My Tundra will be 5 years old in the fall and has never required any
unscheduled maintenance. That is consistent with what we have have
become accustomed to with Toyotas and Hondas, and is worth a lot to
me. My youngest son is still driving our old '92 Camry every day in
NYC traffic. Almost 200,000 miles and it has never required any
unscheduled maintenance either, although it did need a radiator
replacement at one point.


One thing to consider... if Toyota does things like Honda used to, you
can have quite a bit of "unscheduled" maintenance on your Ranger
before it adds up to the "Scheduled" maintenance required for the
Honda. Is it the same for the Toyota? How much have you spent on
"scheduled maintenance"?

With the required maintenance on the only Honda I've ever owned, in
60,000 miles I had spent a LOT of money. The Ranger will require oil
and filter to kepp up the warranty.
