Automotive Engineer and MIT Grad David Koichi Chao, who has worked for a number of Japanese companies including Toyota, will reveal how to inspect and assess new cars and trucks in terms of quality and fit-and-finish. You can use this technique and insight to check the new 2022 Toyota Tundra, for example, and see if it's well built and free of defects, quality issues, and workmanship problems. In this video, David also shows what the differences are between the Japan-made cars and those made elsewhere.
David shows you step by step how to figure out the level of quality of any car or truck by doing a proper "audit" and "assessment". This is Part 2 of 2 series and covers further interior attributes plus figuring out quality inside the engine compartment and driving assessment. If you haven't seen Part 1, please take a look at that first.
If you are planning to buy the new 2022 Toyota Tundra, for example, and are concerned about the build quality - you can use this technique to inspect the actual truck yourself and feel safe that it's well built (or not).
David is using the Kentucky built Toyota Camry to demonstrate the art and science of auditing and assessing vehicle quality.
