    I started watching Scotty's videos a long time ago when I was 16. When I first started watching, I would laugh at how much Scotty pushes Toyota reliability. I was one of those people who aspired to eventually own a fancy BMW or Mercedes. After learning from a few car mistakes, I now realize that Scotty was 110% spot on the entire time. I currently have an Accord, which has been a great car, but my wife's Toyota Camry is absolutely amazing. I will probably be brand loyal to Toyota for the rest of my life now!

Have personally met Eiji Toyoda and presented to Akio Toyoda whilst I was there. Toyota is a fantastic company to work for. High customer focus, Safety and quality. The workers are their main asset. Great place. Visited Japan, Thailand and America plants also in my time.

      This is somewhat revisionist or at least skips over the Deming betraying ford, stealing vw audi quality control math and methods then running to emporer Hirohito to create a more conventional and much cheaper product specifically to outcompete vw in US hirhito then commission rd toyoda to fulfill thisission for the glory of japan and the emporer I'd only know if he gets to the partbabpout the defective computers that killed andaed at least 25000 known passengers and driver's estated to be only 10 percent of actual incidents or rigging the black box so it was incapable forensic recording of digital eventsaling it impossible for toyota to identify and correct problem with computer or any other accident related data in 2010 the Obama admin made toyota adopt all.of vw engine and safety tech systems vw gave toyota nd honda 260 billion in free catch up and be safe clean and durable tech this was reflected in massive gains in perfoamce and efficiency both brands have made a yearly since Clue the largest auto and truckamufactorer on the planet NOT toyota since2012
      More recently take takati airbags have made not only toyota butost other brands on thearket into deathtraps toyota new about this before they went into production and madeillions anyway they're improved one is already being recalled byost manufacturers because it's more deadly
      The flyingseat that kills andaims tear passengers. Was known by toyota tone deadly in 1956 but they are still refusing to fix it
      Note also that toyota knew about the fuel injection computer defect before the first production run but dumped millions of the killerachines on am erican roads before they were forced to let vw fix it for them combined with the overall barely adequate and subpart physical substance qualities high cost of parts relative to vw audi or gmc ford etc I don't call this an example of good automobile just
      Good marketing and legal strategy toyota holds a retainer with all.tje largest law.firms to prevent successful consumer lawsuit for damages due to all they're known safety defects including ones that haven't been exposed to light yet
      Having said that the other cheap ness and relative simplicity of the vehicles combined with peppy program ming and high priority on visual impression makes selling the cars easy

      Life is short and you cant take money or your car to the grave. Toyotas are usually lacking the fun factor. I've never kept a car more than a decade and usually sell them running as good as I got them. If you kept every car for 10 years, thats only 6 or 7 cars in most peoples lifetimes. Maybe thats acceptable for some but I want to drive more than that!

    This was incredible. My Grandpa always told me there are a lot of great vehicles out there...but there is only 1 Toyota. If you want to keep a vehicle not for years but Decades it's a Toyota. Bought a 2010 Camry brand new and owned it for 10 years and 73k miles. The only thing I had to do was oil changes, a set of tires, and windshield wipers. The car was basically in perfect condition still barely broke in at 73k when I sold it to upgrade to a Tundra. I will only own Toyota period!

    • @jzm6403
      @jzm6403 Před 2 lety

      I bought a brand new 2010 Avalon Limited and it was in the shop at least 6 times. Pull to the right took 3 times to fix. (I finally told the mechanic where to look.) Caliper was hanging. Left headlight fogged up. They replaced both. Rear windshield kept fogging up. Bad seal but Toyota replace the entire window. Finally traded it in with 4K miles on it. Current Sienna Limited I've had 5 years. Has had many expensive repairs. Anyone who tells me Toyota's never break down or need repair is full of it. Many brands of cars out there that are trouble free if taken care of when new. A friend bought a Hyundai Tucson. She drove it almost 10 years without one repair. She bought another one brand new. I think the Camry and the Tacoma are the best vehicles Toyota makes. The rest are a roll of the dice.

    Thank You Scotty, great job on the explanation of TOYOTA's history. I used to work on Toyota's back in the late 1970 when you only needed a a screwdriver and 10 mm Open/Ring wrench. Simple cars like the Morris cars from GB. Love your clips. To date I am a Toyota believer, Camry and now to a Highlander. Mano.

    Since I was a little kid, my family owned many different Toyota models ranging from Corollas, Pickups, 4Runners and even a light blue Previa in the mid 90’s 😄 That brand loyalty definitely rubbed off onto me.. I drive the hand-me-down 2003 4Runner that has racked up almost 300k on the clock and recently, just purchased a 2010 Camry LE with the 2.5 I4 for my significant other. Both of my babies far exceed what they’re designed to do and are such well put together automotive marvels! They seriously put a smile on my face every time I climb behind the wheel.

    I don't know why these stories have me choked up the whole time I'm watching. Am I the only one who this happens to? I just love a story of someone who wouldn't give up or take no for an answer. I was told no by the Army recruiter after a year of working hard on getting in. I didn't accept him telling me no. We went into that recruiting office (99.9% of other's would've accepted their "fate" of the "no" received by the recruiter) and spoke to his boss. He seen the determination, crossed a few T's, dotted a few I's and I was on an airplane to basic training the following week. Don't you ever give up on your dreams! Don't EVER take no for an answer when you are determined to accomplish something! I left the military and didn't stop. I own a moving and hauling company. I've inspired my fiance to the point of her getting her real estate license. Once upon a time I wanted to be a millionaire, now I'm shooting for billions 💯. It's not impossible folks.

    I felt like a traitor to the American auto industry when I bought my first Toyota in 1990 which was a four wheel drive pickup; I went on to buy a 1995 4Runner. Prior to buying Toyota's I have purchased Ford and Chevy, Dodge and Jeep vehicles and was never happy with them as they proved unreliable.
    Contrary to the Toyota's which I still own today and still run great, in fact the 4Runner is my daily driver with almost a half million miles on it with never ever failing to start or run. My only mechanical expenses have been for expected routine replacements of tires, belts, hoses, wipers, filters and of course regular oil and lube service. I have NEVER regretted buying Toyota and will certainly do so again in the future.
    And who could blame me; I have a 25 and 30 years old vehicles that have always done their job and done them well........

    Great presentation. You missed Poka-yoke and Yokoten. I was task to apply Kaizen to my department. The pizza example was called Value Stream Mapping. I had to follow a worker all day and record the amount they had to travel to get their job done and plot it on a map of the companies floorplan. I had to come up with a way to minimize their travel. Pretty much put tools right where the worker needed them so they didn't have to go get them. As pointed out somewhat in your presentation Visuality is important. I had to put these tools on a tool so that anyone could see a tool was in use or missing. Nothing hidden in a toolbox. Had to walk through the shop every morning before a shift to make sure every tool was on these boards. All because of Toyota's success of building the finest automobiles LoL You did touch on JIT (Just In Time) inventory reduction. Receiving a part exactly when needed.

Word from the workers was that they (the Japanese managers that oversaw the plant) were strict but not unfair. They were serious about quality. If you didn't care they didn't need you. Nothing wrong with that at all. They paid very well ($20 an hour in 1992 for a line worker) but they wanted people who cared and were serious about delivering quality.

    Scotty, I have been a fan of yours for about 5 years. You always give great advice and explain concepts so that even a grade schooler can follow and learn so important facts. I found this documentary on the origins and rise of Toyota fantastic and very educating. I have been repairing and driving since I was 18 yrs old, now I'm 72. Not at your level of expertise but I have always been able (with the help of great teachers like yourself) to keep and maintain what I drive. Keep up the tremendous and very helpful ideas and tips. My wife has a 2003 Toyota Celica (not the GT) and only had the clutch replaced in over 120,000 miles. Just regular maintenance and garage kept since day one. It looks like it just rolled off of the showroom floor. She is 67 and insists she will keep driving and shifting her mid-life crisis baby until she can't climb in and out of it anymore. I had a 2010 Prius, which I loved to death but swapped it for a 2017 Subaru Forester, whic I also love, but really miss the Prius.

    Scotty these videos are amazing. Reminds me of the one Clarkson did on Layland. Love it!

    This was very interesting. I stopped buying American made cars in the 90's and bought my first corolla in 97..I traded that one in in 2008 for a 2009 corolla which I currently drive. I love them. They aren't flashy or speedy...they are dependable just like me :)

    I’ve been watching you for a few years and just traded in my Jeep Grand Cherokee for a 2020 RAV4 xSE Hybrid.

      My Jeep CJ7 has a Toyota B diesel engine. Stronger and more efficient and economical than the old gas guzzling engine.(Big advantage is the availability of spare parts almost anywhere) I call it ToyoJeep.

    Great job on this one! Very informative. Scotty, I'm so disappointed in myself...I sold my 2001 Avalon about 2 months ago:) It was in great condition inside and out, standing and watching the engine running with the hood up...it sounded like a quiet sewing machine, steady as can be, with a smooth perfect trans to match that engine. My plan was to buy a used newer one but with the way things just went with the car market...that may not be so "cut and dry". Ugh!

      @@sgvincent100 Ha, I can only wish. That was the plan, to find a newer Avalon...or Camry. Not been good pickings at all. I have a leased vehicle until Sept 2022. I shudder to think I might need to buy out the 2020 chevy I'm leasing before finding a decent deal on another used car. What I'm in will be 3 yrs old in Sept and has 20,000 miles on it and pretty much loaded less a moon roof. I still say Ugh! Will see how it goes by summer?
