Yep, oh and window regs regularly crap out, as rev pointed out, prettty much 1-2 days for water pump, they are just a huge nightmare.
But people look at them and think "oh it's got a Toyota badge, can't be too bad then". On a side note a car dealer bought a damaged one, took it to the panelbeaters next door to get a quote on repairing it, drivers side rear guard had been hit so hard it bent the roof, imo that's the best thing that could happen to those cars :twisted:
