Over 1M 3rd Gen Tacomas - Perspective

With the 3.5L guys anyway, for the 2.7L guys it’s just a fact

 

what IF every time you went out with your SO there was a .2 % chance you would be struck by lightning, BUT you could reduce it to .0005% if you only went out on full moons but the .2% goes up to 80% when Saturn is at perigee unless its in a summer month than you need to know at what point humpback whales are in there migration...... what were we talking about?

 

Is she hot or is she marrying material... It matters.

 

It's a simple question. Would you date/marry a woman if the chances she were faithful were 99.8%?

 

what about my question?

 

You guys are trying to argue it into mootness with a billion variables. K.I.S.S.

Would you date/marry with those odds?

 

Bro dating is literally the opposite of K.I.S.S, it is quite possibly the most complex activity people engage in on a regular basis, and you want to dumb it down to a simple question?

 

Yes. That’s much better than the average I would say.

 

You're content to dumb down the mechanical complexity of a vehicle to a simple stat without taking into account any variables. That's perfectly acceptable, because this is all hypothetical internet theorizing. Overthinking and taking it all ultra serious is pointless here, but if you wish to delve that deeply into it, feel free. Please don't forget to do the same level of commitment, research, and questioning when deciding how to comment on a minimal level of engine failure on a vehicle.

 

For dating who cares if she’s faithful?Have some fun, if she cheats that’s perfect. Gets you a perfect out to move along to the next gal lol

 

Actually I've said no one has any idea of reliability but Toyota, even than the data would be quite incomplete, but feel free to try again. As for would I marry some based on a percent? Certainly not, I'm not a fan of predestination. Doubt kills a relationship harder than cheating, if I did marry someone based on a percent I would always doubt if I married them because of my feelings for them or for the simple guarantee of a stable relationship.

 

It’s more likely something other than the engine will fail on both. You share a majority of components with the v6 guys. Regardless the 2.7 is a great reliable motor, but not everyone wants to put up with its pathetic and dated power delivery.

 

Dude, I already know it’s gonna be, MAX, like 27%. And that’s probably just because of logistical challenges she faces.

 

Shouldn’t we be way over the 1.6 million mark if you account for all the 2GR-FKS engines in these models? I haven’t looked into the rate of failures or given issues on these vehicles but shouldn’t these be factored into the equation with our tacos to some degree?

• Toyota Tacoma;
• Toyota Highlander;
• Toyota Sienna;
• Toyota Camry;
• Toyota Alphard;
• Toyota Avalon;
• Lexus GS;
• Lexus RX;
• Lexus LS;
• Lexus IS;
• Lexus ES;
• Lexus RC;
• Lexus LM.

 

My thoughts as well. Thank you for answering.

So, let's draw a similar financial comparison. If you go big on a 3rd gen taco you're at the $50K-$55K mark, so that's the level of financial risk. It is significant, but not crippling. By contrast, let's stick to the financial risk of the infidelity; potentially raising a kid that isn't yours or divorce are the purely financial things that come to mind. Either would be far more costly than the Taco grenading. Speaking on a purely financial basis.

According to surveys and studies the risk of infidelity is significantly higher than that, and we still readily get into relationships that have much higher stakes.

This is, of course, dependent on the 1 in 500 failure rate, and I doubt it's actually that high.

 

It was for a very non specific hypothetical and, for the sake of making it something simple to digest, variables were limited. We all know that life, in all aspects, has many variables. To avoid analysis paralysis we streamline things on a daily basis. Trying to refute a question or point of view by moving the goalpost with a billion variables is a waste of time and does nothing to move the conversation forward. I didn't think I had to phrase a simple question in completely spelled out terms to get an answer, but I will.


Here goes.

For the sake of this purely hypothetical risk analysis experiment to determine what level of potential personal risk you may or may not be willing to take on, I would like to ask a yes or no question. To keep this in the spirit of the hypothetical question, please regard the risk as a solely financial situation. Emotional, health, and the myriad other possible factors should be excluded to the extent possible. The goal is to determine the financial risk acceptance so that it may be compared to other matters that have risk factors that are based primarily in the financial realm. This is purely a thought exercise to promote the viewing of situations through various lenses and to draw correlations that may not be immediately apparent to the individual being asked the questions.

Within the bounds of the financial, and only financial risks, would you date/marry a woman if it were 99.8% probably that she would be faithful?

 

FIFY, because women under-report (the rule of three). So, you take that number and multiply it by three.

 

Using the same hypothetical number that was presented for Gen 3 V6 engine failures. Can't play with it if you want to draw comparisons in hypothetical thought exercises.

 

So you're saying women are equally reliable as trucks?

 

Anything with tits or a motor will break your heart haha
