I loved your podcast. Years ago I was a novice salesman at a midwestern Toyota dealership. Your accurate report hit home with me. The allocation of vehicles did not meet the customer demand. I was there during the introduction of the Rav 4. We generally received one or two transports of Vehicles each week. We would watch a transport pull into the drive then go behind the dealership to unload. All present salesmen would run out of their tiny offices, out the back door, run to the now parked transport. We would physically climb onto the trailer and inspect the sticker on each vehicle before unloading. Run like hell back to our office, pull out our " UP" file box and start calling customers. It was friggn nuts, we never could not get enough cars!

@@largol33t12 The irony is that the floor mat recall was a ploy to hide the fact that Toyota knew that their accelerator pedal assembly was the culprint for many unintended acceleration casualties. Documents from the Japanese wing of Toyota showed that there were communications discussing a defect with the pedal assembly that would cause it to get stuck in a depressed state. Since those vehicles didn't have a brake override feature, the brakes would lose power due to a lack of intake manifold vacuum since the throttle was stuck nearly wide open. There was a reason why Toyota was fined $1 billiion over the floor mat BS. The feds knew the Toyota was intentionally deceiving the public and regulators when they created that floor mat recall. Just like they were sued and lost a $3.6 billion dollar lawsuit back in 2016 because Toyota knew for years that their truck frames were rotting out prematurely. It was a problem even back during the 1st gen Tacoma.

Two things about Toyota. The sad elephant in the room is the Chinese car market, which is, by far, the largest in the world. ALL THE Legacies used it as a Cash Cow, because the Chinese car-buyers loved Legacies, and - for years, the Chinese domestics weren’t of high quality. Now, (like it or not) the Chinese are making excellent vehicles, mostly BEVs and Hybrids or plug-ins, due to significant anti-ICE dis-incentives. Ergo, Legacy sales have tanked, and the loss of income is significant. Second, Toyota is burdened with DEBT, and have recently borrowed even more. Toyota used-to-be THE Hallmark for product quality and manufacturing efficiency. Unfortunately, “old-school hubris” has done them no favors, and they have been too slow to adapt to an obvious disruption in the transportation sector. Nobody should be happy about any of this: It’s a disaster for a lot of working people. Brandon, you always explain things very well. Love both of your channels, and enjoy your interviews. 👊👍👍🫵

Less than 2 years later the transmission went. I should've known better because they really pressed on me to buy that Camry saying it was the best used car they had on the lot. I will never do business with Koch 33 Ford/Toyota in Easton, PA again. Tried to buy a transmission online but they weren't readily available anywhere in the country and wanted to charge me over $7,000 for a new transmission. No thanks.

Actually, this is a part of the problem. Americans keep their cars for 2.5x-3x longer than, say, Japanese. Manufacturers are trying to make the new car not as long-lasting - that's why they are making turbos, not so much because of emissions regulations. That's a spiral: people holding on to their reliable durable vehicles with low book trade-in value; manufacturers trying to sell ever-less-reliable ever-less-durable ever-more-expensive vehicles to them. Something's gotta give! And it did. Chinese came up with methods to make vehicles providing 2x-3x value (either non-durable yet dirt-chip, or decently durable yet sensibly priced). But of course letting Chinese into the American market would kill off the domestic manufacturers, thus the prohibitive tariffs on Chinese cars in the US.

Dealerships are loan brokers, just like universities. When auto loans went from max 3-5 year loans to 6, 7, 9, it inflated the pricing because they can sell larger loans with smaller payments. I’m gen x and remember when you could only get 3 year loans, then 5 came. The long financing caused inflation on the prices. Like universities went from 7 year to 20 year loans.

@@dvaritek434 That's mostly a myth. 2020 Tundra ~ 14 MPG. 2024 Tundra ~ 17 MPG. The difference, about 19%, can be explained not so much by cutting number of cylinders and adding turbo as by adding direct fuel injection, which typically gives such improvement in MPG. Toyota - and others - could have reduced the V8 engine displacement a bit, and just move to dual injection, keeping the engine naturally aspirated. But then they'd end up with an engine lasting 250,000+ miles. What a horror! No, their bean counters tell them, even on a work truck, the engine must not last long beyond the typical financing term.

I was going to upgrade my 2013 Tacoma this year to a Tundra, but Toyota dropped their V8 from the Tundra. I need my truck to work for me, tow a bigger boat and loads of firewood, but not with the complicated turbocharged V6 they come with now. Looking at other brands now.

I bought a new Highlander XLE AWD in 2015 for $36k. Drive it over 200k miles, and sold it for $11,500. I wanted to replace it with a Hybrid Highlander last year. I was told it would be $55k. $20k more. I ended up buying a Grand Highlander Hybrid for the same price. I think much of it has to do with all the new tech on board. So much more complicated, because every company thinks they need keep up. Truth is most of the tech goes unused.

The problem all the companies have is they build trucks and cars with too much unnecessary garbage. All the modules and electrical mess in the cab that only young people can comprehend how to operate. None of older crowd wants this junk. They need to build a simpler vehicle that is 25k cheaper at least. Needs a seat, steering wheel and ac. Maybe a radio, not a big screen tv.

Mazda is eating Toyota's lunch these days. They almost went under some time ago, and it appears all the "fat cats" departed from the management - there was nothing to appropriate for them, and nobody would give Mazda a large loan. So, Mazda had to find out what the customers want, and to deliver. Not right away, not without fail, yet they are definitely trying hard. Toyota's management, on the other hand, kept living large, and borrowing huge amounts of money. Their debt is approaching a quarter TRILLION dollars now! They still remain Toyota, a company with a culture of quality, yet being able to borrow so heavily distorted their customer focus quite a bit. Test-drove the latest Lexus RX 350h this weekend. Tons of bells and whistles! Yet its large screen is glossy and reflects like crazy - you can't see sh*t in sunglasses. We have owned Lexus vehicles for over a quarter of century now, and still do. Yet 2024 is not a year of Lexus Total Quality anymore. They better change their attitude, and pronto! For a contrast, test-drive upper trims of Mazda CX-90, or even previous-generation CX-9. Not as flashy, but everything is ergonomic and everything works well. Driving dynamics is ridiculously more attractive than that of competing Lexus. And shall I mention the real street prices the Mazdas are going for, compared to the Lexus?

best part is that the dealers are only offering trades at wholesale repo prices. I bought my 4runner from this exact dealership and they spit in my face when I offered to buy a second vehicle from them (LandC). Dealers are cooked if they dont want to follow KBB.
