I will agree with Mr. Toyotaman. The 8-series is a strong, good product. I have a lot of colleagues that use Toyota and love them. I personally am a Hyster user and like them for the simple fact of the dealership I use. Plus, the new Fortis series is a good machine. I run 17 different facilities in OR, WA, & northern CA & Hyster always has the part, rental machine, or service tech when I need them. Plus, Hyster parts are reasonalbly priced, something I cannot say about the Toyota machines. Their parts seem pretty expensive from what I have encountered.
Otherwise Toyota is a good mfg & they do have a good product. But, everyone's truck has to be decent anymore, otherwise they wouldn't be around. Best advice from me would be to find a dealership that cares, no matter what the brand is, like I have done.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
