I'm sold on Toyota quality having owned many of them, and dont doubt that the replacement engine will be solid. What I would have a problem with is having any dealership mechanic do the work. This is a major dismantling of the truck that necessitates taking the cab off of the truck. If you think that a flat rate shop mechanic is going to remove and replace all of those components like the factory did, you have another thing coming. I see other issues surfacing from broken connectors, wiring not returned to the proper points, and other issues that will come about by having an uncontrolled method to do this service. All those dealer mechanics are being cheated by lowballing the hours to do this job, so how a mechanic compensates is by cutting corners.
Look up how that works, Toyota dealers can only have specific levels of certifications do an engine. Some dealers may not have those levels and wont be allowed to install the engine. Some dealers have multiple folks with those levels, there are some videos about this on UA-cam. Friend of mine is a GM of Toyota dealer and he validated this with me, and if they screw around and dont follow it they can end up in deep trouble with Toyota. I asked about the taking the cab off and was told that is not true, not sure however.
@@obgod3 I hope that your buddy is right, and they don't have to remove the cab. That will be a lot less items that have to be disturbed and put back together.
I had a 22 Capstone with 114,560 in 20 months but a drunk driver crossed over and hit me head on. Yes, it’s totaled. I now have a 23 1794. Both are hybrid and Toyota still will not include it on the recall. I know they claim “because it can get off the road safely”, but it’s still the exact same engine.
well first off I hope you are ok, that is terrible, obviously mine is not a hybrid and at some point ILl get a new engine but I crossed 61K the other day so by the time I get a new engine ILl have 70K+ and I am ok with that :)
@@obgod3 we are fine thank you. I don’t blame you. I would definitely get a new engine as well. I’m still upset that the 1794 I have is a hybrid and they are not giving a warranty on hybrids.
Yeh at the end of the day they have less than 1k failures, that is a very small percentage about the same as the gmc 6.2’s failing but I’ll be dammed if folks talk about that :)
The process to tear down, remove, and install a new engine is, well lets put it this way, IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN! Sell it as soon as warranty is up.
Wow! 55k in 20 months. You should put her to use. I have 28k on my '23 pro and only had it for 13 months. Friends said I killing it😂
Nice truck!

You’re exactly right. But anyone who owns this truck will ever admit it…

The recall is going to workout for you. Your getting a new engine to replace your high mileage motor. Beautiful
I think he only gets an engine if his blows up
Incorrect, all motors will be replaced under the recall, already got my notice.
@@obgod3what manufacture date is in your door jam?
I believe it is Nov 22

What state are you in?. I need to find a good dealer. Mine is not trustworthy. It’s a shame because I love my truck. Hate my dealer.
North Carolina, when I bought mine I couldnt find what I wanted and had to search, not the case today.
With regards to the tires, I think the stock size is 265/60/20?. You said 265/65/20. Nevertheless the 275/65/20 you currently have fit ok?
Yes your right, yes the 275/65/20 fit perfectly and that size tire in most any brand are some of the least expensive for some reason.
275/65R20 vs 265/60R20
34.1 inch compared to 32.5 inch
4.9% difference in rolling diameter
Truck sits 3/4inch higher
