FINALLY a video where the person doesn’t drone on pointlessly for 10 minutes to describe something that could be described in 3 minutes. Good job.

Have a 2007 with 208, 000 miles. Never had any of these issues described in the video. Only issues were water pump went out at 80, 000 miles and starter went out at 193, 000 miles. These trucks are unreal how well they run. Do a lot of towing and hard work with truck.

Yep. I have an 08 tundra with 320, 000 miles. I’ve put in a bypass kit for the air induction pumps, replaced my front hubs 3 times and rear hubs once, and I’m currently dealing with a check engine like for catylatic efficiency that I’m pretty sure is an O2 sensor issue. So far no issues with the exhaust manifold. Ignition coils have obviously been replaced due to general wear and tear.

So far this has been an absolute tank of a truck. No major issues at all.

The main problem with the Tundras is that they don't die. So if your married like me and can only get a new truck once your old one breaks make sure you get the tundra you really love because once you commit your never gonna own another truck again.

Secondary air pump bypass kit, Hewett industries, works perfect. I’ve had mine for 4 years and never had an issue. I replaced the pumps once and they failed again so I installed the bypass.

Just got a 2008 Toyota Tundra 5.7 4x4 in really good condition with 145, 000 miles. For 9500 dollars!!!

Good video. No scare tactics, just the facts. I have an 06, bought new, 260, 000 no major issues. A 13, bought new, 113.000 no issues. A 10 Sequoia, bought used with 198, 000, has 220, 000 now, no issues. The 5.7's get better mileage than the 4.7.

I've had my tundra for 6 years. Got it off the lot at 64, xxx thousand miles..hasn't given me a problem.just have done regular maintenance on it and other than that no issues. Toyota is one of my top favorite brands and always will be.👌🏼💯

I got one for you.... This is for those of us who don't buy into the "lifetime" transmission fluid, and want to drop the pan to change the filter, then maybe flush the old fluid. Toyota decided to use relatively long, skinny bolts to hold the pan to the transmission case. On top of that, the pan bolts that run along the right and left sides of the trans go all the way through the trans case, and protrude out of the top. This allows gravity to pull water, and salt down into the threads. This, in conjunction with the aluminium case, and steel bolts results in severe corrosion. The heads snap off the bolts, and those suckers fight you to the death drilling them out. Do yourself a favor, and take a look at your pan bolts. If you replace them, throw some anti seize on them first.

Mine has 204, ### miles after 13 years. It’s only has needed the following repairs
1.water pump
2.alternator
3. Universal joint on drive shaft
4.Regular maintenance and wear n tear parts filters pads fluids.
I’ve only owned Toyota trucks but this model has been the best for cost of ownership

[impetiousdoom]

Thanks. Still driving a 2003 Tundra step side. Runs like a champ 👍🏼

Have a 08 tundra, 190, 000. Zero issues. Normal wear and tear.

I own a 2011 V-8 CrewMax 263K, I replaced the spiral cable twice, found out the entire truck is built around the starter, lol replaced that and besides tires, batteries etc. that’s all I’ve done up until this past weekend. I had the 4LO, traction control and Check engine light flashing but it would run fine. I cleaned the throttle body as a precaution, it was really dirty. The symptom lights cleared themselves before I cleaned it though but it’s still running fine. For the life of the vehicle I have made it a habit to add fuel injector cleaner about every third fill up. The key is I change brands each time. I’ll use B-12, Lucas, Seafoam, and several others because they generally have different cleaning agents. So that’s my story and as a guy that loves the GM platform and has lots of affection for the F-250 I can say I’ve never regretted a day owning the Tundra, it is the most reliable vehicle anyone could own.

Excellent video sir!
I have one with 240k miles on it, only replaced the timing belt and water pump 🤞, runs incredibly smooth. Very pleased with the Tundra.

[Trashencash]

125k on my 2012 5.7 my mom bought it new off the lot passed it down to me im the luckiest dude in the world

[MrJesiah]

08 Tundra with 122k miles. Only ever replaced the sparkplugs besides the regular maintenance. I'm the original owner and I drive it daily and hard since I live in Germany. Will probably start looking at replacing stuff soon just for precaution.

[watrdog]

Nice heads up. Toyota had a recall on those air pumps years ago so hopefully resolved on newer models and fixed on older ones.

[BigTony]

Accurate about the secondary air pump. Went bad on my truck twice. 1st was free for a recall and 2nd time I bought a kit off ebay to bypass them. You don't need them for emotions in most states.

[davejohnson]

I can appreciate that the tech used a model that is worn a bit!
