@@2URLexnot all true. Most of the tundra is built in the US. That is only for a short time as well. They have already moved all of the Tacoma’s to Mexico. Tundras to follow.
I was in a very bad accident in November in which both my legs were broken. Spent 3 months in a wheelchair, finally walked in March. Back to work last week. I’m 35 and I have never ever bought a new vehicle but after that I figured it was time to get something nice and safe. I absolutely fell in love with the Tundra and picked up a 24 Limited Nightshade in Magnetic Gray in March. For weeks I watched YT videos and was super encouraged. I’m 1600 miles in with no issues, but as of about 2 weeks ago YT is now pushing all the videos of numerous issues people are having and it’s putting a slight pit in my stomach. If this thing gives me issues after everything it took to get to where I’m at, I’m gonna be pretty sad. That said, I appreciate you being honest and from what I can see very objective about the issues. I’m sorry it’s happening to you and I hope they make it right and you don’t have to worry about it ever again.
Thanks for the kind words, and I am sorry to hear about your challenges. I hope your Tundra remains trouble free, and know that this truck doesn't personify all of the effort and hard work you put in to recover. Cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing with us. 🙏 So sorry that you had to deal with this. On a bright side, your video just helped me not wanting any new cars for a long long time.
This may help or maybe not. We had the same issue with the harmonic hum between 60 and 70 MPH. We don't have a Toyota, it was on a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The dealer was clueless as to the "root cause" and just wanted to keep throwing (my) money at the problem. We declined and took the vehicle to a driveshaft specialist shop. They test drove it, documented the harmonic hum and said it was the "out of balance" drive shaft. It was removed, put on a computerized lathe type of balancer, located where weights are to be attached (just like your wheel rims), attached the weights, reinstalled the driveshaft, test drove it and guess what ... no more harmonic hum. Check your driveshaft for out of balance with a specialist. You can thank us later. Good Luck. Cheers.
@traviscrown9189 I agree, but unfortunately, dealers don't go the extra mile when under warranty. Once the warranty runs out, they will find everything that is wrong and provide an estimated cost with no delays
Same thing on my new 4x4 Blazer years ago. New vehicle, they replaced the whole front wheel drive assy. It was the driveshaft. I told them it was when I first brought it in.
I am so thankful I’ve pampered my 2008 5.7 double cab! With just 133,684 miles, I plan to keep it forever! Having an actual key, 381 horses, and no stupid looking iPad stuck to the dash….thats a win win to me!
I'm in the market for a new truck and have recently done quite a lot of research. Narrowed it down to a 2021 Tundra Platinum in Wind Chill Pearl. Beautiful, bullet-proof, reliable. Videos like yours have helped me make a good choice, and I thank you for being willing to share your experience.
I had the same hum at 70 that got a little louder at 75+. Not sure if it was normal. But just traded for more than I paid for it (used) towards a loaded gmc sierra elevation with $13k off. Couldn’t be happier.
@@northerntoyota7584 you had one done? 5.3 or 6.2? I was just taking a shot at what people are reporting is the rebuild cost on the Toyota 3.4l tt, but I will most likely not have the gmc outside of the extended warranty period or 10 years 100k miles.
I would also echo an earlier comment that it is the driveshaft that needs to be taken to a shop that specializes in this fix. What you described, a hum at a specific speed exactly is the symptom of a driveshaft out of balance! I know exactly how frustrating this is for you and also how satisfying it is to get this resolved after spending all kinds of time to investigate, diagnose, and finally have a smooth quiet drivetrain! Good luck and forget about another rear differential replacement.
Replaced the rear differential on my 2023 Platinum under warranty, the noise is gone now. It was really bad at 78mph and above while not towing, towing the noise started at 64-65mph, I assume the load had to do with the noise! Next time I have to do anything major to the truck it is gone! Been a Toyota fan all my life but now I regret getting a 3rd gen Tundra!
I’ve heard of Toyota buying these back. There’s another TH-camr that got Toyota to buy his back. Good luck. Typically with full re-design the first year has some common issues and they usually get those fixed by year 2 or 3. With this tundra the issues seem to be all over the map!
The best way to avoid a disaster is to see it ahead of time… I’m just a subscriber, but that many visits to the dealer is enough… But, who am I to say? I’ll just keep watching and see what you do next…
Saw my neighbor’s new 1794 Tundra being hauled off on a flat bed recently. Turns out it was lemon lawed back due to constantly going into limp mode. They replaced computer and some other things but could never fix it.
Dude if you can lemon law this why the fuck would you not? Don’t want to deal with the headache? Make them buy your truck back. Throwing money away on a trade in when you can lemon law it would be the dumbest thing ever.
Because the lemon law IS A JOKE, that's why, been there done that with my Dodge PU 1500. You get screwed either way so he might as well take the easier route, take the loss and move on with life. Coming from experience.
I hate to see this. I hope it gets resolved. I've had a 1995 tacoma and now a 2014 tacoma and fortunately never had an issue. I would never buy one of the 2024's. My wife has a 2024 4runner and we love it. Much respect from North Carolina and hope to another video with an update.
Same. 2014 with no issues to date. Changed the plugs at 100K and they looked brand new. Sucks gas, but it's reliable and doesn't have to scream to hit 8K rpm to come up to speed like the new gerbil wheel baby v6 with turbos. Don't forget to change that serpentine belt.
@@Jayzilla-jr4fr I replaced the belt last year. Other than that just regular oil changes is all I have done. The difference between MPG is miniscule. I will never buy the new Tundra.
I understand you. I have got the 2023 1794 Toyota Tundra, and I have left it at the dealership multiple times as well. And the crazy thing is that Toyota's second-hand value is worse. Something needs to be done.
I had my 24 Limited bought back by Toyota under Ca lemon law for the same differential issue. I feel your pain brother. I had to replace my differential after 37 days in the shop still the same noise. They have their field service tech come out and inspect it at the same time other trucks were in the shop for the same problem. They concluded it was a “normal noise“. Bullshit!! This with many other issues was too much for me to take. My truck at 3700 miles on it when they bought it back. I went with Toyota for the same reasons everybody else does; reliability. This was not the case. I then purchased a 24 ram 1500 Laramie with a good old V-8. I love the truck, and should’ve bought the Ram in the first place. Good luck to you and everybody else that are having major issues with this absolute abysmal failure of a truck called the new tundra
My 2024 SR5 TRD OR had the same issue at 75mph. Toyota replaced rear diff at 1200 miles and confirmed metal in the oil. 500 miles later it’s humming again but closer to 80mph. Drove an identical truck on their lot with 2 miles on it and it had the same issue! Bough it to replace my 170k mile 2006 tundra because wanted more space, still kicking myself for it. Hearing about main bearing failures too now makes me want to cut my losses and trade it for a low mileage 21.
That is disappointing to hear. I've heard of others having the same issue after the differential replacement. Toyota needs to sort this out, as it seems like it's a widespread issue.
Toyota actually manufactures the fuel pumps and the mass air sensor and several electrical parts for Chrysler, so they probably made your Jeep harmonic balancer. I have to check and see if that’s Denso/Toyota.
I have a 2019 Tundra DC TRDSport 5.7. I had to have the carrier assembly replaced on mine at 14k miles. It was covered under power train warranty. It made a humming noise at highway speeds. All set now they put it on the lift the dealer and was like yep it needs to be replaced. 3days in shop. Otherwise no other issues.
My 24 has been flawless. Less than 6,900 miles but i love it. I hope you get it resolved. Has anyone figured if it’s isolated to the Trd OR with locking diffs?
That's awesome! I hope it remains trouble free for you. There's no rhyme or reason to it right now. Just hit or miss. I suspect it's more widespread than people know about.
@@mikefoehr235 be sure they cover if you tow something and Toyota said the new transmission temperature can go up to 265 degrees.. that is a big BS. Talk to a transmission mechanic to see what they said about that.
My 23 TRD pro has ran flawlessly. Sorry you’re having so much trouble. New diff and it’s still doing. That’s not the problem maybe driveshaft or transmission? I would take it to a different dealership see if you can get better technician to work on it. Good luck!
The rear humming could be a parts issue. I remember the early 3rd gen have humming in the rear and toyota stealership told people it was normal. Turns out it was wrong parts issue.
Yep, that's it. My service department and Toyota diagnosed it as a bad rear diff after finding metal shavings in the diff. Have your service dept check it out!
@ZetaDogProductions yes. "No repair". The drove it and a new 24 and told me it was a built-in issue. I'm going to call toyota tomorrow. It's definitely in the drive line, but I think torque converter. When you are pulling and it goes into.lock up is when the cycling vibration starts.
So sorry man. I’ve a 2019 Tundra TRD Pro and a 2024 Rav4 Limited that replaced a 2019 Highlander. So far so good. I purposefully waited to get a Japanese built Rav4 and happy I did.
With the plug-and-play turbo kit hitting the market for the 5.7, there is almost zero reason to buy the newer tundras. You can spend half the cost to buy a ~2019 and turbo it, and get the same if not better performence all around meanwhile having a way more reliable truck with parts aplenty. Not to mention a real backrow
Why would you turbo the super-reliable 5.7 that already has more power than needed? Turbos are unreliable with too many moving parts. Plus, you'd get 6 mpg.
That sux man. Just got mine last friday. Trd-off-road as well and same magnetic grey. Surprised to see a chromed front grill though. Though they’re supposed to be body color on the trd off-road packages. Hope they get it resolved or that you can lemon it out and be happy.
I’ve have the exact same truck since October. Currently at 8.5k and haven’t had an issue. But, if mine becomes as problematic as yours, I’ll get a lemon law attorney and force Toyota to buy it back.
Sorry to hear about your experience. I have a 24 Tundra TRD Pro with 4,600miles on it so far it has been trouble free. Hopefully it’ll stay that way. Toyota quality sure isn’t what it used to be, especially with these new models equipped with turbo charged powertrain. I used to keep Toyota vehicles beyond warranty expiration seems like it won’t be the case with this one.
Got mines less than two weeks ago and already have trim pieces that rattle and the transmission is not smooth shifting at all. Should’ve kept my 4Runner
Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger. Bought new 2018 ZR2 Colorado. Problems with transmission after 3 months . Never fixed by warranty. I have no confidence in any brand.
My 2022 COVID Tacoma Nightshade had a dead battery before 4000km - it had a few other issues (paint defect, water leak.) I traded it in at 4500km for a loss, but at least I didn't have to worry about what was to come.
The bearing where the drive shaft meets at the diff has to be perfectly pressed all the way down. A little off then at highway speeds you will get that vibration had nitro 4.88 gears installed and when they put it back together on my 2nd gen had vibration at highway speed about 50 mph most noticeable at 70
I am with you. Time to get rid of that truck as much as I like Toyota's , I do not want a vehicle that is in the shop every week. You either got a lemon or Toyota has a problem. I have a 24 Tundra Limited with only 1200 miles on it, no problems or complaints so far, but if it starts giving me trouble like yours has, it will be finding a new owner. Sorry you are having all that trouble with a new vehicle. Maybe Toyota will give you another truck. If not, looks like you need to go to another manufacturer.
My 22 has a slight hum or maybe more like a whine! My 07 gen 2 had the same thing. Not a big deal though & if they weren't so quiet I bet you wouldn't notice it
As an early adopter of the 3rd gen Tacoma, and now the 3rd gen tundra, its really clear that the first 3 to even 4 years of the new gens are almost a beta test. It always seems like people report these issues very early on and it takes a Toyota a long time to address them. Both my 2017 Taco, and 2023 Tundra seem to be good both platforms I've had little issues but a bunch of annoying things that seem to get fixed later. I think I'm done with buying the first 3 years and waiting for the mid cycles if sticking with Toyota. Your experiences seems to be consistent with others, not all of them are bad, but the trucks that are bad are REALLY bad. My 2023 Platinum interior and windows are pretty solid but you shouldn't have to fork out tons of extra money for a properly assembled interior.
I have 200k miles on our 5.7l Sequoia. Sucks to see all these refreshed Toyotas having all these failures. Makes me wonder how the Toyota engineers dropped the ball this hard especially since Toyota has had the best reputation for reliability.
Might want to get the 2nd gen. I love my 2020. I added the Toyota transmission cooler back on, which was very easy to do. But yeah, it's a great truck. Funny thing is, I had mine regeared and I still don't have a whine. Usually, they will, but I guess I got lucky. Also, just be glad your main bearings haven't gone out yet.
@ZetaDogProductions Yeah, it sucks. The new CEO of Toyota is destroying the brand name and reputation for reliability. Such a shame. And I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for Toyota to make it right. I would try to use the lemon law and get the hell out of that thing.
Humming is a common problem with Toyota trucks and the culprit is the Hino rear axle. For some reason they're just prone to being noisy. Replacing it more than likely isn't going to help. I wish they would just contract with Dana instead. Never had any issues with those.
Well, they found metal shavings in the diff oil the first time, and after their discussion with Toyota corporate, they replaced the diff. So, independent of the diffs potentially being characteristically noisy, they're also defective.
Give it the boot and move on. I did with my subpar Toyota experience and constant issues with a 2019 Tacoma. It wasn’t worth keeping it around and being stressed over a vehicle. Haven’t looked back.
I had the same humming sound (among other issues) in my 24’ Limited TRD OR w/ 3000 miles. It sold it. Driving a 24’ GMC AT4X w/ 3.0 L DuraMax. WTF Toyota?!? I have a 95’ 4Runner, 11’ LX570 and 13 RX350. I’ve Owned 11 Toyota Trucks and SUVs and the newer ones are no bueno!
There's a lot of 22-23's for sale down here in Texas as well. I hope documenting my owner experience can help inform potential buyers. Thanks for watching!
@@ZetaDogProductions I love it man , keep putting out the videos showing how much of a failure these new toyota trucks are . Hope all of this makes it back to toyota corporate and we see some kind of change in the years coming
I would bet money that the drive shaft is out of balance. I have seen this on several different manufactures new vehicles over the years. Have them rebalance or replace the drive shaft. If that does not fix the issue, lemon law it or trade it and move on. Toyota seems to be having great difficulty producing a quality trouble free experience with the 3rd gen Tundra.
My 2021 4Runner had that hum, I changed the diff fluid out to redline oil and Archoil 9100 additive. It fixed my hum right up. I’m at 75k miles, no hum, no drone. My wife’s 2020 rear diff did NOT have the hum. Just my new 2021 4Runner.
At about 3:03 you mentioned expected depreciation….. if Toyota did this right it wouldn’t be the case to the degree implied (not being confrontational btw, just explaining from my perspective). My $36,000 2018 4Runner TRD OR is nothing short of an investment with a silly amount of equity- I was offered $41,700 during an oil change @ Toyota with 77,000 miles on her. Toyota is simply dropping the ball and we must remain skeptical as the reliability reports and inflated prices are screaming to run from newer models. For the record I’ve owned 3 Toyota vehicles including Scion, Lexus, and my 4 Runner… I’m 42 years old for reference of ownership. Pretty easy to figure out why my “body count” of ownership is so low. I LOVE Toyota but man I don’t like them right now.
@@ZetaDogProductions thank you homie ❤️ keep us all updated. I/ we hate that you’re going through all of this bc Toyota as a brand is known for reliability and doing right by its customers. There are a ton of reviews that are padding these newer vehicles all while we’re beyond the 1st year production “glitches.” Kinda BS considering the price in my opinion. Again- I thank you sincerely for your transparency 🙌🏻
I have seen so many videos concerning the major problems with the 3rd gen tundra, that I thank the Good Lord above almost every day that I didn't wait and got a 2021 Tundra V8 while I was still able to in 2021. 62829 miles as of today and not a darn thing has happened other than grins from that TRD dual Exhaust.
Hi, You need to get rid of it now before is too late just imagine how many problems is going to have ones it gets 100,000 miles, if gets close to that mileage with a major problem i’m just saying
What ??? That hum is the carrier bearings on the driveshaft, how does Toyota not know that lol. If this truck was lifted by any means, let the know. Lifting any type of truck whether it is Ford, Toyota, Chevy or Dodge... It will change the angle of your carrier bearings and create a little hum.
Toyota has had problems many times before. Let’s quit acting like this is so unreal for them. From 1997-2006 the v6 engine had a sludge problem, Toyota was sued in a class action law suit for that and had to pay big time. Then there’s the rusting frames on all Toyota truck sequoia, Tacoma, tundra. Then there’s the engine issues on the 4 cylinder engine from 2004 to 2014. Now they’re having engine issues with the 4 cylinder engine burning oil badly since 2012, and also this new turbo v6 rod bearing issues and turbo problems. If it were Nissan all the car reviewers would say the CVT is trash, but for Toyota they claim they are impeccable in reliability. How does Toyota always escape scrutiny? It’s getting old! By the way I bought my Nissan Xterra v6 2001 23 years ago, I still drive it, it has started every day reliably I’ve put 453,387 miles on it. Runs good. All original powertrain and power windows cruise control all still works never replaced.
I had a 2018 tacoma trd offroad 4x4. It was a turd. Electrical problems...reoccurring coil issue that would put truck in limp mode. Radio and navigation worked intermittently. Cruise saw on 80% of vehicles ahead. A buzzards shadow could set it off. Multiple fuel pumps...1 recalled pump, then more after that. The dealershit was extremely unhelpfull and arrogant. Nope. Never another toyota of any kind. Mazda has some association with totota. Don't think i will be buying from them either.
Mind boggling that Toyota quality has collapsed. When they were all from Japan they were bulletproof. The more cars and trucks that moved stateside the greater the number of problems. Been to Japan. The commitment to excellence is ingrained in the business culture. They are now producing close to 1 million vehicles per year in the US but almost 3 million per year in Japan. Wonder which ones have issues?
Old Toyotas are superior. New Toyotas are over priced garbage. Toyota even has one of their engineers on TH-cam explaining how great their turbo engines are🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rear diffs, main bearing failures, engine replacements, metal shaving in the turbos, cheap door seals, squeaks… Toyota has dropped a big TuRD on its loyal followers.

All set now they put it on the lift the dealer and was like yep it needs to be replaced. 3days in shop. Otherwise no other issues.
My 24 has been flawless. Less than 6,900 miles but i love it. I hope you get it resolved. Has anyone figured if it’s isolated to the Trd OR with locking diffs?
That's awesome! I hope it remains trouble free for you. There's no rhyme or reason to it right now. Just hit or miss. I suspect it's more widespread than people know about.
@@ZetaDogProductions i keep listening and mines dead quiet. I’ve heard of a few so far with the diff issues.
6900 miles, better be flawless
My 20 Tundra has had 2 issues in 4 years...a bad battery and a cracked windshield. The 2nd gen with the v8nis hard to beat. I would say bullet proof.
Since 2017 Toyota removed external transmission cooler from all tundras Big mistake you better don't tow anything.
@@pecosb5221 I have extended warranty and I think synthetic fluid may overcome the loss of the cooler.
@@mikefoehr235 be sure they cover if you tow something and Toyota said the new transmission temperature can go up to 265 degrees.. that is a big BS. Talk to a transmission mechanic to see what they said about that.
My 23 TRD pro has ran flawlessly. Sorry you’re having so much trouble. New diff and it’s still doing. That’s not the problem maybe driveshaft or transmission? I would take it to a different dealership see if you can get better technician to work on it. Good luck!
Thanks!
I traded in my 2016 tundra and got a 2024 4Runner. While I miss the tundra I’m hoping to get a long time with a dependable vehicle.
The rear humming could be a parts issue. I remember the early 3rd gen have humming in the rear and toyota stealership told people it was normal. Turns out it was wrong parts issue.
Every state has a lemon law . Check into it .
I wonder done canada have a lemon law
I have the same vibration issues, 1400 miles. It's a humm/vibration that cycles at highway speed under light acceleration.
Yep, that's it. My service department and Toyota diagnosed it as a bad rear diff after finding metal shavings in the diff. Have your service dept check it out!
@ZetaDogProductions yes. "No repair". The drove it and a new 24 and told me it was a built-in issue. I'm going to call toyota tomorrow. It's definitely in the drive line, but I think torque converter. When you are pulling and it goes into.lock up is when the cycling vibration starts.
@@ZetaDogProductions called Toyota today, waiting on them to call back 1-2 business days.
@@TheMILVET Good! Stay on them and good luck!
So sorry man. I’ve a 2019 Tundra TRD Pro and a 2024 Rav4 Limited that replaced a 2019 Highlander. So far so good. I purposefully waited to get a Japanese built Rav4 and happy I did.
With the plug-and-play turbo kit hitting the market for the 5.7, there is almost zero reason to buy the newer tundras. You can spend half the cost to buy a ~2019 and turbo it, and get the same if not better performence all around meanwhile having a way more reliable truck with parts aplenty. Not to mention a real backrow
Why would you turbo the super-reliable 5.7 that already has more power than needed? Turbos are unreliable with too many moving parts. Plus, you'd get 6 mpg.
That sux man. Just got mine last friday. Trd-off-road as well and same magnetic grey. Surprised to see a chromed front grill though. Though they’re supposed to be body color on the trd off-road packages. Hope they get it resolved or that you can lemon it out and be happy.
Thanks! They offer the fake chrome on the SR5's with the TRD OR. I hope yours remains trouble free and you get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Cheers!
@@ZetaDogProductions probly no difference with limited iforce max when it comes to the diff, not sure. pls keep us updated and thx.
I’ve have the exact same truck since October. Currently at 8.5k and haven’t had an issue. But, if mine becomes as problematic as yours, I’ll get a lemon law attorney and force Toyota to buy it back.
Sorry to hear about your experience. I have a 24 Tundra TRD Pro with 4,600miles on it so far it has been trouble free. Hopefully it’ll stay that way. Toyota quality sure isn’t what it used to be, especially with these new models equipped with turbo charged powertrain. I used to keep Toyota vehicles beyond warranty expiration seems like it won’t be the case with this one.
Damn man, got a lemon. Ive had zero issues with my 2023PRO. Hope Toyota makes it right for you.
Got mines less than two weeks ago and already have trim pieces that rattle and the transmission is not smooth shifting at all. Should’ve kept my 4Runner
Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger. Bought new 2018 ZR2 Colorado. Problems with transmission after 3 months . Never fixed by warranty. I have no confidence in any brand.
Sadly, this is the reality of the car industry as a whole right now. You get less for more money.
My 2022 COVID Tacoma Nightshade had a dead battery before 4000km - it had a few other issues (paint defect, water leak.) I traded it in at 4500km for a loss, but at least I didn't have to worry about what was to come.
The bearing where the drive shaft meets at the diff has to be perfectly pressed all the way down. A little off then at highway speeds you will get that vibration had nitro 4.88 gears installed and when they put it back together on my 2nd gen had vibration at highway speed about 50 mph most noticeable at 70
That’s why the dealerships are full of them .
I’ve taken my ‘23 platinum tundra in to the dealer for hard shifts in transmission 3 times . They have told me it needs a software/transmission reset
I hope they get that trans sorted out for you!
why dont you install if possible a gopro camera underneath just to double check?
I am with you. Time to get rid of that truck as much as I like Toyota's , I do not want a vehicle that is in the shop every week. You either got a lemon or Toyota has a problem. I have a 24 Tundra Limited with only 1200 miles on it, no problems or complaints so far, but if it starts giving me trouble like yours has, it will be finding a new owner. Sorry you are having all that trouble with a new vehicle. Maybe Toyota will give you another truck. If not, looks like you need to go to another manufacturer.
I hope yours remains trouble free, and thanks for watching!
Bro, soon you will be waiting weeks for the lower engine replacement. I traded mine in for a new F150 last week.
GET RID OF IT ASAP BROTHA
My 22 has a slight hum or maybe more like a whine! My 07 gen 2 had the same thing. Not a big deal though & if they weren't so quiet I bet you wouldn't notice it
Moving production to mexico, ditching the v8, and raising prices was probably the dumbest move by toyota.
Ohhh boy, i just leased a 2024 tundra limited, it only has 120miles on it. I hope it does good for the next 3 years.
I loss 10k for my 2024 tundra limited , when I traded it cuz keep getting issues on it
I thought the problems were worked out with the 2024's
So did I...
As an early adopter of the 3rd gen Tacoma, and now the 3rd gen tundra, its really clear that the first 3 to even 4 years of the new gens are almost a beta test. It always seems like people report these issues very early on and it takes a Toyota a long time to address them. Both my 2017 Taco, and 2023 Tundra seem to be good both platforms I've had little issues but a bunch of annoying things that seem to get fixed later. I think I'm done with buying the first 3 years and waiting for the mid cycles if sticking with Toyota. Your experiences seems to be consistent with others, not all of them are bad, but the trucks that are bad are REALLY bad. My 2023 Platinum interior and windows are pretty solid but you shouldn't have to fork out tons of extra money for a properly assembled interior.
I have 200k miles on our 5.7l Sequoia. Sucks to see all these refreshed Toyotas having all these failures. Makes me wonder how the Toyota engineers dropped the ball this hard especially since Toyota has had the best reputation for reliability.
Might want to get the 2nd gen. I love my 2020. I added the Toyota transmission cooler back on, which was very easy to do. But yeah, it's a great truck. Funny thing is, I had mine regeared and I still don't have a whine. Usually, they will, but I guess I got lucky. Also, just be glad your main bearings haven't gone out yet.
I hold my breath every time I start the truck. Haha. It really does feel like driving a ticking time bomb at this point.
@ZetaDogProductions Yeah, it sucks. The new CEO of Toyota is destroying the brand name and reputation for reliability. Such a shame. And I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for Toyota to make it right. I would try to use the lemon law and get the hell out of that thing.
Humming is a common problem with Toyota trucks and the culprit is the Hino rear axle. For some reason they're just prone to being noisy. Replacing it more than likely isn't going to help. I wish they would just contract with Dana instead. Never had any issues with those.
Well, they found metal shavings in the diff oil the first time, and after their discussion with Toyota corporate, they replaced the diff. So, independent of the diffs potentially being characteristically noisy, they're also defective.
Give it the boot and move on. I did with my subpar Toyota experience and constant issues with a 2019 Tacoma. It wasn’t worth keeping it around and being stressed over a vehicle. Haven’t looked back.
I have had drive lines do that. Tacoma and Tundra. 2024.
Damn, that's just some bad luck. I'm at 46k on my 22. Don't blame you that you don't want it, but I would try the lemon law.
Best of luck.
Thanks!
Lemon law is simple. It’s not a pain.
Your problem is the driveshaft, however
I had the same humming sound (among other issues) in my 24’ Limited TRD OR w/ 3000 miles. It sold it. Driving a 24’ GMC AT4X w/ 3.0 L DuraMax. WTF Toyota?!? I have a 95’ 4Runner, 11’ LX570 and 13 RX350. I’ve Owned 11 Toyota Trucks and SUVs and the newer ones are no bueno!
You get that Mexico is not known for its quality assurance right? You have workers making pesos and that’s always been the case
Tundra is made in Texas...
@@ZetaDogProductions honestly thought they had already moved it.
Up here in Canada , I'm already seeing lots of these sitting on used car lots . that says a lot .
There's a lot of 22-23's for sale down here in Texas as well. I hope documenting my owner experience can help inform potential buyers. Thanks for watching!
@@ZetaDogProductions I love it man , keep putting out the videos showing how much of a failure these new toyota trucks are . Hope all of this makes it back to toyota corporate and we see some kind of change in the years coming
I would bet money that the drive shaft is out of balance. I have seen this on several different manufactures new vehicles over the years. Have them rebalance or replace the drive shaft. If that does not fix the issue, lemon law it or trade it and move on. Toyota seems to be having great difficulty producing a quality trouble free experience with the 3rd gen Tundra.
Thanks for the tip!
I would bail, tell them you want full reimbursement.
As a Toyota fanboy all these issues are very disturbing. Toyota is killing their reputation. I hope they get their sh_t together.
My 2021 4Runner had that hum, I changed the diff fluid out to redline oil and Archoil 9100 additive. It fixed my hum right up. I’m at 75k miles, no hum, no drone. My wife’s 2020 rear diff did NOT have the hum. Just my new 2021 4Runner.
The dealer is dipping you to collect warranty money. Nothing wrong with the truck. Dealer may have buggered drive shaft. Been there.
At about 3:03 you mentioned expected depreciation….. if Toyota did this right it wouldn’t be the case to the degree implied (not being confrontational btw, just explaining from my perspective). My $36,000 2018 4Runner TRD OR is nothing short of an investment with a silly amount of equity- I was offered $41,700 during an oil change @ Toyota with 77,000 miles on her. Toyota is simply dropping the ball and we must remain skeptical as the reliability reports and inflated prices are screaming to run from newer models. For the record I’ve owned 3 Toyota vehicles including Scion, Lexus, and my 4 Runner… I’m 42 years old for reference of ownership. Pretty easy to figure out why my “body count” of ownership is so low. I LOVE Toyota but man I don’t like them right now.
You hit on a lot of great points. Thanks for watching and posting!
@@ZetaDogProductions thank you homie ❤️ keep us all updated. I/ we hate that you’re going through all of this bc Toyota as a brand is known for reliability and doing right by its customers. There are a ton of reviews that are padding these newer vehicles all while we’re beyond the 1st year production “glitches.” Kinda BS considering the price in my opinion. Again- I thank you sincerely for your transparency 🙌🏻
@@ZetaDogProductions for the algorithm- thank YOU for your reply ❤️
Probably covered under lemon laws?
If you want out of it don’t go out of your way to solve it. That’s the dealers problem and Toyotas. Document so you can meet lemon laws in your state.
I wonder where Texas Motor Manufacturing ranks among Toyota's North American factories.
2023 Toyota 4 runner here……. I don’t have these issues. Sad for your problems with your Toyota
My 2023 Tacoma does the same thing.
I have a 2018 tundra crewmax and wouldn’t even consider trading up to the new Tundra
I have seen so many videos concerning the major problems with the 3rd gen tundra, that I thank the Good Lord above almost every day that I didn't wait and got a 2021 Tundra V8 while I was still able to in 2021. 62829 miles as of today and not a darn thing has happened other than grins from that TRD dual Exhaust.
Hi, You need to get rid of it now before is too late just imagine how many problems is going to have ones it gets 100,000 miles, if gets close to that mileage with a major problem i’m just saying
Bro it's literally textbook lemon law buyback
What ??? That hum is the carrier bearings on the driveshaft, how does Toyota not know that lol. If this truck was lifted by any means, let the know. Lifting any type of truck whether it is Ford, Toyota, Chevy or Dodge... It will change the angle of your carrier bearings and create a little hum.
Is it a one piece driveshaft?
It appears so.
My F150 was unfortunately the same
I almost traded in my 21 Im glad I didn’t now….
Toyota has had problems many times before. Let’s quit acting like this is so unreal for them. From 1997-2006 the v6 engine had a sludge problem, Toyota was sued in a class action law suit for that and had to pay big time. Then there’s the rusting frames on all Toyota truck sequoia, Tacoma, tundra. Then there’s the engine issues on the 4 cylinder engine from 2004 to 2014. Now they’re having engine issues with the 4 cylinder engine burning oil badly since 2012, and also this new turbo v6 rod bearing issues and turbo problems. If it were Nissan all the car reviewers would say the CVT is trash, but for Toyota they claim they are impeccable in reliability. How does Toyota always escape scrutiny? It’s getting old! By the way I bought my Nissan Xterra v6 2001 23 years ago, I still drive it, it has started every day reliably I’ve put 453,387 miles on it. Runs good. All original powertrain and power windows cruise control all still works never replaced.
customer of mine bought a 29024 tundra 3, 600 miles after blew up the engine.... Lemon lemon overprice lemons, toyoya had dropped the ball
Toyota is really letting people down.
That sucks for a 2024.
Un Fing real!! Trade the turd in on a 2021 or older tundra.
I had a 2018 tacoma trd offroad 4x4. It was a turd. Electrical problems...reoccurring coil issue that would put truck in limp mode.
Radio and navigation worked intermittently. Cruise saw on 80% of vehicles ahead. A buzzards shadow could set it off. Multiple fuel pumps...1 recalled pump, then more after that. The dealershit was extremely unhelpfull and arrogant.
Nope. Never another toyota of any kind. Mazda has some association with totota. Don't think i will be buying from them either.
Mind boggling that Toyota quality has collapsed. When they were all from Japan they were bulletproof. The more cars and trucks that moved stateside the greater the number of problems. Been to Japan. The commitment to excellence is ingrained in the business culture. They are now producing close to 1 million vehicles per year in the US but almost 3 million per year in Japan. Wonder which ones have issues?
Nobody wanted to pay the 25% tax tariffs and get a t100. That's why they are made in North America now
Lemon law… tell Toyota buy it back
They certainly have...now referred to Turdoya corporation..sad to say..
Old Toyotas are superior. New Toyotas are over priced garbage. Toyota even has one of their engineers on TH-cam explaining how great their turbo engines are🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
V6 Tundra? Are you stranded? Need a tow? Let me know, I got a V8 SR5 TSS Offroad. I can deliver you a new engine maybe?
Older truck are much better, my 2023 Colorado would constantly have small issue. I haven taken my truck to the dealership 2X within 4k mi.
Lemon Law
You don’t test drive before buy ? I think is better buy used old design than look fancy and complain.
Of course I test drove it. No mechanical issues for the first 2,500k miles or so.
Had the same humming on a subaru and culprit was e ball bearing. Gone after replacement
