This is the thing, I used to own BMW and Chrysler stuff, but moving to owning Toyotas it opens my eyes to how reliable these things are, they are harder to kill than cockroaches LOL I don't care if people say Toyotas are boring, they are beautiful to me because they serve me well.
It's really not surprising, that is in a good way. There's a reason why all Taxi's use these same cars. I've seen people in my region say "well, a Camry is nice, I don't know about you but I don't want to drive a Taxi vehicle" Seen many of them easily always with over 500,000(KM's), and it's a rule that they should be decomm'd by the time they reach 600,000 to keep the fleet up to date or something (yeah our government rules are a bit weird) But then, some of them get sold in the dark markets with modified meters and stuff, they still want to go for a while. They get abused like shit, they aren't driven softly at all.
@@hariranormal5584 ah yes.. my favourite country دار زايد in fact in Dubai, the DTC actually keep the Camrys until around 1,000,000km before being sold. If it's any earlier it's due to the age of the car or if it was in a crash.. Are you an Emirati?
@@aidan1585 No haha, not at all, just a expat but I've been here since 2011 almost I got told by the Abu Dhabi people that they are allowed to drive it till 600KKM, and they can extend it a bit more but no more than that. Perhaps RTA/DTC has different rules, I sometimes see used RTA cars with modified meters being sold. Because otherwise they can't be sold for so cheap for no reason I don't know how that works, I really like the Camry Hybrid's anyway I think it's practical, but it's not so "cheap"
I’m a huge car enthusiast and at 23 years of age, I can’t wait to make my purchase next year! A majority of people my age just look down on this type of cars due to it being boring. But some can’t seem to grasp the point that this type of car is meant for practicality and peace of mind. Even if the time does comes if I ever be able to afford a higher end dream car, I can’t imagine not having this car to serve my day to day life. I’ve had family members who have driven nearly Toyota’s their whole life and this video is just the icing on the cake that finally justified my purchase! Of course, it also applies to the owner on how he or she takes good care of her vehicle to make it last like you did! 😁
@@ArthropodSpidey The recalled engines are in Tundras. Very few actually failed. The Tacos are selling fast at my local dealer. They have a lot, but they turn over quickly.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q where do you live? saudi arabia? Or under a rock? All of Toyotas overpriced cars are doing low numbers. Do your research instead of saying BS and defending a company like a child. There is sales data and videos everywhere about it. Toyota sales have been declining steadily year over year.
Give a maintenance history. Transmission services, oil changes, etc. If this has made it 400k on the original transmission fluid then you have a unicorn vehicle.
Crazy to think about, this is the first year of these new redesign models, A25A engines were just came out, and this one made in USA, FANTASTIC machine, my mom has 2021 and my brother has 21 venza, both have A25A engine
I love these kinds of videos. True testament to how great Toyota vehicles are if you just take care of them. And you obviously take good care of your car. The A25A engine is going to be one of Toyota's legendary engines. Just curious what your maintenance schedule is. Like how often do you change your oil. I'm sure it's going to be different than the average guy since you put miles on so fast. And how many transmission fluid changes and coolant changes have you done? Also do you believe in using OEM fluids, or do you just use whatever you think is good? Just curious. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. 👍
I bought a 2018 Hyundai Sonata, which made in Korea.And I have to say, despite your honest (and usually spot-on) opinions about Hyundai, mine has been an absolute warrior! This car has crossed 200,000 miles in only six years, going through daily, heavy usage in some of the hottest, most mountainous terrains on Earth. I drive it every day with my family, and it’s been a dependable, powerful companion, carrying us safely on countless journeys. Every time I turn that key, it fires up like the first day, even after all the wear and tear. You always talk about reliability, and I think you’d be surprised at just how well my Sonata has held up. It’s more than just a car to me-it’s been my partner in the daily grind, in life’s ups and downs. Challenge me on this one, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how my Sonata has defied the odds. Btw Original Engine and Transmission thank due to Allah..
If you take care of maintenance then any car can last long. Some cars may take more maintenance some less but every car needs to be maintained properly to keep going.
lets fucking gooo brother road to 500k i'm still rocking with you! i'm only at 40k miles I have a long way to go, but glad to know what this car is capable of
Thanks for the videos man! Tow hitch used before transmission replacement? Did you have the dealer replace transmission? Ball park of what we should expect to spend?
Tow hitch was used for towing atv on a trailer. No, I replaced the transmission at a transmission shop with a transmission from junk yard. Cost about $4400 out the door.
I just hit 60K in our Armada today. My Mazda3 has 136K and you wouldn't be able to tell that it's a 2012. Nasty exhaust leak though so it sounds like crap. Getting that fixed soon.
I have a 2018, same model. Had to replace water pump at ~80k miles and o2 sensor recently at ~140k miles. I change oil myself every 5k miles and have transmission fluid drain and fill and dealer every 50k. Wonder if you ever needed a repair other than the transmission?
Definitely interested in seeing what becomes of the P0420 code that you are getting intermittently. How many times have you changed your spark plugs in the 400,000 miles?
I have a question. I have the same car as you and I was wondering did you ever had an check engine light regards to the transmission or did you ever get a transmission fluid service done to the car?
I had 3 transmission fluid services done before my transmission went out. No, I didn’t have a check engine light that lead to a transmission failure. The only way I knew my transmission was gone is when it started shuttering (vibrating seriously) and when the dealership said “you need a new transmission” and of course I asked how much would a new one be they said “around $8k”.
That’s not purple, the light makes it look purple but in reality it’s blue. You can however change the digital info screen to different colors through the steering wheel settings.
First transmission fluid change I did was at around 120k. You should be fine until 250k before transmission issues. Is yours a v6? And do you do a lot of stop and go driving?
It’s would be great to know what maintenance was done. How often do you change oil, transmission fluid, etc.… what wear parts were replaced control arm bushing, wheel bearings, etc.
Most of the older Toyotas didn’t make it to 200k miles. Now they are lasting 500k miles of hard taxi duty. They don’t build them like they used to. Thank Gosh.
Always been a German car guy. My 2013 VW broke during covid at 350,000 miles. Part unavailable. So I cracked and bought a 2021 Prius Prime Limited. Decent tech, INSANE gas mileage but I sold it after 2 months. The thing was a tin can. Road noise was crazy loud and the interior was beyond cheap. If Toyota could fix those two things they'd be great.
Change the spark plugs and the oxygen sensor in front of the catalytic converter to help prolong life of the converter and maybe make the P0420 code go away. Use Denso brand parts.

Yea I did all of those things. Probably changed half of the car already lol
Definitely interested in seeing what becomes of the P0420 code that you are getting intermittently. How many times have you changed your spark plugs in the 400,000 miles?
Not too often tbh but I’m looking into it soon
I wonder if the 6 cylinder in this generation would last that long
I wouldn’t know, but I’m sure if the maintenance is done right, the car will last a lifetime
I4s even in turbo form tend to outlast V6s.
Here i was wondering if the newer Camrys would hold up. I guess i got my answer. My response.. DAAMN!. I'm looking at camrys.
Lol right on ✊
I got my 2020 with 180k miles . I drove Lyft initially and then travel alot
Did you ever do any transmission fluid changes or flushes? Mine is at 145k and I haven’t touched that yet.
Great Info, I would like tknow what is your oil change interval ?
Every 5k miles
How on earth is your milage that high in such a short amount of time!??

lol, dude 100,000 miles per year for 4 years running? what on earth do you do for work?
He’s a rideshare driver. He talks about Lyft in the video.
My 2019 Camry only has 40k miles lol. 0 problems so far. the thing is perfect.
Yeah you still have a long way to go! 😂
What oil do u use and change intervals?
0w-16 and every 5k miles
That’s 🔥🔥
At what mileage did you replace the transmission? I have a 2020 xse I’m sitting at 108.000 and need a new transmission
First transmission fluid change I did was at around 120k. You should be fine until 250k before transmission issues. Is yours a v6? And do you do a lot of stop and go driving?

Dam this camry almost made it to the moon and back 😂
Let’s hope it can take me back home as well lol
Any major replacement in your car like fuel pump, Maf sensor, starter or other stuff from the engine in 400k miles?
No engine parts beside alternator. Coolant bypass valve. Battery. I think that’s about it for the engine
What kind of oil you use? 0w-16?
Yes factory spec. 0w-16
It’s would be great to know what maintenance was done. How often do you change oil, transmission fluid, etc.… what wear parts were replaced control arm bushing, wheel bearings, etc.
I’ll look into making a video on it
I got a 2018 xse Camry got it at 132k miles clean title I got 139k miles right everything is great just had to install a new water pump .
Sounds like you’re off to a good start!
How does anyone drive that many miles in that time. Did they drive night and day?
Uber... Road trips no rental...😂
Mostly daytime sometimes at night 😁
400k? i MEAN, it's just BARELY broken in, right?
For sure lol 👍
love it

He'd be better off just replacing the sensor, deleting the cat, and carrying on with life.
check engine light would stay on if he did that. Code would be different, but it would still be on.
