If replacing an alternator, you can choose between:

🔹 OEM Toyota Alternator Best for reliability

Pros: Long lifespan, perfect fit.
Cons: Expensive.

🔹 Aftermarket Brands Good balance of price and quality

Denso – One of the best alternatives also OEM supplier for Toyota.
Bosch – Reliable with good performance.
Valeo – European brand, high-quality components.
LUCAS, Hitachi – Other decent options.

Avoid cheap, no-brand alternators, as they tend to fail quickly.
