When it came to producing engines, the reputations of which would last long after their service lives ended, Toyota was near the front of the pack in the 1990s. You really don’t have to think about it long before you’ll come across mills like the 1UZ-FE V8, most famously found within the Lexus LS 400. There was also the 22RE, an extremely reliable, let alone famous, four-pot that earned its stripes under the hoods of the Tacoma and 4Runner.
