[QUOTE="Creston, post: 443205, member: 22510"] I put water pumps and wheel bearings in them. The 3.5 v6 usually. But they do go forever. Real pia to change the back 3 plugs. Cowl, wipers, and intake manifold have to come off. Front 3 plugs take 35 seconds each Lol. Water pump is no easy task either. I just wear sunglasses and a hoodie when I drive my wife's highlander. Most comfortable vehicle I've driven for long trips and I've had 2 Denali and my 2021 truck. Gas mileage is around 18 though. Nothing special. My 5.3 Denali and my new 5.0 got better. But 200k terrible free miles. My 5.0 has 2k on it now and I'd bet parts of my anatomy that I'm quite fond of that it has major work before 200k. Id also bet it does better than either of my Mopar. Time will tell though. I can see it going 200 more. There isn't a single thing wrong with it. The last time I took the jeep I averaged 14 going and 10 coming back. Stock 4.10 gears and 33 inch tires. Our v10 gets 12 both ways. Lol. My mustang gets 27 ish but it's idling at 80 in high gear. Around home it gets 17 or so. Lol Jeep and mustang are manual trans. I strongly considered a v8 tundra. If I had found one in stock I'd have likely ended up with one instead of my 5.0. But they killed the v8 for 22 and 21s are non existent. Other than starters and rust I've not seen much issue with the tundra. Starter is pretty dumb though. Under the intake manifold like a Northstar v8. Lol [/QUOTE]
