Your problems are why I have preferred Toyota cars and trucks over the years. I have never had to do anything other than scheduled maintenance with the 4 Toyota trucks and 3 Toyota cars and put more than a million combined miles on them.
I cannot say this about the Chevy, Dodge, and Ford trucks and SUV's that I have owned. Even minor problems required leaving the truck off at the dealer and sometimes multiple trips for the same problem. A while back I read about Jeep Cherokee owners having to make on average 8 trips to the dealers for repairs during the first year of ownership. The Toyota trucks have been rated number one in this area for the last 5 years in a row by JD Powers.
My current truck is a GM diesel but if Toyota sold a full size diesel powered truck I would have bought instead without a second thought.
