Have they been running this turbo hybrid in Japan?

I think Toyota is the one rock solid brand everyone can agree on in regards to reliability.

I just have my doubts they’ll put out something that is anything other than reliable.



If I was going to put faith in a brand, it's Toyota...I have/currently own several.

I'm just stating the obvious that any engine with a turbo and hybrid technology will require more maintenance. This especially coming from a proven NA V6 it had prior.

Gotcha.

I feel the same way with the faith in Toyota.

Toyota would do well by placing the turbo in a place where it can be easily swapped. They really, really screwed that "service-ability" aspect of the new Tundra design.

I haven't seen under the hood of the new Tacoma, but I imagine it will be the same. A small displacement 4 cylinder is probably much easier to configure in a way that can make service more DIY friendly.
