i used to work on toyota for over 2 years. The only things that went wrong on them was the rear leaf springs used to crack/snap the spider joints/uj,s used to wear out and the pistons in the front calipers used to seize also the discs used to score badly. Apart from that they were ok.

Funnily enough I was watching Dave this afternoon when they were trying to break their Hilux.

The 2.4 engines were farily prone to head gasket failure, the 3.0 engines were bullet proof but the 2.4's were never as good.
