I guess I look at it differently. Yes, I wish the window regulator was not so flimsy, but I know they have to make things lighter such as aluminum hoods, etc in order to get the mpg. I really feel that my truck has been pretty good. All I have replaced in 99,400 miles and 5 years, is a wheel bearing and a regulator. Of course, there was regular maintenance stuff.

i wasnt planning on telling him of course. im not a fan of toyotas either, but their windows work, as well as spark plugs dont get stuck, ect,ect. but i do understand that nothings perfect.
