Take care of your car and it will take care of you. The best engines even if you don't take care of them well, they'll keep going. Some of the honorable mentions need their maintenance to be done on time to keep going.
Then there are engines that no matter what you do, they'll not keep up to the Toyota reliability standard. And lastly we address some engines that are developing issue trends most of due to lack of maintenance.

Owner of a 2005 4runner, put over 233k miles and zero issues. Going on 19 years strong.

I’m so glad someone finally mentioned the 22r/22re
-
This young man is an amazing mechanic and communicator/teacher. AMD you are a blessing to Toyota/Lexus owners and to YouTube. God bless you and your family!

I have a 2011 FJ Cruiser (1GR FE) with over 503k miles. I bought it new and put every mile on that stud. I change the oil regularly, and it doesn't burn a drop of oil. It absolutely runs like a sewing machine. As a side note, I still have the original U-joints, transmission, and gears. It is an excellent vehicle through and through! Love your videos!

We are a devoted Toyota brands family and I am an avid viewer of this channel and greatly value the education I get from you. As an owner of vehicles that are powered by several of the engines mentioned in this video (1997 4Runner, 2008 ES350, 2008 SC430, 2017 GX460, 2019 4Runner TRD OR) I enjoyed the history lesson and your expert opinions. Wishing everyone a happy new year!

Hey man... fellow 2010 fortuner owner here. I'm from India and we have a lot of toyota diesel cars here that have clocked 800k miles without breaking a sweat. One engine I'd like to mention is the 3.0L D4D 1KD-FTV. It's a gem of an engine:)
-
The 3MZ-FE in my Lexus ES 330 has done 400k miles and it still steams and doesn't burn oil at all. No loss in power, hasn't been opened and I just completed a 700 mile one way trip over the holidays. Really solid stuff!!!
-
original owner 1987 Toyota pickup 22R engine 2wd still going strong after 37yrs, still my daily driver to date.
-
I love my toyota pickup with the 22r in it. Mine was stolen in 2018 and recovered. They had run it hard with low oil and I continued to drive it for 2 years and then I rebuilt it during covid. It's a very simple motor to work on.
-
Long time subscriber - A fantastic break-down of the available engines, as well as the models and years they were available. Great content, as always AMD! Keep it coming! 🤘
-
This came at the perfect time. I am currently looking at a Camry with the 3MZ-FE and a Pontiac Vibe with the 2AZ-FE. Both with 130k miles. This is helping with our process greatly. Thank you!
-
surely the 4A-GE gets a mention had one for over 500,000 klms without a hitch sounded so cool
-
1ZZ-FE in my 2005 Vibe just hit 400,000 miles. 5,000 mile oil change intervals using Toyota filters and Valvoline 5W30 synthetic. Never uses more than 1/2 qt. Toyota must have made millions of these engines in all the Corolla variants. Just imagine the cumulative miles wordwide.
-
Very nice! Good to know. I own both a ‘99 4Runner and 2008 GX 470 and I absolutely love both of them for different reasons but such a joy to drive on the road and Offroad! Thank you for your knowledge and insight!
-
Owned a 1976 Celica automatic transmission with the 20R engine. Drove it from new in 1976 until I sold it in 1992 with 235,000 miles on it. I had one valve adjustment at about 150k and repaired an oil leak once. It was still going strong when I sold it.
-
Both the 1LR-GUE and 2UR-GSE was also a collaboration with Yamaha. Totally agree that when Toyoat and Yamaha create an engine, it's a masterpiece. Too bad that Yamaha stopped all of its car projects.
-
Just a comment from a fellow "former" Lexus tech. You put together a fantastic video speaking of these engines, the pros, the cons, and what they came in. 👍
-
17 Taco. 150K miles(250Km) Engines running solid. Just saw another 2018 with 500K miles(800km) trans went water pump and rad. Engine is still going with 5-10K oil changes. Thank you for this amazing video

I love the passion and your knowledge thanks for sharing these vidoes.
