My 2024 1794 Tundra just locked up over the weekend. Engine shot. 21k miles. Unreal. I want a full reimbursement so I can get into a dif truck. 77k for a lemon.
@@AviatorsGarage 21 double cab trd sport 4x4 17k miles listed at 42k when i tested it. They spiked it to 46k on the website when i drove it off the lot but i got it for the 42k. Traded in my 2012 4.6l tundra with 168k miles so price dropped 11k from that. It was a lease and i feel very fortunate
In reality its not debris at the factory is the desigh of the engine combine with to thin oil for usa climate. Rod bearing have to small surface area,not enought oil pressure for the power output. 0w8 oil is piss. Emission is important but not at this level.
I dont really understand why turbos are being pushed so hard now. That and the fact that the oil change intervals are 10k+ just seems to be making a real pain for the consumer. No shot Im waiting 10k+ to change oil on a turbo'd engine.
Totally agree, I think car manufacturers have pressure from consumers wanting power and the government wanting to “cut” emissions. I guess turbos are the only choice right now. Problem is greedy companies and poor quality control. I would have bought a new tundra but can’t now with all the issues.
This, and the grandhighlander recall.. whats going on with Toyotas reliability? Are they still selling the Tundra and the Ghighlander in dealerships, or are they only pulling back ones that are on the recall list and still selling some that are NOT on the recall list?
Yeah, it’s really too bad What’s going on with those trucks. Hopefully nothing similar happens to the grand Highlander after people start to accumulate some miles
Toyota is making some astounding bad decisions regarding their truck builds, and it's not just the Tundra. They will lose massive market share as a result of their decision to put turbocharged 4 cylinders as standard in all Tacomas (naturally aspirated V6 is no longer available) and we all know a turbo is forced induction, which means more heat and higher pressure...and all that places more strain on the engine. Good luck getting much past the warranty period with those.
I agree. The government is putting too much pressure on car manufacturers to produce vehicles with less emissions. This will cause more emissions due to the amounts of repairs needed in the long run.
Great info! Thanks for keeping us up to date!
Thank you for your support!

I’m so sorry! I hope you will get a full refund… tundra engines are failing left and right. Please keep me updated!

That is incredible. I would not have heard about it unless you brought it up. It's really a mess.
Ya I can’t imagine having to bring my truck in.
That is a video of a short block replacement. it will be much easier and faster to replace a full block vs short. 22 1794 blow at 18k
That’s great but it shouldn’t happen in the first place?!
