I have owned 9 Tundras since 2000….i will hang on to my current 2.5 generation “till the wheels fall off” At 78k it’s been completely reliable, just wear and tear items.

I am really sorry to hear about your experience. I have a 2023 Tundra Limited Crew Max non hybrid TRD Off Road. I got it a year ago in June and have 11K miles on it. My experience could not be better. Excellent performance and the quality you come to expect from Toyota. I really have has zero issues. I hope they can get your issues sorted out or buy your truck back. Good luck.

My 2018 Tundra runs so smoothly. No glitches, no delays, no weak points. It just starts and goes. I'm thankful to have it.

I went out and bought a 2023 Nissan TItan pro4x V8 instead... it has been great the last year with 15k miles.

6 times in the shop in less than 5k miles is a travesty

Wow! Thats crazy i have a 24 TRD off road almost 10k miles and i had zero issues. There is a bit of wind noise but i hardly even notice it. Good luck with your next truck

Damn. I’m sorry this is happening, brother. I’ve a 2019 Tundra TRD pro we just sold my wife’s 2019 Highlander for a 2024 Rav4 Limited Hybrid. The Tundra has been BULLETPROOF man. My wife’s old 2019 Highlander was good too except for the leather peeling on the seat but other than that, bulletproof too.

I was considering a new Tundra and the temptation was there but this video was the nail in the coffin for the new Tundra for me. I’m sticking with the 2019. Thank you again for sharing your experience!

Thanks for your honesty! Your opinion means a lot

The problems happening with Toyota are the same problems affecting the entire auto industry. Gas vehicles were refreshed to meet upcoming EPA standards but engineering teams didn't have enough money or time to do it right because funds and engineering resources were being allocated to EV programs. Also, the pandemic idled some factories in the USA, so supplier production and final assembly have been moved to areas of the world not known for quality workmanship. Finally, when ICE engineers have been moved to EV teams, engineers who have been hired to backfill those positions have been selected based on things other than their skills because of DEI programs.

I hear you bro

I've had a ton of issues myself.
My rear bearing locked up at 33k miles

I have been a toyota fan for over 40yrs and currently own 2. Fortunately for me they are both older. I agree with you 💯 percent that the junk they are producing now is not worth a quarter of what they're asking for. They should be ashamed of the vehicles they are making. I am so sorry for your misfortune. Thanks for sharing brother 👍

It’s crazy that I didn’t find your videos until literally the week after I bought my tundra.

[realmadrid]

Thank you for your honest opinion, because of listening to guys like you I went with the 2021 toyota tundra platinum with 19, 500 miles certified it was hard to find but I finally got one 3 weeks ago .
Thank you

I’m a retired Toyota technician I did it on and off for 30 years. I feel very bad for the people that paid so much money just to have all these problems that is not like Toyota at all . Once again I’m sorry for the b.s. that people are going through. They paid the price because they trusted Toyota

As a Toyota owner, I would only buy models that are made in Japan.

[israelsolomon]

Thank you for sharing your honest feed back. I will stick with my 2021 Tundra.

I was nervous with all talk about turbos and engine issues but I had to make new vehicle decision so I Purchased a 2024 tundra limited crew max TRD last week dec 2023. I use it for both construction and for tons of camping. As of today it has roughly 24, 000 miles on it and so far I love it. it probably has somewhere around 5k or more in off-road miles already and it is performed flawlessly. Did big road trip to Canada. Camping every night. Almost 2 months straight. Lots of off roading in Utah Colorado Wyoming Montana Canada. My two biggest complaints are one and the most obvious. How can you not put tow hooks on this vehicle and number two is the plastic crappy bumpers which will absolutely be replaced in the very near future. I drove my front end on top of a cut off stump that I did not see and when I backed off it pulled the plastic front bumper right off, fortunately I could snap it back on. I did my first oil change at 1000 then one at 5000 and I have been doing them every four or 5000 consistently. I truly hope you get your Toyota issue solved. I have heard of some people getting new ones so hopefully they will take care of you.

I own a 22’ SR5. Very well said, on point. Even if I bought the $3K extended warranty I already lost interest in dropping off the truck because of the many recall issues alone (the fire recall has no permanent fix yet). I ditto everything you spoke.😢

[ejshelby]

May I ask how did you know the air dam wasn’t working? Warning light?
