Part of it is the fact that Toyota stands behind their product. The second is resale. I still get calls from my dealer to buy back my 2019 Tacoma. The prices on those are within $1-$2k of what I paid for it. That’s amazing for a 7 year old vehicle
Ok? I assure you they do not "stand behind" their vehicles more than any other vehicle that is under warranty.
I've had warranty work done on GM, Nissan, Ram, AND Toyota. All were exactly the same, found problem, fixed problem, warrantied work. Done.
Getting called to buy back a used vehicle is nothing new. It's called trying to get you to go buy another new one. Happens all the time.

There are some of the recalled truck with failures on the replacement engine. I would not take that gamble.

With Tundras, it's demand. There just aren't that many, new or used.
They only sold 78K in all of 2024, most at full MSRP.
At GM, Ford, or even Dodge, that's a bad quarter and the brand manager would be looking for a job.
You're 100% correct though, we all get calls and letters.

1000% false.
How about the DOD/AFM issue in GMs? Well known fault. So much so that "DOD Delete kits" are getting really popular.
What does GM do? If you start to have a symptom, they only replace the 1 lifter that's failing. They should never have allowed that crappy design into production, but to only change out 1? That's terrible.
Or Nissan, when their CVT fails right around 90k less predictably? They tried to say it needed a software update. They refused to just own up to the crappy design.
It's extreme for Toyota to replace every tundra engine for multiple years. That's unlike any other brand.

No, it's not. Toyota and every other manufacturer is held to the same standard for recalls, NHTSA.
Toyota historically has a reliability perception because well, they use old proven tech. When they attempt to modernize you end up with the tundra, and look how that has worked out.
Every time they try to enhance their product into the modern era they fail.
Tundra engine? 127k recalled vehicles
Added backup camera? 395k vehicles recalled
Added large touch display? 162k vehicles recalled
The major difference is Toyota goes public hard with recall information so that dipshits like you believe they are standing behind their product, when in fact they have to. GM, Ford, all the other majors would just issue a service bulletin and go on about their day.
Go on believing that Toyota is ANYTHING other than just another car brand.

Toyota is replacing the entire engine - are the other car manufacturers doing that for their issues?

Long block?

This. Things start happening when you move everything around. I wouldn't do it without a solid warranty

Because they have to replace the entire engine

Just my $.02 but I would be concerned that everything that was taken apart to do the swap wasn't put back together just so... It's a body-off job to pull/replace that engine which involves someone(s) taking their time and re-torqueing everything back to factory spec.
That's how major engine work is being done on all trucks now. Not just Toyota. Especially on the diesels. It's far easier to remove the entire cab with a lift and have complete access to the engine area.
It actually would probably be more piece of mind If it was done with cab off. Would be less chance of "crap that bolt is hard to reach. I'll just snug it up as best I can" decisions.
