Shopping for a new car, truck, or SUV? Odds are, you’ve got a Toyota somewhere on your list. And why not? After all, Toyota offers some of the most reliable and sought-after vehicles out there. Whether it’s the Toyota Tacoma or the Toyota Camry that’s on your list, you really can’t go wrong with a car from this brand. But how many miles can you actually expect a Toyota to last? 

Are Toyotas really that reliable?

If you want a reliable car, you can’t go wrong with a new Toyota. In fact, according to Consumer Reports, Toyota is the second most reliable brand you could shop these days. For one of the most reliable Toyota models, consider a vehicle like the Toyota Prius, which Consumer Reports gave a five out of five predicted reliability rating. And if the Prius isn’t quite your style? Consider the Toyota Camry, which Consumer Reports also gave a perfect score.

Fortunately, it’s not just Toyota’s lineup of sedans that scored promising reliability ratings. Take, for instance, the Toyota 4Runner, which Consumer Reports gave a five out of five predicated reliability rating. Or the Toyota Highlander which Consumer Reports gave a slightly lower, but still impressive, four out of five predicted reliability rating.
