Companies striving for mileage is BS. THESE ARE TRUCKS, NO ONE is getting top mileage when toweing. They should go back to big iron and prices would drop and engines would last. I just bought a 2003 chevy pu with 100k and it will last forever

The V6 is underrated. It is only 20 ft lbs torque less of the 4.8. I tow a 14,000 5th wheel in Fla but dont go over 50mph and no hills. Dont drive more than 10 miles a day. Runs fine. If I go long distance I would upgrade to a 2500 truck. I saw a post from a highway inspector and he said ratings dont mean a thing. Its all about the tire ratings. IF you are within tire load ratings you are good. 15-- and 2500 are the same axle and truck. Just shocks and springs

Should of never had engines manufactured in Mexico!!

The major problems you’re referring to is because these new trucks are made in the USA. If they were made and went through JDM there wouldn’t be any issues.

Will be interesting to see how the new drivetrain in the 4Runners and Tacomas do…

That was informative and simple Tku

Thanks for the info and how you plan evolving your "new to me" Tundra. Since 2014 it's been an aspiration to get one of these trucks (was before $35K + new) but the $ priority did not justify it. Now retired and kids out, finally bought a 2020 SR5 premium + TRD OR package upgrades last week. Was gunning for 2018-2021 black, leather seats, and "Nanny" TRD Pro but these are very hard to find nationwide and if one comes out it gets sold fast. With your video, I realize I'm very luck with this 23k miles, first owner Black 2020 Tundra, though short of what I always wanted.

do you think the alpine would be able to read car info from a 2012 tundra? Or can it only read that info on newer models?

I just bought a 2018 1794 smoked mesquite with 21,000 miles one owner. I had a 2019 platinum black on black before and sold it, that was a dumb move. Glad to be back in a Tundra. I went 2018 because last year of cooler and I did not want a 2021 after covid. All are great trucks and a last of the best. Hopefully Toyota gets things figured out on the new V6. Love yours great call!

I think if you are over payload, then you are wrong. You are towing over the gross vehicle weight rating.

I came to see how to release the window controls, its the only part you skipped!

Tfl truck it was the 1500 RST CHEVY. 6.2 V8. They can’t tow at high elevation at the max tow rating. Less air means less power. More stress on engine and hot day.

I have a 2018 with 144337 love it. Put air bags on mine. I dont squatting. And the factory dual exhaust. Love the v8 sound

Where did you get that display unit?

This is insanely bad advice. Manufacturers test their tires for max speed and (what you didn't mention) heat. Think TPMS. Going faster pushes air under your rig like a race car, keeping in thought the height of your rig. Slowing down reduces the up force that traveling faster will induce. If you want to 'draft' a semi, that's ok, but in a crosswind situation can be deadly. Going faster in a windy environment is just reckless.

"What other mechanical things Toyota left out?" How about main bearings and rod bearings?

The best Half ton Truck is the one that has all the right numbers to fit your needs and that's different for everyone . 👍 for me it's Ram because I love Ram Truck's and I live full time in my Jayco sense cov hit and I gave my house to my youngest son . I got a new Ram 4x4 off road package and my Jayco 195 RB the same day and I hit the Road living 99% off grid tax free . 37 states later I'm still living full time RV life . I'm the happiness I've ever been debt free and tax free .I'm impressed with this Jayco its been great 👍 , easy to pull and it pulls good . The only problems I've had with it is simple trim fixes but heck I've pulled thousands of miles and some bumpy roads too . It's warm and easy to heat , a space heater or The Propane heater can run you out .lol

Brother, you don’t want any diesel by any manufacturer that’s under 5 liters.

Its not s design flaw, it's a manufacturing process flaw (robot program not achieving enough clean out), and not every vehicle with this engine will have a failure, but each one could potentially. Id like to know the actual #s of trucks that have had engine failure.

50 k on my 2022 and not one issue. May be you should go run the Toyota engineering department with your above average knowledge and you’re an oil expertise. Less than 1500 failures. The oil port in question is the single milled engine port that feeds that bearing the debris was in that milled port feeding that bearing from reports that most likely why there is one bearing failure . Toyota has made turbo engine for 20 to 30 years. Do you actually think that Toyota didn’t test the this engines for years before they went into production? So you like the last generation good for you they are nice truck. This one is better in many aspect. I just think you should give Toyota a little credit that they probably know how I make an engine and will get the problem solved.

Toyota needs help from China in its failed engineering! Fukushima fallout in their brains?This engine looks like is was designed by BMW! They will be forced to put a large extended warranty on the power train! I will never buy another Toyota!

Grab a low mileage 2021 before it’s too late.

Thanks for all these great owner review videos. Been picking up a lot from you sir! Just got my 19’ SR5 with 115K miles. Done a few mods but will def do some of the same functional mods you’ve done. Considering making the exhaust dual next.

my dad has 2022 tundra and that part on the seat at 9:28 has broken as well as the clip that holds it in place and that is the only issue we have had with it they have taken it on 2 long trips and a few short ones and it has performed very well love the truck.

I agree with the design flaw theory. Just a note, the manufacturing process between the facility in Japan and the one in the U.S. is probable identical including the chip washing steps doesn't explain away such debris as being the problem. Also, I'm not sure about the detonation theory. The rod bearings would be affected by that not necessarily the main bearing. I've watched dozens of videos and read a bit on this, and the more I learn the more I do think this is a main bearing design problem like you suggest. There is no real fix for this. The very best they can do is a bandaid. They can't revise the design overnight and have replacement short blocks let alone full crate motors to handle 100k vehicles. As you mentioned, they would have to inspect each customer's vehicle to determine its status. Those that are unharmed would be given a warranty for some period. Those that are compromised would have engines/short blocks replaced then given a (maybe shorter) warranty. Either way a mess for Toyota. Would heavier weight oil help? Maybe. But Toyota would have to recertify with the U.S. government on exhaust emissions I would think, and this would take time not to mention fuel economy would be affected. Toyota is not going to admit to a design flaw easily. Their culture and their sheer arrogance will drag this out. Calling the a "safety recall" is just an example of this attitude. Remember the sludge in the engines problem? They initially blamed that on customers. Yeah, right. As a side comment, I saw one video showing a 3.4L failed engine disassembled clearly showing a seriously discolored rod cap right adjacent to the main bearing cap. The main bearing had apparently gotten so utterly hot that the rod cap was toasted. I can't imagine. By the way, I'm a mechanical engineer who specialized in internal engines, tested engines on dynamometers for a few years before getting my MBA and went off the count beans. This whole Toyota episode has been fascinating for me.

If people just refrain from driving their Tundras, the failures will stop.😂

What year is this tundra?

You poor guy. All those buttons to push. Must be exhausting. Glad my 2008 has none of them. 😂

I just brought the exact truck.. but 2021. I don't do any towing, so the Trans cooler isn't a concern. Great review.. Love it so far.

My 2013 f150 says I can tow 14,000 lbs which would give me a minimum tongue weight of 1400 lbs with a max capacity of 1372LBS my dog would have to drive.

thank you! im learning and this video just made life easy lol

I have a 2016 Tundra i was to add a gooseneck horse trailer that weighs 5500 dry, loaded it should weigh in a around 7000lbs. Is that too heavy for my Tundra?

It is main bearing because they make that metal softer by design so it will fail first by design...

Nothing at all wrong with driving in the right lane at 60 miles per hour. That's why they make the left and the right lane someone's got to do the passing and someone has got to be the one that's getting passed

I am preparing to move 1200 miles. A friend offered to fly up and tow my trailer down, with my car, and my dog in the car. I would drive my shuttle bus. I said if the weather turns, we pull off (heading from Minnesota thru tornado alley). She actually ARGUED with me, disdainfully, that "its just rain - we keep going". And got mad at me when i refused her help. She's never been out of New England...

How do you do with mpg without towing

I have a 2012 Limited Tundra with the 5.7 V8. Great truck. Only have 72,000 miles on it. Have had zero problems with it. Get the oil changed every 6 months, as I don't seem to reach 5000 miles in 6 months. Truck is tight with no rattles, smooth engine and very smooth transmission. I do have the thigh support feature, so that may have been dropped on the Limited in newer years. I do haul a small trailer with my 4 Wheeler, and you hardly know anything is following you! When it comes time to trade I will look for another Tundra with the 5.7 engine, but that will probably be years down the road, as mine is just getting broken in! Great choice you made on your "new" 2020. Looks perfect.

Sounds like they didn’t clean the galleys. If it’s in the mains it’s in the rods

The parking assist knows you see the box 😂

Changed my oil 900 miles and again at 2600 hope i cleared it out

Toyota will not do the right thing in this instance. They have a severe design flaw. Instead of admitting that they come up with a lame Debris excuse. Which in itself makes them look shabby. Who leaves debris behind when they machine new engines? They will do nothing for the folks who haven’t had any issues. They will replace blown engines with the same garbage and when these trucks are out of warranty they will be regarded by most people as garbage. The fanboys will make excuses for Toyota but there’s no excuse for this.

You are absolutely right, the debris cause doesn't make sense. I think they have an idea what is causing the issue, but they're using this debris narrative to try to shield themselves from class action lawsuits. If they identify a design flaw with the engine, they're giving law firms what they need to put together a big lawsuit. Owners of these vehicles are looking at a major hit to their resale value. Toyota made record profits last year. They could absolutely pay to replace the engines. GM announced a while back that they were going to replace the diesel engine in all 2024 heavy duty trucks due to an issue with a valve that sprays oil on the back of the pistons. That's huge expense but GM is doing it.

I understand why a different weight oil could help, but if an owner uses it and Toyota discovered it, they may not cover the repair.

These tires don't do 65k I have them on my truck now but good tires

200k Bumper to Bumper warranty, and I'm good! Do it, Toyota!

That’s a beautiful ride my friend - well done!!I’m flying out tonight to p/u a ‘21 Pro.

The hybrid is blowing engines too

Toyo 💩💩💩 did it again

Could you provide the alpine headunit? That is amazing. I love how it has the anytime rear camera feature.
