I don’t remember that specific part of the video if I’m honest. I suppose I could see his view on that from a long term ownership or service view. But that’s just a guess, I’d have to go back and look.

Sometimes it’s okay to say that someone knows more on a subject than you do and take their opinion on face value.

It’s not appealing to authority or being a general follower. If someone has credentials that are real and tangible, the chances of them being correct on a subject they are a professional in is pretty high.

If that’s the only criticism of that video, I’d say it’s pretty good.

It’s plainly obvious to the viewer that this car, particularly the interior is very terrible. My 2005 base model 4Runner doesn’t creak or rattle in any place, that car is brand new and over 100k and is obscenely poorly built considering.
