Owners PANIC Selling Toyota Tundra. Dealers Refuse Tundra on Trade. 

Like all things on the internet, this too shall pass. My prediction: Toyota will do the right thing, offer extended warranties and you'll see more reliable times ahead.

Remember that one time when we said the death of the V8 was going to be the downfall of the Tundra? Yeah...

Very dark days are ahead, days of increased cheap mass production, lack of self repair, and poor reliability. Old or new, buy what works for you, we need to stop worshipping brands and corporations, they don’t care about us.

Toyota is not replacing the engine, they are only replacing the short block. Now, the CarFax will report an engine repair, not a new crate engine. Tundra’s resale value is in the toilet.

We have entered an era where all vehicles are junk. Too many computers, too much tech, tons of plastic and constant changes to engineered components and you have a recipe for unreliability. Oh, and they want vehicles off the line faster than ever.

Nissan should exploit this by restarting the V8 Titan and sell it at a reasonable price. They could move some loyal Toyota customers to their brand.

The remedy would be to repurchase them all back.

I’m so happy I didn’t jump and buy one of these. My 2015 V8 Tundra is staying with me.

People are seriously fools for buying this when Toyota has told everyone they don't yet have a fix.

$12,000 off a vehicle that will lose 50% of its value is not a good deal. Wake up people!

Traded my 2024 1794 TRD with 3900 miles. Turned it in 6/3/24. It was bad from day one. Poorly put together, gaps , wind noise, drivers seat not working properly (no fix per Toyota), rear door handle hard to pull open, plastic bumpers, flexing hood at highway speed, hood pops loud when disengaging, under powered audio system,. My 4th Toyota, this breed is not a real Toyota that we know from the past. Engine aside it’s low quality for the price. I always forget to mention the visible zippers on the front seats, looks like aftermarket seat covers! I have 2 words for Toyota, pay attention.

Toyota out here making my Ram look reliable 😂

Can’t really blame the dealers. Nobody wants a truck that’s probably gonna sit on the lot for months.

Common sense: No replacement for displacement!

By the way, Toyota reputation is now ruined. They will not crawl out of this very easily and they’re gonna lose millions of dollars on potential new buyers and on this recall. No one will own a tundra in the future until they totally redesigned that truck. It’s a piece of junk.

That really sucks being stuck with a ticking time bomb truck… Toyota you really lost your truck market in the US.

I wouldn't trust it to save my life! Overpriced and unreliable

In the year 2024 jeep owers make videos to talk crap about toyota reliability. We have come full circle folks

What a full Hemmoroidal flare up Toyota has caused.

5.7L V8 engine value just went up, Toyota should have never went away from the 5.7L. It is rock solid and reliable.

I have a 2010 Tundra CM paid off. It has 173k miles with lots of life left. Never selling, so 22+ Tundra guys don't even ask.

toyota had the best full size and mid size trucks for years. they had a great reputation. when i bought mine i didn't even look for another brand. now they have thrown that all away.

No matter the fix it's still V6 turbo. I am not buying it for that reason alone. Nothing screams reliability and quality about the new redesigned Tundra.

Feels like Nissan picked a terrible time to stop making a full sized truck... With them being the only ones offering non turbo options now they are seeing the Frontier growing considerably in popularity.

Something that carguy touched on in the video is that the number of vehicles affected is estimated at 1%. This is wrong and you can see it for yourself at 12:00. Toyota’s actual response was effectively ‘we don’t know how many vehicles are affected, but we had to state a percentage affected so we put 1’. This disclosure is a pretty substantial red flag.

Imagine paying 80K for a V6 truck and then this 😂

Imagine spending $78k+ on a damn Tundra trd pro… knowing you could’ve gotten a Gen3 Raptor at that same price that outperforms the Tundra in every single off-road performance metric 💀😂

The problem with trade-in value on all of these 70k+ trucks is that they are more luxury vehicle than truck, and nothing depreciates more than luxury vehicles

those rebuilds will never be as good as factory

The only reason the hybrid not included is the battery will keep vehicle in motion long enough to get to the side of the road.

I'll keep my 2008 5.7!

The guy that trades his truck every 2yrs, dealerships must love this 🤡. Just lease at that point.

The only proper fix for spun bearings is a new engine Its not gonna just blow over 😂

What Toyota really said with this recall was “the engine assembly was sloppy”. That’s why people are dumping them.

Try to lemon law and if not dump it. Not worth it, he’s assuming it will stabilize in value. What happens when Toyota says the short block replacement is fine and the customer gets nothing else?

Toyota really shot themselves in the foot lately. Gone are the days of reliability and dependability. They MAY redeem themselves once cars become full electric, but by then, all manufacturers should be on the same playing field. The Toyota giant has fallen.

"I think it'll blow over" Oh no it won't. In the last week we've had exploding Tundra engines, Toyota caught lying on MPG for many vehicles, AND lying on SAFETY certifications. I fully expect this Tundra failure is much more than metal shavings. Odd it's hitting their dual Turbo "jacked" V6's. Bad CAM shaft or worse too much compression from the twin turbos effect another internal part? It's something bigger and it's not bore shavings.

Don’t get rid of your v8 tundras

Maybe the real frustration amongst purchasers is that these types of issues remind us that these new breed of trucks truly suck and are nowhere near what their selling price suggests. Even without a recall a new vehicle traded in will still get smacked with depreciation. Keep what you have and love the hell out of it...

The reason the internet is blowing up over this is because reliability/durability is really the only thing Toyota gives you. Buying a Toyota means getting old tech, underpowered low efficiency engines, middle of the road materials and build, with very little flare. Very much the opposite of modern or luxury, but they just. Keep. Going. If customers wanted a bunch of cutting edge stuff that is basically worthless, in a vehicle with constant breakdowns and recalls, they would buy an f150😂

I have a 2023 Tundra on the recall list. So far it’s running great! I’m going to wait this out and see what the remedy is going to be.

The new turbo 4 is not going to be problem free. I think it will have similar fate

The solution is simple, replace the engines.

Toyota will play its hand out just like Hyundai did winding down their warranty period with the 2.4 Theta direct injection engine. In implementing a longer warranty period, they also demand owners bring the vehicles in for constant service done by an authorized service center and potentially voiding warranties for vehicle that have been serviced by owners or other nonqualified personnel. Potentially weeding out thousands of vehicles while the warranty qualifications create demands that will disqualify many owners for warranty work. It's very disheartening that the government has no real protections in place protecting Americans from piss poor engineering and experimental designs. Hyundai went for quite a number of years continually producing engines with proposed metal dust left in the engine during production. The behavior and thinking a warranty is the cure all equal to changing or fixing the problem at the production line is Ludacris. Protecting Corporate America is the primary goal, not making Truck purchasers whole. My guess is, Toyota has no proof of any failure definitive in nature of a Metal dust being the cause of the issue. Sure, i believe metal dust exist in examining a failed engine but I'm not convinced it is the cause. I think Toyota is ripping pages out of the Hyundai play book and calculating their limited liability for the next 5 years. And that many owners are in for a hell of a loss in doing so.

2 or 3 years, by then your warranty will be up, and the vehicle will be a ticking time bomb. You gotta know when to fold, man

The recall remedy should be to pull that v6 out and put in a v8

This is why i laugh when i see people saying i don't care what it costs i have to buy one and look how cool i am. Then the newness wears off quick and they cry about their payments and trade in values. See and hear about it all the time.

What people need to keep in mind is that any amount of machining debris left in the engine will cause damage. The amount of damage depends on how much debris was left which can vary and/or how often the oil was changed early on. These engines might blow up in the first 50k me or at 150 k but would have went 300K had there not been any debris in the engine. The fact that 1% of them are actually blowing up doesn't tell the whole story.

I am certain Toyota is going to come up with a "solution", but I honestly fear it might be a solution that most owners will not be happy with. If they intend to just supply new short blocks, then have your new truck completely dismantled and rebuilt at the dealer level, I would not accept that and would pursue a lemon law solution.

None of the manufacturers have used the 3.5 v-6 twin turbo without heavy learning curves and big losses. This platform is problematic for all.

The truck is a tool. An expensive and a safety crucial one. I can't imagine asking buyers to wait until something may or not happen in a badly executed production car to happen, hopefully within the warranty period. God forbid it happens with your family in the car or far off wherever help isn't available. ... Lottery where there's no payoff except in lack of event is rather anxiety inducing

Got my 2015 Tundra last week. Awesome truck

I had a '93 V6 XCab 4x4, which had a head gasket recall. People were dropping off trucks which the motor in the bed, and getting new engines. There was also a recall on Dana frames that were sold to Toyota, for Tacomas, which were not coated properly, and had rust issues. Toyota recalled 168K trucks, and owners with rust through conditions were offered good condition blue book value for theirs trucks, regardless of condition. No business is ever mistake free. It's how the problems are addressed, that makes the difference. If you're going to have a issue, Toyota has a unbeatable record, when it comes to doing right by customers.

Your making me want to buy one, sounds like you could get a smoking deal on someone panic selling

Raise the price…lower the quality….sounds about right

There is a place for a V-6 twin-turbo, but it isn't in a towing, hauling, or off-roading situation. Maybe a BMW sedan that never leaves paved roads.

How do manufactures put products out without testing? For at least a year, or two.

Great appreciation for you trying to answer every comment...

If you’re a tundra owner you hope it blows over. I would NEVER trust it. My 17 year old Cummins Ram is super dependable, and still going strong! I’ll pass on the Toyota.

I learned my lesson in 1978 buying a first model year downsized Olds Cutlass. The first six months of ownership amounted to dealing with all of the stuff that was assembled incorrectly. Since that experience I now wait at least three years when a new model is introduced. If it appears to be reliable I try to get a clean pre owned one and avoid the big depreciation hit of buying a new vehicle.

My manufacture date is 6 months past the notice affected dates. So fingers crossed. During my oil change (don't listen to the 10k do the 5k) I asked for them to look for metal shavings or any signs that it would have issues. They said they didn't see anything. I really hope mine is not one of the ones that will have issues because I really do like it a lot.

I have a supercharged single cab 2013 trd tundra, it's only got 80something thousand miles on it and has only ever needed basic maint. I knew the new tundras would screw the pooch, and here we are.

Trying to say 1 mile a gallon Toyota made a big mistake

That's the reason 2024's don't have a recall YET... THAT would cause a 'stop sale' Seems Toyota Corporate has been in contact with this content creator 😢

Don't forget mechanics get hosed on warranty work. Good luck getting your truck back like new!

I would love to see the Chevy 2.7 compare against the new tundra on this channel. People are hating the tundra for going turbo, but chevy has been running a turbo 4 2.7 for a few years now, and there are people saying it's more reliable than chevys current v8. Obviously, turbos add more compilation, but i don't think the turbo is the problem for these new toyotas, either bad design or a quality control issue.

When the new 2022’s came out, dealers were calling me unsolicited trying to get me to trade in my 2018 tundra. I kept telling them to F off as I didn’t think the turbo was reliable. Plus the 2018 is paid off.

YES YES YES they do expect things to be perfect!! I would be pissed!!!

If only all tundra owner in the US watch videos like these, Toyota would’ve got the recall done quicker.

I have a 2022 tundra...do you recommend that I make the change for a 2024 tundra hybrid?

Im glad i found your channel. New sub. I was looking for a brand new 2024 Trunda. Now I'm lookong for a 2018-2020. I should be sitting good right?

It’s just another black eye on not offering the 5.7 v8 option losing turning radius and tow hooks - Lifetime Tundra owners are not pleased and most won’t upgrade out of their 07-21 they will wait until Toyota listens to us. #v8

Thank God I bought my Jeep Rubicon! 💪

It's like the stock exchange scene in trading places: "sell, sell, sell, Winthrop!"

Excellent Vid!

I got a 23 3 months after warranty. If it blows Toyota will make it right. Not worried. The truck isn’t my daily driver either. The truck does what I bought it for very well.

Who’s going to replace the engine? Factory or dealership? If dealership, it could take months even if parts available and then you’re trusting a technician to do it. Also, if engine is replaced, what about the transmission? I can’t imagine getting a new engine mated to a transmission that will have miles already on it. Just thoughts I’d be wondering about.

Does anyone know when the motors are typically having issues? I'm at 33,000 miles (2022 TRD-Pro) and it's running great so far. I like my truck but worrying about engine failure sucks.

Do you think any 24s will be added....heard some are having same issue. But haven't seen any facts

Hi. Do you know if this affects the 24 I force max TRD pro?

Why the heck would you pay $84k for any 1/2 ton from any brand? The more options and gadgets you have, the more potential failures you can incur.

Am I seeing correctly the shot of the fuel mileage on the 22 that has 120k miles as 15.5?? Didn't all this change come about for a little better fuel mileage? My 16 gets 16.6 to 17 a gallon (not great) with a decent, very strong engine. We really like our 2016.

Interesting on that shot of the Tundra with the mileage on it. he’s only getting 15.5 mpg. On my 2021 V8, I get 16.5 😂😂😂😂

Got a late 23’ limited that isn’t listed on the recall. Glad I got the platinum 125k warranty lol

THANK YOU WIFE FOR not letting me get ONE ....🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅

I think the estimated percentage with defect is purely based on the rate. The distribution indicating potentially involved is likely based on factors such as year, engine, or anything correlated with the defect (102,092). So it's not necessarily 1000 reports. It could be 100 findings (including reports) among 1000 analyzed. We don't know. We just know they have a sampling indicating 1%.

Bad design motor needs to be redesigned

V6? Turbo? I'm out.

I hold tight to my 2005 F150 v6. Vinyl seats, vinyl floor. Love it. Very simple truck

I have a 22 and just turned 13K miles. No engine issues so far although the average mileage for failure is 20K makes me worried. My dealer has had 5 so far. He said he had one fail at 1K and he's had others with no problems and have 100K miles. I really don't buy the 1% failure rate. With around 1500 Toyota dealerships in the US and if they average 5 per dealer then that would be 7,500 failures.

I got a 2024 4Runner, I hope to avoid the madness.

Can I tell you how much I love my 2021 Tundra!!!

I went from an 08 to a 24tundra double cab and wanted a specific truck a non hybrid limited blueprint double cab with 3rd off road with a sunroof and I finally found one and bought it anyways for 4k under msrp after having it shipped in cross country from another dealer. I plan to keep mine for many years like my last one so I bit the bullet and it's been trouble free for 2 months and 700 miles. honestly no regrets!

I assume that the Lexus GX and LX are made in Japan with the 3.4. So are they also having the issue with metal debris not getting cleaned out properly?! It makes you wonder if it is a fundamental design flaw, if that’s the case.

That discontinued Nissan Titan is looking pretty good right about now...

2023 Tundra TRD Sport. Manufactured in August of 2023 and so far not on the recall list. Patiently waiting to understand from Toyota what is going on. Panic no... concern yes. I tow travel trailer and haul equipment and dirt bikes. To this date not one single issue of any kind to report. Just got back from a road trip from California to Florida and was a joy to drive this truck. On one hand love this truck as it is hands down the best truck I have ever owned in so many ways. On the other hand this not to be taken lightly recall. Any guesses on why my truck would not be on the recall list? Preparing to go camping in Shasta - 5 hour drive. Just going to keep on keep'in on. Appreciate this video - was more factual than hype. Thank you!

I have a 2022 TRD Offroad, 39k and so far no issues. I too would prefer a V8 but those days are gone thanks to the EPA and there Emissions rules. All the manufacturers are going this direction whether we like it or not. Hopefully Toyota will get this all straightened out and make a reliable engine. I trust Toyota more than the big three.

Did my 2020 Titan Pro4X just go up in value? Great truck!

Real issue. My friend just traded in a blown up Chevy for a previous gen tundra for reliability.

Bought a 2024 1794 limited edition based on Toyota’s rep and having owned a 2014 1794 and a 2007 FJ and 2015 4runner. I had no idea these issues were happening. Very upset. At the EPA and “Others” pushing this based on ideology. Than you for your measured analysis. It’s refreshing compared to the fear porn and hate porn nonsense.
