Is Toyota’s T24A-FTS 2.4T the BEST Modern Toyota Engine?

In this video, Jake takes an in-depth look at Toyota’s newer T24A-FTS 2.4L turbo and what owners can realistically expect for long-term reliability as mileage climbs, including where it shows up across the lineup—vehicles like the Lexus NX 350 and RX 350/RX 500h, plus Toyota’s newer Grand Highlander variants, and the latest truck/SUV platforms using the 2.4T and hybrid “MAX” setups like the Land Cruiser and 4Runner (and the new Tacoma i-FORCE 2.4T). He explains what makes this engine family different from Toyota’s older NA options, and how those differences impact heat management, drivability, and longevity. He also talks through the most common problem areas owners run into, focusing on how they tend to develop, the early warning signs he watches for, and what he looks for when evaluating one used. Finally, he wraps with an honest reliability verdict and a practical ownership roadmap aimed at keeping a T24A-FTS smooth, strong, and dependable long-term.
