    I've been thinking about rebadging my 2013 v6 DCSB 4x4. Will Toyoda use that as an excuse to void The remaining warrantee on my taco?

    It's 'Toyota' not 'Toyoda', and as long as whatever you do does not cause any problems, it should not void your warranty...

    Rebadge it to what?

    It's your truck and you can do what you wish to it, but are you adding TRD stickers or a Volvo emblem?

    It definitely will not void your warranty and technically he is right. It was Toyoda, they changed it to Toyota.

    "Vehicles were originally sold under the name "Toyoda" (トヨダ), from the family name of the company's founder, Kiichirō Toyoda."

    "In September 1936, the company ran a public competition to design a new logo. Of 27,000 entries, the winning entry was the three Japanese katakana letters for "Toyoda" in a circle. But Risaburō Toyoda, who had married into the family and was not born with that name, preferred "Toyota" (トヨタ) because it took eight brush strokes (a lucky number) to write in Japanese, was visually simpler (leaving off the diacritic at the end) and with a voiceless consonant instead of a voiced one (voiced consonants are considered to have a "murky" or "muddy" sound compared to voiceless consonants, which are "clear")."

    It was meant to sound sarcastically just like the Lazy American English is sounding. Brits English is better and acurate. Thanks for the Taco warrantee info.
