Toyota and Lexus is still one of the most reliable cars out there today. I’ve got multiple Toyota cars and trucks and all have over 200k miles now. Two of my supras have over 250k and the tundra and LC both have almost 300k miles on them.
Oh sure, I agree they are the most reliable. I’ve bought only Toyota or Lexus for almost 20 years now. The first car I personally bought was a Celica in 1985. (Replaced it with a Mustang after the Celica died at 8 years.) Toyota got back on track in the late 90’s and now they last 15 years.
I was only pointing out that the legendary Hilux was even more reliable in the 1970’s than the 80’s.
I had the same experience with a 1992 Toyota pickup truck. The thing was a tank, and had over 300,000 miles on it, and it was still running perfectly fine when I sold it for cheap.
Top Gear even had an episode where they tried pretty hard to destroy a mid 80s Toyota Hilux pickup truck. So, I think that they were pretty reliable in the 80s and 90s, too. At the very least the trucks were.
I still see a lot of old corollas, 4runners, and Toyota pickup trucks on the road in my area, too.

They’ve been top the reliable brand for a long time now.
Hell the Hilux is the unkillable truck for the Middle East for the last 40ish years.

I was going to point out those two top gear episodes, but that just seemed like cheating lol
