Doesn't matter, still driving up prices of old Toyota trucks and when you can say "hey look they last forever and don't depreciate much", it's easier to sell new trucks, even if they're mechanically very different.

So quick to disawov your knowledge of the English language! Hovewer, it can be owerpovering. The current heatvawe doesn't make it easier, either. But no reason to owerblov the situation, even if you'd get it wrong tvelwe times or so; not like a couple of dovnwotes matter.
