid stuff? If they simply got worse MPG, would the Toyota engine and car still be okay for 10 more years?
IDK about other brands but, if your battery goes bad on a Prius, they drive terribly, they are sluggish and do not feel safe to drive. as for replacing the traction batteries, there are companies out there that are making new battery packs for hybrids that use newer battery technology that last longer and are much more efficient, equating to even better MPG for less than half of what the Dealer sells the OEM replacement batteries for.
We have a 2017 Highlander conventional 3.5 all gas v6 front wheel drive. I love it but gotta be careful with torque steer when you use it’s 295hp. I baby it but it caught me by surprise when I punched it one day just to see what we had bought and if it had enough get-up and go should I ever need to get around someone in a short passing zone. It did very well and I love it.
I'm not a huge fan of Toyotas, but you can't deny their hybrid powertrains are nearly bulletproof. And the efficiency is remarkable: My wife's 2020 Highlander gets 32-35 mpg. Have seen as much as 42 at high elevations. Also, the AWD system uses an electric motor to drive the rear wheels when needed - no differential, transfer case, driveshaft, etc.
In my opinion. Hold on to your gas powered motor. If it breaks fix it. In time, especially now with climate technologies coming out. The batteries will be cheaper the more they make. I plan on hanging on to my 07 Colorado 130k and my Chevy Equinox 69k miles till they figure out the battery problems. I plan on just taking good care of my vehicles. Shits to expensive to buy anyways. Lol
They are also developing a cleaner version of gasoline to work with normal engines. The people with common sense know we can't just cold turkey combustion engines.
Scotty got 283k on a 2010 Honda Insight and have never had to fix it besides the AC compressor. Considering I got a terrible interest on it thank god it has been good to me. Looking to hopefully make it to 500k.
Oops.... too late. Put me on the stupid list. Hope it lasts long enough to have been worth is. 2007 Highlander hybrid w/ 170k miles (my first ever, and probably last, hybrid). Consumers reports said it was a good model.
The hybrids brand new are only $2000 difference than the regular gas … same with the RAV4 . I just bought a 2021 RAV4 limited hybrid and it’s absolutely amazing.
I'm never gonna buy a old V6 Toyota. So many pipes and hoses and things. Almost impossible to change spark plugs. I asked a kid with small hands to insert the wrench..😅
I have 2015 corolla s with 55,000 miles on it, and 2015 bmw 328i with 78,000 miles on it. Toyota shakes like crazy, and bushings knocking, but BMW doesn't shake, doesn't knock with still original sway bar links, and drives like a dream.
So you got a lemon, and 78k on the BMW..so what... It won't last like a regular Honda or toyota.....MOST ppl will tell you they love their.honda.or Toyota
@@hetanosgago9508 no, YOUR Honda . Not.most. infact we have a 13 yr old Honda, no suspension issues....no rust....runs like new.194k miles. 5 spd, even has the original clutch still.. your Honda was bad, most aren't..the only tranny problems they have was certain years w the V6. Everyone knows that. And as far as rust, you obviously didn't keep yours clean enough
One more reason to get a hybrid: By law, all hybrid powertrain and emission components (battery, motor-generator, and transmission, catalytic convertor, etc.) are warranted for 8 years/100k miles. Remember that when the finance guy tries to sell you the extended warranty.
Hey, Scotty! Love your channel! My wife and I want to know the name of your black-n-white Kitty. He/She reminds us of a kitty we used to have. We love seeing him in your videos :)
I had a different experience. I have had my 2006 Prius which is a hybrid. I bought it with 80,000 miles. In 2018 I brought 2 new cells with a 5 year guarantee.
@ Kay Happy My 2006 Prius was still running perfectly when I traded it in last month because my catalytic converter got stolen. It had 242k miles and no sign of slowing down, just burned a small amount of oil (about a half-quart every 5k miles, approx.) I did not want to spend the amount it took to replace the cat and O2 sensor, etc so had to say goodbye but I hated to do it. Excellent car.
Bought a 2016 Kia Sorento AWD 4Cyl. 2 years old. (Could not afford the Highlander). Yup it burns 1 Qt. oil between oil changes. Got lucky on oil consumption, verses the horror stories I've heard on these things.(specially the 4 bangers) Gets honest 27.5 mpg highway. (My average is 23.0 mpg /town highway) I totally agree with your SUV/Hybrid opinion.
I have a lot of prius Uber driver friends. all of their cars over 220k. only one of them had a major issue with it, misfire spark plug 1, no mechanic could be able to found the issue.
Scotty's MPG is based on a AWD, the FWD V6 gets about 23City and over 28-32 HWY, (this is regarding 3rd Gen models. Scotty is showing the 2nd gen), YMMV
Could have saved money by just going with a 2 wheel drive. Less complex and less to go wrong. I have the exact same Drive train in a Lexus with over 250,000 miles and no issues at all with the engine, the electrical engine, the transmission, or the fwd. The vehicle this person purchased could have been abused or not maintained.
But will it make it to the million mile club before that 7500$ battery repair? I'd wager it won't, and the point is that you could've bought a used high mileage toyota in the million mile club for cheaper than $7500.
@@naughtyorgneiss this argument would only make sense if one should get to a million mile to break even on the hybrid. this is clearly NOT the case - especially not with the 4th gen highlander....
@@viktorkatona7521 The argument only makes sense if you want a proven, much cheaper (less than the cost of a hybrid battery replacement) Toyota vehicle whose model is in the million mile club or if you want to spend $38,851 on a 2021 highlander hybrid and pray it makes it 1 million miles because "it's 4th gen". By the way, 4th gen 2020 had 46 service bulletins and 1 recall and 3rd gen 2019 had only 44 and 0. The whole "it's newer so it's better" argument is a common trap so don't feel bad. Another option, you can buy a used highlander hybrid with 200k miles and pray it makes it to a million without a battery change (which to my knowledge none have done yet) and pay a little less. Both ways (buying a hybrid new or used) are not smart in my and scotty's opinion if you want to get huge mileage out of it before selling/trading in. For example, you can buy high mileage lexus rx250s and toyota sequoias, 4runners, tundras, tacomas for less than $7500 and depending on the year/package are in the million mile club with typical maintenance. Why settle for a hybrid that won't make it (as far as we know at this point)? Are you saying that 4th gen will be the first to make it to a million miles without a battery change or huge major repair? I'll always bet on gas engine Toyotas with an already proven track record of longevity. If electric highlander hits the 1 million mile club on the original battery I'll consider it but so far that is a pipe dream. At this point the only electric I'd get is prius because at least you'd make your money back for the expensive repairs. Though my whole family can't fit in it so either Toyota's SUVs needs to hit 50 or 60+mpg or their original battery needs to last 30-40 years before replacement. At that point I'll retire my ICE suv though that will probably last another 700k miles for me so it's going to be awhile (unless gas hits $6/gallon).
My 30 year old truck, still looks and drives like new, has less than 250k miles on it. I'm keeping it as long as it will allow me to drive it. Paid for a long, long time ago...bought new for cash $5k. What a deal!!

My wife bought a Ford Fusion Hybrid eight years ago. It's been trouble free and she's averaged about 45MPG over the life of the car but it has 120K miles on it now and after watching this video I'm concerned about the battery and generator. No way I'm dumping thousands into it to replace either one of these.
Trade it in now! Someone else's problem then!
Is there any actual problems with it if not I wouldn’t worry Scotty is very dramatic about hybrids I see many with well over 300k miles

I just filed for the trademark "Fancy scan tool". I hope to sell t-shirts and other merch

I bought a 04 Prius with a 132k miles for my courier business, 300k miles later (432k miles) I replaced it and my Nephew has been driving for a few years with no issues. The only thing I needed to replace (besides general maintenance) was the front wheel bearings and a 40.00 inverter pump.
I have a 2006 185k that i purchased last year. It never fails to surprise me! I recently changed the spark plugs and one wire got pulled accidentally. The engine didn't turn on, threw up some codes, but the car still drove fine!! Limited range but still drove! Figured out the problem and reconnected it, it fired right up... Recently I found out that battery reconditioning is not that expensive and lasts a year or two. If the battery starts acting up, id gladly go for reconditioning!
"They are money pits waiting for you to fall into them." Now that's a new one!😂😂 Keep it up Scotty. Can't get enough, I've learned SO much from you in the last few years. Thank you!!!🙏🏼

Hybrid cars are ideal for Rideshare Uber/Lyft where you put lots of miles on the car in a few years before the hybrid battery ages like Scotty was explaining.
Wish I had a mechanic like you up here in Canada Scotty!

I always check for the VIN stickers on each body panel of a Toyota or Lexus to see if body parts have been replaced. No sticker usually means that body component was replaced at a body shop.

Thank you Scotty. Drove a Prius for 10 hour shifts for security. Unmarked. No one knows I'm security. It's a beautiful car. Gorgeous seating, interior comfort and set up. Plenty power,handles well and sure to trigger the insecure humans who can't appreciate a gorgeous machine like this.
Good luck and cool story bro.
10-4 I put roughly 12-1500 miles a week on my Prius' for my courier business with no issues and love the car. and I buy them used with over 150k miles on them. no issues even at 400k miles. ( I rotated it out and sold it to a nephew for cheap and replaced it with another Prius)
Usually I agree with Scotty, but a friend of mine bought an 08 Highlander Hybrid
with 150k miles which now has 225k miles, and has had no issues with the exception of fixing the brakes.
Bought our 2008 V6 Sport new. A couple of minor recalls, but just regular maintenance and she fetched $8,900 on trade (for a new 2020 limited) with 155K on the odometer. It was a great family SUV and averaged 20 mpg. Solid Toyota.
Was it a hybrid like the one he was showing? The non hybrid Highlanders are the definition of reliability.
@@thomashill6033 No, they didn’t make a hybrid Sport model. Minor omission. 😄 The current generation hybrids are far better than pre-2020. But, they have a limited lifespan, just like every other hybrid, due to the batteries’ eventual death.
My dad has a 2007, well over 100 k miles. Only major repair was the radiator recently.
@@thomashill6033 yes it is a hybrid.
Years ago I had a 2009 highlander with 45k miles and one of the oil hoses burst and drained all the engine oil in minutes. I stopped within a few hundred yards of getting the low oil pressure light. Toyota fixed it under a TSB. I sold that thing immediately as I was concerned about permanent engine damage.
Hi Scotty, love your show since a child(46 now)! Big Toyota fan, 4 Lexus and 1 1990 pickup. I need the best year Lexus IS, best year GS, best year Tacoma, and best year RX models.
For me, Lexus newest models are always the best, except the LS 🧐
@@mahfudmahmuddin3161 LS older models are better, but too big for my style
I bought a '98 Ford Expedition 2 years ago for just $2 grand! It's very reliable and comfortable, it's not fuel efficient like my Cmax hybrid but it can do everything my hybrid can't like pull a big boat etc.
Hey Scotty kilmer I share some of your videos with my friend who is looking to buy a SUV and I told her to watch your videos to because he tells the truth and for myself watching you now I know Toyotas are excellent but I am like you I would buy old so thank you Scotty kilmer for being who you are and I am sorry for the long message
A friend bought a non hybrid highlander last year. It priced out around 53000 dollars fully loaded. What can you say? Your right Scotty.
The name of the cat in this video is obviously Prius, heard his name and came thinking it was the lunchtime
My 08 Highlander Hybrid has over 200k and still going strong. Only maintenance, brakes and tires. It's a beast in the snow and ice. Best vehicle I have ever owned.
do u rust proof? for winter
Scotty your videos are great. Thank you so much for all the knowledge and wisdom you're giving us.
In order to get high gas mileage on a hybrid, get a PHEV. That way you can dramatically reduce your gas use, and ICE use.
Hybrids NEVER break even. Saw this all the time working at the dealership. If you're lucky, and the vehicle actually gets even close to the advertised mpgs, the battery goes out and your right back in the hole several thousand dollars.
I feel the same goes for Stop-Start systems, with the more expensive battery.
And that's ignoring the other relevant parts being more expensive off-the-bat
@@AvenDonn
I couldn't agree with you more.
had an early 2000's prius i just got rid of with over 240k miles on it with basic maintenance the entire time. dont get me wrong the car was definitely worn but mechanically fine when i traded it in a few months ago
I bought my mom's Jeep Liberty for $1,000. That's less than the cost of a remanufactured battery. I'm keeping the Jeep.
@@bondgabebond4907 Until it blows the tranny or you start fixing something every couple months.
The more components a car has, the more complex to fix it, and more stuff to worry about. And even more expensive to buy. I am like Scotty, I stick to the simple.
My 2018 Jetta gets 42mpg EASILY for highway driving, and the mid thirties in suburban driving. 1.4 liter turbocharged engine, no hybrid. Paid $500 for a 40k service interval and my fuel economy went up because I had new spark plugs and air filter (46mpg and even more). Great car.
Evening Mr kilmer 🙏 appreciate you
evening!
Bought a '10 new. LOVE IT!! 159K miles. The '22 is a 4cyl. Way underpowered and noisy. Decided to keep the '10. We take long trip. Comfortable. Quick off the line. Didnt get it for the mileage. Love it.
Reason I’d stay stay clear of the new tundra hybrid. Not in the market right now but going to wait 2-3 years after the Tacoma redesign to see how good it is.
Theres a spy photo of the Taco so do you think they will have a reg i4/v6 non hybrid?
Heck even a turbo i4/v6 can save more money on repairs vs a hybrid lol.
Man I need someone to convince my bro to stop buying the next hybrid Tundra or Taco
@@Gleeleeglee people are suggesting that it will have a 2.4 liter I4 turbo that’s in a current Lexus.
You really think Toyota hasn’t already done their homework? Lol. The new hybrid pickups are going to be better in every single way. Reliability/Mileage,, electric motors take off silently and easily. Toyota knows better than the average consumer what they need. Eventually we will all be driving electric so this is the best of both worlds for now. The Sienna is already a hybrid standard if that doesn’t tell you it’s reliable I don’t know what to tell you.
@Jack Waller You do have a point. I live in Los Angeles where the majority of pick up trucks are used like minivans. However, electric motors have MORE torque not less. So I’m not sure how pulling a lot of weight is going to be the problem.
More reason to keep driving my 66 chevy
"If you are into science, look at this stuff, you kids will get a kick out of it" lmao. Oh boy... I just ordered a sienna hybrid 2022.
Thank you for your patronage. I build those.
@@Deschain-um7jz they told me it is going to be a three month wait.. Sigh
@@kodiack12345 We’re building them at a rate of 425 per shift. Two shifts per day. That’s an 8 hour plan, but we’d be building probably upwards of 460 per shift if we had the parts to do so. Suppliers are struggling to keep up.
@@Deschain-um7jz I found out they are making a woodland edition, giving more ground clearance. But it doesn't seem like it is available in Canada yet.I wonder if it is worth getting that model for better snow clearance comparing to the 2022 xse awd which is what I ordered
@@kodiack12345 I would look into the differences in suspension height and rigidity and base your decision on that.
One of the reasons I’m nervous about the new Tundra! Really wish Toyota would have put their 3.3L diesel in it as an option.
I was looking at used
Hylanders but seeing hybrids and imagined huge bill to replace the battery, so passed. Thank you for providing the numbers. Gas fueled should be fine.
I bought a 2006 Toyota Highlander v6 limited hybrid with 150,000 miles for 7000 with a new battery. I did have to replace the modulator and calibrate it through the dealer. It cost like 2 thousand. It's at 200,000 and has been great. Gives me 28 miles per gallon. 2 years of driving it across the country for my kids wrestling tournaments and I think it's been worth it. It's a beast.
Did Scotty just imply that the Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a money pit? My head just spun crazy. 😉
He didn’t imply it…he outright admitted it.
Every new Toyota I’ve ever had within 2 years the low tire pressure light always came on even though the tires were at the required pressure. I have always kept a tire pressure gauge in my car since I started driving as a just in case I need to check for whatever reason.
So what's the best non electric car out there
@@wamnicho Toyota. The tire pressure light has been the only problem I’ve ever really had with any of mine
Miss that old Houston driveway!
Hi Scotty, you’re very entertaining. I don’t care much about cars, you make me laugh and you’re very informative. Regards from Australia.
My 2021 Toyota Yaris Hybrid (European model) drives 58-59 miles per gallon, despite having a 1.5l petrol engine with a combined 116bhp system performance. Zero issues so far. Toyotas engineers are geniuses.
I'm thinking about getting a new Toyota Yaris Cross. I hope it drives well without any issues.
I wish they sold those in the US! I love the Yaris! and to have on as a hybrid would be great! or on the opposite side, the Yaris GR! (we have the Yaris, but not a hybrid or the GR model) The only analog sold in the US was the UGLY Aqua rebranded as a Prius C.
@@LanceD188 It's a shame that American dealerships have little interest in selling smaller and greener cars. There's a huge market in Europe and Asia for these models and they get significantly improved for each new model line, because competition is very high. In America, it seems most people still want SUVs, pickup trucks or sports cars. Not much development happening in the first two of those car segments.
@@thoso1973 Frankly, I would love to get my hands on one of those little hatchbacks with the small diesel engines that get upwards of 70 mpg. I would love to have one of those for my courier business.
thank you Scotty. I knew it. Finally this video helped me decide to buy an Audi.
$6,800 in tanks of gasoline is a lot of tanks fills. Scotty, you’re a life changer…I was thinking of buying a Toyota hybrid. No mo!!!
The cat kept trying to upstage Scotty 😆
I just got a 2010 Lexus HS250h & it was well taken care of. It does have 112,000 miles on it, but drives like a brand new car. I’ll be taking too care of it. I work from home so I don’t drive it as much so I think it will last me a good few years.
True for a big Toyota. But the Prius, Camry, and Corolla Hybrids are worth it for the fantastic gas mileage. And remember, the Prius is the most reliable car available in the USA according to Consumer Reports.
It is they regularly come in to the dealer I work at with 250k+ miles on the dash just for regular oil changes
U mean Land Cruiser
Sold our 2014 Prius iii for $12k with 74k miles a few months ago in Cali
What’s impressive is how Toyota’s new Sienna hybrid gets 36 city/36 highway mpg for being an almost 5,000 vehicle.
Oh, the old place! It is a couple of $800k townhouse now, just like Scotty said.
I now think Scotty Kilmer wears the dark glasses so auto executives can't recognize him on the street
Now I am not sure should I need to buy RAV4 prime or skip it?
I fully agree with you about avoiding hybrids. Too much technology, which leads to all the expensive repairs. But just curious if someone can just continue to drive their hybrids with a "bad" battery or generator. Is this possible? Can you maybe disable the hybrid stuff? If they simply got worse MPG, would the Toyota engine and car still be okay for 10 more years?
IDK about other brands but, if your battery goes bad on a Prius, they drive terribly, they are sluggish and do not feel safe to drive. as for replacing the traction batteries, there are companies out there that are making new battery packs for hybrids that use newer battery technology that last longer and are much more efficient, equating to even better MPG for less than half of what the Dealer sells the OEM replacement batteries for.
We have a 2017 Highlander conventional 3.5 all gas v6 front wheel drive. I love it but gotta be careful with torque steer when you use it’s 295hp. I baby it but it caught me by surprise when I punched it one day just to see what we had bought and if it had enough get-up and go should I ever need to get around someone in a short passing zone. It did very well and I love it.
This is the best better call saul episode

This is actually a top 10 list.

His hand gestures bring so much life into our lives
I'm not a huge fan of Toyotas, but you can't deny their hybrid powertrains are nearly bulletproof. And the efficiency is remarkable: My wife's 2020 Highlander gets 32-35 mpg. Have seen as much as 42 at high elevations. Also, the AWD system uses an electric motor to drive the rear wheels when needed - no differential, transfer case, driveshaft, etc.
In my opinion. Hold on to your gas powered motor. If it breaks fix it. In time, especially now with climate technologies coming out. The batteries will be cheaper the more they make. I plan on hanging on to my 07 Colorado 130k and my Chevy Equinox 69k miles till they figure out the battery problems. I plan on just taking good care of my vehicles. Shits to expensive to buy anyways. Lol
They are also developing a cleaner version of gasoline to work with normal engines. The people with common sense know we can't just cold turkey combustion engines.
Solid state or lithium?
Good luck keeping the Equinox long term. The electric revolution will not be coming as quick as they say
Scotty got 283k on a 2010 Honda Insight and have never had to fix it besides the AC compressor. Considering I got a terrible interest on it thank god it has been good to me. Looking to hopefully make it to 500k.
I have 2017 highlander hybrid with 221,000 mile and zero problem so far.
I have a Toyota 3.5L v6 so I think I’m fine long term. Their 4 cylinder is more bulletproof but the current one is rather too noisy for what it is
@The Real VR the 2GRFE I hear is a beast.
Mines the 2GR FKS. The 3.5L D4S v6
Me too 2GRFE. We need to do any maintenance to these? Just oil change/filter? I’m at 140k miles and purrs like brand new
The new Prius prime is so complicated you should review it Scotty
Seems like Toyota's weakness is their rear differential. Our RAV4 had the rear differential whine the only way to get rid of it was to trade it in.
Or fix it
I have an 11 year old Lexus CT200h. Bought 4 years ago. 160000kms. Only oil changes. Runs like new. Just a dressed up Prius

Oops.... too late. Put me on the stupid list. Hope it lasts long enough to have been worth is. 2007 Highlander hybrid w/ 170k miles (my first ever, and probably last, hybrid). Consumers reports said it was a good model.
Price of cars right now would compel me to take my chances trying to fix the car
The hybrids brand new are only $2000 difference than the regular gas … same with the RAV4 .
I just bought a 2021 RAV4 limited hybrid and it’s absolutely amazing.
I'm never gonna buy a old V6 Toyota.
So many pipes and hoses and things.
Almost impossible to change spark plugs.
I asked a kid with small hands to insert the wrench..😅
I have 2015 corolla s with 55,000 miles on it, and 2015 bmw 328i with 78,000 miles on it. Toyota shakes like crazy, and bushings knocking, but BMW doesn't shake, doesn't knock with still original sway bar links, and drives like a dream.
So you got a lemon, and 78k on the BMW..so what... It won't last like a regular Honda or toyota.....MOST ppl will tell you they love their.honda.or Toyota
@@richsweeney1115 honda is real lemon with crapy transmissions suspension and after 10 years will look like a rusty bucket, haha.
@@hetanosgago9508 no, YOUR Honda . Not.most. infact we have a 13 yr old Honda, no suspension issues....no rust....runs like new.194k miles. 5 spd, even has the original clutch still.. your Honda was bad, most aren't..the only tranny problems they have was certain years w the V6. Everyone knows that. And as far as rust, you obviously didn't keep yours clean enough
One more reason to get a hybrid: By law, all hybrid powertrain and emission components (battery, motor-generator, and transmission, catalytic convertor, etc.) are warranted for 8 years/100k miles. Remember that when the finance guy tries to sell you the extended warranty.
Couldn't a tire just be low? That wouldn't throw a code. Its not the TPMS light on, just the tire pressure light on..
That's exactly what I thought, just a low tire that wouldn't throw a code, but maybe I'm wrong or maybe the machine would still put up a red flag?!?
Hey, Scotty! Love your channel! My wife and I want to know the name of your black-n-white Kitty. He/She reminds us of a kitty we used to have. We love seeing him in your videos :)
I had a different experience. I have had my 2006 Prius which is a hybrid. I bought it with 80,000 miles. In 2018 I brought 2 new cells with a 5 year guarantee.
@ Kay Happy My 2006 Prius was still running perfectly when I traded it in last month because my catalytic converter got stolen. It had 242k miles and no sign of slowing down, just burned a small amount of oil (about a half-quart every 5k miles, approx.) I did not want to spend the amount it took to replace the cat and O2 sensor, etc so had to say goodbye but I hated to do it. Excellent car.
Bought a 2016 Kia Sorento AWD 4Cyl. 2 years old. (Could not afford the Highlander). Yup it burns 1 Qt. oil between oil changes.
Got lucky on oil consumption, verses the horror stories I've heard on these things.(specially the 4 bangers)
Gets honest 27.5 mpg highway. (My average is 23.0 mpg /town highway) I totally agree with your SUV/Hybrid opinion.
Unfortunately for you oil consumption is a precursor to engine failure according to what I’ve heard.
The 94 Sillycar must be for sale >>> we never stop hearing about it
1990s GEO Metro = easy maintenance, cheap to operate and fantastic gas mileage.
Daewoo Lanis
Had a red 1. Mpg was ridiculous and yes gave me very little issues.
I have a lot of prius Uber driver friends. all of their cars over 220k. only one of them had a major issue with it, misfire spark plug 1, no mechanic could be able to found the issue.
Scotty's MPG is based on a AWD, the FWD V6 gets about 23City and over 28-32 HWY, (this is regarding 3rd Gen models. Scotty is showing the 2nd gen), YMMV
The new Highlander hybrids get much better gas mileage compared to the V6 gas counterparts now.
@@tails300 exactly. also, the price difference between the hybrids and non-hybrids has shrunk considerably since then...
Could have saved money by just going with a 2 wheel drive. Less complex and less to go wrong.

@@naughtyorgneiss the fuel economy of the new highlanders are much better than the one shown here...
306,000 miles on Highlander hybrid. No abnormal issues.
But will it make it to the million mile club before that 7500$ battery repair? I'd wager it won't, and the point is that you could've bought a used high mileage toyota in the million mile club for cheaper than $7500.
@@naughtyorgneiss this argument would only make sense if one should get to a million mile to break even on the hybrid. this is clearly NOT the case - especially not with the 4th gen highlander....
@@viktorkatona7521 The argument only makes sense if you want a proven, much cheaper (less than the cost of a hybrid battery replacement) Toyota vehicle whose model is in the million mile club or if you want to spend $38,851 on a 2021 highlander hybrid and pray it makes it 1 million miles because "it's 4th gen". By the way, 4th gen 2020 had 46 service bulletins and 1 recall and 3rd gen 2019 had only 44 and 0. The whole "it's newer so it's better" argument is a common trap so don't feel bad.
Another option, you can buy a used highlander hybrid with 200k miles and pray it makes it to a million without a battery change (which to my knowledge none have done yet) and pay a little less. Both ways (buying a hybrid new or used) are not smart in my and scotty's opinion if you want to get huge mileage out of it before selling/trading in. For example, you can buy high mileage lexus rx250s and toyota sequoias, 4runners, tundras, tacomas for less than $7500 and depending on the year/package are in the million mile club with typical maintenance. Why settle for a hybrid that won't make it (as far as we know at this point)? Are you saying that 4th gen will be the first to make it to a million miles without a battery change or huge major repair? I'll always bet on gas engine Toyotas with an already proven track record of longevity. If electric highlander hits the 1 million mile club on the original battery I'll consider it but so far that is a pipe dream.
At this point the only electric I'd get is prius because at least you'd make your money back for the expensive repairs. Though my whole family can't fit in it so either Toyota's SUVs needs to hit 50 or 60+mpg or their original battery needs to last 30-40 years before replacement. At that point I'll retire my ICE suv though that will probably last another 700k miles for me so it's going to be awhile (unless gas hits $6/gallon).
My 30 year old truck, still looks and drives like new, has less than 250k miles on it. I'm keeping it as long as it will allow me to drive it. Paid for a long, long time ago...bought new for cash $5k. What a deal!!
What kind?
