How many Toyotas have you owned???

4 pages in, someone's gotta say it. Yota virgin here, but I have owned her for five years now and with minimal issues, which is longer than any other vehicle I've owned except for a Series IIa landrover. I loved the landy but we had to keep a couple of dead ones in the yard in order to keep one on the road. Despite the maintenance challenges, I'd never turn down the chance to have another landy but over here they make Tundras look cheap.
And since the landy I'd only ever had the budget for cheap and nasty jalopies which made anything Japanese a distant dream.

 

you know what they say, 90% of all Land Rovers sold are still out there on the road. The other 10% made it back home.

 

Not pictured is also a 2019 Rav4.

 

Pre-Toyota: wife and I both owned Hondas and Chevy.

2010-2021: 2010 Tacoma
2021-Present: 2018 Tundra
2021-Present: 2021 RAV4 (Wife)

 

1994 4Runner SR5
1999 Celica GT
2002 Lexus IS300
2001 4Runner SR5
2016 4Runner Trail Premium
2008 4Runner Sport V8
2004 Lexus IS300
2019 Tundra SR5 (current)

All of that in only 17 years. I tended not to hold onto a vehicle very long but I plan to keep the Tundra until the wheels fall off. The Celica, 2001 T4R, and 2002 IS300 all made the round trip from Utah to Alaska and back for summer work.

 

I would do inappropriate and probably illegal things to own that '85 Landcruiser.

 

-1991 4Runner. Total POS but I loved it. That 3.0L was a horrible engine.

-2002 hail damaged Corolla "Hailey"

-2002 Tundra

-2012 RAV4

 

My 1994 3.0 had no compression on cylinder 6 when I sold it, so imagine it struggling along on only 5 cylinders lol.

 

Oh man. I can't imagine. It was the most underpowered vehicle I've ever owned. Worse than the Corolla honestly. It was my first vehicle at 16 and my poor dad spent a fortune trying to get it running right. It never was reliable.

It looked nice though.

 

My dad had a red 1995 T4R, I still think it was the best looking one out of our fleet of 4Runners. He got it repainted after driving it for 20 years and it looked SHARP. Too bad he totaled it about a year and a half later.

Edit: found a pic after it had been repainted, that's my 2001 behind it. He totaled it just a couple of months after this pic was taken sadly.

 

Sexxxy. The runner ain’t bad either. Standard issue 90’s floor length shorts. Period correct.

 

1981 Celica hatchback
1982 Corolla wagon
1984 Corolla sr5

1987 Corolla FX-16
1989 Corolla GTS
1993 pickup 4x4
2003 Corolla
2019 4runner
2021 Tundra

Would love to own a GR corolla or even a 2020-2022 Corolla sedan or hatchback with manual trans(for 2023 the manual option is no longer available in the regular hatchback or the sedan)

Along the way we had a '91 Camry wagon (sweet) and a '01 Lexus GS300, sweet I6. Electronically governed at 154mph and I believe it could do it easily. Took it to 120mph once and it got there fast. Sweet engine note. I do love I6 engines, had a few Mercedes I6's

 

06 Tacoma sr5
07 Tundra limited
02 Tacoma sr5
05 Tacoma TRD off road
All 4x4, & put to work and used like a Toyota should be. Great rigs.

 

The only vehicle I’ve ever regretted selling.

 

You sold it!?!?!?

 

Someone caught me at a weak moment and a pocket full of cash. It was a LOT of profit, but wasn’t worth it in hind sight.

 

Same boat as you buddy. I owned both an FJ60 and FJ62. I sold them both to free up some liquid to purchase my 23 limited. Should’ve at least hung on to the FJ62. It was a great rig.

 

Wow, 11. I didn’t realize how many we’ve had until I listed them:

1984 Van/2WD (manual transmission)
1995.5 Tacoma Extra Cab/2WD (manual transmission)
1988 Celica GT Hatchback (manual transmission)
1989 Camry Wagon (manual transmission)
1994 Pickup/Standard Cab/Short Bed/4WD (manual transmission)
2003 Sienna XLT
2002 4Runner Sport/4WD
2008 Prius
2004 Pontiac Vibe (Matrix)
2013 Prius V Wagon
2000 Tundra SR5/4WD

 

Just 3 for me so far. Started in 2016.

2005 Toyota Sequoia SR5 purchased in 2016, sold in 2018.
2014 Toyota Tundra Limited TRD OR 4x4. Purchased in 2018, still own.
2018 Toyota Highlander XLE AWD. Purchased in 2021, still own.

Owned a bunch of other brands before that. Still have a '95 Wrangler. But plan on sticking with the Toyotas.

 

My list is 16:

'84 Land Cruiser FJ60
'89 Land Cruiser FJ62
not sure what year FJ80 Land Cruiser
'69 FJ40 Land Cruiser (still have this one)
'70 FJ40 Land Cruiser
'76 FJ40 Land Cruiser
'03 Land Cruiser
'08 Land Cruiser (still have this one)
Four pre-Tacoma mini pickups
Three first gen Tundras (long story, gonna make a thread on it)
'14 Tundra Crewmax (still have this one)

***

Also, the kids have had 4Runners and Tundras, not sure how many.

 

'85 Tercel wagon
'00 Tacoma
'01 4Runner
'00 Tundra
'19 Tundra

Oh, and one invisible one.

 

I'm on my 4th and for a daily driver, I wouldn't buy outside of the brand. I do want a sports car so obviously that'd have to be another brand, but also just a toy and not my regular use vehicle.

I've had:
2001 Carolla
2015 Avalon
2022 Tacoma
2022 Tundra (current)

 

382 HP, 367 Ft/lb, and a 6 speed manual should be kinda' sporty. I didn't think I liked the look of the new Supra's when they came out but it's growing on me.

 

GR86 would also be an option for a sporty car.

 

1998 4Runner 3.4 Limited 4x4
2005 4Runner 4.7 Limited 4x4
2007 Tundra 5.7 Limited 4x4

My plan is to eventually find a 2020 or 2021 Tundra 5.7 4x4 and make it my "forever" truck.

 

'88 4Runner
'04 Sienna (still going strong)
'23 Camry

Others in my family over the years:
'75 Corolla (Dad - energy crisis, you know)
~'78 Corona (Mom)
'03 Camry (daughter)
'04 Camry (son-in-law)

 

It's probably a lot of fun but I'm really turned off by the Japanese tuner scene. It's sort of like The Grateful Dead - the music isn't that bad, but the fan base is god awful obnoxious about it. I don't want any association with their car culture even if they are overall great sports cars. In short, it's not the car, it's the behavior of everyone who associates with it.

 

We’ve had 8 total over the years including 3 currently. Must give my dad props to getting us into toyota fan club before everyone else jumped in, since 2004. His favorite was 2008 highlander, mine is 2020 tundra.

 

3 => 2004 Camry, 2013 Prius, 2014 Tundra
