What will last longer? A 1989 Toyota Truck or a 1989 Lexus LS400
 

I have been wondering about this and a bunch of us at work were wondering about this question. What would last longer, a 1989 Toyota Truck or a 1989 Lexus LS400

seems like we were all split 50/50

I would say it depends on how well the car/truck was taken care of and how it was driven by the owner(s).

Ok, lets say both were maintained equally well at the same Lexus/Toyota split dealer.....

Lets also say that the Toyota was driven moderately rough (off-road etc) while the Lexus was driven fast (lots of high speed highways and lot of passing)..

I would say LS400. Easy.

i'd have to say a 50/50 split. maybe a SLIGHT favor to the truck ONLY IF it is the diesel version. :p

According to top gear the Toyota would! haha :D

The truck. Not even close.

If you were shopping for a vehicle and these were the two you were considering, the LS400 would be the likely winner. A 20+ year old gold LS400 would likely have been driven conservatively to church by an older person. A 20+ year old lifted Toyota pickup would likely have been driven hard off-road by a mullet haired mouth breather.

that truck that is posted is stock.....



I think it could go either way. those older toyota trucks were built just as tough as a Lexus. They were designed for the deserts and jungles of 3rd world countries; to be used for work day in and day out.

i agree. more rugged. less shat to break.

If its a Hilux it will survive the test of time lol

Trucks.

Just the frame and tires will save it from the brutal effects of everyday driving.

Keeps going and going, like energizer bunny :D

We keep a '89 white LS in the showroom of our dealership, with 463,000 miles that had a flawless history. Original everything.

What's the Cookie Monster doing?!? :uh:
