It is finally nice to see a prior domestic owner realize and acknowledge how good of a truck the Tundra is. This is something that us Tundra and Tacoma owners have known for decades. Progress is being made.
@@RealCptHammonds The 3.5L Twin Turbo and hybrid models have had some hiccups initially. Time will tell if the 3.5L will be as legendary as the 5.7L. As for me, if I ever need another truck, I will definitely choose Toyota and not any of the competitors.
60+% of US Made parts too it's all American in my books being southern raised 15 Fords and 5 Chevys if I could go back to 2 just the Crownvics we had went past 200k miles
The sad reality too is how Fords Customer service # is a D- at best everytime I bought their maintenance plans they never respected it always disappeared in their service desks and 5k $ later no results
@@firesupport162 I've owned a few vehicles over the years but not 20 like you. The way I see it is I can't build wealth if I have to constantly have a low quality vehicle in for repairs that cost me time and money. Everyone can buy anything they want, but for my money only the highest quality will do and that is Toyota/Lexus.
Canadian here, living in the snow belt north of Toronto. I have a 2015 Tundra 1794, with 250K km.(about 155K miles). First 4 years a daily driver at 50K km/year. Retired now, so drive 15K km/year. No problems, zero rust, never garaged (I wash it more in the winter than I do in the summer!) At 250K, I don't think she's even at half-life... I expect it will be running just fine, after I'm not. Gorgeous truck! At 250K, I don't
I don’t think they lost a “great opportunity “ by switching to an electric fan and changing the power steering. They left it that way because it’s extremely reliable. That’s WAS the great thing about the Toyota trucks, their simplicity which many users love. Simplicity = reliability
I agree with this, but I also dont think it was just for reliability. I think to its for superior cooling as well. Electric fans will never move air like an engine driven cooling fan.
@@Jay-me7gw Disagree. And yet some overland semi trucks use eletro mechanical fans. I have a 2000 Sierra that never came with e fans, but I bought Efans, harness got it tuned and it cools tremendously. I dont know where you live, I live in the desert of Imperial Valley, Ca. Summer temps up to 120, average 110. My 2000 Sierra the mech fan that came on it and my wifes 02 Tahoe NEVER pulled enough air at a stop sign/light with the A/C running to keep the air cold. always swampy humid filled air. I switched to efans both keep the vehicles cool engine temp wise, 210 range never over, and the A/C blows cold. Even towing water tanks out into the desert in 100 degree weather at 3 to 5 MPH over rocky dirt hilly roads my truck has NEVER overheated. I plan to buy a used Tundra, I will look into adapting the Seqouia helper e fan to it. I know some Tundras came with that option too. So no the mech fans DONT pull enough air, when you run A/C at least.
From my experience having electric power steering and electric cooling fans doesnt make any noticeable difference in fuel economy and power on a v-8 engine. Reason manufacturers went to it was to keep up with the EPA’s CAFE ratings.
The 4.7 and 5.7 Tundras are bullet proof. Most reliable trucks out there. Several million mile Tundras on record. There are no 5.3 Chevys, 5.7 Rams or Ford ecoboost with a million miles.
@@banjobones8075 those are the good 5.3 iron block without the AFM/dod crap. I had a 2013 5.3 crew cab 4x4 Silverado at 180k it had a lifter failure. Upgraded lifter and put on a used LS6 cam. And it was much more powerful. Sold it at 250k miles no issue besides the frame having lots of surface rust. Truck felt like it would go another 100k without major issue.
I have a 2020 tundra sr5 doublecab and once it’s paid off I will never get rid of it and maintain the crap out of it and I know it will keep me happy forever
I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra Crew Max with the 5.7 V8. This is the best truck I’ve ever owned. This 5.7 V8 with the 6 speed transmission is bulletproof. I don’t want to own anything else but a Toyota truck. Keep driving your and you will get a million miles on yours too. 😁👍
Lol comparing the 5.7 to the 4.7 is such a fking joke. The 5.7 will never be as good as the 4.7l v8 as far as long term reliability... why do you think the million mile 2nd gen tundra was a 4.7L ? Hahaha
Higher gas price is an issue for me too, but I still believe that I would rather spend a bit more for gas than much more for repairs or buying a new(er) vehicle every 5 or 7 years if I buy anything else but this truck. Have you guys seen how much the labor rates have gone up. One major issue with your domestic truck and all the savings for the gas would go down the drain very, very quickly.
@@javilink7 There are few trucks that are not as thirsty as my Tundra, and I am talking real MPG. The GM"s 3.0 diesel and Ford's 2.7 gas engine are very efficient. The rest are good on paper, but in the real world they are not as fuel efficient as they claim. At the end of the day, if you need a truck, you will pay a lot of money for it, gas/diesel it does not matter. If you have an American truck from the big 3, you will pay for repairs too. Whichever way you go, you will spend a lot of money. My truck payment is $890 per month. I bought it brand new for 56k OTD. I spent $550 for gas per month on average. We drive the truck about 18,000 miles per year. Gas is expensive in WA, $4.69 at Costco. It is not cheap, but repairs are not cheap either. I have not had a single issue yet. In addition, all new trucks cost at least 10k or more compared to my truck and the trim level. Considering the price premium and the higher interest rates, just the truck payments of the new 2023/2024 truck would be $400 to $600 more per month compared to my payments. So, at the end of the day, it is all about how much it will cost you, and although my truck's 14MPG is concerning, the savings I am getting from not having costly repairs and that my truck is 10k to 15k cheaper, it ends up that I am saving money rather than spending more when you compare oranges to oranges.
These 5.7 are absolute pigs on gas. Second worst MPG of all trucks. Worst MPG is Titan w the 5.6. They are good trucks but it cost too much to run and parts are expensive. Rather a domestic truck. Parts and service are much cheaper as is gas consumption. Engines w cylinder deactivation can be tuned off or deleted. Id rather get 17-18mpg than 10-12.
The fact that Toyota was buying back or doing full frame replacements on trucks due to rust is so impressive to me. Can you think of any other manufacturers that would even consider doing this. They obviously learned from this costly issue and have greatly improved metal quality and coating techniques to fix this issue. I have found over the years that it’s not that Toyota builds better than the others. It’s the fact they fix known issues better than everyone else. Each model has its growing pains the first couple years. So I would always suggest buying a Toyota that’s long in the tooth. I’d much rather pay a little more at the pump than be on a first name basis with the mechanics…
They were forced by a class action lawsuit which cost Toyota 3.4 billion dollars. Definitely a lapse in quality control, bad management. Nice to know not all of their trucks suffered a similar fate.
No other manufacturer HAD or needed to replace their truck frames. Toyota refused to help their customers until a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FORCED them to replace those frames. 😂
Unfortunately Toyota took a page out of the F-150's Playbook when they did that twin turbo V6 but yes I agree anything prior to this new model is definitely worth buying
I have a 2016 limited that was bought in 2015. I also have 100k and I live in Michigan and my truck is in the same condition as yours. My wife had a 2015 RAV4 with 160k miles and its in awesome condition as weel. The key to owning any vehicle from any brand is maintenance.
Tundras are good trucks. I just wish they updated them more and had better towing capacity. My last 6.7 powerstroke went 743,000 before I traded it in with minimal issues. If I didn’t have to haul cattle etc I would have a tundra
@@PersistentPatriot doesn’t even need to be a dually they should get something on the market. I mean look at the Toyota helux those things last forever.
@@josephcraig765 my buddy has to pull heavy equipment for his concrete finishing business and his only choices are to go for a dually which is either: Ram 3500, Ford F350, or Chevy Duramax full 1-ton trucks.
Trick to 5.7 is (from your local dealership) synthetic oil changes every 5K miles and (local Toyota dealership) trans fluid changes (do not flush them!) every 60k miles and they will run forever also make sure to change radiator fluid every once in awhile and the truck will run forever and if yours is 4 wheel drive with a transfer case then make sure to use it at least 2 times each month to maintain it and it will never mess up.
@@carlosheras8075 flushing can mess your transmission up cause you are taking debris out when you flush it. A simple fluid change is all it needs every 65K miles.
I just bought my 1st Toyota Tundra to replace my rusted out 2003 F-150. I live in Michigan, where there is more salt on the road than concrete. I bought a 2020 SR5 TRD Sport because I wanted a V8 insteadof the turbo V6, same color as yours. I am planning to undercoat this truck. I'll probably do it myself with either Fluid film or Woolwax. There are a lot of RU-vid videos on these products. So far, I love my Tundra but I've only had it for a couple months. Thanks for sharing your experience.
My 07 Tundra SR5 5.7 4x4 has 283k, runs great. I live way up north near the Canadian border, road salt heaven. The nearest car wash is 30 miles away, so I connected the hot water heater to the outside hose, works great. Rinse, drive, repeat.......yes there is rust, surface rust.
At 20 degrees by the time the water gets to the truck it's lukewarm. Or, I could drive 30 miles on salt covered roads wash the truck, than drive the just washed truck on more salt covered roads to get home. Common sense, come on man.!?!?
I live in Kentucky too and I wouldn’t call it the salt belt, yea we get some salt but people in Minnesota and Michigan northern Ohio northern Indiana etc all laugh at our winters 😂 my Tacoma is 5 years old tho now and it looks just as clean as yours, it’s holding up great
‘13 Tundra TRD Crew Max owner here. 5.7 flex fuel engine with 209,000 miles. Regular oil changes, changed the suspension out last Spring, replaced idler pulley, tensioner pulley and serpentine belt last year. Replaced plugs at 120,000. Other than that it’s been issue free. I bought second hand with 48,000 miles at that time. It’s been a great truck. Now for some not so liked things: Last year I purchased a travel trailer, and that’s the only weakness I’ve found in the truck. It will tow it, but I definitely can tell I’ve got it back there. RV weighs 5,900 and I tow it dry. Also the cargo weight is very limited on the truck. Only 1,375 lbs.
I have a 2014 Tundra with 170k miles. Bought it new in 2014. It looks new underneath and would look new inside with a good cleaning. It drives like new, tows like a dream, no strange noises, no lights on, no having to explain how something doesn't work. I've put a battery in it, on my 4th set of tires, 3rd set of brakes, I've changed the oil, trans fluid and gear fluids, along with flush the brake fluid, power steering fluid and change the air filters and coolant. It's almost due for another set of spark plugs. Notice I've never mentioned a water pump, alternator, ABS module, headliner, blinker adaption device module, left brake shoe adaptive counter rotate console device module, rear window blind spot mirror module or HVAC wind speed detection module..... like you'd hear from the Big 3.... Heck, most people who are Big 3 people are scared to death of a vehicle with 100k miles on it.
I still have my 2015 5.7 with 87,000. I love my Tundra. It's really been a reliable truck. Besides oil changes, I bought a new battery, 3rd set of tires, serpentine belt, and antifreeze. Runs like new money.
It's odd owning a tundra. Mine has been paid off for 15 years with half a million miles on it. I wonder if I will ever have to replace it. Why would I even buy another brand?
I have a 2008 ford f150 with only 70,000 miles and already giving me transmission problems. No to mention all the crap that the f150 has and ford knows all about them and they never change the crap. Honda and Toyota aren't perfect, but they fix all the big and small problems every new model ,till they are perfect. That's how your truck became what it is. The best truck I'll ever buy is going to be this tundra. Thank you for this video. All of this I already new but I hope ford, chevy China, and the rest learn something buy watching it.
Had a 2014 2500hd chevy and by 120k miles I had completely rebuilt the front end, done exhaust manifolds, water pump, hoses and radiator. shocks, plugs, wires, interior plastic rattling from everywhere, radio replaced, window switches replaced, center console latch, TRANSMISSION went out(5500.00 out of warranty), Theres more I cant think of right now but to the tune of about 14k in repairs before 120k miles. Before that i owned an 07 gmc half ton and the motor blew at around 130k and also had the front end rebuilt in it shortly before. I had many 90s chevys with high miles that were so dependable. GM just went to crap after 06. They are still having the lifter issue 15 years later and have yet to come up with a fix except hope its out of warranty so you have to pay for it. Thats criminal IMO and why i wont support them unless theres a change that restores my faith. Until then its Toyota all the way.
I know this may be late, just found your video, you need to strongly consider Nissan Titan. I have a new one 21 highway, 16 city. Most reliable V8 half-ton truck as of 2023. no start/stop feature. no e-torque. no turbos. no cylinder de-activation. traditional parking break. simple 4WD system. and the list goes on. Very happy with my purchase.
I don't know how the 20-23 Titans will hold up, but I can tell you a few years precedent to that, they had differential, rear end, and electrical problems. Also the 5.6's during those years had an issue with cylinder #7, owners complaining of loud ticking noise. They got put on a list for engine swaps. Nissan dealers swapped lots of 5.6's and were encouraged to not report it, so it doesn’t hurt Nissan Titan sales. So a perspective buyer of a used Titan will not see it on a Car Fax report. Also there’s a class action lawsuit pending regarding 20-23 Titan transmission problems.
Something that always gets lost in the gas conversation is that the 5.7 runs great on regular gas. Todays turbos take premium. At the end of the day, total gas cost is a wash.
I have a 2016 sequoia platinum with 100k and the frame looks new. Prio to purchase 6 months ago I brought it to a mechanic to put it in a lift and they thought the frame had been replaced-- that's how clean it was. Expecting a long life from this one.
I have a 4Runner in Wisconsin.. i got a lanoline spray on the underside. Yiu can spray lanoline on those welds and it will stop the progression of the rust. I lived in Louisville for 12 years. Blizzard in 1994 was epic.
If that truck has seen 6 winters with salt/chemical road treatment in every winter and looks like what you show then you got a very good one. I would say that is not the norm.
Sadly in my lifetime (65 years 6 mo.) I will not see a truck like my 2018 Tundra 5.7, gas, made as well. 45000 worry free miles just changing syn oil, 3 recalls fixed perfect and I drive like the old man I am. But I know there is a lot of muscle and reliability if called upon. It is a fine vid OFFRD so thank you.
Keep the maintenance up on yours and you will not need to worry about another truck. That 2018 will run 30 years with very little issue as long as you maintain it.
2019 limited here. also 41000 miles. have a tensioner and belt squeak sometimes but cheap fix when winters over. love my tundra. coming from 15 years of GM trucks. After 06 GM went right to shit and has stayed there.
I think you’re totally wrong on a ton of recalls with Toyota tundra? I went through consumer reports and so forth there are very very few recalls on the tundras especially the last few years. Suck it up don’t put a big lift kit on your tundra don’t put big tires on it. Drive it. It’s the best truck out there and that’s coming from a Chevrolet guy. I am now a firm believer in Toyotas I just picked up a 19 Toyota tundra Limited
Thanks for the info! Exactly what I've been looking for. Tundras are a little pricey, been looking into the "other 3" but like you said non of them hold up well. Toyotas just are built/designed to last!!!
I had an 07 for 9 years and I put over 100k on it with very few issues. My 17 did have a lifter failure that barely squeezed into the warranty period. Other than that, they are very solid trucks. The interiors hold up extremely well and at 150k on my 07, it was still as tight as the day it rolled off the line. I replaced all the shocks around 100k. Of course, I live in the desert which is a huge advantage. Compared to the domestics, they are a notch above IMO. The brand new Tundra? It has way too many bells and whistles. The reliability will decline.
Had a 21 tundra. Good truck but I wouldn’t say bulletproof just imo. I hated the 4 wheel drive feature bc when you go to turn the vehicle while moving, it feels as if you’re going to snap the drive axles and all my other trucks never did this while in 4wd. Toyota then told me that’s normal as we also have a 21 1794 and that one does the exact same thing. Also, the wipers suck on both of the trucks. Toyota replaced the wipers and all they would do is squeal. Cleaned the windshields vigorously and they still are terrible. Had a rattle in the truck bed and Toyota couldn’t find it. They finally told me that the bed bolts were loose on my third time back to another dealer. Still like the trucks but like I say, there are some issues imo that need fixed… nice video sir as just fyi Toyota did keep the rear roll down window on the new 22 tundra crew max like yours. That is a great feature…wish it was offered as well on the double cab lol…👍👍👍
I’m keeping my 19’ Tundra 1794 till the wheels fall off!… proven reliable and cant buy them anymore. … i live in the rust belt of Pennsylvania but i fluid film every year. (No rust) And most importantly 3-5K oil changes.. DO NOT do 10K oil changes .. that will kill any engine. 🥰 ..subscribed 👍
I got a 2010 trd pro crew max 4x4 . Love that truck ,radiant red with tan cloth interior. The body and interior looks brand new. Dosen't use oil or leak oil . Im the second owner. It has 291000 miles on it right now. I was so impressed that i went out and bought a 2021 black with brown leather 1794 edition tundra with 23460 miles on it. The last of the full size 5.7 tundras . I really like the back window option where the whole window lets down like a station wagon and those massive back doors. The 2010 runs smoothly. I'm keeping both 😊
I had a 2009 Tundra that I bought in 2016. It had its frame replaced by Toyota in 2015. The paperwork for that job was still in the glovebox. $11,000+ total. I also owned a 2011 Rock Warrior that the first owner had Zeibart done every year. That’s not a great product being a rubberized product. I saw rust bubbling up under the rubber coating. My 2018 Tundra I just purchased came from Arizona and the frame looks showroom new. To keep it that way I am having WoolWax Black applied before this winter here in Ohio. Tundras are amazing trucks….overbuilt for sure.
I’m from Arizona. And no offense but we always joke around about you guys taking our rust free beauty’s and taking them back to hell with you guys to destroy em.😅
That rubber coating with destroy any metal it touches with turbo rust. I havent seen anything good come out of those coatings long term. glad ur not dumb and picked woolwax tho!
@@noobjitsu1743 …. My son’s 2008 4Runner has had WoolWax on it for 5 years and it looks amazing. We live in Ohio (salt brine on the roads in winter) and he drives 15-20,000 miles a year. After 5 years it needs some touch up but it has held up very well, no rust anywhere. GREAT PRODUCT, as is Fluid Film. They are Lanolin based, not rubberized like Zeibart and some others. SMART people use WoolWax and FF!
I love my 2017 SR5 with the 4.6 liter engine. It just turned 100,000 miles. It tows my 4500lbs RV with no problem. Averaging 9.5 mpg when towing. Unfortunately I will be selling them both soon. I have a 12,000lbs fifth wheel RV in mind to purchase and the Tundra can't pull it.
The way I look at it, to replace it for a truck that gets "better mileage" (not when towing though) and spending 50k on a new one, well, that 50k buys a lot of gas. Many of these new powerful trucks require premium fuel as well.
If this truck were paid off that would be a very valid argument. But if you go from a payment of X with terrible fuel economy to a payment of X with great fuel economy it's a big win in today's world.
About the gas mileage. I have a 2017 TSS Offroad for a year and I absolutely love it. To be 4WD...I'm getting 15.7 mpg in my day to day driving. I can't complain about that with a 6700 lb truck. Once, I filled it up and drove 65 mph for 120 miles on the 4 lane and got 18.1 mpg. For those that say they get 11-13 mpg, you can't complain about that if you're jacking it up and putting on gigantic tires, or you're constantly towing something.
Being considered the most reliable brand certainly doesn't mean they don't have issues of their own. It simply means overall they have fewer issues than other brands.
As a fellow Kentuckian, I absolutely hate the rust issues as well. I have found myself selling a truck when I see the signs of rust starting to break through. I swore I would never own an aluminum F150 but having bought myself a 2021 it is nice to know I can keep this one without having to worry about rust. Thanks for the review on the Toyota.
Had an 07 for 13 years. I did start experiencing rust around the wheel wells after around 10-11 years but live in the upper Midwest/rust belt. But overall it was a very impressive truck not only the powertrain and exterior but the interior really held up from looks to function. Compared to my friends domestics it just seems like they start falling apart both interior, exterior and powertrain about a 100k miles.
I have an 07 was doing great until some over-medicated Methadone moron went all the way down the side of my truck and hit it so hard he knocked the rear axil off. Im going back and forth with AAA insurance right now because they want to total a truck with 160k miles. You cant find that truck with that low of miles. It Texas you might see one for 12 thousand miles but it will have 285k miles. They need to fix my truck or Im taking them to court.
I saw a quick view of you cutting hoke in skid plate for oil filter. Did you make a video on how you did that process? If so, would you provide link. Thank you!
I have owned 8 Toyota trucks, my latest is a 21 double cab same color as your crew max, I really like your wheels! Could you please tell me what kind they are
My 2007 has almost 184k miles on mine. It still starts right up and sounds exactly like a new truck. I just took it on a long trip last weekend, and it runs fantastic. And, it's paid for. I'd kind of like a newer one, but only because I want a newer one and not because I need another truck or need to replace my truck. It drives like new, so I won't be buying another truck any time soon.
I’ve had more chevys than Toyota s tundra s , I’m on my 4 th and 3’rd new tunde . Overall I can tell you some have recalls and some are issues either way none of them rusted like Chevy & Toyota took care of everything in good will on my 18 . Chevy never did that at 5 years . Call goodwrech and see where Toyota takes care of you . But as you said the 22 needs a refresh. FYI Check tsb on fuel pump s . Fixed gas mileage. Took almost 2years to make it happen with the Toyota rep , but they took care of it in good faith and I appreciate it . I’m in rust belt in n Illinois and it’s 5 yrs old and clean . Great video !
I love my 2016 SR5 offroad crewmax, it's got 120,000 miles on it and I only had the front passenger side wheel bearings starting to make a little noise, took it in and had both front wheel wheel bearings replaced at same time, other than that , perfect .
Enjoying listening. I have owned 3 4-runners and 3 Tacomas. Haven’t owned a Tundra…yet. Best trucks in the world. Retired last 7 tears so the 2015 Tacoma I bought new with 96k miles currently is incredible. The 4.0 six pulls my boat and camper (5,000 and 6,800 lbs) with no issues. Have never found a truck I want more than the one I have. The first couple of years after I got it I would have been willing to trade for another Tacoma with a V8 like they had in the 4Runner in ‘03 to ‘08, and still would, but Toyota has made it known there not going in that direction. The politicians or at least the obey we have now, would have us in trucks with power plants we don’t need or want. Baby your current truck because you probably won’t like your next one. Good video.
Excellent information,,thankyou,,,be patient , gas prices will be coming back down in the not too distant future. just wait and see,have a great day sir
On my second tundra first a 2003 now a 2016 and never a problem or repair,used to love my 2001 Chevy until at 116k the fuel pump went stranding us in the middle of traffic, at 160k the intake gasket went bad on the inside instead of out dumping coolant into the piston which compressed and bent a push rod,the 4 wheel drive worked when it felt like it leaving us stuck in the desert! I will say i wish Toyota did a better job with comfort, I find fords and Chevys much more of a comfortable ride but ill stick with Toyota for the low cost of repairs.
Love to see people holding onto trucks. Had my ram for 11 years, just put a new suspension with a lift on it and planning to put a big block in when the oem gets clunky. Feels better every year.
Thanks for sharing. Interesting perspective. 6 years/100.000 miles is barely broken in for a Tundra. Good point on the mechanical fan and power steering costing a little bit of fuel economy and power, but I wonder if one repair of more modern parts will make up for that.
I have a Magnuson supercharger on my 2016 Tundra TRD Pro and adding the Magnuson didn't effect my MPG under any load with my enclosed toy hauler trailer behind it. These trucks are so expensive on the used market because they are the best truck ever made.
Cool video. Thanks for the info. Been looking for a truck but prices are Ridiculously high. Doesn't matter the year, if mileage is low, prices are same as newer trucks with same mileage. It's madness
Never understood folks that complained about fuel economy in a full size truck. It's a full size truck. I don't complain about my shoulder after an afternoon with my shotgun and rifle. I knew the cause and effect. Tundras seem like a perfect balance for a full size. Just woth they came with a 3/4 ton suspension.
2016 Tundra crewmax TRD off-road,110,500miles on it, no rust, runs as good as the day I bought it,perfect condition ( changed oil/filter every 5,000 miles only had to do a headlight polish and U.V. Protection spray once.
This truck held up better than my 2019 in Ohio with 65,000. Been busting rust and repainting the wheel wells and other places (which is normal for me). I have had worse but yours is really good for 100,000.
2013 Tundra SR5 bought NEW and over 186,000 miles later with ZERO issues. I don't understand why people go on about the cost of fuel. It's a truck that can tow 10,000 lbs. Can't do that with a Corolla. Just keep the truck after payoff and run it till the wheels fall off. Gas is cheaper than gas with a monthly note. Aside from running out of gas or a flat tire you never see a Toyota broke down on the side of the road, just everybody else.
I hear you on the fuel cost, I live an hour out of the city and was spending a lot on diesel for my 3500HD. I bought a small eco car for those trips where I don't need a truck, it more than pays for itself and it keeps miles off of the truck.
Hey Bullet Head, man you are right on the money, your presentation was almost perfect, you hit all the high marks, and what you said about all the other Trucks you have owned was 100% honest, I had a 2015 Sequoia Plat, I traded in on a 2019 1774, also I have a 2022 4 runner, so I am locked in on Toyota, listen if I were young again I would buy a Camry, with a little work under the hood, I would blow the door off the Chevys and Fords, I'm not too sure about the Dodges, I would leave them alone, you know for old time sake.........OK you be careful and good luck....BB
21 tundra owner here. I dont trust the domestic manufacturers anymore. Dont want to worry about my valves screwing up becuase of AFM,DFM. at any moment and they dont cover it under warranty. At 3 yr. 36,000 miles aint enough warranty for this new technology/over engineering! So ill buy a little extra gas And live with a little less features to have peace of mind.
Everything on my 07 Tundra still works............I do all the maint. Also, I installed a Stair Step on the inside of the tailgate, so it stays inside the bed. Just drop tailgate, swing step out and down, has a handle that stows for stability.
I have a 2008 5.7L Tundra. I hit 200k last month. I've had absolutely 0 issues. My driver's seat cushion is just now beginning to lose some of its sponginess, and I'm pushing 300 lbs. I will keep it until it won't go anymore.
