    Hi I have an obligation to inform: The plugs that you buy from a parts store made by bosch are NOT a replacement for toyota once installed the the truck misfired on multiple cylinders and the dash lit up lit a pinball machine. The truck had to be taken to a shop to be removed and replaced with oem which made it run dreamy again. I contacted bosch and explained that i had no reciept the 50 bux spent on the plugs was the least of my problems when hit with the shop bill. Bosch said they needed a receipt im sorry i just dont understand that it because they clearly say Bosch on the plug. I cant understand a company that wont back up its product. Bosch stopped talking to me and left me with a "sorry cant help you" lol how do companies get away with that ....Bosch allows there part number to be a compatible replacement plug. Will never understand how a company seems successful until you learn that your loss is there gain.

    Welcome to TW, sorry to hear about your troubles...I don't think Bosch branded anything works well with Toyotas. I know that Bosch sensors are to be avoided, I'll add their spark plugs to the list of things to avoid too

    Welcome to TW! Denso or NGK plugs are best for our trucks.
