When the topic of reliability comes up, its doesn't take long until the name Toyota is mentioned. Whether its million mile Tundras, indestructible Supras, your grandpas Corolla that just wont die even though the oil hasn't been changed in 5 years. many manufacturers make a reliable car here and there or maybe and era of reliable cars, but few OEMs make as many tried and true cars as Toyota. So what's their secret? in this video Nolan explains exactly what Toyota has done to make reliable car after reliable car. We take an in depth look at the concepts of Jidoka, Kaizen, and JIT. Don't know what that means? then you've got a video to watch!

There is a book called the "Toyota way" that you guys should go take a look. The general idea is "Lean" assuming that's the same idea they implement to run the city.
That city they are working on sounds like a Japanese version of the original idea for EPCOT lol.
Toyota, the only place I worked where they asked me to slow down! Kaizen is the real deal.
5:43 are you gay?
6:50 in Russia we actually say "measure 7 times - cut once" Our cars are still shit though
The company I work for subscribes to the Kaizen philosophy sort of. I came up with a way to aid those in part of the production line by using a inexpensive tool, but no one has come back to me nor implemented my simple idea of using a tool to aid in the production and assembly of the products we produce. Many companies I have worked for claim to use this philosophy but use it half-heartedly.
While I have never owned a Toyota, "Honda Fan Here," I have driven Toyota's before, but if someone said they were interested in a Toyota I would tell them to go for it they are Stone Cold reliable as well as Honda's. My 2004 CR-V is reliable as a rock and has nearly 200,000 miles on the clock growing up running that many miles on original components would be a miracle, but with Toyota's and Honda's it's commonplace unfortunately since I live in the place where we use salt in the winter there are areas of the car that are beginning to rust. Rust has been an issue for Toyota in the past thankfully they have remedied that issue.
D4D is a legend 🏆
As someone who works as a bmw assembler I can tell you we DO NOT practice kaizen. Management loses their minds if you stop the line.
most manufacturers can do it if they r willing to
Is that why they haven't shown us the GR86 yet? After watching this, I don't mind haha
Damn they really didn’t mention the 2UR-GSE 🥱
What about them crashes. Not built for those. No sir
My honda has 235k miles.
That is wrong definition of Just-in-Time. JIT refers to parts being delivered just in time...saving on warehouse costs.
Why do other car companies have soooo many different parts. They design a new oil filter for every car! I always thought they were retaded.
Why wouldn't you send the GR Yaris here? AWD?! 250+HP?! I want that car.
He did not just say that ex comment
Overcomplex, not overbuilt. A close friend who has been a Toyota tech for the past 15 years broke this down for me. Yes, Toyotas are overbuilt, yes they are more reliable. However, their engineers have made the vehicles increasingly complex in order to keep dealership service departments in business. 20+ billable hours to replace a Tundra steering assembly, 3 billable hours to replace a Prius headlamp bulb. My friend makes a very good living, thanks to Toyota!
Wish Nissan would follow suit 😣, literally most of my cars are from the mid early 2000’s but after that Nissan got shittier
So... Toyota is basically real life Arasaka corpo...oh boy
where is the other host ? the Loud and funny one. what happened to him?
900th dislike!!!
lol I was about to like but it was at 899 💀
At which minute is the prius mentioned?
My family has a Toyota Sequoia that they got the year I was born and it now has almost 600,000mi on it without a rebuild and the compression is still within spec with one cylinder being at the bottom end of spec. Although it does have another issue I believe it's related to the spark plugs. Instead of fixing it my parents just bought another Sequoia 400k miles now and that seems to be working well.
if you wanna learn more about kaizen, read “the compound effect”
Looking back to the 80's when the Japanese brands really had a stranglehold on the american compact car market (which turned them into the juggernauts they are today), the Japanese (particularly Toyota and Honda) really locked down 3 things that the Americans struggled with at the time. They had superior manufacturing quality and tolerances, superior materials and better overall engineering.
I have a 3.4L Petrol v6 Hilux with 270kms on the dial. That thing runs like an absolute dream. When i drag my mates with 4wds I always win, its such a bitey powerful engine.
Unless its a 2017+ Highlander or Sienna, 2018 Camry, 2016 Rav4 transmission.
Give us a damn manual 😭
Toyota loves BROWN BORING CARS
Ya right BORING CARS LOL
Because they keep making Boring Camrys
and.................. they still failed the new supra.
I just wish they made the cars a bit more...interesting. I've never "WANTED" a Toyota
My Toyota probox is probably the most boring toyota and tortures my back on long drive. All the allocated car maintenance cost goes to my chiropractor
as a lean manufacturing engineer who worked for Toyota for 7 years, I must say you are quite off on the Just in Time and Kaizen but good try.
Everybody ever: Toyotas are ridiculously reliable!!! Me: Our Japan-built '08 Highlander Sport 4WD has had nothing but Toyota dealer service, ON schedule, and currently has 215K miles. After the factory warranty ended, we've enjoyed an exploding transmission (gears and oil on the ground) @ 165K ($5K repair - ouch), failed rear driveshaft, failed clock spring (coiled wire tape for steering wheel controls), leaking A/C condenser, blown external (why why why) rubber VVT oil hose (lucky a driver nearby noticed our oil vapor on the highway!), 4 failed armrests in the door cards... Those are the big ones.
Yeah and everyone told me BMWs are the most unreliable cars around and yet every one I had never failed.
toyota: go on, try to fight me. Time: Uhhhhhhh
Toyota cars are reliable ,here in india toyota innova crossed over 800k km and still running smoothly
FYI, JIT (Just In Time) is about keeping low stock, until needed, rather than trying up capital in stagnant inventory. TCO - if you compare a low-end Corolla to a premium Infinity that costs twice as much, of course annual cost will be higher - you would be better to use a comparable model, such as the Nissan Sentra, or Honda Civic for comparison.
Donut has an Only Fan's :)
i know someone that worked on the assembly line at Toyota , and the reality is not what this video is saying, stopping the line was almost impossible, no way u could take a bathroom break during ur shift, people burning out and getting injured. on the assembly line u r treated like a robot.
10:22 is why I won't buy from Toyota. 282 HP from a V8? What is this, 1978? the 5.0 in my V8 puts out 650 hp and 610 ft lb of torque (supercharged). Will it break faster than the Toyota? Probably, but I only have 1 life and Id rather my truck do 0-60 in 4 seconds than 7-8 seconds. Just buy a new one when it breaks, what else are you going to do with the money you make? Pay for kids? No thanks. Now, make a reliable V8 that puts out double that power and we can talk about a purchase.
Thats basically Toyota's recipe, take old shit or big engines and detune them to barely make any power and attach a hybrid system to give it a little boost, I like my BMWs and BMW doesn't give a shit about reliability thats why their new M cars do 0-60 under 4 seconds lmfao, honestly its about maintenance, if you maintain a BMW well it would last as long as these Toyotas which are made for lazy people or people who don't give a shit about cars
Just needs a hybrid turbo
MORE TOYOTA VIDEOS PLEASE!!!
What’s there to be explained? They build cars properly from design through to engineering through to assembly. They over build and under tune. They know how to engineer, unlike the Americans, and they know how not to over engineer, unlike the Germans. Pretty basic stuff
Thats why they win at reliability and fail at everything else. Shitty tin can materials inside and out and poor performance. Honestly Honda > Toyota, but yeah if you don't care about cars and just want to get to A to B in peace then Toyotas are for you.
He said we can be as reliable as a Toyota but you will die a Toyota won’t
I think CDPR didn't follow how the japanese make cars
But what about the plants that are in Mexico now? What effect does that have on quality I’m wondering. Are the workers trained the same from step one?
This is also why Mazda has became the number 1 in reliability, the 2018 Mazda 3 Grand touring 2.5 liter made in Japan. They told Ford F. You and has taken the Toyota philosophy.
Toyotas get field tested in the middle east by terrorist.
When I want to stop or fix issue on my line (air condition) they make me feel like a bad guy. Boss only care about getting products out the door. So I let it go without saying anything again.
Kaizen is more about continuous improvement. Change for better is literally the google transaiton. Kaizen is more, to reach the big goals you continue to make small changes to improve. And a focus on the small improvements we make now not the big goal, continuously.
I like Toyota Because our old car literally had hundreds of donor cars they didn’t have to be the same models and they were abundant and they work
Well, the concepts looks good but they seems a little mixed up at times in the video, for example when you talked about stopping the production line that's not a Kaizen, it's part of the Jidoka process of each process having its own quality procedure and that's named: "Stop, Call and wait", indeed Toyota have Kaizen but that means that every employee can suggest an improvement, with the rule that if you suggest... You must participate in the solution design and implementation
Toyota's are reliable becaise designed for reliability.
so that's how Mt. Fuji got its name.... I learned something today
Lol 882 dummies.
Didn't Disney try this?
See me pass u With my Honda civic way 0ver 900hp Bet you with my SV650 (BUFFHORSE)
THESE 3. Channels are the best ..out there
ALSO GO CHECK OUT ( SCOTTY KILMER ) ALSO (YAMMIE NOOB) FOR ROCKETS🚀
GO CHECK OUT MORE THESE VIDEOS ..ALSO
LOOK EVERYONE SCOTTY IS HERE JAJAJAJJAJA. LOVE YOU SCOTTY ...
Who dislike this ..WHY WOULD YOU ... THESE VIDEOS ARE THE BEST ...
Toyota and cheap to maintain?... y'all never owned a hilux in the Caribbean.. lol...
So basically Toyota is the apple of the automotive world...
Don’t sleep on some of the run of the mil Toyota’s. An awd V6 RAV4 will go 13’s all day with a couple basic bolt ons and mid 14’s stock. 4 cylinder Camrys were powerful for their time too. There aren’t many naturally aspirated 4 cylinder family sedans making over 200 HP.
Can’t go wrong with Toyota, EVER! When I was a kid, the second family car was a 1994 Corolla. It ran so well. Such a smooth ride. My dream everyday driver is a 2007 to 2012 RAV4. Love that SUV.
Everyone just gonna ignore the joke about his ex
Good video but his just in time analogy is wrong. JIT is about the supply chain, you want the parts to arrive just in time. Why spend money on warehousing 1000s of parts if you can just get a delivery each day for the amount of cars your are building.
Scotty skilmer sent me here !!supra !!
Toyota suceeded by doing the exact opposite of what American car companies were doing.
Camry? Try 22R my friend. 9:10 Spoke too soon... 12:54 What?!?! but, but, but I want one!
6:12 made me think my headphones got unplugged :D
Don't buy Nissan. Nissan uses staples on plastic parts and velcro to hold it together, for example within the wheel well. I'm talking assemblies that require multiple parts manufactured at Nissan. (Im an employee in the automotive Industry that directly serves Nissan. )
I cant wait for their full EV cars, vans and trucks. Um a Heavy duty EV Tundra I can only dream
Waaaay too many commercial mentions. Broke up the continuity badly, and they ain't short. Else, thankyou. Toyoda Forever!
So for car guys who want speed...stat away got it
Toyota and Apple got a lot in common.
It's Entirely possible I give this video a like
Don't forget about the 3.4L reliability beast!
GM/BMW/Dodge/Range Rover haters will flood the comments with their “opinions”. Come-on... go ahead... you can’t resist.
I think the Ford ZX2's Zetec engine was pretty good. Or was that a Mazda engine?
Stop giving Toyota credit for the 1jz and 2jz both of the engines were engineered by Yamaha it's a common misconception that only the head was designed by Yamaha. still amazing engines don't get me wrong but Toyota did not design them.
Aren't all Japanese cars made in America though?
Designed and engineered in Japan. Manufactured over here in America. Only assembly work
‘94 ‘rolla baby! Woof Woof!
I'm the only one with bad luck. Toyota corola is the biggest crap in the las few years. And replacement parts are super expensive for a car than use plastic to keep parts on place. I just don't buy the idea . you can say in the 80 and 90 it was a good car but today mmmmm sorry. keep it for you.
4:00 Lexus RX 350?
I have an '86 Toyota 4x4 that I purchased new. Been through me, my Dad, my younger brother, back to my Dad and now back to me. Running rough right now, but it's still running with about 360+K on it. Still has original paint which is in great shape for its age. I can't wait to get it running right so it can be my everyday driver again!
8:36 GM seems to think that throwing away and starting over to reinvent the wheel is best practice
7:16 that and Toyota owns a stake in Subaru
4:00 That is an ES350, not an RX350; but, yes many parts are interexchangable.
I am a wholesaler who deals in 8 to 12+ year old cars or so regularly. I have been in the automotive field for 20 years and started the business 5 years ago..... I see a LOT of cars and test a lot of cars. I dont think people realize how unbelievably reliable they are. There is so little that fails its increible. When you factor in their inexpensive price... its truly shocking. Nothing is on their tier in the passenger car department. Not even honda. They are in a class on their own with no one near them and are very underrated/undervalued for how long they last but I see prices starting to catch up. Their batteries and battery systems last longer than anyone else as well..I could see a future where toyota is the only mass passenger car manufacturer. I would HIGHLY recommend investing in Toyota.
Bring back the Celica with a TOYOTA made engine. None of that subaru or bmw money pit crap!
Hey Toyota, what happened to your F1 team?
Too bad Toyota doesn't make full size pickup trucks
So I should go Toyota in the future. Their only problem historically in my book was boring looks. But that’s not a problem anymore. They managed to make their minivan look epic.
I'm not really a Toyota fan. I think too many of them are transportation appliances with all the cachet of a refrigerator (especially Camry and Corolla) , but I do like their pickups, the Tundra and Tacoma ..
