I ended up getting a later in the year 2022 SR5. I dont feel like mine has as many fit & finish issues as others post about but maybe they tightened things up. I had a 2019 Silverado RST before it and I can definitely understand the quality of materials gripes and stuff. However, I had a 2016 Tundra SR5 before that Silverado and the bottomline is, I had to go back to Toyota! I missed the layout and Toyota feel. They just fit me ergonomically and like mentally how they lay things out. Don't know what youre going to but the SIlverado 2500s are EXCELLENT truck trucks that feel and are built the way maybe what truck guys are looking for. Even gas they have a ton of power ton of payload and they just feel like a truck should feel... so will be curious to see what you went to.
I purchased a 22 1794 Edition w/ 6.5’ bed in June of 22. The production date was May 2022. I have a couple of QC issues involving wind noise from the RR door and an occasionally noisy driver's door gasket that sounds like tape being pulled off a smooth surface. In both cases, if you push a couple of fingers into the gasket the noise stops so it's definitely a gasket fitment issue. I had the dealer investigate at the 10K service. Told them if it's still there at the 15K they will have to replace those gaskets. No other QC issues. Been on some long trips with it. Very good ride and comfortable leather seats. Got 22 mpg with 4 people and 800 lbs of gear in the bed over elevations of about 2500 feet. Back home in mixed traffic, it gets between 18 and 19.5 mpg.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing as I’m sure others have issues with it too. I had some of those gasket issues as well, not sure why they can’t get that right. Never had some of these issues with my older Toyotas.
Toyota really sucked on this … 16 years to produce something great, I will be purchasing a 2021 for all the reasons u stated… 2007-2021 seems like the truck to have
same issues here but also have the squeaking seat, fuel gauge level moves even though they did the tsb it didnt fix it. 60k for a truck shouldnt have these little issues
Sad to see such a quality brand name slip away. I owned 3 previous Tundras that were bullet proof. I am so glad I passed on this new model. Toyota needs to build the Tundra in Japan not the US. And bring the V8 back.
I think the craziest thing about these new trucks - the feedback has been the same from Toyota people! I have heard many Toyota fans say buy the old gen. Crazy
Bro, it's amazing. I have a 2019 with 104,000 mi on it and the fact that nothing rattles still is insane and I've done some serious off-roading with it. I tow 10,000 lb with it all the f****** time. I drive over 100 mph all the time with it not one issue
Not surprised that people are complaining that new Toyotas are the end of Toyota’s legendary reliability. When you build cars in America instead of Japan, you have things like this.
I bought a Mexican made Tacoma against my better judgment and it was the biggest peice of shit I've ever owned. I had more issues with it in the first year than I did in 4 years with my ecoboost F-150, which itself is not exactly the pinnacle of reliability.
This is bs, they still have to meet their quality std. When they built the supra, the bmw engineers were mad about how many parts they had to reengineer for Toyota compliance
Ii bought a 22 GX for the same price as your Tundra. Love it, Never going to sell. I have an older Tundra, never going to sell it. I have two 4runners I'm never selling those either. Nothing on the current market interests me in the slightest. Would not buy a full size truck without a NA V8.
All I care about is that it’s mechanically sound and will not break down on me or cost me an arm and a leg for maintenance. These little annoying issues I. Can deal with . yes it should be better for 60 K . But what’s out there in comparison with ford, Gmail ram . Serious issues out there . Keeping my fingers crossed .
My Limited 2022 OR- NH/ was made in August- and besides the fuel line recall- the truck has ran perfect- no turbo lag - although I have found that warming up the oil makes a difference in optimal engine performance- minor wind noise at high rates of speed but nothing annoying- and nothing that I haven’t heard in other trucks costing similar $$$- the passenger seat was cracked at 16K ( but I bought the truck that way) and was replaced. It’s true- I had a TUNDRA 2007 - and the build on this 2022 is 2nd rate to the 2007- but all vehicles are running this way now. They don’t build them they way they used to:) also on the cracked seat… the problem is that people - even with running boards- still tend to SLIDE down the seat- this practice will break these cheap plastic seats for sure. I baby my truck and all my family gets a tutorial on how they are to vacate the truck using the running boards as they are meant to be used:)
Yeah I get it, still a good truck just get a newer year in my opinion. Also, I have a few fords and really like them, they drive so nice for a truck. Might be worth test driving as they offer V8 still.
275/70R18 with 18mm offset. I have the wheels and (basically new) tires for sale in southern Idaho if you’re interested. $1,999 is what I’m looking for. They are the ones in the videos.
Toyota has never been about fit and finish, interior quality, etc.. Its always been about mechanical components that are typically over built / not taking risks that last forever.
Very plasticy, lots of rattles...jeep gladiator owner and i can relate. I drove a new 2023 chevy at the time before buying my glatiator. same cheap feeling built quality as well, creeky plastic etc. But non the less for what these new tundras (sr5) go for 10-15k less than a jeep and chevy, your getting quite the bang for the buck. Keyless entry, good powertrain,lockers,driver assist features.
Seven minutes and 20 seconds into your video you mention it’s a little messy and you’re gonna clean it up before you get rid of it. Did you not think of cleaning it up before you made this video or you’re not kind of doing things backwards thanks for your post.
Ended up trading the truck in so no need to clean it. Even asked my sales guy and he said they charge either way so it didn't matter. Was waiting on confirmation of price so just wanted to make a quick video. Thanks for watching!
The 2024 Tundras are better, Chevy stopped production of the 24 Silverado 1500 because the roof panels are splitting. The hemi engine has issues that have never been addressed. What is a good truck now?
I dunno if it was the masks depriving people of breathing and oxygen to the brain, but these look like they were assembled by 9th grade shop class… qc is horrible on tundras

Bummer.
It was difficult, but I'm glad I waited for my 2023. My tundra is amazing.

That’s never gonna happen due to the chicken tax still being in place.
Never going to happen because emissions.
Plus I think there’s a law saying that cars need to average about 30 mpg by 2028 or something.
Yes, I agree they need to build the tundra in Japan
Its the first year of the new tundra they have already figured out all issues and there running fine now neverybuy a first year new model
I think the craziest thing about these new trucks - the feedback has been the same from Toyota people! I have heard many Toyota fans say buy the old gen. Crazy
I have a 2021 tundra, 25,000+ miles on it and after you showing me loose parts on it . i’ll keep the one I have definitely not upgraded it.
Bro, it's amazing. I have a 2019 with 104,000 mi on it and the fact that nothing rattles still is insane and I've done some serious off-roading with it. I tow 10,000 lb with it all the f****** time. I drive over 100 mph all the time with it not one issue
first year of a truck made during covid. Ram HD s were having similiar issues
SO better to get low mileage 2021 Tundra?
Designed and built in america. Hardly japanese besides the drivetrain. The quality is on par with american trucks
American workers do not take pride in their work compared to the Japanese. That's a Fact...
Not surprised that people are complaining that new Toyotas are the end of Toyota’s legendary reliability.

We're literally a decaying shithole
This is bs, they still have to meet their quality std. When they built the supra, the bmw engineers were mad about how many parts they had to reengineer for Toyota compliance
Toyota makes a truck Ford built 10 years ago and Toyota guys can't get enough of it 🤔
Get an 8 foot bed
Don’t understand the short ones that can’t haul wood without sticking out
They don’t look as nice and are meant more for work I say

The newer models have the same quality unfortunately. Just bought a 2023 and have all the same issues.
That’s a major bummer to hear. We spend too much money to have these issues!
I’m a Toyota guy but now I’m not considering buying it since it when too a V6 turbo. I’ll just buy an Dodge Ram 5.3 Hemi, 2017 Quab Big Horn 4x4.
Yeah I get it, still a good truck just get a newer year in my opinion. Also, I have a few fords and really like them, they drive so nice for a truck. Might be worth test driving as they offer V8 still.
can I see the pic with the tires put off?
Specs on the KO2 tires please. Looking into upgrading my SR5 off-road 23 Tundra wheels.
275/70R18 with 18mm offset. I have the wheels and (basically new) tires for sale in southern Idaho if you’re interested. $1,999 is what I’m looking for. They are the ones in the videos.
I like it but I am in CA. Thanks for the offer.
What happened with the bumper and tailgate. Did you back into something?
I mean yeah the fck who cares
Quality is that of a preproduction vehicle.
The quality in this truck is in the frame, pity the rest let it down.
Toyota has never been about fit and finish, interior quality, etc.. Its always been about mechanical components that are typically over built / not taking risks that last forever.
Very plasticy, lots of rattles...jeep gladiator owner and i can relate.

Keyless entry, good powertrain,lockers,driver assist features.
The first batch is the worst.

Nice work boots. I’m looking for a pair. What brand are they?
Thanks. They are red wing boots
What was your payload capacity on this truck?
Ohhh shoot, it was decent. If I remember correctly around 1300-1600 pounds.
You put almost 30k miles within 1 year ?
Correct. A lot of towing, road trips and commuting!
Whats the mpg
Did you jump it or something?
Lol, no. Wasn’t that rough on it actually. Just quality issues here and there.
The entire truck appears to be made of chewing gum and bailing twine. Inexcusable, but the Toyota bros will still buy them like lemmings.
Really sad that Toyota quality is a thing of the past... these new tundras are piles of shit. Bet you are glad to get rid of it.
Completely agree
They had 16 years pretty much to nail it and it looks like it was designed on a Friday afternoon and assembled on a Monday morning
This is what happens when you don’t build in Japan.
The 2024 Tundras are better, Chevy stopped production of the 24 Silverado 1500 because the roof panels are splitting. The hemi engine has issues that have never been addressed. What is a good truck now?
Trash after 20k miles. a lot of noise even the dealer can't fix it.
"PromoSM" 😠
It's made in Mexico!!!!
WRONG.
In a Texas
New trucks are thrown together overpriced garbage!
I dunno if it was the masks depriving people of breathing and oxygen to the brain, but these look like they were assembled by 9th grade shop class… qc is horrible on tundras
