3RD GEN TOYOTA TUNDRA HUGE PROBLEMS!!! WATCH BEFORE YOU BUY!!! 

Lesson 1, DO NOT MODIFY VEHICLES UNTIL AFTER ITS OUT OF WARRANTY! It gives the dealer a way out!

What the hell toyota!! You went from a great reputation to in the gutter in one generation!

I am so glad that I bought a 2021 Tundra. Old school is proving to the the best school.

Toyota is killing their reputation.

Appreciate your video. My family is a Toyota family as well. I have a Corolla, Camry and 4Runner. I’m in the market for a truck but from what I’m seeing, I’m gonna sit out till these problems are solved. Hope Toyota is watching these videos.

I have a 2023 Taco PRO, bought before new 4 banger turbos and absolutley love it.

So many gimmicks these new trucks have. The more money you spend, just more gimmicks, not a better truck. I shudder everytime I see manufacturers going with digital dashes, etc.

So sad what’s happened to Toyota quality. They went from a top tier manufacturer to a total joke. We have 4 Toyota’s in our driveway but will probably never buy another one…

I was weeks away from buying a 24 Tundra Pro and when these quality issues developed, I ended up buying a 24 HD2500 ZR2 with a 6.6 V8. Love my new truck. I hope Toyota buys back your Tundra. Good luck. MSRP was 88k and got it for 77k plus fees.

Next thing to go is the turbo and engine.

Guess I’ll keep my V8 2021 😂😂

I also have an issue with my 2024 SR5 (stock) vibrating 65-70mph. 10500 miles. Truck is also plagued with rattles.

Sorry to see you have these issues, I have a base SR Tundra (23) that hasn't been problem free either, lots of interior rattles plague mine and now I hear the motor might have to come apart to fix a manufacturing defect with contamination, the Executive Team that overseen this platform should really be ashamed of the product they built, along with upper management. Can't wait to see how this works out for you, but in all honestly you have a great looking truck. My next go-to truck will be a F150 5.0 though

I paid 56k for a brand new 2017 Tundra crew max sr-5 with a 6" lift, and with custom leather interior. Now 7 years latter and 63K miles on it. The sun has been hard on the paint and its in the sun everyday in Arizona. I have 15k budget to put a new interior, paint job and bits like new trim pieces. Essentially my goal for it to look and run brand new. I have zero issue with my truck. I do mean zero, except from natural ageing and road use. I have look at Toyotas new trucks. Not interested at all!. I believe a good detail job will save me 25k from not buying a new Tundra and get me another 7 years of happiness.

Yeah lift kits. Gives them big way out

Sorry to hear about your truck issues and the way Toyota is treating you. Those 3rd Generation Tundras are over priced and have been nothing but problems for a lot of people. I heard Toyota just did a recall of about 100,000 3rd Generation Tundras due to concerns that machining debris may be causing internal engine damage. So glad I got a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro before the ruined the Tundra.

I recently bought a 2021 tacoma. I'm glad I did because I knew this would happen with the current trucks.

Bought an early 24 and I’m sick. Hopefully mine will dodge the bulleet

I have a 22 1794 TRD no modifications yet. No issues

I love driving my 2022 Tundra Limited_ my heart goes out to anyone having these issues.

I had a 2023 limited. Just sold it. I won’t go into the list of issues. It takes too long to type. I’ll just say my truck was in the shop 10 times in 12 months. So away it went last month. Just an fyi I had mine leveled. Every chance the dealer had they blamed the leveling.

Anytime you lift a brandnew truck from Toyota under warrenty they will give you problems about your warrenty when you have an issue

Sad how bad they screwed these trucks up I love my 2020 tacoma and was looking to upgrade to the 24 I refuse to buy it now too many of these stories out there

I heard the only place Tundras are made now is in Texico. I wonder if any are going to Japan, you would think they have to be. We've lived with the quality issues of our own manufacturers for many decades now so we're used to it but imagine what they're saying about us when they get these garbage trucks over there!!!

Damn, we have the same exact Platinum we bought new in 2022. We were just debating if we should trade out of the truck before the value drops.

Thank you for the honest review 💪🏽😎

I’m keeping my 2020 Limited Tundra with the 5.7 V8. No issues

Bro thats a damn good looking truck! Total bs they are blaming the lift kit, there are hundreds of thousands of lifted trucks that dont blow up transmissions and differentials. Are they blaming lifts for the 100,000 engines on recall too?😂. I wish you good luck in getting all that sorted out its a bummer

Sorry to hear that . I have a 23 Limited- 26K - no issues yet. I do think they need to relook at better quality control on what they put on the truck . They need better door panels etc . Just need to up the parts they put on the truck. Good luck with your truck . Hope you get what you are looking for.

We need a class action lawsuit to repair the losses of all tundra buyers. We lost trade in value for this.

2020 Pro here. Soo glad I'm "stuck" with a 2nd gen.. 😜 plus that bulletproof 5.7

You would get the same push back with all other manufactures. I mean think of it, a lift kit and especially not good ones, can severally alter the vehicle and why should the manufacture be on the hook for that?

Love the honest truth!

I keep seeing videos like this lately, from various RU-vidrs talking about problems with the new Tundra. I was going to get one, too, but didn't like several aspects of their redesign, as well as the high prices and dealership markups. I decided to get a new Nissan Titan at a discount and it's been good. Seeing videos like this help confirm to me that I made a good choice. For what it's worth, we have a Toyota Highlander, and it has some issue with the microphone not working now, which makes the radio stop working when it happens, and reportedly it's because we haven't subscribed to the SOS service. Like, seriously Toyota?

Did you ask them to cover your truck getting keyed under warranty too?

Wait until you get your recall notice on the motor. Bummer to hear all this. My 5th gen 4runner is phenomenal in all ways. Lifted and an overlander, I've never had my dealership decline anything. Even replaced my steering rack under warranty and never questioned my lift and all.

Which is better in long term reliability? This or the f250?

Man, i wanted to switch up my gladiator for one of these. Nevermind.

I have a 2023 tundra I have a alignment problems Whenever it’s 60° I try to roll up my window. It rolls right back I hear noise every time I put the car in reverse Makes a weird noise When I had 300 miles on the truck The truck stalled when I had 2000 miles the truck stalled one driving truck was in the shop for two weeks couldn’t fix it Lotta problems I am trying to get mine bought out by the Lemon law It’s bull crap

The 23's and 24's have been a nightmare for most owners. Engine, diff, bearings and the list goes on. It's getting so bad most people are starting to hit up the lemon law because these things have been in the shop so often. There is something seriously wrong with the way the parts themselves have been designed for this model.

Why would they not cover the Torque converter? I mean you are within both the bumper to bumper and powertrain. Did they push your liftvkit cause it?

I was in the market for a new Toyota but after looking and driving some the quality control is gone ! I'm looking at something else maybe Nissan ? or wait another year !

So glad I didn't trade in my 2020. Had a feeling there would be issues so decided I would see how these shook out before trading in. I will just keep my no issue Tundra.

Please explain to me the train of thought You know them well You're not supposed to buy a new car as soon as of the production line You have to give it a couple years for them to work out the kinks I've been talking about this for the past couple years I got Lexus GX 2016 I did not buy it in 2014 or 13 when it came out I waited a couple years I always do that with all my cars. Yes always get a brand new car and keep it as long as you can however never get a brand new car from redesign cycle everybody knows that come on

As type 1, how did you feel after receiving cell therapy? Did you reduce your insulin use? Can you please make another video about this

The rattles on the lift too?

I get problems with one model but Toyota is having serious problems with a lot of their models now. My new 2020 Camry turned a Toyota fan in to a Toyota hater. I dumped it before its second oil change because it was the most annoying car I ever owned and I didn't trust it to last.

Also, you saw the truck build BEFORE YOU BOUGHT IT, SO DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT QUALITY!

I really wanted to get one guess I'll wait until all the issues are fixed

Sucks that they are shafting you on the lift, and it’s disappointing to see that so much blame is being pointed to that mod. Did you buy the truck used and what made you decide to add an aftermarket lift? Where you advised that it could void warranty when you did so? Hope you can get things resolved. It’s a great truck and sucks to see Toyota not helping like they should.

What about this new engine recall for Tundra and the LX, did you get any information about that ?

Just your rear main bearing going out. They should have it fixed a a year or two. Lift kits are a easy way to void warranty.

#1 engine main bearing next to fail. We loved our Toyotas but warranty coverage is always a hassle. Always a coin toss if they’ll cover it.

Another example not to get aftermarket lifts when under warranty. Blame the design if you want but not the Texas assembly plant.

Why wouldn’t they warranty a torque converter on a 2023? Do you have more than 60,000 miles, which is the power train warranty.

Sorry for your loss , player this is just the beginning, it’s going to be a bumpy ride with the dealership!!! Hold on !!

Who keyed or scratched the entire driver side?

Think the Tundra is still assembled in Texas

I have a 2024 SR5 TRD, dame rumble/vibration at highway speeds. Did the torque converter fix the issue? They have already put a rear diff in mine, it has 2k miles. I have zero rattles, it's fun to drive, but that FN rumble that they won't fix now is crapola.

Hey, at least it looks awesome 😎

Sorry to hear that about your truck, thats alot of money to pay for those kind of problems

2013 tundra double cab, work truck package. 4.6 4x…… love it 👍🏾

Owner of a 4Runner built in Japan rock solid.

I think the 2nd gens are very reliable not sure about 3rd gens but of late lots of issues.

I have a 2023 Tundra TRD PRO with no problems!

Check out the magnueson moss act, I had to threaten them with it, then they allowed it under warranty.

Hey Man glad to catch your video. But I hate to say it but your video is about the same as every 2022 to 2024 Tundra videos that are popping up lol. You are for sure alot calmer than I would be if in same situation lol. Ya everything you said seams like the norm for these. That whole bull shit of not giving you a truck when they have yours is bull shit. Your paying for one and not able to drive it. And As you was talking about what was wrong and the warranty. I knew before you said it they would tru to blame the lift kit. That is the only thing they have to make up for there incompetence. They sound like these Democrats that are in the government lol. Ya after they just put out this big recall of engine failure. I will stick with the bulletproof 2021 and under Tundra's. I still love my 2014 limited that has 195,000 miles, and "knock on wood" the the biggest thing I had to replace was front rotors and tie rod end. Oh and I think I need to replace the shocks next. I have 35's on it and getting maybe about 14 to 15 mpg, thats biggest negative. Hey Bud hope you have luck, but I would say get rid of that truck. Or find out about that big recall it affects 2022 and 2023 Tundra's

My brand new 86000 Silverado makes awful suspension noise in the rear and the dealer blames me because I had it under coated with fluid film which essentially is a lubricant.

This is the exact reason when all the fanboys were talking about how great the new tundra was in October of 2021 I purchased a V-8 Trd pro lunar rock not one issue same exact thing with my 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser if you want a truck that will last you the rest of your life go find a 2020 or a 21 tundra your situation sucks, bro I would get rid of that truck as soon as possible best of luck to you, man

I put my money towards a vehicle that has proven to be reliable, looks fantastic and most of all, is made by a company that offers CHOICES to their customers. 2.7 litre TTV6, 3.5 Litre, Hybrid powertrain, TTV6 or naturally aspirated 5.0 litre V8 (one of the sweetest recent V8s). My personal truck is an F150 hybrid Powerboost and I lease/own all the other powertrains for my work vehicles. Don't sell your identity to a "brand"....... shop smart.

"Toyota Enthusiast thru and thru" nd you have those models? LOL

Unbelievable Toyota!! Come on get it together would you!!!

The shims solution had me at a loss for words.

And to top it off they're like $10,000 more. So disappointing. I have a 2021 V8 Tundra, no wonder the dealership is trying to buy my truck and get me into these crappy new models, hell nah!!

I got a 2020 1794 v8 5.7 and i will never trade it for any new pickup truck from this area. V6 twin are just garbage and i have no clue why they ditch the v8. I love my tundra and 2020 was the best year

Get the 5.7 V8 if you want to last a lifetime

Well now you know what it is like being a FORD truck owner. Welcome to the club By now Toyota management has learned that buyers will pay any premium for their brand. Has the lower in the engine started to create mysterious noises? Let me guess.... you also paid WAY over sticker price too.

As a non RU-vidr I made a video discussing my experience with the 2022.. .. I love the way it drove. But it was an over priced hunk of junk. 2 weeks ago I traded it in for a 24 4runner. I took a hit.. but I'm happy.

They offer liftkits from factory now, so that's not an excuse.

Sell it before diminished value hits.

It’s got fake exhaust sounds. What do you expect

Yea, I was waiting to hear you say the dealer blames the tires, the lift or both. If anybody is looking at a Tundra a late model second Gen is the best bet. Seems Toyota really shot themselves in the foot with these and Toyota service has been horribly unreliable for years.

Wait until your engine blows. Mine made it to 28,000 miles before she seized up. Toyota claims it debris in the block casting, this is all BS. They’re also recalling the Lexus SUVs with the same engine with blocks made in Japan. There’s a major design flaw with this engine. Stay far far away from the new Toyotas.

*shimming the interior trim?* 😢 😭

Never owned a Toyota. Test drove them and never liked them.

you don't know where tundra's are built?

Step #1. Do not lift your new vehicle 4 inches higher. Yeah it sucks these trucks are having issues, but still. Gotta be smart.

The new Taco is made in Mexico. I am not buying anything built in Mexico.

They are full of it. If the lift did that. They have the most fragile truck in America.

Expensive ass lemon!!!

Sorry man what a piece of shit. YES Mexico - those days are gone really surprised.

American quality...

Sounds like you had a 💩dealership which unfortunately is too common these days. They didn’t want to eat the warranty repair rate.

If you don’t like it you don’t buy it

On top of making bad products now Toyota has always had the worst customer service.

You deserve everything for selling a 2022 for a 2024 just to be a lifted pavement princess

Sell it!

Once they started being built in North America the brand went down. Sorry to say that but it's the truth. Toyota is putting the final nail in their coffin!

Too many weird tatoos, no warranty coverage, and the loft kit

This 3rd Gen Tundra has been problematic since it rolled off the line..Do your research! I’m sure you paid a mark up on a already overpriced garbage truck.. Never Mod A New Vehicle until it’s out of warranty!! 🙄
