Looking at Toyota and GMC medium trucks with the turbos, anyone have experience with these ? The Toyota has a good rating, not sure on the GMC. The Tacoma is 2.4L and Canyon is the 2.7L. There are some 2023 Tacoma's out there.

I’ve always lived by the motto “ain’t no replacement for displacement” but with that said the 4cylinder turbos have been reliable. The 6s are up for debate. The ecoboost have been so so. The yodas haven’t had enough time. I would go with a 2022 or older v6 Tacoma. That’s just my 2 cents
They did this in the 80s. Didn't work out too well. I figure the same today. Stick with the ole tried and true. The new stuff seems to have real quality control issues. Find yourself a good older truck and drive it. Far fewer headaches and a better investment
Short answer hell no
Gettin' there..
And if you're changing your own oil, fill the new filter up with oil before you install it. It's so the turbo doesn't run without oil when you first crank it up after change.
From what I read, guys were saying for with a Frontier V6
I bought in Nov 2023 the last year of the 6 liter, didn't want a 2.7 liter that's all jacked up with turbo. 6 liter is the best motor Toyo ever made. Take care of it and it will last a life time. Oil change every 5000 mile.
If you struggle with upkeep and maintenance then you’d better think twice. Modern turbo engines with phasers dont fair well if ignored. And if you’re ignorant/gullible enough to rely on the oil change light, you’ll end up meeting uncle RODney before you’ve made your last payment.
