Toyota excluded the hybrid I force Max engine and also the 2024 model year in it's recall, but if you go on tundra forums, there's an ongoing thread with examples of customers with the hybrid and/or 2024 trucks having the same issue as called out in the recall.
Only reason hybrid isn't included is because this is a safety recall. The hybrid motor can pull you off the road if engine grenades. It's the same engine. Expect a hybrid recall to come later.
Personally, I owned a 22 Tundra and now a 23 F-150 Powerboost and I prefer the ride in the Ford better. The Tundra was fine but too jittery for me. I prefer the floaty leaf springs. Just my preference. I also get an overage 5 MPG better. It isn't even close.
I doubt it was debris, it affected Toyotas made in Japan and USA … it’s more likely a design issue and will only be remedied by a redesign, as replaced engines have also failed

They’ll cover it up with some clever marketing and the fanboys will fall for it like they always do. Worked for the unintended Prius acceleration, camshaft failures on Lexus IS models, 3 decades of frames rusting, and the list goes on and on. Fanboys drink up that kool-aid 😂
Debris I could buy for a short range of one production run. Three full model years, that's a serious design defect in materials and stresses. Particular to this engine being a global platform, reusing the parts bin for cars and slapping them relatively untested into an uprated truck engine has never worked. The bottom end is downright fragile as designed; the debris excuse was the first, least damaging (pun?) PR verbiage that will satisfy a basic look on the recall. Without redesigning the bearings, crank girdle and upgrading, this engine will continue to fail even after being rebuilt when it's put under stress. That's also assuming people realise that a turbocharged engine needs more maintenance than the standard 5,000 mile interval for oil changes. The 10k mile interval is the most atrocious label ever conceived by the industry to making a dependable $50k+ vehicle ever have a hope at lasting past the warranty. This is just the latest issue for this truck; let's not forget the wastegates, transmission, body gaps, premature fitment causing rust, window seals... Toyota dropped the ball off a cliff on this truck, which hurts to say as an OG Tundra owner. It was rushed to market to satisfy the feds, plain and simple.
8:06 I could be mistaken for the latest model year but I believe Tundra caps out at 400w bed inverter even on the hybrid. Yet another lesson that was applied to Tacoma after the fact to give that hybrid a better 2400w supply.
You're correct. I was mistaken for the Tacoma. But you're definitely right, Toyota clearly heard the feedback and corrected it for the Tacoma. I edited the video to remove that bit.
This new truck is an unmitigated disaster. Ironically, tow hooks would have been prudent. They only had 15 years to R&D this beast. I’m gonna die in my 2014 5.7L Platinum.
The brakes have to be able to stop a 11k lb trailer with bad brakes, so 1.4k of payload isn’t going to be a challenge. The big question is what the weakest link is; it may not be the suspension, but something you can’t feel until it’s too late like the wheel\axle bearings (thus why HD trucks use semi or full floating axles).
@@JIPlatiumToyota has over 3 decades of frames rusting on every single body on frame model they’ve ever made, with multiple class action lawsuits to boot. Only Toyota has that consistency 😂
@@mvcharisma smarty, just Google search a bit and guess what, Ford and GMC/Chevy have that problem too. Now I'm sure you are super smart...

I know the exchange rate between the Canadian and US dollars is not 1:1, but the price in Canada is $12,508 higher than the US for that Tundra? Is everything priced higher in Canada? Seriously, if I lived there, I would be lobbying to apply for USA statehood to get more reasonable prices. Chuck Trudeau out the door.
I agree Trudeau must go. Unfortunately when we get our trucks up here we basically have to get them loaded. On $60,000 the exchange works out to almost $24,000. Also in the past our average annual salary was higher.
What makes you say that? The engine dates back to 2017 in the LS. That’s not to downplay the huge screwup that Toyota made with this assembly which went on for far too long but I really don’t think there is any concrete information that it’s a design issue. As mentioned in my other comment, most of these engines are built in Alabama, even for the LX and GX which are made in Japan.
It's a lot of anecdotal evidence from Toyota techs who don't think Toyotas story aligns with the damage they are seeing in the engines, as it's almost always an issue with the forward crankshaft bearing. Specifically a heat rejection issue with the monocoque bearing cap assembly causing differential expansion between the block and bearing cap. If it was debris, one would expect at least some of the other crankshaft bearings to be effected, not one particular one. The V35A in the LS is the same engine family, but not 100% the same engine. The "truck" engines are tuned to make more power lower in the rev range, and have additional cooling to accommodate that and towing.
Looks to me like you need the 360 view camera system in order to do this. I believe if you just have the rear view camera you unfortunately can’t do this.
Heard about a guy who has one of these; let his son drive it. Son connects his phone to the infotainment and later on the guy gets notified that his son was not on the insurance policy for the truck and needs to be added. Guy ignores this as it was a one-time thing letting his kid borrow the truck and later on his insurance cancels his policy. This is paraphrasing from the story I heard and I may be missing some details but yeah, I will likely never own a newer car because of shit like this. Oh and failed rod bearings. TL;DR - Toyota sells your data to insurance companies which may result in headaches for you down the line.
They are legally obligated to have the option to not sell your data in the infotainment but it's hidden and on by default. What's crazy is that the data is linked. How do they know that the vehicle is registered to you? That's crazy.
Yeah no lol. that is not a real thing. I have a 23 corolla and though it has crazy tech and almost drives itself and will stop your car and turn the hazards on if you fall ill it will not contact your insurance if someone else drives your car. Toyota would never allow that. They want you to put miles on so you can buy another as quickly as possible
The truck fell short in so many areas, piped in v8 noise, panel gaps, turning radius, MPGs not as advertised, CHEESEY camo everywhere….. now the engines are blowing up that cost $30k out of warranty… are people really that dumb?
I will never understand why Toyota is letting vehicles be built anywhere else other than Japan. ESPECIALLY the US. Look what we did to the big 3 automakers, American cars and trucks are straight trash.
The reason they built in America is because they don’t pay the same import taxes. Both Honda, Mazda, and Toyota, have been in the United States manufacturing since the 1980s because of this. The other problem is Japan’s population has decrease so dramatically that there are talks of Toyota completely moving out of Japan and coming to the United States within the next decade. Honda has also had that conversation apparently. At this point the Toyota tundra is a more American made truck than any other vehicle on the road. I remember it’s over 70% of the parts are made in America which is 2% more than any other truck.
The air dam is 🐮💩! The tow hooks are by far a priority. Just put a fixed air dam with holes on it for tow hooks. If you don’t like the air dam the; there’s the option to remove it. It’s a case of unnecessary excessive engineering! The night shade looks really nice! Get rid of that moon roof and you gain at least an extra 100# of payload. At full throttle acceleration whether in plus or regular tow haul you’re going right to the redline. 0.2 seconds is within the margin of error. The tow haul plus mode holds the lower gear longer in normal driving situations.
So the hybrid is not recalled because Toyota says if the gas engine does fail the hybrid engine can drive you a little ways so it is not a safety issue. Give me a Break Toyota,
I'm a contractor and I lease trucks. I've had 4 gen2 Tundras, including a 21 DC Ltd. I had a tough decision to make, finally deciding upon a 24 Tundra CM, Sport premium ( I ~might~ be outta the woods on the crank bearing issues). Having looked at everything including midsize, and getting a great deal on this Tundra, I said F' it. I've learned to trust Toyota, and not to trust the big3. This is still brand new, but I'm shocked at the high quality. I know I could end up eating my words, but I suspect not. When the smoke clears on this whole debacle, Tundra resale values will return to the top. Most haters would never buy one of these even if they were perfect.
Also, I know it's wrong to reference other YT channels, but the one who knows the most about this whole issue (he's kind of a car care nut), just purchased a new Tundra for himself!
@@sharkskin3448Yeah, but if his engine blows, he'll just make a video and excuses. Always puts down other manufactures. A little conceited 🤔 PS l buy used, my brand loyalty is money, not resale value

I'm a huge Toyota and Lexus guy but you guys seem to simp for Toyota. Also the hybrids aren't covered because they can limp to a safe spot. Pathetic. I'll never sell our 2 Lexus V8s and 5.7L V8. Everyone knew this was a mistake moving from V8 but here we are.

Son connects his phone to the infotainment and later on the guy gets notified that his son was not on the insurance policy for the truck and needs to be added. Guy ignores this as it was a one-time thing letting his kid borrow the truck and later on his insurance cancels his policy. This is paraphrasing from the story I heard and I may be missing some details but yeah, I will likely never own a newer car because of shit like this. Oh and failed rod bearings.
TL;DR - Toyota sells your data to insurance companies which may result in headaches for you down the line.
Sounds like a typical internet fairytale.
They are legally obligated to have the option to not sell your data in the infotainment but it's hidden and on by default. What's crazy is that the data is linked. How do they know that the vehicle is registered to you? That's crazy.
GM does the same thing
Yeah no lol. that is not a real thing. I have a 23 corolla and though it has crazy tech and almost drives itself and will stop your car and turn the hazards on if you fall ill it will not contact your insurance if someone else drives your car. Toyota would never allow that. They want you to put miles on so you can buy another as quickly as possible
The truck fell short in so many areas, piped in v8 noise, panel gaps, turning radius, MPGs not as advertised, CHEESEY camo everywhere….. now the engines are blowing up that cost $30k out of warranty… are people really that dumb?
For the record, painted steel or aluminum beds are also extremely slippery, so it never made sense as to why it is mentioned. 🙄
I will never understand why Toyota is letting vehicles be built anywhere else other than Japan. ESPECIALLY the US. Look what we did to the big 3 automakers, American cars and trucks are straight trash.
It’s called a chicken tax… if you don’t understand, google it.
The reason they built in America is because they don’t pay the same import taxes. Both Honda, Mazda, and Toyota, have been in the United States manufacturing since the 1980s because of this.
The other problem is Japan’s population has decrease so dramatically that there are talks of Toyota completely moving out of Japan and coming to the United States within the next decade. Honda has also had that conversation apparently.
At this point the Toyota tundra is a more American made truck than any other vehicle on the road. I remember it’s over 70% of the parts are made in America which is 2% more than any other truck.
Does this guy know the truck cannot even be traded in right now.
Is it 3.4 or 3.5?
3.445 litre...
So, depending on significant figures, 3.45 or 3.4.
The air dam is 🐮💩! The tow hooks are by far a priority. Just put a fixed air dam with holes on it for tow hooks. If you don’t like the air dam the; there’s the option to remove it. It’s a case of unnecessary excessive engineering! The night shade looks really nice! Get rid of that moon roof and you gain at least an extra 100# of payload. At full throttle acceleration whether in plus or regular tow haul you’re going right to the redline. 0.2 seconds is within the margin of error. The tow haul plus mode holds the lower gear longer in normal driving situations.
So the hybrid is not recalled because Toyota says if the gas engine does fail the hybrid engine can drive you a little ways so it is not a safety issue. Give me a Break Toyota,
I'm a contractor and I lease trucks. I've had 4 gen2 Tundras, including a 21 DC Ltd. I had a tough decision to make, finally deciding upon a 24 Tundra CM, Sport premium ( I ~might~ be outta the woods on the crank bearing issues). Having looked at everything including midsize, and getting a great deal on this Tundra, I said F' it. I've learned to trust Toyota, and not to trust the big3. This is still brand new, but I'm shocked at the high quality. I know I could end up eating my words, but I suspect not. When the smoke clears on this whole debacle, Tundra resale values will return to the top. Most haters would never buy one of these even if they were perfect.
Also, I know it's wrong to reference other YT channels, but the one who knows the most about this whole issue (he's kind of a car care nut), just purchased a new Tundra for himself!
@@sharkskin3448Yeah, but if his engine blows, he'll just make a video and excuses. Always puts down other manufactures. A little conceited 🤔 PS l buy used, my brand loyalty is money, not resale value
I mean there are tons of QC issues with his American truck with American build
@@TH-camuser1aa That's why good mechanics buy used. $50,000 for a personal vehicle, then when it breaks down, your lucky if they give you a loaner. Time for a new financial advisor
Again, a review when you know its overloaded, strange business model. In the US there are lawyers that would feast on your channel.
Hope it doesn’t spin a crank bearing!!! 😂😂😂
GMC/Chevy 6.2 diesel from 2019-2025 has the same issue. Sure different causes, but same issue.
1164 pounds of rubber mats, 1300 payload, according to dad math you’re 200 pounds over. I think your Dad’s math is off or all you guys are 3 feet tall haha. You guys gotta be at least 500 pounds over.
3.4L Twin Turbo V6
3.445 to be specific.
I’d stick with the 5.7
all this and the engine hasnt blown up....yet
nightshade vegetables? why is toyota coming up with goofy names like iforce max? or crown signia? how lame
No one is buying those genades
Timing of video is a little unfortunate
*3.4L
I'm a huge Toyota and Lexus guy but you guys seem to simp for Toyota. Also the hybrids aren't covered because they can limp to a safe spot. Pathetic. I'll never sell our 2 Lexus V8s and 5.7L V8. Everyone knew this was a mistake moving from V8 but here we are.
I’m a Toyota fan boy but these new tundras are butt ugly
New Tundras and Tacomas have cheap materials to go along with bad engines. Doesn’t seem like a good business strategy.
They are, don't buy
No way in hell!!..would buy one of these POS...after seeing all the quality issues and engine/transmission failures...now people are having rear-ends and alternators going out! and the fake chrome plastic bumpers with no tow hooks and fake engine sounds pumping in to the cabin is ridiculous!!.. it's a 💩truck!
A lot of half tons can't carry as much as my Ranger. Ranger is rated at 1560 lbs. Unacceptable!!
Crewmax cabins eat up all the payload numbers, single cab trucks is where the payloads numbers are
They really made a cheap truck for a excessive amount of money im not ok with how Toyota is doing there business these days you would be better off with a ford .
Manufacturers are still making these blacked-out trims? They were played-out 6-7 years ago...
But chrome was played out 30 years ago.
Trash
Un collègue a payer 70 000$ pour un tundra neuf, meme pas 30 000km de fait...moteur sauter !!! Dommage toyota étais fiable il y a quelques années 😢
Pos.
It’s rather unfortunate Toyota Tundras are now just as shitty as F150s, Silverado’s, and Rams
Facts
It sucks but now everyone should just buy one of those nicer interior and looks plus more features and payload
@@agentcarder I'm going 3/4 without cylinder deactivation.
You’re out of your mind. Ford, Chev and Ram have always been head and shoulders better than the Tundra. Just accept the fact thag the Tundra is a POS.
