I believe it. I bought a 99 chevy Z71 the same time a friend of mine bought a 99 Tacoma. I ended up with 125k miles and about $3,500 worth of issues and he has 205k miles and has put in a u-joint and alternator. This doesnt count rutine maint.
Still chaps me.
Needless to say thats why I own a Toyota now.
