At 180K, my Toyota V6 pickup had gone through two headgaskets, the 2nd exhaust system was starting to rust, the manual windows mechanisms needed frequent unjamming, the cruise had stopped working, the driver's seat fabric vinyl had split from wear, and the body was quite rusty. And of course there had been normal maintenance items.. brakes, shocks, filters, balljoints, etc. It was not abused.
My OG9-3 has had fewer issues at now similar miles, and despite being in the rust belt for longer, the body is in much better shape and the exhaust is original (other than 1 flex pipe).
Don't get me wrong: I loved the truck and Toyota pickups in general (I've had a couple). It felt like it would run forever (barring headgaskets). But the 'Toyotas are reliable and cheap to run' card is way overplayed, in my book.
