Toyota

Japan · Founded 1937

Reliability as religion. Toyota built vehicles so dependable they became the default choice for anyone who just wanted their car to work.

Heritage

Toyota started as a loom manufacturer, then built their first car as a copy of a Chevrolet. They learned fast. By the '80s, Toyota quality embarrassed Detroit. The Land Cruiser became the vehicle of choice for aid workers in war zones. The Hilux pickup earned a reputation for being literally indestructible. Even the humble Corolla became a global phenomenon. Toyota isn't exciting, but that's the point. When you need a vehicle that starts every time, forever, you buy a Toyota.

This is the truck that built Toyota's American reputation. The one that survives neglect, abuse, and decades of use. It's not fast, not luxurious, not particularly capable by modern standards. But it starts every time, runs forever, and does exactly what a truck should do without drama. The 22R-E engine has a cult following for good reason: it may be the most reliable engine ever mass-produced. These trucks just refuse to die.
