Well besides changing tires at the early stages of my ownership of this vehicle, having the problem with doors getting stuck when sweet liquids drip in to the door gaskets making them sticky (our fault), and front disc brakes warping and having them replaced, this has been a great vehicle for us.
We have traveled across the US from California to Texas on several occasions and have yet to find a large problem with it.
I currently own an 1991 DLX 4x4 pick up with 56000 miles on it and it is still very strong, since I'm sold on the reliability of Toyota products I went and purchased myself a 2002 Sequoia (very comfortable SUV) and it is a pleasure driving it.
All I can say is that if you take care of your vehicle, your vehicle will take care of you.
Toyota blamed the sticking doors on me when a sweet sticky drink had never even seen the interior of my van. It is part of their "blame it on the owner game". I bet your doors would have stuck even if you hadn't spilled those drinks. I also had bad brakes and failed engine due to sludge even with average 5-6k mile oil changes.
At 65K no sludge and running great. However, I also had many brake and rotor problems, door knob on slider broke multiple times. Lousy stock tires, outside edge worn down quickly.
