One of the reasons that turbo engine will not last as long as a NA, even so much stress placed on engine oil:
So to me it’s not the V8 vs V6, is the turbo that takes way the predicted long term reliability of the engine.

Other companies have been able to make reliable, better-performing turbo engines because they've been at it longer (in the modern context, not 1980s-90s), Toyota still haven't proven themselves. Naturally aspirated is where they shine, turbos not so much.
EDIT: LOL, didn't mean to reply to a 7-month old post. But my point still stands.

You are wrong. Toyota has been making turbos consistently since the 1980s. You just don’t see them in North America. My 4Runner V8 also called Hilux Surf had an inline 4 turbo diesel. Toyota Soarer had not one but two different turbos up until 2000. The outgoing RX had a turbo engine, Toyota Corolla had a turbo (gas and two diesels) in the mid 2000s. My gen Corolla had a turbo gas. You just never knew

Toyota did market the MR2 Turbo here in the U.S., back in the 1990s.....my ex-Flight-Instructor had one for several years. And the 90s-vintage Toyota Previa minivan had an optional supercharger.

Toyota is still a greenhorn to widespread usage of turbo engines. Only now are we actually starting to see them implement them en masse in vehicles like the Highlander and RX. Other brands have been putting small displacement turbos across their entire range over a decade ago.

The question is, how long does it need to last? Very few cars are still on US roads with 300k+ miles, no matter how long lasting they may be. I have never owned a car past 220,000 miles, and then only a few cars. If you're telling me a NA Toyota engine will last 700,000 miles and a turbo will only last 500,000 miles, thats a big whoop IMO.

700,000 miles. It doesn’t need to last that long. But it needs to meet past expectations of Toyota ownership where the engine is rock solid for 10 years minimum(with normal type miles). At 15 years…you’ve got a future buyer for life, that is how the Toyota brand gets the following it has. Other brands get their following from different attributes

I’ve never understood why someone would lease a Toyota or Lexus.
