Chassis Corrosion: A major issue on older Trooper and early D-Max models; they often look clean on top but can be structurally compromised underneath.

3.0L Injector Failures: The Trooper 3.0 (4JX1) engine is notorious for injector and O-ring failures that can lead to fuel entering the oil.

DPF Clogging: Common on D-Max models used for short urban trips or site work; they need regular long runs to regenerate.

Twin Turbo Failure (2.5L): The 2012-2017 2.5L engine can suffer from turbo failure if oil changes are neglected.
