    Need to replace the thermostat and at Rock Auto prices vary from $15–$40. Recommendations for a reliable brand would be much appreciated. Dan

    You can get a OEM thermostat from Ebay for $45 shipped all day long. I would personally stick with OEM for cooling system components.

    Used Toyota or genuine equivalent. It’s not expensive.

    Above post was the decision that I faced when I replaced the thermostat (I went genuine Toyota) in my '09 in January as part of a complete cooling system rebuild.
