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.
Congratulations that is wonderful to hear as a Toyota fan. I’ve always read for a Toyota. I have own Toyota for the majority of my life. All my calls except for two have been Toyotas.
2023 TRD Sport with 14k miles so far. I also have had zero issues but all these videos on youtube dont make me feel good. I think I would be no different than you if this happened to me. Hope in the end it all works out for you.
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.
Forced Induction = Contaminated oil. Change your oil every 3000 miles. Hell my Grandad taught me that 40 years ago and there was no such thing as forced induction. Oil is better now? Hoss Shite.
But if I’m not mistaken, Toyota doesn’t really believe in EV not like other manufacturers they feel that if I’m not mistaken Toyota believes hydrogen is the answer so I believe that’s why they really haven’t gone full EV like most manufacturers
Old tundra was made in America and was probably the best American made truck ever! I have both the old and the new one. New one is nowhere near the truck! Not even close!
I don't believe the same drivetrain as the Tundra, but rather the Tacoma. A single-turbo four-banger mated to an 8-speed. But yes, a very good thing those made in Japan, same as with the new Land Cruiser, of which I have one on order.
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!
Simple.... tech. I like good tech on my cars... some people say they don't need it.. I actually do "need it" I'm sure the previos generation will outlast the new gen. But if I can get 10 years 200k miles out of it. I'll be happy about it. The interior of the previous generation is boring AF. But I get it, we buy what we want we out hard earned money. I just want to enjoy the ride.. and truth to be told, since the comfort is not subject at all. I feel the new truck feels way more comfortable than the previos one. That's just my opinion. Whoever likes the old truck better than the new one... go ahead, if that makes you happy, be my guest. Some hate the looks of the new truck. I love my trd off road limited looks.
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
thanks for sharing. even more testimonies that continue to cause me to second guess my 24 tacoma search. until I hear and see different, i'm keeping my older trusted tacoma.
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 👍
You’re right there’s a reason the Tundras aren’t selling nearly as much… Just look at the statistics and then ask yourself how many do see on the roads? One of the most important things you said in this video is that “There’s no piece of mind” in the old world value and quality held hands… Grown man move showing your face on camera and owning your opinions see you in the next one!!!!
Statistics is the most common way in which we measures things you’re correct…. Visually is the most underrated way in which we can have clear understanding of what’s happening to us!!!! In the area in which I live the visual evidence isn’t clear enough to me to use any statistical data to back any claim….
Let us not forget that it's not just Toyota, it's all manufacturers. While the quality control issues belong to the manufacturers alone, the downsizing and overcomplicating engine designs are being forced on them by EPA emission regulations. The days of the V8 are gone and this is the future that we are stuck with because of government regulation into everything. Maybe it will get better, but for the moment, I am sticking with my older vehicles until the wheels fall off if I can.
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
I went from a 15 tundra almost getting a 2023 tundra at the last minute I went with the F150 hybrid lariat. The tundra didn’t feel solid kind of road like a boat in that ugly grill is some thing I didn’t think I could get past. my F150 is an awesome truck. Front tow hooks pro power on board probably one of the best trucks I’ve ever had. I did get it a bumper-to-bumper extended warranty till 2030 and I’ve had to.Replace belt driven generator at 19k but it was covered under warranty. Any new truck is going to have its issues I guess it’s what you can live with and what makes you happy. I highly recommend test driving a Ford if you have an already.
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.
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
Same here, hunting, camping on the beach, camping in the woods. No problems except back up radar. Stopped working somewhere around 75K. 139K miles so far.
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.😢
I'd like to like the new Tundra and I am currently truck shopping. The new Tundra is so cramped and complicated under the hood. Some will say well the average Joe can't work on them anyway and I will agree with that. But guess what? The technicians will have the same access problems and the time to do anything will be elevated in the service times listed.
They designed these engines to be complicated because once you're out of warranty, you will have to bring it to them for service $$$$. The average mechanic has minimum experience if any to tackle all the electronics etc on these engines. Toyota has changed and they think they can live off their past reliability and quality track record. Toyota appears to be totally about pushing quantity and not quality these days . I respect people like you who gives honest insight because there aren't many that do. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to hear this sir. We have a 2024 SR5 DC Offroad that has been problem free so far. But i totally get what you mean about the no peace of mind thing. Ever since hearing about the main bearing issue ive been somewhat worried driving this thing now. Compared to my 2019 Tacoma which has close to 80k miles problem free. The tundra is really nice and there is a lot to love about it. I do have faith toyota will get it right with this truck, but it just further re affirms to always wait a few years before buying a new gen of anything
I just bout a 2024 crew max tundra in the Limited TRD off road as of 8/8/24 that came with the 3inch lift straight from the factory , coming from a ford f-350 I’m pretty impressed with the tundra so far , if you look at the undercarriage and front suspension components it’s built like 3/4 Ton truck I’m not worried at all about breaking any hardware on this truck , the tie rods , upper lower ball joints , drive line , axles are MASSIVE . You also have to remember when the gen2 tundra with 5.7L v8 1st came out it had ALL kinds of motor issues for the first few years and they resolved those issues and same will happen with this Gen3 tundra they will iron out all the problems and once again everyone that buys one will be praising the new tundra . Having said this I don’t blame you for being disappointed or frustrated, I too would be . But so far I’m very impressed with mine it was built 6/24 , so maybe some of those issues have been addressed but time will tell ..not a fan boy if Toyota just my pure observation and long research. Hopefully they address all the issues with your truck and it’ll be good to go for many many years , Cheers 🍻
I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra SR5 and I remember being pretty disappointed with the interior quality. I had many rattles and noises, but I've been able to fix just about all of them. Upgraded the sound system and now I really enjoy the truck. It's got 158k miles now and the only thing I've done other than maintenance is the rear shocks and the blower motor. Seems like the interior fit and finish has been poor on Tundra's for awhile, but now you have a questionable powertrain to go with it.
I almost grabbed one last year but had to replace the minivan first so grabbed a 2023 Hybrid Highlander. Been trying to settle on a truck and have been thoroughly scared off of a Toyota. I own a 1999 Off Road Tacoma and I’ve started putting money into it to tide me over. Thank you for your videos.
I bought a 2024 SR Base 2WD model in Dec. Had to order it from the factory. I've always been a chevy guy. Never owned a Tundra, figured it would have less problems than GM and Fords that I keep hearing about. I've been using it as a work truck and pulling trailers, etc. It has about 14k miles now. It is an awesome pulling and driving truck and it has the detuned 348HP engine. No major problems yet, no wind noise or anything. Knock on wood. I bought the 80k warranty anyway. So far I've been happy. I guess time will tell.......
Appreciate the honest and non-biased review. I feel your pain on owning a vehicle that you’re making astronomical payments on and cannot trust or rely on it to get you from point A to B. Been there done that and I have personally been thru the Lemon Law Buy Back route myself 3 times. I don’t know what state you’re in but before you trade it and lose money, contact an attorney that specializes in LL.
I'm glad you're not defending toyota as others are, I believe people that go into a car lots, work hard to be able to obtain a dependable vehicle and it's not fair to pay a premium for cheap and unreliable cars/trucks/suvs
Thank you for sharing your experience and being honest. Toyota is no longer what they use to be and we all know it even the fan boys. But the Tundras and Tacomas are not selling I think that speaks volumes.
My only issues with the 5.7 and the 4.6 are the leaking cam towers and timing chain covers. I did a couple under warranty and it took me way too long to complete the task but it never leaked again
I recently bought a 2024 Tundra. The dealer explicitly stated to me that the crankshaft bearing problem was fixed for 2024. He was under informed or lying. The 2024s are blowing up, just like the 2023/2022s!! I suspect that Toyota isn't extending the 2022/2023 engine recall to the 2024s until they have sold the 2024s off their lots. I suspect that the bearing problem is not completely explained by debris left in during forging in Alabama and Japan. Concern: The new engines might disintegrate, too, if they were built before April 2024 when Toyota changed the front crankshaft bearing. I suspect that bearing change was "the fix." If so, there are lots of 2024 Tundras that will blow their engine. Instead of focusing on engineering, Toyota is focusing on complicated, expensive trim items. Remember "new Coke", which was supposed to be better than old Coke? Below, please find a great analysis of the bearing problem by the Car Care Nut! ua-cam.com/video/EyI4ujjxxuk/v-deo.htmlsi=kjGux5M
I bought a 2020 Platinum 4x4, with 20,813 miles, for 40k. This was February 16, 2023. I was at least 4 years away from purchasing a new truck, but no more 5.7 made this decision. My 2015 has 179k, no issues. I expect them to both to continue on with nothing but routine maintenance for decades.
@@NorthweSteelheadJunkies I have heard you say this before. Where are you getting this stat from, Toyota? I have a relative in a dealership, and not a salesperson, and he's telling me it's way more than that and the CEO's are very nervous about the number increasing; Especially with the same engine in the Lexus Models.
@alderringer8816 there's various sources online, reporting 3 LX600 and 76 bearing failures, heck even if this number triples it's not widespread. That brand said clearly something in the manufacturing process is failing side these oil ports are being clogged. There's another video explaining 3.4L got a diffent main bearing style then the 3UZ and that's part of the problem a new main bearing design.
@@NorthweSteelheadJunkies Do you still think it's not wide spread? This recall just cost Toyota Millions of dollars, as I predicted. They know they have a big problem, and some of the 24s are going to be recalled to. They wouldn't have done it if it was just 76 failures.
The resale value on these is tanking. Literally one of the only reasons we bought these. Tacomas are dead on the lot in most states other than California.
Thanks for your honesty I just surrender my 2005 4.7 Tundra for a new Nissan Titan Pro4x. The Titan is old school V8 5.6 L. I’m happy with my decision Not to go with the new Tundra .. it’s a complicated engine and the Toyota dealer will be your new Mechanic more often … after warranty Toyota will want you to trade it in for a new refresh Tundra …
A few months ago, I sold my '18 to my daughter and bought a '20 to replace it, I wondered if I would regret not getting something different/new. As it turns out, nope not a bit.
Thank you , for the honesty. I currently own a 2020 Tundra TRD PRO. 29k miles, paid off. Thought about a 2024 but, seems “cheap/plasticly”, then there’s the cost, way too expensive. My 2020 is a Beast, well built/solid, only cost 💲 53.4K when I ordered it new. Thanks again!
Appreciate your honesty man. Such a shame they are asking so dang much for these with lackluster QDR. Don't even want to go down the rabbit hole of the new Tacoma. I was considering getting one in the future but you totally pointed me to stick with 2nd gen Tundra.
This makes me sad. I'm a Toyota guy; I have three. However, they are older. My 80 series Land Cruisers are tanks, and my 2013 Tacoma has just been awesome. I'll keep them.
I think many don't realize the relationship between manufacturers and our EPA/gov't. Toyota has been. the hold out and although some may not want the tech, eventually the option will be embrace it or walk to work. They stop making parts for older vehicles after about 10-12 years other than Dorman. So once the salvage supply runs out and plastic deteriorates, then what? Of course I am old enough to remember when as a young mechanic older ones complained about PCV valves, HEI ignition and computers in cars and said they'd never last.
I'm so glad l kept my 02 Tundra with 225000 miles, it might be old but it just keeps going. It sucks that Toyota has allowed this to happen,l hope things get better for you with your truck.👍
Hmmm. I hate to hear this. I purchased a 24 Limited about 3 months ago and so far have had no problems with it. I also purchased the extended warranty for down the road problems. By what you are telling me , I am wondering if I made a big mistake and should get rid of it and get something else, but I hear lots of bad things about the Ford's and Chevy's too. So I am at I point , I really don't know what I should do. If I have to take a new vehicle into the shop as many times as you have, I know it's going to be traded for something else. I will be interested in seeing what you decide to do. I was thinking maybe I should get a 3/4 ton truck in a Ford or Chevy. I think they are made a lot better than the 1/2 tons trucks. I will be following your video's to see what happens. Keep us posted.
I think all manufacturers have their issues, I just wasn't expecting this with the Tundra and Toyota in general. If yours remains trouble free, then I'd say enjoy it and maybe trade it in before warranty is out if you start having issues. I'll definitely keep y'all posted, and thanks for watching!
I also bought a 2024 Limited Hybrid iForceMax two months ago and got a good deal at my local dealer. Almost 2k miles on it and so far no issues. I haul a 6x12 enclosed trailer and no problems. No need for you to feel too concern and just keep an eye on the issues. I also got the extended warranty on it that was transferred from the 2022 Tacoma SR5 RWD I traded for a discount. Remember to drive it like a full size truck and not a nascar or F1 sports vehicles. Use it for what it should be used for and get it serviced properly.
Thanks for your video. I’ve been thinking of getting a new pick up truck and I’ve seen many videos like yours and I’m not getting This generation tundra I’m getting the previous with the eight cylinder. I don’t like it as much but I can depend on and I’m sure thanks again.
Wish I’d have bought a Tundra in 2020 instead of the Nissan Murano, but SOOOO glad I didn’t wait and get trapped in a ‘22-‘23 Tundra! N I’ll w with the Titan going away guess I’ll never buy new again.
We discussed the vibration with my (our) trucks. I have had zero quality issues, no ratlles squeaks, everything workd fine. It drives so nice for sure. I think we will see a service bulletin soon on the vibration. I am placing money on torque converter issues as the vibration occurs at lock up. We will see.
@@ZetaDogProductions went to Toyota. New rear differential ordered. He said they had a rash of bad ones. Some missing parts. Good ole U.S. autoworkers. If yours is still doing it, might have to have another one.
I just traded my 2012 Tundra with 127K miles for a 2024 Tundra Duramax CrewCab Limited. It rides great, pulls great, etc. But the days of beating on a truck and repairing yourself, are over. Maybe you need to start watching your kids closer if they’re cycling around your truck. Everyone wants the higher end products and you have to pay for it. That’s pretty simple to understand. But if you had to replace a differential that’s different but should be covered by your warranty unless your driving skills caused the issue. As for me, I love my truck but realize it’s not my 2012 Tundra. I like the improved performance, features and power; but I’m also very cognizant that the days of crazy 4WD driving, as driven by the price tag, are over.
@@johndivito5746 It wasn't just the differential. The truck has a lot of design and build quality issues that do not have a remedy. No $60k vehicle, especially a truck, should be falling apart within 3 months. The problem is Toyota is charging a premium price for a not so premium product, and I'm not the only one with these issues. There's a reason why these trucks are so aggressively discounted right now and still not selling. Either way, good luck with yours, and I hope you get a lot of happy miles out of it.
3000 mile oil intervals my man. 22 Tundra 35,000 miles here and runs great. My dealer changes my oil for 96.00.. cheap insurance. Toyota will man up if you have a problem, wait and see.
I had a new 2002 Tundra then traded in for a new 2015 Tundra I can see hear & feel the difference in value engineering from the 1st gen to the 2nd gen.
I have a ‘19 Tundra. I don’t like the look of the gen3 at all. It’s hideous. My next vehicle will probably be a GMC. I’ve owned Fords and they’ve been ok but the basic look of the F150 hasn’t changed since 2004.
I bought a 2022 1794 2 years ago, just turned 12k miles. No issues other than recalls, I guess I’m just lucky?? I keep expecting something to go haywire 😢
Had to take my 23 Tundra 1794 to the Toyota Dealership several times for break squeal noise and other issues. 12:33 Still not fixed after a year of ownership….I just cut my losses and sold the vehicle
The bed's composite on the new Tundra, which is very cool actually. GMC introduced composite beds in 19 with their CarbonPro bed that can be had on upper trim level Sierra's.
Buy what you like. I’ve had fantastic luck with my Ford F series trucks and GMC/Chev trucks. I use a fleet of these trucks for our quarry and consulting firm and have my personal trucks. This past winter I cross shopped trucks to buy a new personal truck and 2 work trucks for the job site. I was not impressed with the Tundra; the truck is a hot mess of plastic poor fitting/poor design parts. That rear bumper would fall apart the first week of us using. For me, the new Tundra is a hard pass…. I went with another F150 Lariat Powerboost and 2 F150 XLs….. got great deals and the trucks are put together right.
I have a 2022 limited TRD off road truck. I hate seeing people going through this. I actually dont any issues with it. Y already have 40k miles on it. I do long haul towing "light weight" jetski and a 12x6 vnose trailer. Nj to GA. GA to tampa. Tampa to NJ. and still going strong. Yes Im in love with my truck and yes im a toyota Fanboy. Only thing I dislike about this truck is the plasticky feel in in the cabin. Thats about. No issues no problems. Hate to see people having issues when clearly toyota dropped the ball with it. Problem is, lots of people hated on this truck since day one for no apparent reason at all. And now, since theres obviously some quality control issues, since its a toyota, things are being blown out like its 1 in every 10 trucks out there having issues. People dont make videos about how cool and how perfectly fine this truck is. Im sure most people are happy with it, i did my research and it seems like its about less than 1% of trucks out there with "major issues". I really hope toyota comes forward and gets this mess fixed. Cauae when you expect the Toyota reliability on a toyota truck, obviously the sky is gonna fall and the big 3 fans out there are gonna be celebrating and saying "I told you so"
Great post, thanks for commenting! I suppose I've been unlucky, and when the truck is trouble free, I really do enjoy it. Unfortunately, with this many issues in such little time, I just don't have much peace of mind with the truck. I also hope Toyota cleans these issues up because it's hurting the brand.
Love Toyota, but sadly I believe they have definitely taken a step back in reliability. It's going to be interesting to see what they do to bounce back. Thanks for the honesty.
Well, everyone has the right to their opinion. 2023 Platinum 30 thousand kilometres. No issues and absolutely no regrets. Buy the new Ram, you’ll love it.
I was planning to trade my 2021 cement grey trd off road sr5 (work every day with this truck!) for a 2024 limited hybrid trd off road . After your video(and others!) i am gonna wait a few more years. Because also where i live (Belgium)the are very expensive also. Thanks for your advice Thierry from Belgium
@@stevensthierry4748 Keep that second gen for as long as you can, especially if it's your work truck! Belgium is a beautiful country. Cheers from Texas!
I own toyotas from lite ace, trucks and suv. No problem at all but now is different, I believe you, they make them complicated too meet EPA standards making them unreliable not only toyotas but others as well.
The platform isn't the problem, the design of the Tundra itself is just terrible. I poked around a new Tacoma and the quality difference is very different. People are crying about the Tacoma being made in Mexico will have a negative impact on quality butbI beg to differ. The third gen Tundra is just a shitty design. IMO sell it and people need to stop buying it so Toyota can go back tonthe drawing board with a heavy mid cycle refresh.
You're right that the "platform" in terms of the chassis/frame is not the issue. The problem, in my opinion, is that the TNGA platform, as an entire philosophy, is the issue. The driving ethos of this platform is cost savings, emissions reduction, and hybridization. But I agree, the Tacoma feels better built than the Tundra. Thanks for commenting and watching!
I believe your head was in the right place! You went with Toyota as they have been the reliable and durable manufacturers. What would you have gotten otherwise? A GM or ford product?? They have been notorious for having issues, both mechanical and interior. I took a gamble as well & bought a 24 Tacoma… really hope it turns out okay
I was a die-hard Toyota/Lexus guy for many years until a few years ago. Starting in the early 2000's, quality took a dive and I don't care what anyone says, they are not what they used to be. I have never owned a Tundra, but even the previous gen, which has a lot of fans, was horrible and cheap feeling to me. When this gen came out, I was very hopeful it would herald a return to greatness but then I saw and sat in one at the car show and was so let down. The seats didn't feel comfortable, the dash was far too plasticky, everything was flimsy and fragile feeling, and tbh our last 2 Toyota's were extremely disappointing so I bought a F150 Platinum 3.5EB instead, and it's been awesome. It's not perfect, but we love it and the Tundra doesn't have exceptional reliability anyway, so we figured if we were going to gamble, we'd do it on a truck that feels solid and honestly has a way nicer interior, is quiet and rattle free. I bought an extended warranty so if anything does go wrong it's covered. It's no wonder Toyota is doing a mid-cycle refresh on the Tundra but why didn't they just do it right the first time? A company with the resources Toyota has should be able to build the best trucks, period. Bummer about your poor experience, hope you can sell it and get what you need out of it.
The way I have always felt about Toyota. Would not use them for work, under powered and bad MPG. They are good for old people that dont need a work truck.
Honestly I think the difference between Toyota and other manufacturers is that all these little issues that pop up Toyota will take to heart and work to rectify and improve quickly. Unless the Japanese culture has significantly changed in the last decade or two they take pride in there products.
I think this is true for Japanese manufactured Toyota products. 3 years into production, and It doesn't seem like Toyota North America is working hard to remedy the QC issues on these Tundras. Having said that, Toyota's customer service is far superior than any other manufacturer's. Thanks for watching and posting!
15k miles so far, work wise seems good but then again its our first truck, no problems so far 🤞. I can press the roof liner up and it flexes upward and i dont like that, bluetooth disconnects sometimes nut rare, thats pretty much all that i dont like about it, love the truck so far, maybe we just got lucky.
This will be remembered as 2024 Toyota-gate. Sad but predictable outcome of corporate decisions moving with the "green" lies, in spite of common sense and 120 years of automotive research.
I feel you man! I was really impressed with the Tundra's reputation for quality, so I opted for a 2024 Limited over a GMC SLT. Unfortunately, I'm encountering some frustrating issues. There's a high-pitched whistling noise coming from the driver's side window at highway speeds, making every long drive annoying. On top of that, the smart key entry only works about half the time, which is a major inconvenience. Considering the high price tag of the Tundra, especially compared to the SLT, these problems are quite disappointing. I've already contacted the dealership to schedule a service appointment and hoping for a swift resolution. Otherwise, I might have to consider trading it in.
Unfortunately, there's no fix for the whistling noise unless you want to put tape all over your sideview mirror. Hopefully Toyota addresses these issues.
I’m at 9k miles and have zero issues? I agree it does not feel or ride like a truck and all the plastic is irritating but it does the job. Is it with retail? I don’t think so
I have followed your channel and made several comments. Yesterday, I watched a YT video about a guy who complained about the front door moldings and FINALLY Toyota (Corporate) rose to the occasion and replaced both front door interior moldings with a higher quality product than what was put on your truck and then replaced on your truck. I also sent you a name of a guy who has had engine trouble.
First off, thanks for following and watching! I'm glad Toyota corporate is listening to their customers. The more the consumer pushes back, the more change will happen. Keep spreading the word!
@@ZetaDogProductions I appreciate you sharing. I drive a Lexus, yet it is the same thing for Lexus. I had an oil change and Lexus gave me a loaner.....a newer version of my car. Long story short, I was glad to get my car back. There's been a change. It bothers me that you researched and made an educational decision to go Tundra, which I would've, if that was what I was looking for. I would go ape-sh#t if I was faced with the issues you were/are. You are the customer Toyota wants, yet they didn't fix that door problem, nor the vibrating electric window panel without your constant pushing. Thank you for all that you do for us people that thought Toyota/Lexus were perfect!
You can dent the body of the truck by just pushing with a finger. Everything is thin metal and plastic. Thats why i chose to get a 2021 tundra to drive for a long time.
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.
Same my 19 just hit 77k
6 times in the shop in less than 5k miles is a travesty
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.
I'm glad to hear yours has been problem free!
Congratulations that is wonderful to hear as a Toyota fan. I’ve always read for a Toyota. I have own Toyota for the majority of my life. All my calls except for two have been Toyotas.
2023 TRD Sport with 14k miles so far. I also have had zero issues but all these videos on youtube dont make me feel good.
I think I would be no different than you if this happened to me. Hope in the end it all works out for you.
Agreed! Mine has been great this far too
My 2018 Tundra runs so smoothly. No glitches, no delays, no weak points. It just starts and goes. I'm thankful to have it.
The 5.7 has plenty of weak points. Oil and coolant leaks, mostly but you can still drive on those, I guess.
@@shooter-vx7xyi guess i got lucky cause mine runs great, no leaks at all
I went out and bought a 2023 Nissan TItan pro4x V8 instead... it has been great the last year with 15k miles.
Nissan has always built a solid truck I owned a 2014 Nissan Xterra for 8 years with no issues.
Thats what I bought last year as well.
I own the original one 2004 Titan and it still runs great. I was gonna buy a New Tundra but now I'm very Leary, wtf!
@@alderringer8816 The new titan is really nice when you drive both back to back
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.
Forced Induction = Contaminated oil. Change your oil every 3000 miles. Hell my Grandad taught me that 40 years ago and there was no such thing as forced induction. Oil is better now? Hoss Shite.
But if I’m not mistaken, Toyota doesn’t really believe in EV not like other manufacturers they feel that if I’m not mistaken Toyota believes hydrogen is the answer so I believe that’s why they really haven’t gone full EV like most manufacturers
As a Toyota owner, I would only buy models that are made in Japan.
The new four runner will be made in Japan but has the same engine and trans!! Not sure if I trust it!
Old tundra was made in America and was probably the best American made truck ever! I have both the old and the new one. New one is nowhere near the truck! Not even close!
Nothing to do with it.
I've been saying that all along...
Toyota needs to put the Japan back in Toyota!
I'm afraid it's over for Toyota unfortunately.
I don't believe the same drivetrain as the Tundra, but rather the Tacoma. A single-turbo four-banger mated to an 8-speed. But yes, a very good thing those made in Japan, same as with the new Land Cruiser, of which I have one on order.
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!
Ill never understand choosing these trucks over a low mileage 5.7
Simple.... tech. I like good tech on my cars... some people say they don't need it.. I actually do "need it" I'm sure the previos generation will outlast the new gen. But if I can get 10 years 200k miles out of it. I'll be happy about it. The interior of the previous generation is boring AF. But I get it, we buy what we want we out hard earned money. I just want to enjoy the ride.. and truth to be told, since the comfort is not subject at all. I feel the new truck feels way more comfortable than the previos one. That's just my opinion. Whoever likes the old truck better than the new one... go ahead, if that makes you happy, be my guest. Some hate the looks of the new truck. I love my trd off road limited looks.
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
thanks for sharing. even more testimonies that continue to cause me to second guess my 24 tacoma search. until I hear and see different, i'm keeping my older trusted tacoma.
Thanks for your honesty! Your opinion means a lot
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 👍
Thanks for the honesty!
You’re right there’s a reason the Tundras aren’t selling nearly as much… Just look at the statistics and then ask yourself how many do see on the roads? One of the most important things you said in this video is that “There’s no piece of mind” in the old world value and quality held hands… Grown man move showing your face on camera and owning your opinions see you in the next one!!!!
As always, thank you!
Sales are up just shy of 20% through the first quarter of 2024.
Fair enough but where I live those stats don’t bare out… Simply don’t see them on the roads…
@thewatcher5726 the stats are facts, avalible to everyone bad on real sales not yourubers spreading mis-information for clicks.
Statistics is the most common way in which we measures things you’re correct…. Visually is the most underrated way in which we can have clear understanding of what’s happening to us!!!! In the area in which I live the visual evidence isn’t clear enough to me to use any statistical data to back any claim….
I hear you bro
I've had a ton of issues myself.
My rear bearing locked up at 33k miles
Ya i’d get rid of it and try to get a 21 tundra
Let us not forget that it's not just Toyota, it's all manufacturers. While the quality control issues belong to the manufacturers alone, the downsizing and overcomplicating engine designs are being forced on them by EPA emission regulations. The days of the V8 are gone and this is the future that we are stuck with because of government regulation into everything. Maybe it will get better, but for the moment, I am sticking with my older vehicles until the wheels fall off if I can.
The issue is that they bumped the price 15k and cut every corner possible.
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
It’s crazy that I didn’t find your videos until literally the week after I bought my tundra.
@@ChrisK86 I hope yours end up working out for you!
Thank you for your honesty
Thank you for sharing your honest feed back. I will stick with my 2021 Tundra.
I went from a 15 tundra almost getting a 2023 tundra at the last minute I went with the F150 hybrid lariat. The tundra didn’t feel solid kind of road like a boat in that ugly grill is some thing I didn’t think I could get past. my F150 is an awesome truck. Front tow hooks pro power on board probably one of the best trucks I’ve ever had. I did get it a bumper-to-bumper extended warranty till 2030 and I’ve had to.Replace belt driven generator at 19k but it was covered under warranty. Any new truck is going to have its issues I guess it’s what you can live with and what makes you happy. I highly recommend test driving a Ford if you have an already.
Lariat is a beast of a truck. Solid and beautiful, in my humble opinion.
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.
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
Nice, enjoy it!
2015 4x4 offroad going strong 105000 miles
Same here, hunting, camping on the beach, camping in the woods. No problems except back up radar. Stopped working somewhere around 75K. 139K miles so far.
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.😢
I'd like to like the new Tundra and I am currently truck shopping. The new Tundra is so cramped and complicated under the hood. Some will say well the average Joe can't work on them anyway and I will agree with that. But guess what? The technicians will have the same access problems and the time to do anything will be elevated in the service times listed.
They designed these engines to be complicated because once you're out of warranty, you will have to bring it to them for service $$$$. The average mechanic has minimum experience if any to tackle all the electronics etc on these engines. Toyota has changed and they think they can live off their past reliability and quality track record. Toyota appears to be totally about pushing quantity and not quality these days . I respect people like you who gives honest insight because there aren't many that do. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to hear this sir. We have a 2024 SR5 DC Offroad that has been problem free so far. But i totally get what you mean about the no peace of mind thing. Ever since hearing about the main bearing issue ive been somewhat worried driving this thing now. Compared to my 2019 Tacoma which has close to 80k miles problem free. The tundra is really nice and there is a lot to love about it. I do have faith toyota will get it right with this truck, but it just further re affirms to always wait a few years before buying a new gen of anything
I just bout a 2024 crew max tundra in the Limited TRD off road as of 8/8/24 that came with the 3inch lift straight from the factory , coming from a ford f-350 I’m pretty impressed with the tundra so far , if you look at the undercarriage and front suspension components it’s built like 3/4 Ton truck I’m not worried at all about breaking any hardware on this truck , the tie rods , upper lower ball joints , drive line , axles are MASSIVE . You also have to remember when the gen2 tundra with 5.7L v8 1st came out it had ALL kinds of motor issues for the first few years and they resolved those issues and same will happen with this Gen3 tundra they will iron out all the problems and once again everyone that buys one will be praising the new tundra . Having said this I don’t blame you for being disappointed or frustrated, I too would be . But so far I’m very impressed with mine it was built 6/24 , so maybe some of those issues have been addressed but time will tell ..not a fan boy if Toyota just my pure observation and long research.
Hopefully they address all the issues with your truck and it’ll be good to go for many many years ,
Cheers 🍻
I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra SR5 and I remember being pretty disappointed with the interior quality. I had many rattles and noises, but I've been able to fix just about all of them. Upgraded the sound system and now I really enjoy the truck. It's got 158k miles now and the only thing I've done other than maintenance is the rear shocks and the blower motor. Seems like the interior fit and finish has been poor on Tundra's for awhile, but now you have a questionable powertrain to go with it.
I have a 2019 Tundra which I purchased used. I've had it around a year or so. So far, I'm very happy with it.
Toyota is killing their reputation.
I almost grabbed one last year but had to replace the minivan first so grabbed a 2023 Hybrid Highlander. Been trying to settle on a truck and have been thoroughly scared off of a Toyota. I own a 1999 Off Road Tacoma and I’ve started putting money into it to tide me over. Thank you for your videos.
I bought a 2024 SR Base 2WD model in Dec. Had to order it from the factory. I've always been a chevy guy. Never owned a Tundra, figured it would have less problems than GM and Fords that I keep hearing about. I've been using it as a work truck and pulling trailers, etc. It has about 14k miles now. It is an awesome pulling and driving truck and it has the detuned 348HP engine. No major problems yet, no wind noise or anything. Knock on wood. I bought the 80k warranty anyway. So far I've been happy. I guess time will tell.......
That's awesome. I hope it continues to be trouble free and that you keep enjoying it!
Appreciate the honest and non-biased review. I feel your pain on owning a vehicle that you’re making astronomical payments on and cannot trust or rely on it to get you from point A to B. Been there done that and I have personally been thru the Lemon Law Buy Back route myself 3 times. I don’t know what state you’re in but before you trade it and lose money, contact an attorney that specializes in LL.
I'm glad you're not defending toyota as others are, I believe people that go into a car lots, work hard to be able to obtain a dependable vehicle and it's not fair to pay a premium for cheap and unreliable cars/trucks/suvs
Thank you for sharing your experience and being honest. Toyota is no longer what they use to be and we all know it even the fan boys. But the Tundras and Tacomas are not selling I think that speaks volumes.
My only issues with the 5.7 and the 4.6 are the leaking cam towers and timing chain covers. I did a couple under warranty and it took me way too long to complete the task but it never leaked again
2024 Limited non-hybrid 4x4, almost 6000 miles and no issues so far. Hope Toyota gets everything sorted out.
Trade it for a low mileage 2021 Tundra while you can.
I recently bought a 2024 Tundra. The dealer explicitly stated to me that the crankshaft bearing problem was fixed for 2024. He was under informed or lying. The 2024s are blowing up, just like the 2023/2022s!!
I suspect that Toyota isn't extending the 2022/2023 engine recall to the 2024s until they have sold the 2024s off their lots.
I suspect that the bearing problem is not completely explained by debris left in during forging in Alabama and Japan.
Concern: The new engines might disintegrate, too, if they were built before April 2024 when Toyota changed the front crankshaft bearing.
I suspect that bearing change was "the fix." If so, there are lots of 2024 Tundras that will blow their engine.
Instead of focusing on engineering, Toyota is focusing on complicated, expensive trim items. Remember "new Coke", which was supposed to be better than old Coke?
Below, please find a great analysis of the bearing problem by the Car Care Nut!
ua-cam.com/video/EyI4ujjxxuk/v-deo.htmlsi=kjGux5M
I bought a 2020 Platinum 4x4, with 20,813 miles, for 40k. This was February 16, 2023. I was at least 4 years away from purchasing a new truck, but no more 5.7 made this decision. My 2015 has 179k, no issues. I expect them to both to continue on with nothing but routine maintenance for decades.
The new Tundra V6 is the bomb! Ka-Boom!
Toyota "was" known for quality.
Are you worried about the engine? ie bearing failure?
Yep, I am. Especially because I've had so many issues in such a short amount of time. Feels like I'm driving a ticking time bomb.
@ZetaDogProductions 76 engines out of over 130,000 units very very unlikely you will have an issue.
@@NorthweSteelheadJunkies I have heard you say this before. Where are you getting this stat from, Toyota? I have a relative in a dealership, and not a salesperson, and he's telling me it's way more than that and the CEO's are very nervous about the number increasing; Especially with the same engine in the Lexus Models.
@alderringer8816 there's various sources online, reporting 3 LX600 and 76 bearing failures, heck even if this number triples it's not widespread. That brand said clearly something in the manufacturing process is failing side these oil ports are being clogged. There's another video explaining 3.4L got a diffent main bearing style then the 3UZ and that's part of the problem a new main bearing design.
@@NorthweSteelheadJunkies Do you still think it's not wide spread? This recall just cost Toyota Millions of dollars, as I predicted. They know they have a big problem, and some of the 24s are going to be recalled to. They wouldn't have done it if it was just 76 failures.
The resale value on these is tanking. Literally one of the only reasons we bought these. Tacomas are dead on the lot in most states other than California.
Thanks for your honesty I just surrender my 2005 4.7 Tundra for a new Nissan Titan Pro4x. The Titan is old school V8 5.6 L. I’m happy with my decision Not to go with the new Tundra .. it’s a complicated engine and the Toyota dealer will be your new Mechanic more often … after warranty Toyota will want you to trade it in for a new refresh Tundra …
You made the right choice!
A few months ago, I sold my '18 to my daughter and bought a '20 to replace it, I wondered if I would regret not getting something different/new. As it turns out, nope not a bit.
If you could do it over again, what would you buy instead?
No.
Thank you , for the honesty. I currently own a 2020 Tundra TRD PRO. 29k miles, paid off.
Thought about a 2024 but, seems “cheap/plasticly”, then there’s the cost, way too expensive. My 2020 is a Beast, well built/solid, only cost 💲 53.4K when I ordered it new.
Thanks again!
Same, army green pro tundra. Never letting it go. Paid off 13k miles
It’s gonna take years for Toyota to regain the trust they had for decades. What were they thinking?
Just bought an 05 with 195k on it. No regrets. New Toyota is not impressive
Appreciate your honesty man. Such a shame they are asking so dang much for these with lackluster QDR. Don't even want to go down the rabbit hole of the new Tacoma. I was considering getting one in the future but you totally pointed me to stick with 2nd gen Tundra.
Once a car lets you down, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth and makes you not want to drive it anymore. Hope things stabilize for you.
This makes me sad. I'm a Toyota guy; I have three. However, they are older. My 80 series Land Cruisers are tanks, and my 2013 Tacoma has just been awesome. I'll keep them.
I think many don't realize the relationship between manufacturers and our EPA/gov't. Toyota has been. the hold out and although some may not want the tech, eventually the option will be embrace it or walk to work. They stop making parts for older vehicles after about 10-12 years other than Dorman. So once the salvage supply runs out and plastic deteriorates, then what?
Of course I am old enough to remember when as a young mechanic older ones complained about PCV valves, HEI ignition and computers in cars and said they'd never last.
I'm so glad l kept my 02 Tundra with 225000 miles, it might be old but it just keeps going. It sucks that Toyota has allowed this to happen,l hope things get better for you with your truck.👍
What trim do you have? I have a platinum and no problems.
I had an SR5 TRD Off Road 4X4 with premium package. Your Platinum better be problem free for what they cost. Glad it's working out for you!
Hmmm. I hate to hear this. I purchased a 24 Limited about 3 months ago and so far have had no problems with it. I also purchased the extended warranty for down the road problems. By what you are telling me , I am wondering if I made a big mistake and should get rid of it and get something else, but I hear lots of bad things about the Ford's and Chevy's too. So I am at I point , I really don't know what I should do. If I have to take a new vehicle into the shop as many times as you have, I know it's going to be traded for something else. I will be interested in seeing what you decide to do. I was thinking maybe I should get a 3/4 ton truck in a Ford or Chevy. I think they are made a lot better than the 1/2 tons trucks. I will be following your video's to see what happens. Keep us posted.
I think all manufacturers have their issues, I just wasn't expecting this with the Tundra and Toyota in general. If yours remains trouble free, then I'd say enjoy it and maybe trade it in before warranty is out if you start having issues. I'll definitely keep y'all posted, and thanks for watching!
I also bought a 2024 Limited Hybrid iForceMax two months ago and got a good deal at my local dealer. Almost 2k miles on it and so far no issues. I haul a 6x12 enclosed trailer and no problems. No need for you to feel too concern and just keep an eye on the issues. I also got the extended warranty on it that was transferred from the 2022 Tacoma SR5 RWD I traded for a discount. Remember to drive it like a full size truck and not a nascar or F1 sports vehicles. Use it for what it should be used for and get it serviced properly.
@@williebonilla5989I just bought your same truck a week ago. Only 250 miles but I hope I have your luck.
@@davida7284 very nice man! You will love every moment you drive it on the highway. Such a smooth drive! Congrats!
Thanks for your video. I’ve been thinking of getting a new pick up truck and I’ve seen many videos like yours and I’m not getting This generation tundra I’m getting the previous with the eight cylinder. I don’t like it as much but I can depend on and I’m sure thanks again.
Wish I’d have bought a Tundra in 2020 instead of the Nissan Murano, but SOOOO glad I didn’t wait and get trapped in a ‘22-‘23 Tundra! N I’ll w with the Titan going away guess I’ll never buy new again.
I agree. Time, the one thing money can't buy.
So what would you buy instead? Mexican made Ram or Chevy? Old reliable Ford?
I'm in the process of figuring that out. I'll be posting an update soon!
We discussed the vibration with my (our) trucks. I have had zero quality issues, no ratlles squeaks, everything workd fine. It drives so nice for sure. I think we will see a service bulletin soon on the vibration. I am placing money on torque converter issues as the vibration occurs at lock up. We will see.
Good deal, keep us posted! I'll post another video once I get an update from Toyota. Good luck!
@@ZetaDogProductions went to Toyota. New rear differential ordered. He said they had a rash of bad ones. Some missing parts. Good ole U.S. autoworkers. If yours is still doing it, might have to have another one.
@@TheMILVET thanks for the update! I'll be taking the truck in soon, and I'll keep y'all posted.
I just traded my 2012 Tundra with 127K miles for a 2024 Tundra Duramax CrewCab Limited. It rides great, pulls great, etc. But the days of beating on a truck and repairing yourself, are over. Maybe you need to start watching your kids closer if they’re cycling around your truck. Everyone wants the higher end products and you have to pay for it. That’s pretty simple to understand. But if you had to replace a differential that’s different but should be covered by your warranty unless your driving skills caused the issue.
As for me, I love my truck but realize it’s not my 2012 Tundra. I like the improved performance, features and power; but I’m also very cognizant that the days of crazy 4WD driving, as driven by the price tag, are over.
@@johndivito5746 It wasn't just the differential. The truck has a lot of design and build quality issues that do not have a remedy. No $60k vehicle, especially a truck, should be falling apart within 3 months. The problem is Toyota is charging a premium price for a not so premium product, and I'm not the only one with these issues. There's a reason why these trucks are so aggressively discounted right now and still not selling. Either way, good luck with yours, and I hope you get a lot of happy miles out of it.
I have a 2024 5k miles on it with bigger tires etc. I have had 0 issues love it. It does worry me seeing so many owners having issues tho.
The issues are definitely a bummer, and perhaps I got a little unlucky with mine. I hope yours remains trouble free, amigo!
3000 mile oil intervals my man. 22 Tundra 35,000 miles here and runs great. My dealer changes my oil for 96.00.. cheap insurance. Toyota will man up if you have a problem, wait and see.
I had a new 2002 Tundra then traded in for a new 2015 Tundra
I can see hear & feel the difference in value engineering from the 1st gen to the 2nd gen.
I have a ‘19 Tundra. I don’t like the look of the gen3 at all. It’s hideous. My next vehicle will probably be a GMC. I’ve owned Fords and they’ve been ok but the basic look of the F150 hasn’t changed since 2004.
I bought a 2022 1794 2 years ago, just turned 12k miles. No issues other than recalls, I guess I’m just lucky?? I keep expecting something to go haywire 😢
Change the oil every 3,000 miles brother... best 100.00 insurance you can buy.
Any signs of your rear main seal starting to seep? Others are reporting it.
The whole differential has to be replaced.
May I ask how did you know the air dam wasn’t working? Warning light?
It was making a squealing noise while retracting. Almost like brakes squealing.
I just got the same truck you got wish me luck it’s a lease so hopefully if any issues happen I can return it
Leasing is probably a great idea… if you like the truck you can purchase it and know that you are the only owner
Leasing doesn’t include any special provision for returning the vehicle because of issues. Sorry.
@@kerplunk38880 false nice try tho
Had to take my 23 Tundra 1794 to the Toyota Dealership several times for break squeal noise and other issues. 12:33 Still not fixed after a year of ownership….I just cut my losses and sold the vehicle
Sorry for your aggravation. What will you replace it with?
Be curious to know if a magnet sticks to any of the panels, have they used aluminium?
I believe the hood and the rear panels are aluminum.
The bed's composite on the new Tundra, which is very cool actually. GMC introduced composite beds in 19 with their CarbonPro bed that can be had on upper trim level Sierra's.
@@ZetaDogProductions Hood and tailgate.
Buy what you like. I’ve had fantastic luck with my Ford F series trucks and GMC/Chev trucks. I use a fleet of these trucks for our quarry and consulting firm and have my personal trucks. This past winter I cross shopped trucks to buy a new personal truck and 2 work trucks for the job site. I was not impressed with the Tundra; the truck is a hot mess of plastic poor fitting/poor design parts. That rear bumper would fall apart the first week of us using. For me, the new Tundra is a hard pass…. I went with another F150 Lariat Powerboost and 2 F150 XLs….. got great deals and the trucks are put together right.
I have a 2022 limited TRD off road truck. I hate seeing people going through this. I actually dont any issues with it. Y already have 40k miles on it. I do long haul towing "light weight" jetski and a 12x6 vnose trailer. Nj to GA. GA to tampa. Tampa to NJ. and still going strong. Yes Im in love with my truck and yes im a toyota Fanboy. Only thing I dislike about this truck is the plasticky feel in in the cabin. Thats about. No issues no problems. Hate to see people having issues when clearly toyota dropped the ball with it. Problem is, lots of people hated on this truck since day one for no apparent reason at all. And now, since theres obviously some quality control issues, since its a toyota, things are being blown out like its 1 in every 10 trucks out there having issues. People dont make videos about how cool and how perfectly fine this truck is. Im sure most people are happy with it, i did my research and it seems like its about less than 1% of trucks out there with "major issues".
I really hope toyota comes forward and gets this mess fixed. Cauae when you expect the Toyota reliability on a toyota truck, obviously the sky is gonna fall and the big 3 fans out there are gonna be celebrating and saying "I told you so"
Great post, thanks for commenting! I suppose I've been unlucky, and when the truck is trouble free, I really do enjoy it. Unfortunately, with this many issues in such little time, I just don't have much peace of mind with the truck. I also hope Toyota cleans these issues up because it's hurting the brand.
@@ZetaDogProductions Hopefully sooner than later... cause this sucks man
Love Toyota, but sadly I believe they have definitely taken a step back in reliability. It's going to be interesting to see what they do to bounce back. Thanks for the honesty.
Well, everyone has the right to their opinion. 2023 Platinum 30 thousand kilometres. No issues and absolutely no regrets. Buy the new Ram, you’ll love it.
I was planning to trade my 2021 cement grey trd off road sr5 (work every day with this truck!) for a 2024 limited hybrid trd off road . After your video(and others!) i am gonna wait a few more years. Because also where i live (Belgium)the are very expensive also.

I own toyotas from lite ace, trucks and suv. No problem at all but now is different, I believe you, they make them complicated too meet EPA standards making them unreliable not only toyotas but others as well.
May I ask what your extended warranty cost if I may?
I don't remember, but I negotiated the price down significantly.
The platform isn't the problem, the design of the Tundra itself is just terrible. I poked around a new Tacoma and the quality difference is very different. People are crying about the Tacoma being made in Mexico will have a negative impact on quality butbI beg to differ. The third gen Tundra is just a shitty design. IMO sell it and people need to stop buying it so Toyota can go back tonthe drawing board with a heavy mid cycle refresh.
You're right that the "platform" in terms of the chassis/frame is not the issue. The problem, in my opinion, is that the TNGA platform, as an entire philosophy, is the issue. The driving ethos of this platform is cost savings, emissions reduction, and hybridization. But I agree, the Tacoma feels better built than the Tundra. Thanks for commenting and watching!
I believe your head was in the right place! You went with Toyota as they have been the reliable and durable manufacturers. What would you have gotten otherwise? A GM or ford product?? They have been notorious for having issues, both mechanical and interior.
I took a gamble as well & bought a 24 Tacoma… really hope it turns out okay
maybe they saw him coming and decided to give him 'THAT ONE.' I have a 2016 Tundra 1794. It's great!!!!!!!!!!
I was a die-hard Toyota/Lexus guy for many years until a few years ago. Starting in the early 2000's, quality took a dive and I don't care what anyone says, they are not what they used to be. I have never owned a Tundra, but even the previous gen, which has a lot of fans, was horrible and cheap feeling to me. When this gen came out, I was very hopeful it would herald a return to greatness but then I saw and sat in one at the car show and was so let down. The seats didn't feel comfortable, the dash was far too plasticky, everything was flimsy and fragile feeling, and tbh our last 2 Toyota's were extremely disappointing so I bought a F150 Platinum 3.5EB instead, and it's been awesome. It's not perfect, but we love it and the Tundra doesn't have exceptional reliability anyway, so we figured if we were going to gamble, we'd do it on a truck that feels solid and honestly has a way nicer interior, is quiet and rattle free. I bought an extended warranty so if anything does go wrong it's covered. It's no wonder Toyota is doing a mid-cycle refresh on the Tundra but why didn't they just do it right the first time? A company with the resources Toyota has should be able to build the best trucks, period. Bummer about your poor experience, hope you can sell it and get what you need out of it.
The original LS400 may be the best car ever made.
@@billshepard6664 Possibly! It was an engineering and NVH marvel when it came out and there are still many examples being daily driven.
@@mholmes9262 Incredible Automobile!
The way I have always felt about Toyota. Would not use them for work, under powered and bad MPG. They are good for old people that dont need a work truck.
Honestly I think the difference between Toyota and other manufacturers is that all these little issues that pop up Toyota will take to heart and work to rectify and improve quickly. Unless the Japanese culture has significantly changed in the last decade or two they take pride in there products.
I think this is true for Japanese manufactured Toyota products. 3 years into production, and It doesn't seem like Toyota North America is working hard to remedy the QC issues on these Tundras. Having said that, Toyota's customer service is far superior than any other manufacturer's. Thanks for watching and posting!
@@ZetaDogProductions Thanks for posting your thoughts! I'll be interested in how all these changes play out in the long run.
15k miles so far, work wise seems good but then again its our first truck, no problems so far 🤞. I can press the roof liner up and it flexes upward and i dont like that, bluetooth disconnects sometimes nut rare, thats pretty much all that i dont like about it, love the truck so far, maybe we just got lucky.
Ford still makes the 5.0 V8 non turbo. Chevy as well.
I know there may not be a lot of Titan fans but I'm on my third and I love them. I hate they are dropping it. The 5.6 is a great engine.
@@kc-6837 Yes it’s too bad Nissan is dropping the Titan. Maybe with the drop in the Tundra sales they could change their minds. Wishful thinking.
This will be remembered as 2024 Toyota-gate. Sad but predictable outcome of corporate decisions moving with the "green" lies, in spite of common sense and 120 years of automotive research.
What model do you have
2024 SR5 TRD Off Road 4x4
V6 Tundra? Are you stranded? Need a tow? Let me know, I got a V8 SR5 TSS Offroad.
I feel you man! I was really impressed with the Tundra's reputation for quality, so I opted for a 2024 Limited over a GMC SLT. Unfortunately, I'm encountering some frustrating issues. There's a high-pitched whistling noise coming from the driver's side window at highway speeds, making every long drive annoying. On top of that, the smart key entry only works about half the time, which is a major inconvenience. Considering the high price tag of the Tundra, especially compared to the SLT, these problems are quite disappointing. I've already contacted the dealership to schedule a service appointment and hoping for a swift resolution. Otherwise, I might have to consider trading it in.
Unfortunately, there's no fix for the whistling noise unless you want to put tape all over your sideview mirror. Hopefully Toyota addresses these issues.
I’m at 9k miles and have zero issues? I agree it does not feel or ride like a truck and all the plastic is irritating but it does the job. Is it with retail? I don’t think so
Hope yours remains trouble free, friend!
I have followed your channel and made several comments. Yesterday, I watched a YT video about a guy who complained about the front door moldings and FINALLY Toyota (Corporate) rose to the occasion and replaced both front door interior moldings with a higher quality product than what was put on your truck and then replaced on your truck. I also sent you a name of a guy who has had engine trouble.
First off, thanks for following and watching! I'm glad Toyota corporate is listening to their customers. The more the consumer pushes back, the more change will happen. Keep spreading the word!
@@ZetaDogProductions I appreciate you sharing. I drive a Lexus, yet it is the same thing for Lexus. I had an oil change and Lexus gave me a loaner.....a newer version of my car. Long story short, I was glad to get my car back. There's been a change. It bothers me that you researched and made an educational decision to go Tundra, which I would've, if that was what I was looking for. I would go ape-sh#t if I was faced with the issues you were/are. You are the customer Toyota wants, yet they didn't fix that door problem, nor the vibrating electric window panel without your constant pushing. Thank you for all that you do for us people that thought Toyota/Lexus were perfect!
You can dent the body of the truck by just pushing with a finger. Everything is thin metal and plastic. Thats why i chose to get a 2021 tundra to drive for a long time.
