Toyota is Buying my Tundra back *lemon law*

- From the first week of ownership, the 2022 tundra has let me down. It needs some tweaks and changes to make it what was promised. This is truly the end for my tundra.
- Auta a dopravní prostředky
My 2022 tundra I bought in March was a pain in the arse compared to my 23 tundra I purchased in October. Big improvement in quality, but still some teething issues with my 23, such as my rear sliding window vibrating when rolling down and exterior window trim pieces on the back glass peeling. But compared to my 22 that had the connectivity issues with apple car play and screen resetting etc… none of that.
I agree with you that Toyota can and should improve the tundra and all their vehicles for that matter. I watched a video of Mike Sweers talking about a change in plastic standard that they made regarding unseen plastics that they would typically not install in vehicle’s due to blemishes or being out of spec but due to Covid and parts shortage they lowered the standard to use these parts because they were out of sight and still useable. I think that thinking and process has definitely impacted the quality. Anyways enjoy your 4Runner. I had a 2020 and that also had some teething issues and I tried ford and chevy in between my last two tundras and I’m back in a tundra so that should tell you something. I would take the minor issues I’ve had cosmetically over serious mechanical and electrical issues I had with the Chevy and ford.
Brilliant comment
I have had a lot of electrical issues in my f150 big screen. Sucks paying upwards of 90k for something of that quality.
I also have the same issue with my rear window vibrating when sliding down. Have you found a solution for this yet? Thank you
@@vinhdoan3629 unfortunately they haven’t been able to fix. They have attempted it twice and after the second attempt when they replaced the actuator. It helped and sometimes when the weather is warmer there is no issues but when it’s colder or wet it vibrates. I haven’t brought it up yet because I dont want to waste another two days with them to examine it again and then ordering parts and bring it back.
@@stanpersful4723 yeah that sucks I’ve been there before. My 22 f150 had the whole 12 inch screen replaced due to blacking out. Battery replaced due to leak developing. Rear diff developing a nasty leak. Driver side a pillar not being flush with windshield, you could see the nuts and bolts behind the a pillar. Weird stuff with the windows not wanting to roll down but I figured that out from a google search. It’s too bad because ford makes a good looking truck that is very comfortable. But the ten speed transmission in that truck annoyed me the way it slammed around and hunted for gears.
TFL broke front differential on their first off road test of the new Tacoma 😂
It was an actuator
Bring back the V8, that V6 turbo is garbage.
It gvmt regulation bs
It's an amazing engine it's just brand new and un tested.. in 5 years it'll be one of the best engines toyota ever made.
@@Wolfcone that’s not a new Engine. That V6 has been around since the year 2000.
@tmr8193 Are you joking or just trying to be ignorant? The v35a fts came out in 2017 with its first introduction in the Lexus LS500?
Yep, I just bought a 24 4Runner TRD Pro. Last of its kind, bulletproof 1GR-FE and A750 transmission and made in Japan. My first brand new car ever and it’ll probably be my last
Interesting. I bought a 22 Pro and took delivery of it in September of 22. I’ve taken it to SC to watch my son graduate from USMC Paris Island, round trip from RI was 1800 miles.
Drove back down to NC Camp LeJune for ceremony gradation from SOI. 1500 miles round trip.
I drive all over New England for work and thank God I haven’t had any issues related to the engine at all.
The one issue I have had was a leak in the moon roof. I noticed a musty smell in the cabin and found the rugs under the driver seat were wet. Not soaked but wet.
The smell got more intense. I took to dealer and they found that the drain tubes that are located in the roof, which actually drain down the side of the door panels and out below the truck, had come apart and leaked.
They replaced all the carpeting and did a full test for mold etc. they also replaced my shaky headliner as well.
That solved the issue. No issues since.
I did fall victim to the cracked seat issue and they replaced that recently. And finally I had to pay for two new tires of the 4 (Toyota paid for 2) at 28k miles due to the uneven wear.
Now we have the recall and Toyota will pay for the other two.
I ended up buying an extended warranty recently before my Pro hits 36k. Cost me $2k for additional 100k miles Platinum warranty just because I know if something does happen it’s gonna cost me double or triple that if out of warranty.
Noise wise I do agree with this reviewer. Occasionally I’ll hear things but they seem to go away and are mostly rattles related to that cheap plastic stuff he’s talking about.
But man does this truck move. Wow.
Only thing there is that if I’m driving 60-65MPH and need to accelerate quickly there’s a slight hesitation and then it kicks and goes.
Lastly when I did replace my tires with Falken WildPeaks my MPG dropped from 18.9 on average to 16.3 right now. I learned that even though I replaced them with the “same” tire it’s not exactly the same. The ones I received are heavier with a deeper tread and I believe that the OEM tires are designed for better fuel economy and ONLY available when you first purchase the vehicle.
Tell your son thank you for his service for me and Semper Fi.
One reason I sprung for the 21 Tundra when I did. I was fearful of this with the redesign
I foresee a lot of Nissan v6 frontiers being sold.
Every day I’m more convinced to keep my 2006 Tundra,old school V8. 232,000 miles.
Keep in mind, this is just his truck. Many people don’t have these problems
My 2022 Tundra Platinum gas tank guage never worked, LEMON LAW was only way Toyota would work with me. They bought it back. Sad they can’t fix a simple part such as a gas tank.
Not “Japanese” cars anymore. Low quality parts assembled in Mexico.
Partly yes completely no
I have a 23 iforce max limited . Issues with filling the gas , gas gauge works intermittently. I’m working on lemon law on my truck now . Can’t wait to get my money back. Wish I kept my 2019 tundra .
if you still need a 1/2 ton pickup...I would find a gently used last gen Tundra.
It's kinda sad to see an icon fall. I've owned 4 Tacomas, 1 Tundra and now I have a 2005 4Runner with a V8. Never had a bad one. It doesn't look like this is a one off reading the comments. Think I'll hang on to the one I got.
Ford, GM, Ram, and even Nissan offers a V8 in their 2024 full-size trucks. I'm just not buying the "Toyota didn't have a choice" nonsense I hear everyone repeating.
Very true. I just can't even think of buying a full size truck with a V6 unless it was under $25k. Toyota really fucked up!
Government emission regulations. Even RAM will switch to a turbo V6 for the its 2025 models. It is unfortunate.
Toyota is known to keep their engines and powertrains for a looong time. 2GR 3.5L v6 since like 2003, 4.6L and 5.7L v8 since 2007.
You think they wanted to just spend the money for fun developing these engines when they could just churn out what they've perfected for over a decade? Make that make sense lol
I can’t believe how the reputation of Toyota in general has been slipping in the last few years. Sad…
You ate one of the very few they are taking care of. I can see why you won't bash on toyota. Toyota company has been the worst and are ignoring most of their customers. Just do yourself a favor and stay away from these truck, THEY ARE JUNK!
I’m afraid you are correct. I realize how lucky I am.
Glad to hear Toyota is taking care of you man. You sumed the truck up perfectly- fragile. Thats exactly how I feel about my 2022. I haven't had any major issues, just small fit and finish issues. I will probably end up selling it or trading it in. I've owned 3 brand new Toyotas. The 3rd gen Tundra has been my worst Toyota experience hands down.
Toyota lost their way. Higher prices and now shit products. Great job.
Even across their Lexus line with engine failures! And keeping it very hush, hush.
Toyota trucks arent what they used to be. Im not buying one
I would buy a 2021 Tundra while they’re available with low mileage.
And what are you buying? Dodge chevrolet or ford?
Tundra or Landcruiser 5.7L or bust. V8/ V6 GX/Prado/4runner are also bulletproof. I’m Getting a newer gx sooner than later.
Nothing is what it used to be. Still way better than any American crap
It takes 3 to 4 years for toyota to fix issues. Same thing happens every time there is a complete redesign. Theres no such thing is a reliable first year model
I had a 2022 Tundra Platinum and trading in for a 2023 Tacoma - too many issues with my 22’ Tundra to list. Although my local dealer was outstanding and supported me as much as possible. Lost total confidence and sold the 22’ Tundra. Four months and zero issues with the 23’ Tacoma Limited.
To be honest all the car companies are going cheap while putting up big sticker prices
A honest toyota owner, how refreshing!
Our numbers are growing. We are loyal but we want change.
Keith you looking healthy brother,good for you for losing the weight!
I’m very happy with my 21 TRD PRO TUNDRA IN LUNAR ROCK.
For $70k or even more, this is absolutely unacceptable. Sorry this happened to you.
Thanks. Yeah people deserve better trucks.
5.7 for the win
This is why I made the choice to buy a brand new 2021 Tundra 3 years ago. They told me to wait and get the new one and boy I’m glad I didn’t. So far I’ve put 45k trouble free miles. And expect to get a lot more. The new trucks are definitely not build like the old ones they are definitely fragile and will most likely age very poorly from a mechanical standpoint and an interior standpoint. Everything post covid is a pile of crap and it’s almost every single model they have now with the exception of the 4Runner and they still haven’t fixed the limited 4Runner suspension problem they will always leak and cost about $5k to fix
I bought a 2002 Tundra in 2004 still have the truck. Purchased it with 26,000 now 212,000. The usual repairs but very bulletproof!! Thought about a newer one after watching this I’ll keep her!!
Keeping my 2004 tundra 220,000 miles still going strong and reliable as ever. Keeping it forever till parts are hard to come buy and can't repair myself
I just bought a 2005 Tundra with only 44k miles on it. I paid a third of what a new Tundra would cost and it's a MUCH better truck that I know will last. The 4.7l V8 is a bulletproof motor and I'll never be a R&D experiment for any new car company.
Yeah, they made these owners Beta Testers. instead of 1 years worth of testers , it looks like it might be 3 years! Boy, your truck is 19 years old! Low miles thou. I hope the rust is minimal.
Smart move the new Toyota are expensive junk
A lot of them have major engine failure still. Two years later.
Just hit 221k trouble free miles on my 2008 5.7L sequoia. Runs like new.
Glad this worked out for you in the end. Hopefully Toyota will get this truck up to Toyota quality in the next couple of years.
You and me both!
Toyota is not the Toyota it used to be. Their Quality has gone downhill. Too bad, was a great vehicle back in the day.
Exactly if it's not broke , don't fix it. They should of kept it all old simple.
There are no quality manufacturers anymore
First time viewer I can’t speak openly but your comments are spot on! I tested all Tundra’s back in late 2021 early 2022 did EPA certification as well as Darrell ability we knew that this truck had issues but thought Toyota would fix them, as time has passed nothing seems to be much better! Not what we assumed Toyota would do. I will say this post Covid all auto manufacturers are not as good as previous years I own a 2022 Tacoma 4x4 it’s the last of what Toyota used to be. I wouldn’t buy a new Tacoma to save my life!
100% agree!!! The Tundra has convinced me to look at other rigs. It's too bad as Toyota was the last reliable truck out there.
As an owner of a 2023 Toyota Tundra SR (base model) I am having issues with mine as well, all interior related, rattles and air vent whistles galore, I have inquiries with Toyota that have gone unanswered and feel like I am being passed by (Toyota Canada) I love the truck's ride, handling and overall style, but If am looking for something built to last, built to perform and built to live, I think I will go hyper old school and look at the 1980s Dodge Rams and Ford F150s 250s, they will outlast any Toyota IMO
Thanks for bringing it to light. Too many Toyota fan boys & girls living in the past out there need to wake up and be critical of the current products.
I think people keep pointing to design flaws, and for most of the truck id disagree. What I see are mainly QC issues. The V35A engines that come from japan for lexus didnt have these problems. The Lexus 10 Speed from japan also never had these problems. Hell, even the G16E GTS from japan doesnt have these problems and id say that engine is under way more stress. This is a problem with Toyota's US Manufacturing plant for the Tundra, its clearly been a long time since they have had to transition to a new vehicle, and im willing to bet its the first time for many employees there. Same problem i think will happen with the Tacoma. The only things i think are not QC issues is the seat panel and radio, clear design flaws that need updated parts/software update.
Eventually, i do think this truck will be reliable, once QC issues are resolved.
Glad to hear it. 2004 I had lots of issues with my Nissan and their answer from Nissan north America was "you bought it, you're stuck with it." Will never own another nissan.
I’m a Chevy guy and we are having the same issues everything is so cheaply made and over complicated the 8 speed transmission suck the active fuel management is horrible I have a 05 dodge ram with over 250,000 miles original transmission and it runs so smooth. the mix of greedy car manufacturers and the epa are killing every new vehicle you can’t win anymore they all have there own problems
Just got them to buy back my '24 with 200 miles.... So happy I got out of it, me and my wife where worried about the reliability.
so much for Toyota reliability
Went to the dealer to look at upgrading to a new TRD Pro Tacoma.
No thank you.
It looks terrible. The inside feels cramped and everything feels cheap and there is way to much plastic.
ON TOP of the Dealer wanted $9,000 OVER RETAIL.
Never.
No thank you Toyota. I can buy the truck outright. And no thanks.
@@1eyedwilli3 they are known for cheaply built plastic interiors, and literally cheap plastic anywhere you look and touch. Not to mention terrible design.
I’ve been very pleased with my 2023 Capstone. I use it for daily highway use, have been off-road hunting, and have taken several trips over 1K miles each trip. It pulls a trailer very well, has plenty of power, and drives very smoothly. I don’t have and haven’t had any rattles, creaking, or plastic issues. The only issue I’ve encountered is that the automatic front air dam is currently malfunctioning and stays deployed. I haven’t had a chance for the dealership to address it, but it isn’t hindering me driving it either. This is my 4th Tundra and I won’t purchase another brand ever again.
I don’t care about Apple CarPlay, I don’t care about the fancy exterior, I value reliability over everything. My 03 Tacoma still runs like a top and I get prone offering to buy it off me nearly every time I drive it into town
I am really sorry for your experience and I think it is genuine. For me it has not been my experience. I have a 2023 Tundra Limited TRD Off Road. I have not owned a truck and years. I have found it to be an outstanding vehicle. I just turned 9K miles. Other than the seat returning to its preset position I have had no problems. Glad they bought the truck back and you cannot wrong with a 4 Runner.
Same ...my 24 Pro is flawless, blessed to own it.
Welcome to the new generation of throw away vehicles
So happy I got my 2020 5.7! I’ve heard so many horror stories of these new ones!!
I bet if Toyota offered a naturally aspirated V8 in this new body style nobody would opt for the turbo engines.
Fact!!!
Well, not sure about that. Would be interesting to look at the trends w/ the F150 Ecoboost vs the V8 coyote pwr plant. 🤔
Trends? The trend is the ecoboost engines are terrible
I compared the bighorn to the sr5 and went Ram. I saved 15k between the two. Been a reliable good driver…
my friend had them buy his car back... they took as long as they possibly could and tried blaming him for all the cars issues. he finally won.
Scotty you watchin?
I'm sure he is flailing his hands
REV UP YOUR ENGINE
21 tundra here. Last v8 im keeping mine.
I was in the market for a new truck and was completely frustrated. Not only with the prices but also the overall direction of the way new trucks are being designed and built with the over-complicated mechanics and longevity issues.
Just bought a 2003 Tundra with 90k miles on it and couldn't be happier with my decision. It's been well taken care of and I plan on keeping up the tradition and keeping it for a while.
Just bought a new 2024 1794 3 days ago. Day 1 me driver seat stopped working. Rattle from dash, passenger window, and headliner. Weird transmission shudder from 30-40mph. Now the camera system has just completely stopped working. Now just waiting for Monday to get here and take to a dealership.
Unbelievable. They’ve fixed nothing.
We tried the same with our '16 Tacoma... the infamous Lemona 🍋. Finally decided to just trade it in for a '17 F150 5.0. Great truck... zero issues after all these years.
Our dealership was fantastic... it was dealing with Toyota Corporate that was a nightmare. Trust me, I feel your pain.
Good luck with everything. 👍🏾
I'm a long time owner of Toyotas. I Just bought a new Nissan with an old fashion V6 instead of Toyota's new 4 cyl turbo.
Those new frontiers look great. And I'm a ranger guy.
So, let me see if I have this straight: you paid $60,000 for a truck you wouldn't trust to drive 500 miles? Oh how the mighty have fallen. GREAT VIDEO!
People rag on Ram quality but my 21 TRX has been absolutely bullet proof. I punish that truck and it has given me no issues. Get another V8 and leave those twin turbo V6s alone.
Ole!👊🏻
Glad I didn't wait on the next gen tundra. Pulled the trigger in 21 and I plan to keep it for as long as possible.
Just go buy a nice used 2021 or older Tundra with the tried and true 5.7 that thing is bulletproof
I kept my 2018 longer to see what the new style owners would uncover. Looks like I’m keeping it a bit longer until Toyota works things out.
I am glad that they purchased it and refunded you. I am always weary of the first 2 year models of any new generation of vehicles. I had a 2019 tundra that got totaled at 8k miles, so my next choice was a 2020 tundra trd pro. I couldn't be happier... I wasn't tempted to upgrade to the latest generation, not even the slightest. I am hoping that they will consider bringing back the V8 as an option, and improve the quality control all across the board. It is disappointing to see how the standards have gone down, and I hope it is not due to DEI, like everything else seems to be going down to the gutters in this country.
Quality is going down because parts are sourced from all over and thrown together. Nothing is completely in house anymore.
@@d.e.harris3621 That is a valid point.
Unfortunately, our dearly beloved 5.7 will not return in a Toyota🫤
30+ yr Toyota buyer here. Last weekend bought 2024 Nissan Frontier Pro4x. Imagine that.
I wouldn’t trust anything after 2020. The quality parts and assembly went to crap along with way too many changes. As a 2022 Nissan Frontier owner, and who owned a 17 and 18 Titan and titan XD and two older frontiers (better) but now owns a 2012 Pro4x Titan. Don’t expect miracles from your Frontier, I’m trading ours in this weekend due to undiagnosed intermittent transmission issues that the recalls and software updates didn’t fix. It’s always been finicky from day one with random bangs and jerks and hunting but what showed up at the 30k mile Mark was intermittent torque converter lockup at idle in gear that stalls the engine out or lunges you forward. So my wife won’t drive it and I’m over it. Hopefully ours is just a one off, there is a class action lawsuit against Nissan for the 20 and 21 models years for similar though
I’ll stick with my 04 Tundra with 210k miles. She is still going strong! Sorry you have had these issues!
You don’t care about the environment? 🤷♂️
@@RustyZipper what? I get 19 mpg in my v8 tundra. I think the new one gets 21? I’ll save the world’s resources that would be used to make me a new truck and keep using my old one, if that’s ok with you!
Ride it out until either it our you give up. That’s what I’m doing?
@@17forever64 so well put, lmao, love your retort!!😂👊🏻
Man. Toyota better get it together. They are having way too many issues, build quality is down, cheaper materials, reliability is way down. They should have continued to offer the 5.7. The 5.7 matched with tue 10 speed would get decent fuel economy and have good acceleration. It did well with the 6 speed so I think it would do better with the 10 speed. I remember when Toyota products had zero door panel flex when you closed the doors. I can't believe how bad this truck is considering how long it took to actually bring it to the market. The previous tundra lasted from 2007-2021 with just a minor refresh. You'd think with all of the time it took to bring this to the market it would be class leading at something,. Its sad that Toyota cut so many corners when it comes to quality and materials. They literally need to go back to the drawing board with this truck and use netter materials and simplify the powertrain.
Got a 2024 4Runner last weekend. Wanted that proven reliability. Hope you enjoy yours. Keep us updated on what you end up with.
Toyota like other domestic truck manufacturers got greedy. We as consumers will pay for it.
Of course you will, suckers born every minute, can't wait to over pay for a pos.
Sounds like Toyota cut a ton of corners and ruined the reputation of the Tundra. Sad!!!
Yup, they listened to BMW and this is the high-tech junk they flog today.
I drive a Corolla 23 Cross today. Still iffy on it/ but it runs so far.
My 07 Dodge 3.2L just turned 300,000 on her. Rund like a charm/ burns no oil 90 % original engine parts etc. Body has stage 4 though. Salt in Canada.
Man I’m so glad you finally got help from Toyota. I kept up with your initial series… crazy to think that was 2 yrs ago. They should have sorted this out then. But I know lemon law varies by state.
Glad you got it sorted man, you deserve it!
I appreciate that!
Thanks for the information! I have owned 3 Toyota Camry and currently have a Rav4 with no issues. I also have a 2017 Ram 2500 CTD that I am considering trading off for a new truck. I have been looking hard at the Toyota Tundra and have seen way too many issues with this new generation truck to take a chance and spend $70,000 to buy a problem child. The direction technology is going with the new generation trucks, I think I'll sit on the side lines and watch for a few more years. My Ram has been trouble free. I just thought I might give a Tundra a try but my better judgement has kicked in and I'll pass. If I was Toyota I would think twice about engineering and building any more pickup trucks in the U.S.A. based on how this Tundra has turned out so far.
Just like that, Toyota trucks turned into a Ram.
Don’t compare the junk new tundra to the excellent Ram. Hemi v8 and 8 speed is reliable no issues. Cab is quiet and ride is smooth.
@@nordlandak6853Good luck with that. RAM trucks are still built like crap. My 2016 ram needed so much work at only 85k miles. I would never recommend someone buy a ram.
A full-size pick up truck should not be fragile. This is an excellent video and saved me a lot of time.
“Fragile”, you nailed it!!👍🏻👍🏻
I bought a 2024 SR Base 2WD in Dec. Had to order it from the factory. I was always a chevy guy. I bought the Tundra because I needed a truck and thought it would have "less" problems than GM and Fords I keep reading about. It now has 14k miles. Been using it as a work truck and pulling trailers, etc. It is an awesome driving and towing truck. I have made multiple 200 mile trips with a loaded trailer and its a dream to drive. I can't even feel the transmission shifting. And it's the detuned 348HP too. The 5 point rear suspension is rock solid. I've heard about all of the horror stories about the Tundras and your video seems the most honest. I don't doubt any of your issues and I'm sure it sucks. So far I haven't had any major issues with wind noise or anything. I've noticed a few minor things like if you only put a couple of gallons of gas in it, the fuel gauge doesn't show it for a while and doesn't change the mileage range. And I did notice a little flexing on the door handle if its windy. No problems with the infotainment or connecting of the phone. So far I would say I'm happy with it. Knock on wood. I bought the 80k warranty anyway. Time will tell.....
I fully believe if Toyota switched out their oil recommendation to a 0w-30 or 5W-30 all these issues would go away. 0w-20 is simply too thin for the heat created by a twin turbo engine in an almost 6,000 lb truck. Ford had issues with the coyote in gen 1&2 with the 5W-20 getting too thin and spinning bearings. 21 model year they went to 5W-30 and no more spun bearings.
One cannot follow dealer guidelines. OIl Change intervals should be cut in half and only really quality synthetic should be used Pennzoil Ultimate or Amsoil along with a factory filter. EPA mandates require manufacturers to do this kind of wizadry.
What's their guidelines 10k oil change 0w-30? I think you can request 5w-30 @ 5k
Much respect for your honesty. It's All manufacturers, they are just building expensive junk.
Im ACTUALLY SURPRISED TOYOTA did NOT "have you sign a non disclosure statement" as they NORMALLY do after a buy back etc.............While I believe TOYOTA is a solid brand they do have the most vehicles out on the roads world wide, thus they are ACTUALLY bigger than Rolls Royce and Bentley in that sense...Quality control is lessened with quantity or quality lately. I hope the forerunner will not suffer the fate of this Tundra which is in the exotic price range!
I saw one Bentley and zero rolls Royce in my life. So pretty much any manufacturer can make this claim.
Nice to hear that everything works out for you
Why did they do this! Emissions! Hell with it. They took a legend and just ruined it
because they wanted the government incentive for lowering emissions, they have the option to not do it
I have 2024 Toyota Tundra Platinum Iforce max fully loaded over 4000 miles so far perfect truck I hope will stay that way.
I have also 2016 Toyota Tundra sr5 TRD off road much basic but I still like it.
Never had any problems on that one either 117000 miles.
toyota was never suppose to be a premium product. the customer want performance. i dont want performance i want slow and reliable 300,000 miler with minimal issues.
4 wheels and a seat. My Dodge Caravan 3.2 just turned 300,000Km last week. Runs like new/no oil burn/ original tranny.
Change the oil every 3,000Km and suck to tranny fluid every 2-3 years and good as gold. No noise/ idles like a champ.
Did buy a backup Corolla Cross 2023 but seldom drive it.
I have owned three tundras all V-8’s. I currently have one Tacoma with 280,000 miles on it and I have a 2018 Ford raptor with 125,000 miles on it. The Ford is definitely a maintenance queen, but even that has been very reliable for me. I test drove a brand new Toyota tundra today and I was very disappointed. I don’t think I’ll be trading in my raptor or selling it anytime soon.
So well put it as it is , I have 4 toyotas today at home from a land cruiser to a corolla but you hit the nail on the head .
But I still have hope that toyota will figure it out.
Definitely not the same company it once was. They need to go back to having Japanese engineers design their vehicles. Toyota has become Americanized and what a shocker this is the result. Sounds like someone talking about a big 3 vehicle.
Thank you for your honesty and courage. Metoo
I’ve. Owned a 17 Tundra Pro a 21 Tundra Pro, my wife drives a Land Cruiser.. I’m apprehensive about the new Tundra. I’ve heard so many negative reviews about it.. thanks for the honesty
Great, honest review of your experience without any hyperbole!
just putting this out there but my 2024 corolla hybird with 2500 is turning into a rust bucket. will be starting lemon law tomorrow.
My only complaint on my 23 Corolla is the paint. Any little thing chips the paint . I had to buy the paint pen to patch up all the chips
Oh man, I feel for you on that.
I have a new 2023 Corolla Cross new but only but seldom drive it.
I love my 07 Dodge Caravan 2.3 with 300,000Km on it. Betsy never has let me down in 17 years.
I am in Canada and the land of liquid salt.
@@luckyguy600 That's awesome to hear. Most dodge-chrysler products don't last that long.
Bought Japanese made 4Runner last year and love it!❤
Come back in 2 years and see if comment still holds true. Lol.
the new 2025 4-runners will be made in Japan too Gomer
I saw your video about your 22 in the shop about the turbo issue and others new tundra owners talking about their Tundra. I stick with the second Gen V8 2020. I only putting 32k on my.
So far so good.
Thanks for sharing.
I have 50k on mine.... no issues at all like most folks out there... the first few ones had lots of issues... yup it sucks.
I’ll stick with my 2006 Toyota Tundra double cab V8 4x4.. no car payments no issues just simple maintenance
I hear these engines are blowing up because of that crank girdle design. Total engine replacements up to 40 grand. I can't even imagine that kind of bill once warranty is up.
This is why I don't buy first model anything. I'm glad you did so I can find the sweet spot and it's usually after a few iterations or at least 3-4 years into a model. Tbh I want to buy the last year or two of a model before a refresh. But I don't come from money so what do I know 😂
Glad I purchased my 24 4Runner over a 24 Tundra. I debated for a while but i know i made the right choice in the long run
I think you just had a lemon. I have a 22 platinum. 34,000 toe 7,000lbs almost daily for work. I took it on a 1,100 mile trip through mountains. Thing has been nothing but great. I watched your video to see what could possibly be wrong. So far so good. Hope it lasts another 200,000 miles
Good did you check your transmission temperature let me know please.
every model sometimes just has a lemon where there were manufacturing issues. The good thing about Toyota is this truck will go back to the factory and they will take it apart piece by piece, examine the entire manufacturing process and find out where they screwed up to make this lemon. Toyota continuous improvement model is designed to address issues like this. @@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK
I will hold on to my 2010 5.7 Tundra, 230000 miles still running strong. Never have any major issues, I almost bought a 2023. I am so glad I did not buy it!!! Thank you for this review. I have always changed my oil at 5k and have always done the proper maintenance on it. It's so sad to hear this about toyota truck's.
yes I have the 2008 5.7L truck with over 160,000 miles
Problem is that you're likely to have major issues with any new truck. For what these companies are charging none of them build a solid bulletproof vehicle. Your best hope nowadays is to just have good luck.
Sadly, you're right.
Unfortunately your story is precisely why I will never sell my 2019. I am sure Toyota will work out many of the bugs over the next few years, but it will never be the same.
Keeping my 2019 as well.
Really appreciate your honesty. Sorry for your experience and best of luck with your 4Runner. Sometimes RELIABLE is the best course of action.
I have a 2003 Tacoma TRD Off Road and a 2021 Tacoma TRD Pro. I have never had a lick of a problem with either. Both have the tried and true 3.4L and 3.5L, respectively, NA engines and reliable trans. I have no intention of upgrading to the new generation of Toyota trucks. I still get offers on both my Tacomas nearly everytime I take them out.
Wish me luck, picking up a 2024 Tundra CrewMax SR5 L TRD Offroad.
My 2018 F150 was a lemon, had 27 warranty claims. Multiple recalls, I wish I got a buy back like you did. Good on Toyota for helping you out.
Ford didn’t do anything.
I’ve got a red 23 Limited OR and have had 0 issues so far. I am retired and don’t drive it every day. I’ve put on about 7500 miles and half of that was from an extended vacation. Only thing I would change is I’d get a long bed for more cargo space.
I knew the turbo v6 would be not as reliable as the v8. I got my 20 Tundra and with 54 000 kms now i have 3 issues. One dead battery....one cracked windshield and bot covered under warranty. 3rd issue was just last week...seized rear driver side brake caliper. That was a surprise but it may have been defective from new. These issues were pretty minor. The v8 and 6speed are very reliable and no issues at all. The fuel economy of the v8 is not terrible. With reliability, I can absorb the cost of fuel.
