    Hello all!
    New to the forum, and i'm going to purchasing a new toco, could anyone tell me if they heard of engine issues? Camshafts breaking to be exact. I know about the trans shifting issues, but is the new 3.5 solid?

    That's what i'm trying to verify.. a toyota tech said that they had a bunch of issues, and mentioned cams breaking! Can't find anyone mentioning that at all!

    I personally haven't heard of that. Don't know much about the new ones... but my 08 with 160,000 still running strong. Only engine code I got was a leak in my gas cap after I put a locking cap on...
