I guess you heard that consumer reports pulled their recommendation from 3 Toyota models due to Poor crash test ratings.
That matches my experience too.
Last year I was in the middle off a low speed accordian type wreck. Not sure how fast, but we were all on the brakes, trying to stop. I hit the Toyota in front of me and a Honda hit me from behind. Nobody hurt.
I was driving my 10 year old Chevy S-10 pickup, a little truck by any standard. My air bags did not go off, so it was a low speed crash. My truck was drivable except for a fender into a tire, but it would start and run, all cosmetic damage, the bill was $4000, insurance value $7000 so they fixed it.

She expected to have it back in a few days, since there was little visable damage. She got a call...totalled. Bent at the firewall like a boomerang. The insurance co. wrote her a check for $18,000.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
