I am a Toyota Master mechanic , 2.5 Litre engine specialized , Never use any type of oil other than 0-16W, that is your ticket to trouble free engine performance. The transmission bus are fixed through software updates, the 8 speed is extremely reliable. The Camry I would say, without any hesitation, The most reliable 4 door mid size car in the planet.
What about the V6 motor? Same viscosity?
what year se would you buy between 2018, 2019,2020.
In saudi the dealership recommend 0w20 or 5w30, also the owner guide say 0w20, 5w30, or even 10w30! The 0w16 it’s not even available or sold anywhere in the kingdom because as they say it’s regulatory thing to reduce carbon emissions -blah blah blah- so don’t worry😅 What is your opinion about that? And I want to ask about M20A 2.0L engine in Rav4 do you it will be underpowered or perfectly fine? Because the base model engine is the most affordable, the 2.5L engine is only available in full option rav4 and it’s EXPENSIVE! Toyota here -saudi- have exclusive distributor who prioritizes profit over good practices! Monopoly. If you want to laugh watch the feature they put compare to united state model it’s a SHAME 😅😂!
Thank you!
@@abdullahal-turaifi2692 That's not because of Profit. It's a hot country and hence the oil needs to be that grade to near the heat. It generally needs to be thicker in hot countries and thinner in cold countries.
Common problem is that your wallet gets stuffed with so much extra money due to low cost maintainance.
My family has owned Toyotas for 50 years. Current Toyotas are so built for higher profit margins that they are any different in cost than anything else in the Market. Their replacement Parts now are from third party vendors and they still sell them at high OEM prices.
@@cargueone1971 their parts are legit OEM all stamped with made in Japan. So how do you explain that? Nothing is Chinese 🤷🏻♂️
@@Musicreach101 obviously you never owned or serviced a Toyota. I live in the United States. It's not the case here. Your comment of "all parts are made in Japan" made me laugh out loud. Look under the Hood of a Tundra or Tacoma and you will see parts made in the U.S., México, China and Taiwan.
@@cargueone1971 SPOT ON COMMENT! MY 2012 CAMRY LE CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE: $575.00 (NON-DUAL A/C PART). IMAGINE THE COST FOR THE XLE DUAL A/C PART, $1,000 MAYBE $1,500?
@All Texan FEAR NOT. THE NEW PROBLEMATIC 8 SPEED MATED TO THE NEW (BULLSHIT) DIRECT INJECTION ENGINE SHOULD KEEP YOU COMING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SKYRACULOUS HIGH COST REPAIRS. AUTO MFRS. MAKE MORE FIXING THESE FUCKERS THAN THEY DO SELLING THEM. AND WE THE CONSUMER LINE UP LIKE SHEEP TO THE SLAUGHTER. AND WHY? BRAND LOYALTY, OF COURSE. SERIOUSLY FRIEND, I WISH YOU HAPPY MOTORING BUT, I SOMEHOW THINK TOYOTA HAS LOST THIER WAY.
Just bought a 2020 SE Camry. Still running strong after 89 miles!!
Congratulations!
@@TheCarCareNut hey hope you are doing well, one thing about the oil viscosity in North America the owner’s manual for the 2.0 and 2.5 l ( A20 and A25) engines says only 0w16 but where i live (saudi arabia) the owner’s manual says 0w16 0w20 5w20 5w30
Hi! I would follow your owners manual as different markets cars could have different programming.
@@TheCarCareNut oh didn’t know that, thank you
😂😂
I build the Camry every day... 10k people do here in Kentucky. Best car on the market... Also on the transmission, we had a physical transmission change early on. I am on the engine line and install the transmissions on them....
So we can blame you? 😁
@@philipwebb960 no he is not the bench tester, he is on the line. see these big auto companies have men in boxs testing the engines and transmissions and stuff to fail at a certain time or mileage from a certain oil or issue to void warranties lol.
Hi Tony! Thank you for helping to build my car. I have a 2018 Camry LE that was built 2/2018. I plan on keeping my car the rest of my life! 🤗
I trust the Camry assembled in Japan not Kentucky
This helped a lot considering I just got a 2018 camry. It helped me find the wind whistling sound and know what could be expected to come!
Annoying when I am reading comments and ad pops up after I close it comments go away I have to start over.
Yes, fuck youtube
That’s why I pay those suckers $9.99 a month for the Ad free experience. It’s worth every penny.
@@zaydlahfit5835I forgot that KZhead even had ads.
That's why I'm glad my browser came with a built-in ad-blocker. Every week or so, KZhead stops me viewing videos by claiming ad-blockers violate their terms of service. Well I've had a KZhead account since they first started and it wasn't part of the contract I agreed to.
Your fault for not figuring out how to avoid ads. I mean youtube is not even usable with ads in my opinion. That being said, here's 2 solutions: 1) Paid - get yt premium 2) Free - Get vanced manager if you're on Android. Adblocker on chrome. And if you have IOS, then use option 1.
Bought a 2021 LE 2 months ago with 4 miles on the dash. 6000 miles later and still going strong 💪🏼 not a single problem or rattle yet.
I'm totally in the tank for Toyota and Lexus and this channel is my go-to for info. I have 5 Toyota/Lexus cars with over 200,000 miles. Two have over 300,000. This guy will help me keep them on the road for years to come. I love my old Toyotas.
This man putting some great content
This is the best toyota content for those wanting to know about issues and more importantly what really matters for service and reliability. Hands down.
Yeah Scotty the liar ain’t cutting it.
@@Natethegreat200c lol
I own 3 Toyota’s now. This is definitely my go to channel from now on.
Had a 2010 camry hybrid brand new. Drove it for around 11 years and put 190000km on it. Very reliable car, never had anything repaired or fixed just only the regular oil change and maintenance. Changed the auxiliary battery once. Never had to replace the brake pads. Traded it in for a certified preowned 2019 Camry hybrid SE this year with 16000km on it. Loving it so far! Great video!! Thank you for being so generous and sharing your knowledge with the viewers!
Just bought a 2019 SE and actually learned quite a bit from this video. Very to the point, and it’s nice hearing from someone who actually has experience working on these cars. Really enjoyed it; thanks for sharing!!
Does yours have blowby vapor coming from the engine oil filler tube ?
Great money saving tips from arguably one of the best content filled channels on KZhead!!
I have a 2007 Toyota Camry sportivio, 13 years old, and never had 1 single problem with it, fantastic car.
Well toyota is the best for a reason
Same, mine's a Presara and the only thing I had to replace, was the battery...after ten years! You couldn't tell it from brand new. I look after it and baby it but still, the engine is clean and almost dust free and I never cleaned it. There was never a reason to. It's certainly a very low maintenance, durable car.
@Welsh knight how many mileage now on the Odometer?
@@gutadin5 140,000
I have a 2007 Toyota Camry Ateva, and I can say the exact same thing.
Really appreciate you covering the fuel systems. I believed in the misconception of putting additives/Premium into my newer cars and encountered misfire or mixure issues.
I have a 2016 Camry Sport and I love it. It's a beast, I call him blue demon fast as hell.
So much detailed explanation, great content! Keep it up. Glad to have found this video randomly.
I bought a 2018 Camry used 3 years ago and it has been trouble free. I change the oil and filter every 5k using 0W16 Idemitsu synthetic. Ot has 108,000 miles and I will be servicing the front brakes in a few weeks. I average 36mpg overall, 41 on long trips and it runs great and is very comfortable to drive.
2018 XSE 2.5L status report: I bought the car in 2022 with 54,000 miles on it. Very solid maintenance records in Carfax, no accidents. I had no issues whatsoever for the first 3000 miles and no real complaints. Being it was a new car for me, I felt I just needed to learn the quirks with the transmission. It never really bothered me, but took a bit to adjust to the abrupt downshifts if I was nearing a stop, but just needed to coast as say, the light was turning. BAM! Downshift. OK, learned that one. On a 1000 mile trip, I had crazy issues: 12v accessory in the console stopped working, then the USB port stopped working. From there, the car began shouting errors and malfunctions at me left and right. I had to turn off all of the safety features for the alerts to go away.. 800 miles later, the errors came back and made the car nearly unable to drive - power steering issues, and the alerts wouldn't go away. Everything from power steering failure, parking brake failure, etc etc to seat belt alerts. Took it to a shop, they thought it might havee been a strange short from the battery. They replaced the battery terminals (had just replaced the battery at a different shop prior to the trip) and it seemed to fix it. BUT. 350 miles later, it all started up again, but the entire dash failed - everything except for the tach! Transmission seemed to start shifting completely different, steering seemed to nearly die, EVERYTHING failed. Had to have it towed to a dealer. 10hrs of diagnosis later, - Bad PIN fitment. The computers and modules are in a BUS network. So one failed, they all began cascading into a failed state. It's been 7000 miles since, absolutely no issues. Computers. Just learned about the wipers! I was one of those people, felt the design was SO STUPID. I love this car. Had 3 Corollas prior, was so reluctant to give up my 07 Corolla S. But I have no regrets. Love this thing.
@Thomas B They do. When the computer was basically dead, the trans sat in park, felt like any old car. Kinda rocked a bit against the trans. When the electronic one is working, it's like a rock. Just solid.
I had to rent a 2020 Yota Camry last year during the peak of COVID. Long story short, was on a business trip during the start of the lockdown and had to rent a car to drive back home. Was in Arizona and drove back to Alabama. When I got to the rental company my first question was “ do y’all have any Honda’s or Toyota’s available”. They said they had Toyota Camry blah blah blah. I drove that baby over 3k miles and it was one of the best driving experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve been a loyal customer of Honda for most of my life and that was the first time I questioned my loyalty and I still highly consider and recommend buying a Toyota. Their legacy is better or equal to Honda, but man they do something’s much better and make the driving experience second to none in a lot of ways.
Why didn't you pick a Ford?
Toyota is actually more reliable as a whole than Honda ;)
I've never owned a Honda, but apparently their engines are even better than Toyota's. However, Honda does copy their body shapes from Toyota. Honda Accord is a copy of a Toyota Camry and Honda Civic is a copy of a Toyota Prius.
Fun fact 0W16 is actually 0W15. They didn't want to confuse consumers with using the number 15 thinking it would use 15W oils. This weight oil has been used in Japan years before it came to the U.S. mostly for hybrid applications.
Does this apply to all engines worldwide?
@@Geowebbie yes
@@mnwolves180 Thank you. I am picking up my first ever Toyota Camry Hybrid (late 2018 model)…I’m in Ireland and it’s good to see so much information on KZhead.
Thank you “Car Care Nut” for another informative video. I love to watch all of your videos because you are a “no nonsense “ type of guy who tells the truth about cars. I have been a Toyota man since 1986 (my first Camry) and have had various Camrys since then. I am now driving a 2014 Lexus RX350 which I think is the best car I have ever owned. I don’t look forward to the day I will have to replace it. Keep up the good work and I will continue to watch all of your videos. Thank you so much! 👍🏼
I watch this channel for every question I have. Thanks for the information, I really appreciate it, owning a 2018 Camry SE has been awesome.
Cracked my windshield when replacing my windshield wipers the first time on my 18’ Camry. Will use this trick the next time thank you!
Thank you so much. I just upgraded from my '15 SE Camry to new '20. I deeply appreciate it.
I am looking to do the same. How much extra for the update?
@@synewparadigm It really depends on your dealer and rate at the right time. So search for a great deal in your area or out of state 🤔. Then you can be in the right Toyota of dream.
Thank you! Great information and I took a lot of notes. I just purchased a 2018 Toyota Camry LE and I'm VERY satisfied with my purchase. This is my second Camry in my lifetime. God bless you!
Thank you so much dear. Being an owner of XSE V6 2019, certain things are so informative about it specially the viper thingy as changing the winter vipers after every 6 months in Canada is really a pain in the butt. Now I will do it with ease. Thanks again. You are subscribed. 😊
Thank you for the great advice and words of encouragement. Your videos truly offer some security in this insecure world.
Just tried the wiper trick on my 2021 ES. it works! thanks to you i can now clean and wax the base of my windshield safely
I currently own a 2020 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE and love it. 52 miles to the gallon and no rattles, shakes, or problems. I have owned a 1994 Camry, 2003 Camry, 2006 Camry LE, 2008 Solara V6 Convertible SLE, 2014 Camry Hybrid XLE, 2019 Camry XSE 4 cyl., Good cars!!!!!! My 2003 has 290,000 miles and still going! The Solara is still on the road too. I sold the others and did well when I sold them. You can't beat their reliability and their value. I love your channel.
You are spot on about how low the chassis is on the 2019 we own. We scrape the bottoms front and rear bumper going into driveways at times, despite being careful. We recently hit a pothole with the rear bumper, popping off the left side. It's held on by weak plastic parts for such a large rear bumper.
Good to know information provided here by someone who seems to know what he's talking about. I had written off the new XSE V6 based on the bad experiences of others, especially with the eight speed transmission. However will now have to review my decision.
Very informative! You read my mind about transmission issues but you put my mind to rest. Thanks!
I have a 2015 Camry XLE V6 - really happy with it...
I appreciate you making this conversation so delightful sir
Awesome intro to the Camry. I recently purchased the 2020 XLE,, along with my few personal added touches, which it really did not need,, however, it really is a sight on the road,in it;s Icy White Color. The added classy spoiler,really does it. I have never owned a Toyota prior to now. but I know I will be driving this for a long time. You introduced me in a great way to Toyota, I do have the Panoramic Roof,,,, and will be sure to care for it. Thanks for this Vid,,and have an awesome day.
Also - This only goes for the 2018 transmissions on the regular cars. The Hybrids transmissions were based on the Prius which didn't have issues because the Prius had plenty of time on them to work out any bugs. What I heard anyway.
I bought the sienna 2013 SE brand new in 2012. More than 8 years gone by with 86,000 miles now, I don’t have any single issue with it. All I spent for it were a set of tires and a battery. Great car
I'm in the market for a pre-owned camry & have watched a few of your videos. Excellent! Thanks and L & S. Looking forward to more.
Just bought a 2019 LE thank you for this informative video!
I love the TNGA platform, it is a pain when it comes to curb parking, uneven driveways, etc. However, visibility is incredibly improved and we can finally get a Corolla with a XXI century independent rear suspension! You are spot on about the big wheels lol. That is why I specced my 2020 Corolla with the smallest alloy wheels Toyota could sell the manual SE version with. Zero tire or wheel changes and I drive on similar roads to the one in the picture you were showing 😄
Older video, but really informative. Thank you for sharing all your inside info. Now to keep an eye out for totaled 2018+ cars with bad sunroofs!
The best generation Camry. I love these especially the XSE.
Is the XSE a 6cyl or 4?
@@davecrupel2817 there is a v6 and inline 4 version
Just bought a 2019 xse! Love it but do you know if the JBL system poses any problems. Had it one week and an amp on the speaker has already gone bad! Just wondering thank you?
Hi! The JBL Amps has gotten better than before but they still can fail. Not something I expect to be a repeating offender
Tough to find, also. Plenty of SE and LE models out there. I bought the only XLE V-6 on the Toyota dealer's lot.
SUPER USEFUL. Thank you for sharing this wisdom!!
Jeez, getting out of my 2018 SE to get into a 2021 XSE. I'll make note of the pano roof care and avoid potholes like the plague. Thanks! Just subbed
Just bought a 2021 Hybrid Camry SE. Glad I found with channel when I did!
I have 2018 early model in Australia 🇦🇺 2.5 nothing wrong with it till this moment I’ve done 50k km My transmission is 6 speed Nothing wrong with the car I’ve never had a flat tire or bent wheel on the 19inch But I like your videos and keep the good work mate
Great video I just found this channel. I own a 2017 xle camry fromNew, and has 113k troublefree miles. Runs smooth as silk and as quiet as rolled off the showroom floor. I do run premium though could be a waste, but I just like the idea it's doing something with keeping my engine buttery smooth and responsive. 0 carbon build up or vibrating. I'll replace or add to our garage either the new camry all wheel drive or the es250. Can't beat these cars I think.
Great video as always! I remember when you were aiming for 500 subscribers not that long ago and now pushing 16k!! I'm so glad to see all that hard work and dedication is paying off, keep up the great work!
Thank you Stephane! Hope you’re doing well.
One year later 390000 subs sheeesh lols
Before I buy my Camry, I will watch this video a few more times. A lot of first rate information in this video. This man knows his stuff and is willing to share, thanks TCCN.
Yes. I am considering a 2019-2020 Camry 2.5L as well.
@@willarddickerson921 Hey, Willard, I finally bought an Avalon. It was far less popular than the Camry leaving me more bargaining room--they stay on the lot longer. And the Avalon has many luxury features.
My first car was a used ‘85 Toyota Corolla, I drove it for 8 yrs w/ no major issues. My family & I currently have 3 Toyotas & have no issues. I won’t b switching brands anytime soon
Thank you Car Care Nut. I love channels like this. Humble, down to earth, and without all the Razza Mattazz rubbish others go on with not to mention the stupid doof doof music soundtracks, Arrgghh !! Simple, to the point and very informative. Thank you Sir !
Thanks for this video... now we need a video on race 2019 up, highlander 20 up, lexus is 2017 up..
Thanks for this vid, i'm considering a used 2020 TRD and this showed me what to watch out for or not worry of
I rented a 2020 SE and really enjoyed it. I'm looking into getting one. Thanks for this video. It helped a lot.
In 2018 my 87 Camry died. Instead of buying a new 2018 Camry I bought a 2015 Camry SE. 19K miles for $16K plus tax. This was due to the new engine and new 8 speed transmission and the potential new model issues. I do not care for sunroofs.
I own a 2018 Camry XLE. It has been absolutely superb in every aspect. Excellent vehicle, extremely reliable. Will purchase another Camry when time comes to replace this one.
So what problems have you ran into?
@@NorCalNiner707 I bought a used 2018 SE with 37K miles, it’s at about 45K now and I’ve had it for about a year. I haven’t experienced any issues with it, it’s just an all-around great car. Only maintenance I’ve had done was a tire replacement (because I drove around on a flat tire like a dummy) and regular fluid changes which I get free from the dealership. I was also given a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty from the dealership. Would highly recommend this car.
@@marygunnari hows the lag and transmission
Hi, I just subscribed to your channel and looks like your channel is a gem of knowledge and this one is an excellent video as well. I got a 2020 RAV4 adventure 6 months ago and can relate the panaromic sunroof rattling noise. I have driven the car around 7000kms but sometimes the transmission still gives jerks at slow speeds. Most of the time I drive in Eco mode. Will be waiting for your video on current gen RAV.
Thanks for the tips I do have issues with the strut mounts.. now I know what that noise is .. and the transition went out at 105000 miles.. now I change the transition fluid every 20000 miles.. over all a great car I have 165000 now ... Love it
Thank you for this review helped me very much planning on getting a used one stay safe
Good info and tips for caring of my 2019 Camry SE. Thank you👍🏽
I bought a used 2018 Camry XSE I4 with 30,000 miles exactly in the beginning of 2020. Rolling up on 39,000 miles. The only issue I have come across early on is once when closing the panoramic roof, only one side closed and the glass appeared to twist, but after opening and closing it again, it closed normally. Haven't had that problem since. Engine and transmission are super smooth. I did have the dealership update the software before purchasing. My first car was a 2007 Camry XSE that I bought with high miles (145,000+). I sold it around 163,000 miles. Replaced the transmission at 154,000 miles, ignition coils, and radiator around 160k miles. My dad has a 2014 camry with around 70k miles. No major issues aside from an occasional popping sound from the roof flexing when going over very steep curbs (our driveway for example).
I love your honesty man I can tell you definitely love Toyota but you also don’t mind calling it out as you see it when it comes to and problems in Toyota. Your not bias thats good. God bless you
Another very, very informative and beneficial presentation...although, seeing this information about the '18s to 21's kind of makes me glad I have a 2009 with the 2GR-FE and 6 speed automatic...😉😉😀
Great vid, very informative. Litterally Just bought a certified preowned 2018 se with 40k mi the other day and drove it out of state on a road trip,its been great no complaints drives nice, but seeing as the 18s were the Guinea pigs I'm glad I bought the Toyota extra care warranty for 2k that pretty much covers everything for years to come,peace of mind.
You drive out of state a lot an it’s still top notch??
@nocapent8878 brother toyota designs these cars to be driving on roads of 3rd world countries. Where basically there is no road 💀
Thank you for all the tip and trick and great vids I’m a subscriber now love everything you explain straight to the point 👍
I had one as a loaner, that front cowl is incredibly low, you can’t see it when parking, and it lives to get caught on parking blocks, especially if there is rebar holding them down. If I had one, I think I’d keep a hammer in the glovebox.
Great video I bought my 2020 TRD in October of 2019. Only problem I ran into was a shorted battery after 53K miles. Very great car overall
Wow
Thanks for the advice. Even though I own a 2021 Civic hatchback. I appreciate all the content.
You're absolutely correct about the adaptive transmission. I bought a 2019 Camry XSE new and didn't like how it shifted at all but I stuck it out and now almost 30k miles it's smoothed out greatly. Enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work.
Just got a 2020 Camry SE for my birthday and I absolutely love it
This car is a good car i use it for uber so far 170k miles and still driving as new, im using w-20 castrol after it went to 130k and so far is all good, if you take care of this car it will never leave you on the road, i have only change the shocks and rotors
What year and trim and packages? Panoramic sunroof? Blindspot? Etc
My wife rented one of these. It was an SE but she fell in love with it....I'll be keeping my eye on the 19s and 20s when the market cools down. Highway mileage is almost hybrid territory and plenty of punch from the Dynamic Force 2.5. kudos, Toyota!
I had a 2017 Camry for two years. It recently got written off. (Rear-ended; not my fault.) My insurance paid out about AU$4,000 more than I paid for the car, due to the increase in market value. I've been checking out newer models to buy, but they nearly cost as much to buy now as when they were new.
Go for it. I bought a used 2020 Camry for 10k with 90 k miles. Only issue was a dent in fender. Fix that and the car like Brand new. Can't beat the price and paying cash for car.
2023 - your channel has come a long way man, well done
I bought a used 2018 XSE, 2.5 liter, with 4600 miles on it at the time, no panorama sunroof and haven’t had any issues or problems. I bring her in for scheduled maintenance. Right now, she’s got 19,603 miles on the odometer. At first I wasn’t sure that I made the right decision in getting the 4 cylinder instead of the 6, but I’ve spent less on gas when we moved from CA to IL last July. I love my Ruby Flare XSE!
Good tip on having the driving memory reset.
Have you had this done and it actually do anything? My dealership didn't know what I was talking about at first then happily said they could do it for $182 after talking to an advisor. Called another dealership and they didn't know what I was talking about until talking to 2 advisors and the 2nd advisor said all I should have to do is disconnect the battery for 5-10 minutes for a hard reset and if any problems persist they would have to do a diagnostic.
@@justinwilliams5894the transmission on these cars tend to overheat and the transmisssion fluid from toyota is bad quality,my transmission died at 84k miles
I have a 2018 and I have not yet needed a wiper change. I did notice that the wiper positioning would make it hard to change and I always wondered why it was designed that way. Thank you for the tip On how to get them into the change position! Did not know that at all!!!
Toyota have just copied a Peugeot / Citroen idea - they have had the front wiper park position activated in the same way for the last 20+ years across all there multiplexed models.
81 Ford festival is the bomb
Just hit 34k miles on my 2018 xse. Loving it. Not a problem.
Honestly thank you for this video 🙏♥️ My Corolla SE was totaled in a car accident and currently on the hunt for a different vehicle.
@19:40 For potholes you should recommend high profile tyres 215/55 or 60/15 or 16, so they cushion well and don't have those problems
Thanks, im planning on buying a 19-2020 model
I just love my 2021 SE AWD Camry, she got the horses when needing to pass, and her Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 rocks.
This is my second 2018 Toyota Camry... My first one was hit head-on by a truck going full speed it's spun my car 180 and burst into flames but I crawled out of it with just two broken ribs and a broken sternum... My adjuster and my lawyer are amazed that I just walked away from this accident (after I crawled out of what was left of my car)..Safest car I've ever owned and will own no other from now on.. Have identical one to it now only difference is the color scheme.... both are Japanese made.... Thank you for all of your tips... I noticed at the dealership where I bought it they used a higher weight oil....WTF?... I immediately changed to 0w16 amsoil.... And thank you for the transmission info ,it definitely has some of these issues at 42 k that you've mentioned ,the clunk shift from Park to reverse when warm... And shifts funny... Will take to dealership and have them install the software update and reset the adaptive memory.... Now subscribed to your channel ,thank you for all your info.... Found it is very hard to change your own oil due to the lowness of the ground you cannot drive it up on car ramps so I take it to a local oil change shop here in my town where he uses amsoil 0w-16 and is more reasonable for that and a tire rotation than my local dealership..... Could you tell me what the original tires that came with the 2018 Camry model?..mine has prinx on it...
Thank you very much. this is very informative and you are an excellent teacher.
I'm pretty happy with my Camry 18 SE.. Now, I must say there are few things that annoy me like the sound of the wind I hear when I'm driving (turned out it's a common issue. I sometimes feel what Toyota refers to as a 'shift shock' on startup or reacceleration and there's a TSB-0330-17 & I'm planning on getting this done soon.
I thought I was the only one that noticed the wind noise!!
Y'all need to drive the old classic cars and then come on here and complain about the "wind noise". Trust me, they're much quieter than the cars I grew up driving. They economize on the noise insulation so people will go upscale with Lexus. It's just business.

Great video, always owned a Toyota, I have a 2016 Camry XLE, going to buy a new one soon. Very informative. Thanks.
Thank you for video that explain to question about fuel pump noise and wiper for my 2018 Camry SE, two thumbs up ！！
Had a 19 se 4 cyl rental and drive from NY to tennessee. On highway it felt great for a 4 cyl. Avg 39 mpg all the way down.
I wish I could give you more thumbs up. I have almost purchased this car several times but had reservations until hearing you explain the issues in detail. I bought a new f150 that I love but it has been at the dealer for so many cosmetic issues I am a thing of trading for XSE V6 or the Lexus ES 350. You have gained another sub. Thank you so much and God Bless!
If u ever need a truck, get a Tundra, really reliable & dependable
@@Blackpanther_risen Not anymore...
The 2018 Camry is still the most modern looking Camry they have ever had in the Camry line. The only thing I don't like on cars from the 10's is the very thick and low bumpers, they always scrape on the pavement when going over even the slightest bumps. I'm thinking the very thick bumper trend will end soon though, too many complaints about the scraping, even over speed bumps when you are going 3 mph it scrapes at times.
Is that a problem. I want a new Camry but I am worried about the bottom scrapping too much.
@@shadowhound5113 my 2015 Camry scapes a lot on my drive way and apparently these newer ones sit even lower
Get some lifters to put on.
OH BOY, we have speed bumps in my community! I hope this isn't an issue!
i tot this problem is only in Nigeria where d roads are terrible
I just bought a 2020 xse Camry panoramic sunroof silver I love it big time.
Very good info on the availability of that sunroof seal!! Thanks
Great info to use on my 2020 Camry. Thank you
Thanks for the wiper replacement tip because man when I realized that the driver side hit the hood I was like that's going to be a pain in the ass to replace Lol
Nice videos - well thought out and presented. Thank you! KG
I appreciate your content. I bought my first brand new car last week: a fully loaded 2021 xse. The things you mentioned: the panoramic sunroof, the wheels, the breaks and the front bumper are things that scare me.. I hope this thing doesn't turn into a money pit
Congratulations! Don’t worry. Take care of the car and it will take care of you!
Have you had any issues with those specific things? Just got an xse myself
I'm at 5,500 miles so nothing so far 🤞
@@Redmaile25 awesome thanks!
@@TheCarCareNut My wife bought 2018 XSE and is going around and around with the Toyota dealer over the power sun shade under the panoramic sunroof. Rarely opened the sunroof. You mentioned it is like a 5 minute fix? I didn't find a TSB on this. Can you expand on the fix for me, please!
The XSE with those wheels is the reason i went with the XLE. We have a 2011 Malibu with low profile tires and I will never do that again. We have had nothing but problems with them.
Your reviews and suggestions are always helpful, can you please do review on Toyota mirai.
Thank for verifying what I intuitively felt about using good fuel.
