Are Toyota trucks good

When new from the factory they are certainly popular. Toyota is the world's second largest car and truck manufacturer. I am not going to give my personal opinion here since I don't want to be partial. As for your question, much depends on what you mean by "good". I am sure that you will get different answers from different people when you ask this question. An old truck that has been treated badly will not be "good" in any sense, regardless of the manufacturer. An old truck that has been well maintained is harder to find, but that older truck will be "good" regardless of the producer. The biggest producers of trucks are, to name only some, GM, Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Isuzu, Mazda and others. These producers are all "good" in the sense that they aim for high quality and good performance. I doubt that there is any truck on the market that is "not good" as that truck would very soon disappear from the streets as nobody would buy them. There is a lot of what I would almost call "superstition" when it comes to which truck model is a person's favorite model. It all depends on individual taste and character and what one is looking for in a truck. Gasoline or diesel engine, 2wd or 4wd, 2 door or 4 door etc. The list of accessories is potentially endless.

I own and operate a smog shop in Sacramento, Ca. The vehicle manufacture with the highest percentage of vehicles that pass their biennial emissions test is Toyota, hands down. I have seen pickups with over 300,000 miles on them passing their emissions test with the engine and catalytic converter that it came from the factory with. There is no other vehicle manufactured that can even hold a candle anywhere close to this. Our domestically produced vehicles are right in the middle of the pack with all German produced vehicles sweeping out the basement.
