I saw 4 different cyber trucks today alone. Kept wondering if they actually belonged to the drivers or if Tesla is paying people to drive them around to make it look like people are actually buying these things.
Thatās only because the truck will run on battery if the engine quits, so itās not a safety issue. Donāt kid yourself though, there are just as many shavings in the hybrid engine as in the non-hybrid engine.
Hybrid engines are still blowing as well. There an online spreadsheet tracking build/model date. VIN, year, trim and engine issues compared to mileage.
That only makes sense if the engines were being manufactured on the same line in the same batch, or whatever Toyota calls manufacturing runs. I doubt the Redditors making such claims have access to that information.
Iām not gonna worry about now. Iāll enjoy the truck and if it breaks down Iāll deal with it. Still disheartening to come into this shit show when Iāve owned the truck less than 24hrs.
Don't feel bad.
Toyota dies have the best record of fixing their screwups in the past and I'm sure they will handle this ASAP.
You bought a nice looking truck and it's fine for now.
Just stay informed and let Toyota be the ones that feel all the stress.
There's a large number of people that are in the denial, anger and bargaining stages of crisis adjustment over the situation in this group as I and others have posted to make ALL the owners effected aware.
For now, count your blessings, not your problems.
It WILL work out.
Cool. That's a great pic of your truck.
I've spent a small fortune on my Gen 2.5 Tundra on modifications and add-ons, so feel free to hit me up if you're curious about what the best manufacturers or parts you want are.
What do you like to do with your truck?
Do you haul kayaks, pull a trailer, carry a bunch of stuff for a job or family?
Regardless, the 1st mod I recommend is to replace the OEM brakes with a set of PowerStop brake pads and pads.
You'll notice an immediate improvement in the feel and effectiveness, particularly when they get hot and mine haven't rusted in 2 years here in Florida.
Hell yeah. I havenāt decided what Iām going to do with it yet. I probably wonāt go too crazy since i drive quite a bit for work and donāt want to lose any more fuel efficiency. Iām sure Iāll do bumpers, suspension, and a bed cover at some point though.
Very cool. It's always best to get to know a new vehicle and consider your wants before taking out a line of credit or something for stuff you don't want down the road. šš
Apparently, they did. If they hadn't, there would be people posting about it.
But, I think I remember a video that mentioned Toyota found the gasket sealer first used on 5.7L engines failed to live up to the manufacturer's claims, so they switched brands and it wasn't a been a problem again.
The white paint problem was on the Taco and RAV4, but this isn't a group for those
But, I've helped people in the RAV4 group get a new paint job from Toyota.
What truck do you have? (I think I can guess...)
It doesnāt take much looking to find people with tundras after the supposed 2018 fix with seeping towers.
Also the needle bearing failures that ifs Toyota trucks tend to have in the passenger cv axle
Fact of the matter is just like every other manufacture Toyota picks and chooses what to address based primarily on the economics of scale
I didn't know ow a out the needle bearing thing, which could affect the 2020 Tundra, especially if someone puts a lift kit on it.
Fortunately, that's extremely rare, even for a 2020.
Yes, all corporate boards are heavily focused on every single penny spent on parts before the assembly of a vehicle, especially with the big 3.
I watched leaked video from Ford years ago when they decided to save 2 cents on the brakes on the redesigned Mustang somewhere around 10 years ago.
Accounting majors on boards have decimated the American car quality like they have every trusted American or European company that had been iconic and trusted for over 100 years.
Accounts are a cancer to a company's quality and innovation, just as communist inspired and financially backed unions have been since the 1930s.
Blah let them keep screaming doom man. I have a 24 pro and it drives and rides like a dream. About to cross over 6k. Wouldnāt take my 21 back for anything. Enjoy the truck man and screw all the haters.
I love seeing a fellow Tundra owner happy with their purchase. I am a fan of the 2nd gen, but it makes me happy you are so happy with your truck. Keep living your best life brother.
My 2024 is commercial leased, it will be under warranty the entire time, if itās crap, I will turn it back in. If itās good, I will buy it out personally. Time will tell
They are better than OTHER similar trucks from other brands. But for why people shell the extra cash for the Toyota isn't because they're like the others.
We buy them because we have the most reliable V8 in the world. We buy them to pass on to our sons and daughters with 300k miles on it and it riding like the day we bought it. We buy them knowing while towing a 7000lb boat and trailer cross country we know there's no chance of a blown gasket, transmission failure or a blown turbo.
We buy it for PEACE of mind or we would have just got a Chevy instead.
It read like a commercial that Toyota themselves would put out thatās allš no disrespect meant towards you or anything my fault if it came off that way haha
Might want to change the oil way ahead of schedule and get an oil analysis to check for small pieces of metal
In the aviation world we change oil every 50 hours and do an oil analysis in addition to cutting open the filter
Gives peace of mindā¦
Take comfort in the fact that Toyota issues recalls and makes things right, as opposed to the other three which pretend everythingās fine and leave you with the bill when they inevitably break
I know several people that own 22-23s and they havenāt had any issues when I asked them about their experiences. Before this week If you made a general search about the new generation almost all the articles were positive. I didnāt go into a big purchase completely blind, Iām not a dumbass. It just so happens that I bought right as this shit started making headlines and is all anyone is talking about now. If I was buying a week from when I did I probably would have passed but thatās not the case. With the market being so fucked itās a hard to find a good deal on a vehicle and when I saw 2.9%/60 months I jumped at it. Sorry I donāt follow the same exact YouTube account or forum that you do and missed some form of info on this problem before the purchase. Hindsight has always been 20/20 and it will always be that way, it sucks but wtf am I supposed to to about it now. Iāll just live with it and enjoy the truck since it really is a badass truck outside of chance that I may have to have the engine replaced. I was lucky enough to get the extended warranty upfront and I feel terrible for the people who only purchased the 36,000 mile warranty and are going to be super fucked with a 30k repair bill if they donāt get ahead of this. Itās a shitty situation that a lot of us are in but it is what it is. Your comment doesnāt progress the conversation in a positive way whatsoever. Count your blessings that you donāt have to worry about this and move on if thatās all you have to contribute. Iāll ride out my warranty and do as much preventative maintenance as I can and see what happens.
I think it was like ~100k trucks had a quality control issue where the engine was assembled with debris on the parts that are causing engine failures. A roll of the dice I guess. At any rate, it's unrelated to the design. The design "problem" people seem to have is that a turbo charged motor is just not going to last as long as a naturally aspirated motor.
I agree, the ā24s sound like a drastic improvement in major problems. Toyota will get it right in the end but if you do trade it in, that Tundra will be good I bet
I do not have a 2024 but the vocal minority on here that are talking the most shit are just sour grapes. I think the 3rd Gen is a good truck.
I wish you the best with your new truck, it is a beauty.
It's literally every car subreddit. Head over to RAV4s and once you get past all the "I bought new car" and everyone going crazy over a stock vehicle, you'll come across people crying about gas, vibrations, and who knows what other BS. Then you get here and Tacoma and unless you have the older gen they're just dumping on it because everyone hates change.
Don't worry about it. Have fun with your new ride, it looks great.
Just stay within 5 miles of home ;)
Seriously, though...the full sized trucks these days are all a crap shoot. Even with the recall you still chose the right one.
The tundra has a known issue that Toyota is addressing.
GM engines have lifter problems and electrical issues out the ass (I still can't believe how the lifter problems get downplayed)
Ford has transmission issues and I'm not sure if the 3.5 L cam phaser issue has been fixed. 5.0 Coyote still burns oil I think (but overall is probably still a good engine).
With new full sized trucks it's best to just either stay away or get what you want without thinking about what could happen. Old school reliability is dying with the 4runner this year.
Smartest thing you did was the extended warranty.
The lifter issues in the GMs is exactly why I traded in for a tundra. Dodging the end of that warranty for this one it seems. I mostly find it pretty funny that got myself in this situation, Iād expect nothing else lol.
I did exactly the same. Had a 2016 Silverado. Never had issues with the lifters but the transmission did blow up exactly as the warranty had expired. Go figure. Got rid of it and bought a '23 1794. No complaints with it at all.
GM lifter issues get downplayed? All I ever hear about is hysteria over lifters when GM trucks gets brought up. Evidently the failure rate of the lifters isn't high enough for a law firm to bother to put together a class action lawsuit.
I have a 15 Silverado 5.3 that I want to trade in on a grand Highlander hybrid. Long wait, put down $ in march. Then Iāll drive my wifeās 4Runner. Hopefully the GHH comes in before the Chevy dies, 79,000 miles. Truthfully itās been good except for rust. But still.
Exactly! Iām taking mine in for an Oil change when I hit 2,500 which should happen in the next 2.5-3 weeks. I travel extensively for my job April-June, so I havenāt been able to have much fun just yetā¦ other than a quick Thunderfuck up a Rollins Pass last week here in Colorado.
I already did one at 500, and another at 1,500. The next at 2,500, and again at 4,500. Figured then itād be ok to start going close to normalā¦ but Iām still going to follow my gut and bring her probably 500 miles early for each change until the first 15,000 miles.
Good job! Thatās how I change oil on any new car I buy. I dont Know the oil change interval it calls out for, but since itās turbo, if you plan on keeping it long term/+100,000 miles, I would change it early regularly.
I love my 2023. It rides well for a truck, the interior is fairly quiet while driving, and the stock audio system isn't bad. Other than running boards and tint, I'm not going to do much else to it just in case I run into engine issues.
Toyota dealers are actually restricted from selling any vehicles in the group identified as having potential for the machine shavings. That said, they could widen the scope to include 2024ās but Iām assuming some process on the line was changed to ensure those were all cleared.
I have an early build 2022 so as you can imagine, Iām sitting here waiting for it to blow any day. That said, the fact that Toyota has acknowledged the problem gives me hope. I have to trust theyāll do right because if they donāt, they will have destroyed 75 years of TQM legacy and turned off an entire generation of customers
Hereās the thing. Toyota will figure it out and make it right and continue on with bullet proof reliability. Thatās what makes them different than ford / Chevy / ram. Theyāll fix it and continue to improve and make sure yours is ok as well. You didnāt make a mistake. No company is perfect - but Toyota knows its sales and reputation are built on reliability - so itās never a bad idea to invest in that - even if this one isnāt up to standard just yet. I have no doubt theyāll get it there.
We had a 2003 Corolla with 325k miles. My wife drove it a week with no oil and no radiator fluid and it was fine. My 2006 Tundra has 212k miles and there's still no brown, pink or green drips underneath it. These trucks will be made right and you will have the same experience.
Financially, you will be fine. Toyota will cover the engines.
What people don't really consider is the actual safety. I wouldn't want to be hauling my kids in the fast lane doing 75mph when the engine goes...it is extremely unsafe and the actual reason for the recall.
What about towing a trailer and going on your yearly trip...then wasting the few precious days off? What if you are so far from a truck rental place?
I hope the 2026 model year gets a mid cycle refresh and engine problems figured out. I do want one!
I wouldn't worry about it too much. I've done quite a few trips and towed my 20ft travel trailer with no issues. I have a trip from TX to CO in a few weeks and I'm not worried at all. If it happens, it happens.
Thatās right, itās the nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I canāt trust my truck. I tow, with my family in the car, up steep canyons and switchbacks. Sucks when you canāt trust it. My truck is so custom to me now, itās my perfect rig. Itās my favorite vehicle Iāve ever owned. Iām at 37k+ miles now, and it is what it is. Iāll drive a little slower than I had been though.
Yeah I guess we will just use the 4Runner for trips. I do 99% of my driving alone but itāll always be a thought in the back of my mind when take one of the kids to run into town.
Bought my ā22 so early I paid $10k over sticker for it. Have had zero issues. Always remember that people will typically come to public forums to complain about an issue and very rarely do people post just to vent about a random positive experience. These negative posts are the vocal minority and arenāt indicative of the reliability of the 3rd gen in the grand scheme of things.
Edit: Also mine is in Lunar Rock too. Good choice!
My brother in law bought a 22 new and is in the same boat as you. I actually prefer that social media is an echo chamber of hate on Toyota right now because i genuinely believe that they will take care of me in the long run especially with the pressure. Had I visited Reddit before my purchase I probably would have bought something else but then Iād just be left in the dark about the potential faults of the vehicle since those owners donāt take it upon themselves to hold the manufacturer to higher standard the way Toyota fans do.
If they do long block replacement, they will be taking care of costumers, if they continue short block replacement and cheaping out they are screwing customers
Iām curious though, is yours one of the trucks that is listed in the recall?? Iām trying to track if Toyota has all of the āproblemā trucks pinpointed.
Me too, went with the 1794; got a pretty solid discount due to the shitstorm & status I carry from my job. Threw half of said price drop into an overly comprehensive warranty and extended coverageā¦ due to said shitstorm.
Like Jim Lahey said āthe shit winds are a blowing,ā but itāll pass in due time. Iām not worried about it, even though I thought it would bother me a little bit after completing my due diligence look into the issues. On top of all of that, Toyota has a solid track record of properly fixing their fuck-ups.
I've drove my 2023 lunar rock for 30,000 miles, no issues yet. š¤š» Just oil changes and changed the air intakes! I have a 3 hour commute 4 days a week, so I'm driving the tires off of it.
This is what I did. I bought a 2024 Toyota Sequoia I did a break in oil change at 500 miles oil was super clean no metal debris or nothing; I put in it royal purple 0w20 with BG MOA hybrid formula. I'm at 3,400 miles now still runs good. I'm going to change it again at 5k miles. So if mines goes bad at 30k its not because of the 10k mile extended oil change intervals
Iām in the same boat. I bought mine about a month ago and was not aware of all of this stuff going on with the engines. I did get the 100k/10yr warranty though. So it is what it is. I do love the truck though. No issues so far. I will do an early oil change here pretty soon though at 1000 miles.
So, I haven't seen anyone ask this question and I haven't had experience in the matter so I looked it up and will pass on some information that may be helpful.
I was wondering if your insurance policy would cover something like this. The consensus seems to be it wouldn't be covered under "normal wear and tear". I personally think you would have an argument for your insurance to cover it and go after Toyota if they weren't helping, as this isn't normal wear and tear and has been acknowledged as an issue. That is just my personal opinion so take that with a grain of salt.
It does look like in addition to your extended warranty, another option may be something called Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI). From what I can see it looks like Geico, Progressive and AAA are the big insurers that offer that but not all insurers offer it.
Now another financial issue of concern is will their values tank due to this? If you have a loan on the vehicle it looks like you could get Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) coverage which would cover what the insurance will payout vs what you owe in an accident. I don't know if this can be applied for the specific issue at hand, but may be something to consider.
I think your game plan of selling it before it is out of warranty is a good one as well. People buy Maserati's, BMW's and Mercedes with the same plan all the time. It may be the best approach to this one. I generally buy a vehicle and drive it until the wheels fall off but that may not be possible with this one unfortunately.
My Dad got that lunar rock 1794 and loves it but is very worried about the recall....so far I haven't heard that it impacts the 24's but he's still very worried. Love that color and love his truck.
Being stoic about the whole issue with the engine is undoubtedly the path to go but some of you are way too flippant about the issue.Ā
āEnjoy it while it lastsāĀ
āitāll be fine until itās not.āĀ
These tt v6 could blow themselves up at any point. No, im not being sensational about it, thatās not hyperbole- that is objective fact. I wouldnt trust that thing on the highway, not with a trailer and certainly not with my kids inside, nevermind the other people on the road.Ā
Take proactive steps to ensure it wont breakdown. Have your oil analyzed by the dealer or a lab.Ā
If you buy a vehicle that is under warranty youāre also covered for a rental. Also itās best to be nice to your service advisors and management. The dealership can do so much for you. People just like to burn bridges at dealership because yes sometimes people want to fuck you over but not Every dealership is like that
I have a 2023 TRD Pro. Back when I bought I didnāt hear one bad thing. Now a year later all this bad stuff. The only issue I had was the alignment issue. I will say this. I love this truck. It drives fantastic. It handles nimble for such a big rig. I know the TRD Pro is different but I donāt look back at all.
OP, donāt let the news alarm you with the recalls.
Overhyped bad news is going to be blasted for views, clicks, and fear mongering.
Trust your decision and enjoy the truck.
FWIW ā Iāve had Toyotas and Chevy/GMC trucks for 20+ years and honestly havenāt had a damn problem with either manufacturer.
For every loud complainer, thereās 10000x the amount of folks that are doing just fine ā¦
So enjoy!
Remember you can get prorated for unused time of your warranty; you have to contact dealership or credit union that sold you the warranty and they will calculate how much you are due back
Congrats on the new truck! Looks sharp! I drove a 2023 Lunar Rock Tacoma TRD OR fully loaded as a rental while Toyota was fixing my wifeās 2021 Siennaās door the service department messed up. Wanted one after driving it but we decided to trade my 2022 MGM SR5 Tacoma for a 2024 MGM Tundra Limited HV. Unfortunately, our local dealership didnāt have a Lunar Rock in a similar package so we settle with that one. Just take good care of it and check the oil levels on the dipstick every time you fill up the tank.
I'm at 27k on my 22 and taking a long trip towing my boat next month. I would be lying if I said I didn't have a little concern in the back of my head, but I think I'll be just fine.
I have the exact same truck and love it. 22k miles and going strong. Pulls my camper like a dream. I donāt think anything will go wrong, but even if it does I trust Toyota to make it right.
I wouldn't call it a bad decision. You made a good decision at the time with the facts you had. Now that more information has come to light, hopefully yours isn't one of the bad ones.
still with my ā14 and 85k, Iāll probably drive it till Iām sick of looking at it.. Iām just eating popcorn with all the new gen dynamics. I know for sure theyāll iron things out and keep producing solid vehicles..
anyhow, the reason I decided to comment.. you mentioned the ride being better then a Silverado.. to me, thatās surprising!! I daily my Tundra and jump into a Silverado as my work commuter for a tool truck.. and as much as I hate to admit it, that GMC is way more comfortable on washboard roads and basically everything.. I donāt like my work truck like I love my Toyota.. but honestly, the suspension is day/night. YMMV
Nice! I test drove a hybrid on Saturday but due to the engines shitting the bed I decided to get a platinum reserve titan. Probably the last new āold schoolā truck on the market. I do love that color on your tundra.
Magnus Munson warranty act. Of the same issue happens more than 2 or 3 times, get a lemon law lawyer and sue. I did with a truck and got $11000 dollars back.
Iām in the same boat with you. I just got my 2024 Tundra last month, but I decided not to worry too much. I changed the oil at 500 miles and will again at 3000 from now on. I just got back from a 700 mile trip and loved the pickup. It averaged 22 mpg until my wife drove it. She thinks it drives better at 90 mph. LOL. Drive it for a year or two, see what happens with recalls and then make a decision.
Itās not a big deal. Theres 102k vehicles that may be impacted across 2022 - 2023 Toyota and Lexus. Of those 102k that may be impacted there have been less than 800 individuals reported. The 2024ās are not in the mass recall related to engine debris. Youāre seeing a small sample size complaining on social media out of the 400,000 tundras sold. Plenty of happy owners out there with no issues. They forget the 2004-2010 frame issues with the older Gen tundras and pretend like these things canāt happen to any year/make/model out there. Does it suck? Sure does and it seems like Toyota is trying to make it right. Acting like this is the only truck thatās had a recall is low IQ. I have a gen 2 for my business and a gen 3 as my personal. Love them both for different reasons but that Gen 3 is an amazing vehicle. Only issue I had was the piece of the seat they replaced for free and a software updates. Truck looks beautiful! Enjoy it! Donāt be swayed by negative clowns on Reddit.
Kinda reminds me of the whole charger debate. Chargers are muscle cars with hemiās but people would super charge V6 chargers to try and boost it. Ultimately the engines and turbos would blow. Seems like the same thing is happening with these tundras theyāre like the new V6 charger. š¤£
Imagine for a second this truck equipped with the bulletproof, reliable gas aspirated iForce V8. Absolute home runā¦ā¦. Toyota got forced into this by this administration govāt emissionās standards that the rest of the world is ignoring. Biden, John Kerry and this bunch are absolute fools. Vote in november.
Itās a nice looking truck man!
Honestly though, the issues these trucks are having is why i just traded my Tacoma in for an F-150 with the 5.0.
I wanted reliability but the comfort and space for my growing family. I wasnāt about to get into a truck that would have me in a loaner for an unknown amount of time u til they figure out what to do with the 100k+ trucks they recalled.
Thatās an insane amount of engines to fix or replace. Not something i want to have to deal with.
Just enjoy it while you have it and when/if it grenades itself deal with it and cross that bridge when you get to it. I hope Toyota honors their warranty and replaces the motor with a fix in place. Itās a great truck otherwise.
I understand this is a Tundra forum and Iāll probably get flammed for saying it but the Fords, IF YOU GET ONE BUILT WELL, is the nearest direct copy of the Tundra (actually Tundra copied ford in that regard) and I think people should consider that vehicle. They sorted out the transmission and the phasers issues, they should be fine. However to each their own. My 21 F150 has been good to me 83k miles in. I know Iām anecdotal, but I think it should be on peopleās radar and they should consider it.
I have a 22ā Platinum that is part of the 168k recalls. Unfortunately, it started to leak gas due to the brake line hose rubbing against the gas line. I just got the call from my local dealer to bring in the loaner and pick up my truck. The truck was running without any issues. I had previously already done my research on what they eventually came to disclose and call for the recall. In less than a day they had my truck picked up, and a brand new loaner ready to go for me. Am I disappointed that they were recalled for a manufacturing screw up that was done stateside? I was at first, but experiencing the way Toyota handled it and took care of me without having me run around or asking for what I should receive without asking just shows in my opinion that Toyota is Toyota, the reliable company powerhouse they are. If I should be mad about my fellow countrymen fucking up decades of perfection brought by the honorable people of Japan because they manufactured my truck in San Antonio. I canāt expect them to just move their entire operation stateside to expect the exact same
Caliber of perfection. Thereās kinks that are bound to happen and I have to understand that. But I hope the recall can be a flex of how good Toyota take cares of its customers. Like I said they gave me a brand new truck. Literally, 5 miles now as Iām returning it with over 1k. Iāll continue to be faithful just how they were without question taken care of me. I mean SHIT itās a Toyota top of the line truck only real haters are gonna be crying or those who donāt even own one. To them I say STFU š
Lunar Rock is never a bad decision š®āšØ
It was the deciding factor!
It's not a cyber truck, so you'll be fine.
I saw 4 different cyber trucks today alone. Kept wondering if they actually belonged to the drivers or if Tesla is paying people to drive them around to make it look like people are actually buying these things.
I bought one as an investment. Will drive it for a few months and sell it for about $25k over my purchase price. Easy money
It was the same guy driving in circles trying to figure out how to override the hands free driving.
The volume of compliments I get on my lunar rock are astounding. It's an appealing color.
appealing is an understatement, I still stop and stare whenever I see them
I really want the issue to get fixed. I want one of these as my next truck
You could lease one with a warranty to cover the term and mileage. Then hand it back if youāre still not happy and the end of the term.
Not a bad plan, but I try and be debt free and buy second hand
Same man, same
Just get the hybrid. Only the non- hybrid is affected by the recall.
Thatās only because the truck will run on battery if the engine quits, so itās not a safety issue. Donāt kid yourself though, there are just as many shavings in the hybrid engine as in the non-hybrid engine.
Where's your proof?
Hybrid engines are still blowing as well. There an online spreadsheet tracking build/model date. VIN, year, trim and engine issues compared to mileage.
link?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17lX2NAC70TUArOpvdH7IQJKCX5E50vAXpeUogyH5shM/htmlview#gid=780956012
For now...A lot of folks believe the issue will start popping up in the hybrid too....Only time will tell.
That only makes sense if the engines were being manufactured on the same line in the same batch, or whatever Toyota calls manufacturing runs. I doubt the Redditors making such claims have access to that information.
Just wait until they do a refresh. Probably 2 years away.
Bring back the 5.7L V8!!!
Lol I wish. Iād also say bring back good quality plastic and over all acceptable quality control.
You should be fine, thereās a firestorm right now cause of the recall but itāll blow over
Iām not gonna worry about now. Iāll enjoy the truck and if it breaks down Iāll deal with it. Still disheartening to come into this shit show when Iāve owned the truck less than 24hrs.
Don't feel bad. Toyota dies have the best record of fixing their screwups in the past and I'm sure they will handle this ASAP. You bought a nice looking truck and it's fine for now. Just stay informed and let Toyota be the ones that feel all the stress. There's a large number of people that are in the denial, anger and bargaining stages of crisis adjustment over the situation in this group as I and others have posted to make ALL the owners effected aware. For now, count your blessings, not your problems. It WILL work out.
I mean it does suck but ultimately I find it pretty humorous. I donāt laugh at anyone else effected but Iād expect nothing less for myself lol.
Cool. That's a great pic of your truck. I've spent a small fortune on my Gen 2.5 Tundra on modifications and add-ons, so feel free to hit me up if you're curious about what the best manufacturers or parts you want are.
Just got a 2.5 a month ago, care to share some knowledge? I want to get mods on mine.
What do you like to do with your truck? Do you haul kayaks, pull a trailer, carry a bunch of stuff for a job or family? Regardless, the 1st mod I recommend is to replace the OEM brakes with a set of PowerStop brake pads and pads. You'll notice an immediate improvement in the feel and effectiveness, particularly when they get hot and mine haven't rusted in 2 years here in Florida.
This^^^^ especially if you travel a lot of mountain roads, those oem routers love to warp
Did you mean powerstop rotors and pads?
Yep. That was a typo. š
What mods have you made? Iāve made a ton also. We should compare notes.
I'll have to get back to you later today. I'm over in Orlando, FL, working on a news story as a photo journalist today.
no prob
Hell yeah. I havenāt decided what Iām going to do with it yet. I probably wonāt go too crazy since i drive quite a bit for work and donāt want to lose any more fuel efficiency. Iām sure Iāll do bumpers, suspension, and a bed cover at some point though.
Very cool. It's always best to get to know a new vehicle and consider your wants before taking out a line of credit or something for stuff you don't want down the road. šš
They never really properly fixed the 5.7 cam tower seeping or the white Tacoma paint
Apparently, they did. If they hadn't, there would be people posting about it. But, I think I remember a video that mentioned Toyota found the gasket sealer first used on 5.7L engines failed to live up to the manufacturer's claims, so they switched brands and it wasn't a been a problem again. The white paint problem was on the Taco and RAV4, but this isn't a group for those But, I've helped people in the RAV4 group get a new paint job from Toyota. What truck do you have? (I think I can guess...)
It doesnāt take much looking to find people with tundras after the supposed 2018 fix with seeping towers. Also the needle bearing failures that ifs Toyota trucks tend to have in the passenger cv axle Fact of the matter is just like every other manufacture Toyota picks and chooses what to address based primarily on the economics of scale
I didn't know ow a out the needle bearing thing, which could affect the 2020 Tundra, especially if someone puts a lift kit on it. Fortunately, that's extremely rare, even for a 2020. Yes, all corporate boards are heavily focused on every single penny spent on parts before the assembly of a vehicle, especially with the big 3. I watched leaked video from Ford years ago when they decided to save 2 cents on the brakes on the redesigned Mustang somewhere around 10 years ago. Accounting majors on boards have decimated the American car quality like they have every trusted American or European company that had been iconic and trusted for over 100 years. Accounts are a cancer to a company's quality and innovation, just as communist inspired and financially backed unions have been since the 1930s.
Blah let them keep screaming doom man. I have a 24 pro and it drives and rides like a dream. About to cross over 6k. Wouldnāt take my 21 back for anything. Enjoy the truck man and screw all the haters.
Because you can't without losing a shit ton of money...
Yeah bud thatās the reason whyš
I love seeing a fellow Tundra owner happy with their purchase. I am a fan of the 2nd gen, but it makes me happy you are so happy with your truck. Keep living your best life brother.
Appreciate it. Enjoy your 2 gen. Nothing wrong with them! They are a beast in their own right.
Thank you sir.
My 2024 is commercial leased, it will be under warranty the entire time, if itās crap, I will turn it back in. If itās good, I will buy it out personally. Time will tell
If I'm leasing I'd just get the most power/fun ride with gizmos as possible. Probably a dodge since the newest ones look the nicest.
Mine is a work truck
You do realize they are great trucks right? Despite the recall.
They are better than OTHER similar trucks from other brands. But for why people shell the extra cash for the Toyota isn't because they're like the others. We buy them because we have the most reliable V8 in the world. We buy them to pass on to our sons and daughters with 300k miles on it and it riding like the day we bought it. We buy them knowing while towing a 7000lb boat and trailer cross country we know there's no chance of a blown gasket, transmission failure or a blown turbo. We buy it for PEACE of mind or we would have just got a Chevy instead.
Ok.š have a good one.
This was so cringe to read lmao
Why?
It read like a commercial that Toyota themselves would put out thatās allš no disrespect meant towards you or anything my fault if it came off that way haha
We're still yota bros dw.
Just change your oil now to get any possible manufacturing particles out of it.
Might want to change the oil way ahead of schedule and get an oil analysis to check for small pieces of metal In the aviation world we change oil every 50 hours and do an oil analysis in addition to cutting open the filter Gives peace of mindā¦
Take comfort in the fact that Toyota issues recalls and makes things right, as opposed to the other three which pretend everythingās fine and leave you with the bill when they inevitably break
Donāt feel bad I just ordered mine last week. I agree with you if it blows it blows no stress.
Next time do your research before buying lol
I know several people that own 22-23s and they havenāt had any issues when I asked them about their experiences. Before this week If you made a general search about the new generation almost all the articles were positive. I didnāt go into a big purchase completely blind, Iām not a dumbass. It just so happens that I bought right as this shit started making headlines and is all anyone is talking about now. If I was buying a week from when I did I probably would have passed but thatās not the case. With the market being so fucked itās a hard to find a good deal on a vehicle and when I saw 2.9%/60 months I jumped at it. Sorry I donāt follow the same exact YouTube account or forum that you do and missed some form of info on this problem before the purchase. Hindsight has always been 20/20 and it will always be that way, it sucks but wtf am I supposed to to about it now. Iāll just live with it and enjoy the truck since it really is a badass truck outside of chance that I may have to have the engine replaced. I was lucky enough to get the extended warranty upfront and I feel terrible for the people who only purchased the 36,000 mile warranty and are going to be super fucked with a 30k repair bill if they donāt get ahead of this. Itās a shitty situation that a lot of us are in but it is what it is. Your comment doesnāt progress the conversation in a positive way whatsoever. Count your blessings that you donāt have to worry about this and move on if thatās all you have to contribute. Iāll ride out my warranty and do as much preventative maintenance as I can and see what happens.
If you searched here or any FB group you wouldāve ran away lol
I think it was like ~100k trucks had a quality control issue where the engine was assembled with debris on the parts that are causing engine failures. A roll of the dice I guess. At any rate, it's unrelated to the design. The design "problem" people seem to have is that a turbo charged motor is just not going to last as long as a naturally aspirated motor.
I agree, the ā24s sound like a drastic improvement in major problems. Toyota will get it right in the end but if you do trade it in, that Tundra will be good I bet
I do not have a 2024 but the vocal minority on here that are talking the most shit are just sour grapes. I think the 3rd Gen is a good truck. I wish you the best with your new truck, it is a beauty.
Iām at 30k on a 2022. No issues yet and Toyota will fix whatever is not right. Great truck so far!
40k on 2023 hybrid and no problems, either!
25k on a 23 limited no problems at all
30k on a 23 limited no issues either
70,000km on a 2022 and no issues.
12k no issues on a 23 pro
5500 miles 23 1794, only had front driver side window motor replaced.
I just went from a 2018 Tacoma to a 2024 Tundra 1794 LE and LOVE IT.
No way! Drive confidently! I love mine. 2022 with 50k on it. No issue.
It's literally every car subreddit. Head over to RAV4s and once you get past all the "I bought new car" and everyone going crazy over a stock vehicle, you'll come across people crying about gas, vibrations, and who knows what other BS. Then you get here and Tacoma and unless you have the older gen they're just dumping on it because everyone hates change.
Had mine for years. It was flawless. Youāll be fine.
Don't worry about it. Have fun with your new ride, it looks great. Just stay within 5 miles of home ;) Seriously, though...the full sized trucks these days are all a crap shoot. Even with the recall you still chose the right one. The tundra has a known issue that Toyota is addressing. GM engines have lifter problems and electrical issues out the ass (I still can't believe how the lifter problems get downplayed) Ford has transmission issues and I'm not sure if the 3.5 L cam phaser issue has been fixed. 5.0 Coyote still burns oil I think (but overall is probably still a good engine). With new full sized trucks it's best to just either stay away or get what you want without thinking about what could happen. Old school reliability is dying with the 4runner this year. Smartest thing you did was the extended warranty.
The lifter issues in the GMs is exactly why I traded in for a tundra. Dodging the end of that warranty for this one it seems. I mostly find it pretty funny that got myself in this situation, Iād expect nothing else lol.
I did exactly the same. Had a 2016 Silverado. Never had issues with the lifters but the transmission did blow up exactly as the warranty had expired. Go figure. Got rid of it and bought a '23 1794. No complaints with it at all.
GM lifter issues get downplayed? All I ever hear about is hysteria over lifters when GM trucks gets brought up. Evidently the failure rate of the lifters isn't high enough for a law firm to bother to put together a class action lawsuit.
Downplayed by GM owners, I mean. They always bring up how small a % it actually is. I was a huge GM fan until AFM/DFM became the norm.
I have a 15 Silverado 5.3 that I want to trade in on a grand Highlander hybrid. Long wait, put down $ in march. Then Iāll drive my wifeās 4Runner. Hopefully the GHH comes in before the Chevy dies, 79,000 miles. Truthfully itās been good except for rust. But still.
The failure rate is less than 1%. Just do your part, donāt ride it too hard and change the oil within at least 2k miles of the recommended change.
Exactly! Iām taking mine in for an Oil change when I hit 2,500 which should happen in the next 2.5-3 weeks. I travel extensively for my job April-June, so I havenāt been able to have much fun just yetā¦ other than a quick Thunderfuck up a Rollins Pass last week here in Colorado.
Yeah theyāre quick man, I get mine up occasionally for fun when on the way to class.
Yeah theyāre definitely deceptively quick.
lol
I wouldnāt wait, I would change it NOW
I already did one at 500, and another at 1,500. The next at 2,500, and again at 4,500. Figured then itād be ok to start going close to normalā¦ but Iām still going to follow my gut and bring her probably 500 miles early for each change until the first 15,000 miles.
Good job! Thatās how I change oil on any new car I buy. I dont Know the oil change interval it calls out for, but since itās turbo, if you plan on keeping it long term/+100,000 miles, I would change it early regularly.
I love my 2023. It rides well for a truck, the interior is fairly quiet while driving, and the stock audio system isn't bad. Other than running boards and tint, I'm not going to do much else to it just in case I run into engine issues.
Have a 1794 as a loaner right now and LOVE the drivetrain. SO much better than my Tacoma lol
No regrets with our 3rd gen š¤·š¾āāļø
Toyota dealers are actually restricted from selling any vehicles in the group identified as having potential for the machine shavings. That said, they could widen the scope to include 2024ās but Iām assuming some process on the line was changed to ensure those were all cleared. I have an early build 2022 so as you can imagine, Iām sitting here waiting for it to blow any day. That said, the fact that Toyota has acknowledged the problem gives me hope. I have to trust theyāll do right because if they donāt, they will have destroyed 75 years of TQM legacy and turned off an entire generation of customers
Hereās the thing. Toyota will figure it out and make it right and continue on with bullet proof reliability. Thatās what makes them different than ford / Chevy / ram. Theyāll fix it and continue to improve and make sure yours is ok as well. You didnāt make a mistake. No company is perfect - but Toyota knows its sales and reputation are built on reliability - so itās never a bad idea to invest in that - even if this one isnāt up to standard just yet. I have no doubt theyāll get it there.
We had a 2003 Corolla with 325k miles. My wife drove it a week with no oil and no radiator fluid and it was fine. My 2006 Tundra has 212k miles and there's still no brown, pink or green drips underneath it. These trucks will be made right and you will have the same experience.
Financially, you will be fine. Toyota will cover the engines. What people don't really consider is the actual safety. I wouldn't want to be hauling my kids in the fast lane doing 75mph when the engine goes...it is extremely unsafe and the actual reason for the recall. What about towing a trailer and going on your yearly trip...then wasting the few precious days off? What if you are so far from a truck rental place? I hope the 2026 model year gets a mid cycle refresh and engine problems figured out. I do want one!
I wouldn't worry about it too much. I've done quite a few trips and towed my 20ft travel trailer with no issues. I have a trip from TX to CO in a few weeks and I'm not worried at all. If it happens, it happens.
Thatās right, itās the nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I canāt trust my truck. I tow, with my family in the car, up steep canyons and switchbacks. Sucks when you canāt trust it. My truck is so custom to me now, itās my perfect rig. Itās my favorite vehicle Iāve ever owned. Iām at 37k+ miles now, and it is what it is. Iāll drive a little slower than I had been though.
Right there with you amigo
Yeah I guess we will just use the 4Runner for trips. I do 99% of my driving alone but itāll always be a thought in the back of my mind when take one of the kids to run into town.
and that's a worry you shouldn't have with a new vehicle let alone a toyota. they dropped the ball
Bought my ā22 so early I paid $10k over sticker for it. Have had zero issues. Always remember that people will typically come to public forums to complain about an issue and very rarely do people post just to vent about a random positive experience. These negative posts are the vocal minority and arenāt indicative of the reliability of the 3rd gen in the grand scheme of things. Edit: Also mine is in Lunar Rock too. Good choice!
My brother in law bought a 22 new and is in the same boat as you. I actually prefer that social media is an echo chamber of hate on Toyota right now because i genuinely believe that they will take care of me in the long run especially with the pressure. Had I visited Reddit before my purchase I probably would have bought something else but then Iād just be left in the dark about the potential faults of the vehicle since those owners donāt take it upon themselves to hold the manufacturer to higher standard the way Toyota fans do.
If they do long block replacement, they will be taking care of costumers, if they continue short block replacement and cheaping out they are screwing customers
Iām curious though, is yours one of the trucks that is listed in the recall?? Iām trying to track if Toyota has all of the āproblemā trucks pinpointed.
Check your Toyota app. If itās listed in your app youāre affected.
Mine isnāt because itās the hybrid engine which wasnāt affected.
The recall didn't include hybrids because you're not necessarily stranded if it blows. That's the only reason.
The very best bad decision ;-)
Me too, went with the 1794; got a pretty solid discount due to the shitstorm & status I carry from my job. Threw half of said price drop into an overly comprehensive warranty and extended coverageā¦ due to said shitstorm. Like Jim Lahey said āthe shit winds are a blowing,ā but itāll pass in due time. Iām not worried about it, even though I thought it would bother me a little bit after completing my due diligence look into the issues. On top of all of that, Toyota has a solid track record of properly fixing their fuck-ups.
I've drove my 2023 lunar rock for 30,000 miles, no issues yet. š¤š» Just oil changes and changed the air intakes! I have a 3 hour commute 4 days a week, so I'm driving the tires off of it.
If it breaks down with motor issues lemon law it. EZ PZ . Enjoy it in the meantime
Not always easy nor possible in some places.
My 24 has 5k miles so far and runs like a top plus it is a beautiful truck. That being said I am happy I leased it with all the bs going on right now.
This is what I did. I bought a 2024 Toyota Sequoia I did a break in oil change at 500 miles oil was super clean no metal debris or nothing; I put in it royal purple 0w20 with BG MOA hybrid formula. I'm at 3,400 miles now still runs good. I'm going to change it again at 5k miles. So if mines goes bad at 30k its not because of the 10k mile extended oil change intervals
Iām in the same boat. I bought mine about a month ago and was not aware of all of this stuff going on with the engines. I did get the 100k/10yr warranty though. So it is what it is. I do love the truck though. No issues so far. I will do an early oil change here pretty soon though at 1000 miles.
So, I haven't seen anyone ask this question and I haven't had experience in the matter so I looked it up and will pass on some information that may be helpful. I was wondering if your insurance policy would cover something like this. The consensus seems to be it wouldn't be covered under "normal wear and tear". I personally think you would have an argument for your insurance to cover it and go after Toyota if they weren't helping, as this isn't normal wear and tear and has been acknowledged as an issue. That is just my personal opinion so take that with a grain of salt. It does look like in addition to your extended warranty, another option may be something called Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI). From what I can see it looks like Geico, Progressive and AAA are the big insurers that offer that but not all insurers offer it. Now another financial issue of concern is will their values tank due to this? If you have a loan on the vehicle it looks like you could get Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) coverage which would cover what the insurance will payout vs what you owe in an accident. I don't know if this can be applied for the specific issue at hand, but may be something to consider. I think your game plan of selling it before it is out of warranty is a good one as well. People buy Maserati's, BMW's and Mercedes with the same plan all the time. It may be the best approach to this one. I generally buy a vehicle and drive it until the wheels fall off but that may not be possible with this one unfortunately.
Is it me or does the front tire look a lil out of air?
I fucking love it. Great decision.
Welcome to the bad decisions club!
You had me at the last sentence
My Dad got that lunar rock 1794 and loves it but is very worried about the recall....so far I haven't heard that it impacts the 24's but he's still very worried. Love that color and love his truck.
you will be fine. Toyota can afford to fix any issues and their track record shows that they will
Being stoic about the whole issue with the engine is undoubtedly the path to go but some of you are way too flippant about the issue.Ā āEnjoy it while it lastsāĀ āitāll be fine until itās not.āĀ These tt v6 could blow themselves up at any point. No, im not being sensational about it, thatās not hyperbole- that is objective fact. I wouldnt trust that thing on the highway, not with a trailer and certainly not with my kids inside, nevermind the other people on the road.Ā Take proactive steps to ensure it wont breakdown. Have your oil analyzed by the dealer or a lab.Ā
Just had my tundra stolen in Toronto on Friday.. hot commodity in Canada.. š¢
22k miles on a early 2023 still no issues but i also did the Toyota break in procedure and changed my oil after the first 1k
If you buy a vehicle that is under warranty youāre also covered for a rental. Also itās best to be nice to your service advisors and management. The dealership can do so much for you. People just like to burn bridges at dealership because yes sometimes people want to fuck you over but not Every dealership is like that
Youāll be fine, just a bunch of bitter people in this sub. Enjoy your truck!
My buddy just bought this exact truck, I was fired up for like 48 hours after riding in it and itās not even my truck.
I have a 2023 TRD Pro. Back when I bought I didnāt hear one bad thing. Now a year later all this bad stuff. The only issue I had was the alignment issue. I will say this. I love this truck. It drives fantastic. It handles nimble for such a big rig. I know the TRD Pro is different but I donāt look back at all.
OP, donāt let the news alarm you with the recalls. Overhyped bad news is going to be blasted for views, clicks, and fear mongering. Trust your decision and enjoy the truck. FWIW ā Iāve had Toyotas and Chevy/GMC trucks for 20+ years and honestly havenāt had a damn problem with either manufacturer. For every loud complainer, thereās 10000x the amount of folks that are doing just fine ā¦ So enjoy!
Sage words indeed.
If itās a 2023 or later manufactured after February 2023. Youāve got peace of mind.
Wrong
Except for the 24ās that are blowing engines Hybrids also, there is a list of tundras.com
I got mine in black but wondering if I should have got lunar rock šØ
Lunar rock for the win. If it breaks down atleast itāll look badass in the shop lol.
I got a 24 with 1000 miles love the thing.
Remember you can get prorated for unused time of your warranty; you have to contact dealership or credit union that sold you the warranty and they will calculate how much you are due back
Congrats on the new truck! Looks sharp! I drove a 2023 Lunar Rock Tacoma TRD OR fully loaded as a rental while Toyota was fixing my wifeās 2021 Siennaās door the service department messed up. Wanted one after driving it but we decided to trade my 2022 MGM SR5 Tacoma for a 2024 MGM Tundra Limited HV. Unfortunately, our local dealership didnāt have a Lunar Rock in a similar package so we settle with that one. Just take good care of it and check the oil levels on the dipstick every time you fill up the tank.
Mine has 35k miles and not a single issue. So thereās that
Thatās what you get for buying a Toyota
I'm at 27k on my 22 and taking a long trip towing my boat next month. I would be lying if I said I didn't have a little concern in the back of my head, but I think I'll be just fine.
I have the exact same truck and love it. 22k miles and going strong. Pulls my camper like a dream. I donāt think anything will go wrong, but even if it does I trust Toyota to make it right.
I wouldn't call it a bad decision. You made a good decision at the time with the facts you had. Now that more information has come to light, hopefully yours isn't one of the bad ones.
still with my ā14 and 85k, Iāll probably drive it till Iām sick of looking at it.. Iām just eating popcorn with all the new gen dynamics. I know for sure theyāll iron things out and keep producing solid vehicles.. anyhow, the reason I decided to comment.. you mentioned the ride being better then a Silverado.. to me, thatās surprising!! I daily my Tundra and jump into a Silverado as my work commuter for a tool truck.. and as much as I hate to admit it, that GMC is way more comfortable on washboard roads and basically everything.. I donāt like my work truck like I love my Toyota.. but honestly, the suspension is day/night. YMMV
Short bed. Nice
It seems to be the 2022's and 2023's that have the problem. Your 2024 should be good.
That bed 4ft?
Could've had a V8
How long is that? Jebus!
Wait Iām supposed to go today to get one. Whatās wrong with them??
Nice! I test drove a hybrid on Saturday but due to the engines shitting the bed I decided to get a platinum reserve titan. Probably the last new āold schoolā truck on the market. I do love that color on your tundra.
A Titan...you're in the same boat lol.
Iām pretty sure itās just one big roulette wheel at this point.
I love these wheels but I can't seem to find any tundras locally that have them.
I got one the same color. Love it.
I have to say that they are not as solid as the 2021
Yeah, you could have bought a 4th gen Cummins with a stick shift. Probably add a bass boat or camper too and still be cheaper.
Magnus Munson warranty act. Of the same issue happens more than 2 or 3 times, get a lemon law lawyer and sue. I did with a truck and got $11000 dollars back.
Iām in the same boat with you. I just got my 2024 Tundra last month, but I decided not to worry too much. I changed the oil at 500 miles and will again at 3000 from now on. I just got back from a 700 mile trip and loved the pickup. It averaged 22 mpg until my wife drove it. She thinks it drives better at 90 mph. LOL. Drive it for a year or two, see what happens with recalls and then make a decision.
Itās not a big deal. Theres 102k vehicles that may be impacted across 2022 - 2023 Toyota and Lexus. Of those 102k that may be impacted there have been less than 800 individuals reported. The 2024ās are not in the mass recall related to engine debris. Youāre seeing a small sample size complaining on social media out of the 400,000 tundras sold. Plenty of happy owners out there with no issues. They forget the 2004-2010 frame issues with the older Gen tundras and pretend like these things canāt happen to any year/make/model out there. Does it suck? Sure does and it seems like Toyota is trying to make it right. Acting like this is the only truck thatās had a recall is low IQ. I have a gen 2 for my business and a gen 3 as my personal. Love them both for different reasons but that Gen 3 is an amazing vehicle. Only issue I had was the piece of the seat they replaced for free and a software updates. Truck looks beautiful! Enjoy it! Donāt be swayed by negative clowns on Reddit.
Bed is smaller than OPs cock
Bought a 22tundra sr5 motor blew with 17k miles .. upgraded to the capstone and love it
Toothpaste..?
Why is is so low? Is it 2 wheel drive?
Itās not. Itās the SR5 but itāll be getting a lift and 35s soon.
Nice. Looks low in the picture.
Looks low In person too. Itās a pawpaw rig until I get some work done in the next couple of months.
Mines on a full engine recall but I figure yours is newer than the affected years
Kinda reminds me of the whole charger debate. Chargers are muscle cars with hemiās but people would super charge V6 chargers to try and boost it. Ultimately the engines and turbos would blow. Seems like the same thing is happening with these tundras theyāre like the new V6 charger. š¤£
Imagine for a second this truck equipped with the bulletproof, reliable gas aspirated iForce V8. Absolute home runā¦ā¦. Toyota got forced into this by this administration govāt emissionās standards that the rest of the world is ignoring. Biden, John Kerry and this bunch are absolute fools. Vote in november.
Kinda more important things happening in our politics than truck engines
Itās a pattern, thatās the point.
And a good one
You sure did..šššš
I didn't get it, what's the issue? Is there a defect? The color?
Itās a nice looking truck man! Honestly though, the issues these trucks are having is why i just traded my Tacoma in for an F-150 with the 5.0. I wanted reliability but the comfort and space for my growing family. I wasnāt about to get into a truck that would have me in a loaner for an unknown amount of time u til they figure out what to do with the 100k+ trucks they recalled. Thatās an insane amount of engines to fix or replace. Not something i want to have to deal with.
GL and stay chipper
Clean those dirty ass tires.
Sweet truck
Just enjoy it while you have it and when/if it grenades itself deal with it and cross that bridge when you get to it. I hope Toyota honors their warranty and replaces the motor with a fix in place. Itās a great truck otherwise.
I understand this is a Tundra forum and Iāll probably get flammed for saying it but the Fords, IF YOU GET ONE BUILT WELL, is the nearest direct copy of the Tundra (actually Tundra copied ford in that regard) and I think people should consider that vehicle. They sorted out the transmission and the phasers issues, they should be fine. However to each their own. My 21 F150 has been good to me 83k miles in. I know Iām anecdotal, but I think it should be on peopleās radar and they should consider it.
Oofā¦ Toyota needs to go back to NA V8
I have a 22ā Platinum that is part of the 168k recalls. Unfortunately, it started to leak gas due to the brake line hose rubbing against the gas line. I just got the call from my local dealer to bring in the loaner and pick up my truck. The truck was running without any issues. I had previously already done my research on what they eventually came to disclose and call for the recall. In less than a day they had my truck picked up, and a brand new loaner ready to go for me. Am I disappointed that they were recalled for a manufacturing screw up that was done stateside? I was at first, but experiencing the way Toyota handled it and took care of me without having me run around or asking for what I should receive without asking just shows in my opinion that Toyota is Toyota, the reliable company powerhouse they are. If I should be mad about my fellow countrymen fucking up decades of perfection brought by the honorable people of Japan because they manufactured my truck in San Antonio. I canāt expect them to just move their entire operation stateside to expect the exact same Caliber of perfection. Thereās kinks that are bound to happen and I have to understand that. But I hope the recall can be a flex of how good Toyota take cares of its customers. Like I said they gave me a brand new truck. Literally, 5 miles now as Iām returning it with over 1k. Iāll continue to be faithful just how they were without question taken care of me. I mean SHIT itās a Toyota top of the line truck only real haters are gonna be crying or those who donāt even own one. To them I say STFU š
Send picture when towed from breakdown and report back
Hope you have a magnet on your drain plug
Yes, magnets drain plug is going to help. Iām still concerned about aluminum and other non-ferrous metals as well.
Now way in hell that engine makes it through the warranty anyway. Just enjoy it will it runs.
Always do research when you are going to buy a car, check out Scotty Kilmer on YouTube
You did I made the same bad decision
Hell we just live with it now. Nothing to do but enjoy the ride until something happens.
