Many consider Toyota to be the pioneer of hybridization, with it being the first brand to ever introduce a mass-market gasoline-electric product to the world . It's no surprise that this historic Japanese brand enjoys some of the best-performing hybrid options in the new car market. As of the first half of 2024, there's one particular hybrid vehicle option that outsells the rest of its range by a massive margin. It may not be as popular as the all-new Honda CR-V Hybrid, but its monthly and year-to-date performance is nothing to take lightly.

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner Just Got a Massive Delay

Toyota has issued a major recall of its twin-turbocharged V-6 engines powering the 2022 and 2023 Tundra pickup trucks and Lexus LX SUVs. Engines produced between late 2021 and early 2023 might have machining debris left in the engine; causing engine knocks or, worse cases, a spun bearing and complete engine stall. At first, Toyota was unsure how many engines were contaminated, but now, months later, the solution is to replace more than 100,000 engines.

Last spring, I drove several different Lexus and Toyota crossovers and SUVs, seemingly in anticipation of the arrival of a GX 550 Overtrail+. I’d been thinking it might be time to move on from my own GX, and driving the new one would be a big push in that direction.

There are safety recalls, and then there are really time-consuming, expensive safety recalls. Toyota is experiencing the latter, having discovered earlier this year a defect in its twin-turbocharged V-6 truck engines that power the Tundra pickup truck as well as Lexus's LX luxury SUVs—at least, those 2022 to 2023 model-year variants built between November 2021 and February 2023 (or the same model years built between July 2021 and November 2022 for the LX). The issue can cause the engine stall unexpectedly; per Toyota's NHTSA recall notices to dealers:
