You should put something in there so people know you are just kidding. We have a little problem with the Ford and GM fanboys coming on here and bashing Toyota every chance they get.

^^^ Toyota covering 3.5 million engines, voluntarily, due to sludge. . . . and you still think it is propaganda?

Well. . . .maybe it is just propaganda and Toyota is just going along with it. . . .I can't say that is the best business decision though. . . . . .

that wasn't too funny


TravisAe86: I suggest you LOOK INTO the tech behind sludge problems and why they occur before you make those kind of statements, this is a documented issue - you haven't seen it first hand, but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I read about above but wasn't too enthusiastic to post here as only a crowd of TOYOTA ENTHUSIASTS can appreciate that.

I think 'engineer' and 'Z28Wilson' are doing a good job of shinning here..................

They still haven't recommended which Fords and GMs I should trade my Sequoia and Camry in for... Waiting..

Well sir, if I thought you were serious I would recommend some cars to at least look at. But I'm not going to waste my time.
