Turbo/Hybrid good for longevity and reliability?

Yeh the Saudi's blatantly said their profits need to be higher and will raise prices. Insane. A BEV Taco can't come fast enough!

 

Yeah with Russian supply taken out, and ever unpredictable OPEC, the next ten years don’t look too good. US onshore will hold steady for a while, insulating the US. We’re probably ok through 2024, but beyond that expect a rise.

Supply won’t even drive the initial petrol price increases, it will be refining demand. We have very little ability to increase refining capacity.

 

Yeh I saw that about refineries. Like 3 major refineries operations paused during COVID and they won't reopen them. Guess it's easier to charge more

 

Yep. Gas will be about $3.40-3.60 for the next couple years, then creep up past $4.00.

 

I'm in NJ, at $3.29 right now. Luckily I have a Honda Civic at about 28 mpg. Looking to get an EV Motorcycle I hope. Or build one. lol Maybe make my Civic a turbo/hybrid

 

Man I wish gas would go down to $4.00 a gallon.

 

You are the only one in this thread that has told people not to buy a new Tacoma. No one else. I am voicing my concerns which are totally valid and you are quoting me and disproving nothing I have said. I am pretentious? You are calling people jealous for asking reasonable questions. Hilarious.

 

ConocoPhillips will be pumping oil out of Alaska for the next decade when ever that gets rolling. I can't recall if that oil is destined for the US market, but I'm pretty sure it is. It will still need to be refined.

People should be buying Escalade ESVs not EVs.

 

I suggested people to not buy the Tacoma IF they think the turbo/hybrid system is not reliable. You have told people, without evidence, that the Toyota turbo/hybrid system is not good in the long run and unreliable. Please post your evidence to your claim. I have stated many times, but you can't seem to comprehend, that they should be as reliable as any other Toyota powertrain based on Toyota's proven reliability of both systems. Again, please prove that a turbo/hybrid system from Toyota may possibly be less reliable and not last as long.

 

Unbelievable. There are people who get 200-300K out of their Tacoma with very little out of pocket cost. There is plenty of past evidence that you will have to replace a turbo after 150K or 200K. Same goes for hybrid batteries. Why is this so hard for you. You sure you know the definition of longevity? Not putting a ton of money in to get you to 200-300K is a huge part of what most consider when thinking of longevity. Wow.

 

But you still have not shown data, links, a spreadsheet, anything to support your claim the Toyota hybrid/turbo is unreliable and will not have a long life.

 

‘You need a spreadsheet to understand that most turbos last 150K? And you even said yourself in this thread one might have to replace the battery pack once over the life of the truck. So what are talking about. Flailing at this point.

 

Yes I'm not denying batteries and turbos go bad. You seem to not be mature enough to make a claim like you did and back it up. I was hoping you'd post something when you started this thread. But that won't happen and you know why.

 

This is comical. You admit you know turbos and batteries go bad but need further proof? Holy cow. How can longevity not be affected in a negative way if new parts never used in Tacoma before go bad before the motor. Didn’t have to worry about this before. Sinking in yet?

 

You're very odd, you seem to focus on gotcha stuff when they aren't. You seem that you have to always be right. When did I say turbos and batteries didn't go bad? Again you're moving the goalpost and still have not backed up your claim and really have no clue why you can't. Then you put in these one liners at the end like it's supposed to affect me somehow? It must be hard to always be right and never admit you're wrong. You gotta get help on that one.

 

Can you provide us with some of your research on how you came to that conclusion?

 

Exactly my point he doesn't get.

 

I have known plenty of people who have had to replace turbos in the 120K-170K range. I have know people who had to replace battery packs between 150K-200K. Pretty simple. Not to mention this is common knowledge to many.

 

Everybody can read your last half dozen post to me where you basically said nothing of substance. Disproved nothing I said. Just I am this or that. What a joke.

 

OKay, were they the Toyota VGT/single turbo's coupled with a 1.3Kwh hybrid NImh pack? Or a VGT/twin turbo coupled with a 1.3Kwh hybrid NImh pack?
