    The people who seriously won’t buy it because it has a turbo are crazy. Acting like turbos are a new technology or something lol.

      Most of the people complaining about potential reliability issues are just finding something to whine about. Let’s be honest if they really cared that much about reliability in a car, they would just buy a Corolla and call it a day. I bet 80% of those Tacomas are just mall crawlers that will never utilize the full bed or see a speck of dirt in their lifetime

        Does anyone know? What is the failure rate, or need for turbo replacement during a car’s lifespan? Is it a guaranteed must replace in 10, 15, or 20 years? Or do they tend to last the life of the vehicle?

          Depends on the design and how the vehicle is cared for. Under normal operation, keeping up with maintenance (mainly making sure it has decent oil), typically the turbo will last the life of the vehicle.

      “A hybrid?! From Toyota?! They’ve never done hybrids before! This will surely be unreliable! A turbo?! Even worse!”

        More things to break and adding complexity to a system that’s been around for 20 years with no major problems!!! /s
