I’m concerned about reliability issues with this engine. I’m fine with waiting a bit but I found one I really like. Thoughts?

Not really. It is not a design problem. Engines that they manufacture in Japan are fine. It is the US factories that have issues which historically has always been the case and the reason why people preferred Japanese made models.A “v” engine is much more difficult to turbo than an in-line, thus the twin turbo on the v6 , one for each side. Toyota is putting this I force max in several different vehicles it had better be reliable.
I watched it last week. It was great!I recommend the Car Care Nut review of the LC. That guy knows what he’s looking at and goes into much detail on the choices Toyota made architecting that engine. It’s a very interesting watch if you’re interested in the material at that level of detail at all.
Spoiler alert, he is very complimentary of the simple and basic approach Toyota used in the powertrain design with the exception of the injector location and a couple small things.
Did you purchase one?Hello from Hamburg, NY! I too was nervous, but Toyota has been putting hybrids in cars for nearly 20 years. This engine has also been used in many other vehicles and there have been no reports of issues.
Go Bills!
I did, I bought a FE in early July. It’s awesome!Did you purchase one?
Go Bills!
After driving a 2015 Chevy Colorado for five years I made the decision to never buy an American made/American built vehicle again. This rules out to comas and tundras for me.I was a BETA tester on the 2015 Ford Transit Van, 1 ton. Biggest mistake I have ever made. I blindly trusted Ford. Biggest mistake I have ever made.
I think Toyota is in a whole different league, than Ford. I feel like I made the right choice. Time will tell.
Never. Again.After driving a 2015 Chevy Colorado for five years I made the decision to never buy an American made/American built vehicle again. This rules out tocomas and tundras for me.
