Wow, you must really hate yourself to get into a Toyota minivan. LOL. It will be interesting to see how many engines are actually failing. It seems as every manufacturer is having engine problems currently, even Toyota.

I do not hate myself, my WIFE will hate me when the 6.2l Yukon leaves US stranded on the side of the road somewhere. I might be able to get the Yukon repaired and keep it if I am the only one in the Yukon with a DOA 6.2l on the side of the road. If SHE is in the DOA Yukon, Toyota Minivan in the driveway the next morning and the "I told you ......."!

I am guessing nobody else here would have this kind of response or be able to relate to this??

Joining the list. My 6.2 blew yesterday at 50,090 miles on my 2023 Denali. Dealer is replacing under warranty.

Anyone have any sense for whether the 6.2 failures occur only at highway speeds? Most (if not all) of the stories I've read about have occurred on the highway, presumably at or over 65 mph. I haven't read about a failure occurring in town/in stop-and-go traffic.

Mine failed yesterday on the highway. Where I get on for my daily drive is a 70mph zone so I was getting up to speed and at right around 70 it went to neutral and told me to shift to park. I pulled over and did, there was no dash lights or messages, also didn’t hear any noises or see smoke or anything. Took off again and hit 55mph and it failed for good. Shifted to neutral again, then to park when I got on the shoulder and wouldn’t start or go into neutral from there. Still no indication it was the engine but I knew from all I had read on here. Dealer confirmed today.

Edit -- I see above what year.

Are any of these failing with Carbyte or Range units installed?

Had to chuckle at this...my opinion is if you own any internal combustion engine you NEED to check the oil at EVERY fill up...been this way since I started being around engines...

While I do check mine every so often, mine is so boring that I hardly overlook at it anymore. It never changes. It's never anything but full.... And it's dependable as the sun coming up..

nope. wouldn't have bought anything past a 2020 to begin with. I don't care what the jone's have in there driveway
plus with the daily devaluation I may as well toss a $100 bill out the window every 5 days + interest
by purchasing at 5 years old my devaluation is 1/4 of that, most bugs have been worked out already and it probably won't have to sit at the dealer for a month if something breaks down. And I can still buy a decent warranty and trot my happy ass down the road.

Objectively, the T1 rides on the highway much better than the K2. It is more modern, nicer in interior, more stylish in design)) And we only live once, so why limit yourself to modern toys)

The only thing I have installed on mine is the auto stop eliminator. I think just over a year now.

for me, because "Money" I would rather spend that $40,000-50,000 (net loss) on more enjoyable things, such as showing my children the natural wonders of this place we call earth.
Also because i am by general definition "poor" and always have been so I have respect for my money that I do earn and spend it wisely (generally).
I can drool over a new car and dream of driving it, but to attempt to live that life is foolish for me. We can travel to those places in a 5 year old car just as well and still have money in my pocket for the next place. In fact we could drive there in a 30 year old car just as well. I struggled with my own thoughts when I sold my last 25 year old car that was perfectly capable of going another 200k without any major hiccups I shouldn't have sold it, but at the same time I did want something somewhat newer that was previously out of reach and the net loss was not as severe.
just like I could buy a pair of $1000 audio speakers or a $10,000 pair of audio speakers
the question I ask (myself) is do I hear $9,000 difference between these speakers?
(I have listened to both) and quit simply I cannot hear $9,000 difference, do they sound a smidge better? sure, but not $9,000 different.
maybe when all of my children have grown and are capable of living on there own 2 feet and I have completed my job as a parent, then if any money I have managed to save is more than what I might need before I die then I can splurge on living in luxury.
do I buy the latest phone or keep my computer up to date? sure because those things are "tools" for me and enable me to continue to be able to provide a income for my family.
just like if I owned a auto repair I would have to buy the new tools to keep my business running and be able to provide a service.
some things though last a LONG time and provide the same level of use. even though it is not the latest and the greatest.
maybe if I worked in a environment where I had to shuttle clients or customers around I would have a great need for the newest car and be able to do that in class and also "write off some of the cost" as a cost of doing business.
just my point of view, from below the poverty line.
I could go buy a new car I have good credit and I have the resources to pay it off, but the loss point of it is what kills it for me.
to each there own, I am not judging anyone, the above is just from my perspective I do not foresee ever winning the lottery or becoming independently rich and I have a responsibility to provide
