Potential Electrical Issues:
Occasional issues with window regulators, door lock actuators, or minor sensor failures reported in some units. Wiring harness integrity is crucial for 4WD systems.
Engine Considerations:
The 3SZ-VE engine is generally reliable, but proper maintenance is key. Timing chain wear can occur over very high mileage, though less common than belts. Coolant leaks from gaskets or hoses are possible if maintenance is neglected.
Transmission Considerations:
Automatic transmissions can benefit from regular fluid changes to maintain longevity. Manual transmissions are robust but clutch wear is normal with use.
