Cruiser- I'm so glad there's someone on this forum that uses logic and deductive reasoning to see through all the Toyota emotionally-attached BS many are spouting out here. There will most definitely be more than 20 affected engines; how many it will be should be very concerning to all current owners. Anyone who understands large corporations and how they operate should know very well their skill at damage control and spin. Leading the public to believe that Toyota feels the number is very small is very irresponsible and not a good showing of corporate governance or accountability in my opinion.

I have read about two cases of blown engines on this site alone, are we to believe 2 of the 20 affected engines, given that Toyota says they own a number of the affected vehicle themselves, just happen to belong to people on this forum? Common sense says no, considering many truck owners do not spend time on internet forums like this.

And to the guy that says Toyota will put you up in the Ritz Carlton BFE when you break down there (btw-Ritz Carlton doesn't usually have properties in BFE towns), I will believe that when you show me proof in my warranty where it stipulates free accomodations after roadside assistance. And even if they did, I would not be happy sitting in BFE on I-75 in 90 degree heat waiting to be towed, both truck and trailer.

I've owned Toyota trucks more on than off since 1990, and have had nothing but positive things to say about the company and products. That has changed drastically with the way this is being handled. From the customer experience line being useless, to multiple people at the dealership in Tampa, FL (Stadium) telling me as recent as June 1st they "were not even aware of the situation" to the corporate communications I see posted out here, I am very disappointed in Toyota overall. Unless they come out with more useful information on affected trucks ASAP and a plan of action, my next truck will be a Titan or Sierra. I'll take small recall issues that allow me to continue driving to the nearest dealer over major engine stopping problems any day.
