If you read through archives of this reflector, you'll find several 
posts addressing the fact that 100W on HF is NOT OK with SOME Toyotas, a 
prime example of which was my 2006 Sequoia, where the computer goes into 
cardiac arrest with 100w on 20M SSB.  I can also report from a colleague 
who has for many years been Chief Engineer at WLS (50kW, 890 kHz) knows 
(from listener complaints) that many Fords are so noisy that the radios 
can't hear his station in their local coverage area.
