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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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!
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.
My wife and I got 2022 Toyota 4Runner brand new. We have also 2018 Rav4, no issues with either one. 4Runner is solid, fine SUV. We got TRD off road Premium model. Sorry to hear about your troubles, but at least Toyota did you right after all. Take care, and good luck with the next one.
Where Toyotas are manufactured makes a huge difference. The vehicles made in Japan are almost completely trouble free. Can't say the same about others made in North America.
@@George-on3zm a sold suv, safe, a capable one in many ways. It is also an easy to work on. Has proven quality and reliability. I am not sure is there a vehicle in its class better than this one.
Well said. I own four Toyota products the newest being a 2017 4Runner. I wouldn’t own one of these new Tundras after what has happened to the design and engine failures. Your video confirmed my suspicions that Toyota is beginning to fail at meeting the high bar of reliability they’ve been know for. The have to listen to the loyal customers and understand what they want. This truck is basically being built to meet government regulations for a global mass production platform. Vote with your dollars people.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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'm sorry for all of your problems. I have a '24 Platinum and it is fantastic! I have not had a single problem that you've mentioned and I am one super picky customer. I hope you get a great new vehicle.
I went from a 2015 tundra which I loved to a 22 Ford f150 lariat powerboost. So far best truck I’ve owned no real headaches or glitches but it’s a new truck to me.
Hell, they will put 4 turbos on them before ever doing a V8 again. they have made a huge blunder. Same as On Dec 7 1941. I bought a new Corolla Cross in 2023. It is OK too many gee wiss things. I never turn them on.
Go woke go broke. Toyota bought into this go green b.s. and in turn lost quality control to jump on this go green crap. Bring back the V8. Give the people what they want.
Toyota didn't buy in, they are being forced through government regulations and it's only going to get worse. Are you aware of the bill that passed last week mandating 7 out of 10 new vehicles be zero emissions starting in 2027? The EPA is literally ruining the auto industry and manufacturers are getting the blame.
@@redtitan29 , I agree! The government has been messing up cars since 1968 when the first smog pump was installed. We used to shit can those things, and no big deal, back then. New vehicles have a lot of power! I will say that! These new rigs should be really dependable at the price we are paying. I really dislike EV's. I'm glad they are piling up on the lots! POS!
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.
That is a lifestyle SUV with a bed on it that is not a real truck. Thank you for finally being honest Toyota really does have a lot of issues you can go back 15 years with all their oil consumption issues and so on and so forth. I agree if you’re paying a premium, you should get a premium product Not be misled.
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.
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.
I purchased a 1995 Toyota T100 SR5 pickup truck almost 30 years ago. I still own it. I wish I could post a photo here because it’s in that good of shape. I bought the truck very slightly used $18,000. The exterior is still in like new condition. It still has the original engine, transmission, A/C equipment, alternator and has one set of brakes (pads only) with 175k miles. runs perfectly. $165 per year lic fees, $700 insurance, and fuel. This is the precursor to the Tundra and the Toyota quality is there. Many of these trucks are still on the road and still being used for work vehicles. I wouldn’t hesitate to drive mine across the US tomorrow. It’s never failed me! Why would anyone spend $70k +++ on a new truck and go through this crap…... ?
I’m happy with my ‘22 4x4 CrewMax SR5 TRD Sport. Almost 20k miles… Don’t have the problems mentioned except the infotainment screen asking for the passcode every so often. It’s annoying. It’s our go-to vehicle for family trips. Drove it to OR, WA, AZ, and NV so far (I’m from CA). Loving it! I’m probably one of many who lucked out on the first year of remodel. It seems like issues are often found on higher trim models.
@@cwservices3839 I'm up here in Redding, CA. So, I go with Lithia Toyota. No idea what oil they're using. I believe they're using whatever the user manual required. I'm usually chill to save gas. But I hit the limiter every now and then. I haven't towed anything yet, but that's about to change. Yes, I do warm it up when I can, especially in the winter. Otherwise, will just drive it easy until it gets warm.
I bought a 2024 Platinum 7 months ago and I haven't had any issues, this is my 3rd Tundra (2010,2015), and this is the best one I have driven. I intentionally waited, I considered the 2022, but I wanted to wait and let the bugs be worked out. BTW I'm located in San Antonio and visited the plant and did the Plant tour, which was really interesting. I currently have 6K on the truck and again no issues.
Congrats , you just made the wisest choice, get one the latest 4R 5th and will never go wrong with it. Toyota is betraying the philosophy which makes them the best motor company , simple is better , less is more , hope to return to that roots before become like Honda , an Asian Stellantis.
I’m glad Toyota took care of you. I bought a 21 4Runner new and I decided to upgrade to a 24 4Runner TRD Pro while I could. These are, sadly, the last of the Toyotas that made me a fan. Enjoy you new 4 Runner and run it 300,000 miles. That’s going to be my plan! 😂
I went with a 23 Tacoma off road 4x4. No way I’d trust any boosted motor from them. 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder turbo engines will never have the longevity of the na motors.
I’ve loved Toyota trucks since I started driving back in the 1990’s, but they’ve definitely gone downhill over the years. The interior plastics in my 2020 Tacoma will scratch if you look at them too hard.
I've had a 21 and now a 22 Tundra. The new one is great, don't have any issues or quality control issues with it. Mine drives fine. Too bad you've had a bad experience with it.
I bought a 23 Tacoma, basically because I didn’t want a turbo. Happy to say I love my Tacoma and super pleased with it. Hope Toyota can get back to being a reliable bullet proof product.
Get rid of the screens and computers that run everything. Use solenoids and regular electrical switches. I know how to turn an air conditioner dial to get the temperature just right in a car. Bring back radios with dials and actual buttons. I don't want GPS tracking and maps in my dash. I don't need or want Blutooth. I WANT A MANUAL TRANSMISSION! Put the fuel pumps by the engine and out of the tanks. I HATE KEY FOBS!!!!!! I want real keys AND keyed locks ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TOO! NO MORE KEYLESS IGNITION! Keys with chips were the best anti-theft devices.
First time Toyota owner here with the 2024 Tundra I-Force Max having just turned 5,000 miles. The only problem I've seen occurred this week on a 600-mile drive when my wife plugged her iPhone into the console USB port to charge whereby I lost CarPlay until the next stop where I had to turn the truck off to re-cycle the electronics. That aside, I love this truck and would recommend it to others.
You did a great job on explaining things in this video. I'm not a Toyota owner, but I enjoyed the comprehensive review. I had a Silverado for 6 months and sold it. No problems really, but like you I thought I was playing rulette with an expensive truck! Sad for sure. The older Tundras are very sought after and command a big price.
They do command a big price😂$59600 for a ‘21 TRD Pro, lunar rock, w/ 30k miles on it, 3 owners no less. I walked away - that’s a lot of cash for a 4 year old truck, V8 or not😂
My 2022 limited trd has been treating me really good for 2 yrs, besides the recalls. No issues at all, just 10k mile. Perhaps you're one of those un lucky ones.
My father has a 2022 Tundra and myself a 2023. We both have had worry free ownership. There are definitely some cheap plastics inside. The exterior window trim seems to be cheaply made/installed as well.
ive got a 23 trd pro tundra and i dont have any issues. especially the tech, my screen works all the time, and i connect all the time no failure. about a cheap plastic, all vehicle manufacturer use cheap plastic nowadays, no turbo issues no transmission issues. my only complaint is that the could do better on wireless charger and tailgate,
Man I feel the same exact way you feel. I just can't figure out why they are letting quality slip, going turbo on everything. I was looking at 4runners myself, it's the last vehicle they make that is reliable at this point. I hope they turn it around, I have 3 toyotas in the garage so....I'm with ya.
Dad says pretty much the same about his Tacoma. Spent $50,000 CAD on the biggest package and he hates it. Coming from a 4Runner to this and he literally was calling me asking if the shifting issues and power delay / lack of was normal. Took it back to the dealership 3 times and they finally said it’s how it is. Really let down for him cuz it was the first time I’d seen him be able to afford something so pricey and be his dream vehicle but it’s been a let down.
Two years ago I would have disagreed. I had a little turbo Volvo s60 and I absolutely loved that car. Small single turbo on an inline 5 cylinder. It’s was excellent. Now I totally agree.
I wanted to get another truck after having FJ Cruiser since 2014. But once the new Tundra came out I quickly crossed it off my list as it just felt so cheap inside and hated all the plastic on the front end. Went with 2023 4Runner, new Tacoma wasn't out and the 2023 was just as bad as the FJ for front seat comfort, even with the power seat adjustments. Funny story I was at Toyota dealer last week to get part for my daily driver Yaris and saw a new Tundra parked in the service area that either got hit in the rear or it was backed into something. Only had slight damage that I could see, but it caught my attention because the 2 lights in the bumper were cracked. I am guess that is backup lights, or is it some type of offroad package lights. Just seemed like a terrible place to put lights as the bumper usually first thing to make contact.
Good information, I just bought a 2024 4 Runner. Traded my F 150 Powerboost…I’m currently getting 20+ mpgs 6 cylinder with a 5 speed. My worries have faded. Btw, I’m also a Toyota guy!
I have a 97 T100 with 400k. The design is based on years of trial and error. New design for bells and whistles and the government emission standards have taken Toyota down the Ford road.
That sucks Toyota quality is definitely not what it used to be!!! I have a 23 Tacoma TRD and the steering wheel was off when I picked it up which I fixed on my own! It wasn’t a huge big deal but still it’s a brand new truck and there shouldn’t have been any issues at all! I still love Toyotas but it’s a disappointment!
Take a look at the GX if any 23's are still available. They were 7k off a couple of months ago, much better value than the 4R. I really like mine better the my 5th gen 4R. Good video thanks.
I agree with everything you said, but you should of known not to get one the first year or a complete remodel. But I have definitely heard that about the quality being there especially when a limited platform runs you 60 plus K… best of luck with your 4runner. I agree about these smaller displacement engines. Hopefully Toyota can figure it out because I love their cars but now that everything meant for a family is 50k and up, it better be a DAMN good product. Not pay more for crappier products. 🙌🏽🙏🏽
I purchased a 2024 tundra almost 4 weeks ago and approaching 3k miles I feel the transmission doing what you said. It doesn’t know what gear it wants to be in. A lot of times it feels like it’s confused where to go during accelerations. 😬
NEVER..NEVER..NEVER Buy a first or second year production of anything Especially a whole new Engine design and transmission Basically a whole new designed vehicle.....always WAIT at least 3 or 4 yrs. That's when they usually get all the bugs and kinks worked out. people always wanna jump on the latest and greatest things And unfortunately some people pay the price for that. You're extremely lucky they're buying it back. The new Tacoma's are already having issues. And some recalls
2018 Platinum owner, and with my latest service at the stealership, the phone call from a salesman prior to the service visit asking me to sell it and trade up to a newer model sounded even more desperate than usual.
I've got a 24 and my biggest complaint is the transmission sometimes it's smooth and other times I'll be leaving a stop sign and it literally won't move so I give a tad more gas then it takes off.
Dear lord am I glad I have my 2019 4-Runner Limited, 2016 Tacoma Off Road (Not perfect but has been solid) and 2008 Lexus IS350 (This car has been perfect!)! I was tempted by the 2022 and up Tundra. Man am I glad I waited it out to see how the TNGA platform worked in the real world. It appears this new TNGA platform is going to have some real growing pains.
I have a Toyota tundra SR5 TRD off road 2022 and at 20K miles the entire engine had to be replaced so definitely not happen definitely doing the lemon law as well
Toyota is spiraling downwards. They don't deserve their reputation anymore. I currently own the last Toyota I will ever buy, a '21 Rav4 (non-hybrid of course).
@triggerhappyreviews, so sorry to hear about your issues. I purchased a ‘22 Tundra 1794 STD bed back in July 2022 (manufactured in May). I’ve had no major issues, now with 25,000 miles. The minor issues were wind noise from driver’s door gasket (fixed), crinkle noise at head liner passenger side (fixed), RR passenger wind noise (better - reported to Toyota engineering) - warranty extended. I agree about some of the plastics. I have towed some with an ~8,500 lb travel trailer and found it to be very competent with the right hitch setup. Running around gas mileage has been about as advertised, 17 to 18 mixed, 20 to 23 highway with 3 passengers and about 500 lbs of gear in the bed. I do agree about the front and back ends not being tough enough for the long term. At some point I may look for aftermarket bumpers but for now I will let them be.
This is about the same experience and gas milage in my 23 sequioa. I agree with the bumpers I am looking at an ARB bumper for the front of it if my wife will allow it
Good, I just got a 2024 SR5 loaded, I have a question on mine I don't have digital cluster so how you check the transmission temperature pulling a heavy travel trailer?
@@pecosb5221 I am not sure I didn't worry about the temp when towing because we have been well under the towing limit on it. If you find out let me know
@@pecosb5221 I just figured this out for myself. You can configure the right part of the instrument panel to show this. Right now by default it just shows the boost but it can also show the pitch/roll and there is a trailer setting too. You can configure this by uses the controls on the right side of the steering wheel to select the settings menu and then scroll down to "customize right side" hold down the ok button on that setting and it will let you change the setting.
Toyota owner since 1983. Non-Japanese built Toyotas absolutely DO NOT have the same build quality as Japan built vehicles. For the premium price paid,Toyota absolutely needs to DO BETTER.
This is exactly why I didn't buy a new Tundra. I have a 2008 Tundra with a 5.7L V8. Currently has 300,000 miles but I wanted a new truck. But since the new Tundras don't have a V8, I went with a 22 Tacoma instead. I know the V6 is a lot less powerful but it's tried and tested. I really wish Toyota would've offered the V8 at least in the most simple trim. I do like the design of the new Tundras but no V8 is an immediate pass.
If this happened to this truck, it is the possibility of the same issues happening to the other ones as well. Have to buy cars and trucks which are made in Japan only, to be sure on quality
I have an 08 Tundra. I'll be buying a new truck towards the end of the year, and it won't be a Tundra! It won't even be a half ton. All of the half tons now are nothing but toys! Small engines, coil spring rear suspensions??🙄 They can keep the toys, I'll be looking at F250's.
I’m going to keep my 2016 Tundra Limited until the wheels fall off. I owned my 2005 Tundra limited Double cab having zero issues with it. I also own a 2015 Venza with a V6 which Toyota has ruined for me. Anyhow I went into dealership to get an oil change and while waiting for service my salesman touched base into maybe trading for a New Tundra Limited Crewmax. This was my most expensive oil change ever😅 My grandchildren have grown up and more space was needed. I love my 2016 but can’t see trading for troubles owning a New Tundra with problems I’ve never experienced owning a Toyota before. I would love to trade up,but I have been spoiled with my current purchases. 🤔
I hope they put it in the compactor! Goodbye. My worst Toyota was my second one back in 1972. I dumped it in 6 months. What a pile of junk it was. My 1970 was super/ still love that vehicle. Wish I had of kept it.
Im betting its part supplier issues. They invented kazien manufacturing so Im not suprised the acknowledge problems. They have to get back to their roots and listen to their production line people. They know best where to find the root of problems. Its up to management to set them up to win.
Sorry you had such a bad experience, and you are right…Toyota has not been the same for a long time. A far cry from their glory days. I used to be a die-hard Toyota guy but about 2003-2004, I started noticing quality was going down, it was no where near what it used to be. I still continued to buy them because I’d grown to expect great things from them, but the expectations weren’t realized. I’ve since moved on to other brands but I’ve always held out hope they would go back to being the ones to beat. So when the new Tundra came out, we were in the market for a truck and I thought I might get one, even though I was never crazy about the old Tundra, which also seemed cheap inside. I was so eager to see the new Tundra in person, but I was disappointed when it finally came out. Since the release coincided with the supply chain squeeze, the huge markups made it even less attractive. I ended up buying a gently used ‘20 F150 Platinum with the 3.5 ecoboost, and it’s been perfect in the time we’ve owned it. I had another opportunity to look at and sit in a new Tundra while I was helping my MIL buy a RAV4 hybrid, and even my wife noticed how cheap and plasticky the Tundra felt compared to the F150, which feels very solid and sturdy. That’s comparing it to the ’20 model, not the even better 21+. We love the F150 with the 3.5 ecoboost engine, especially with a tune. It’s plenty powerful for a truck and mileage is decent, 17-18 avg with a level kit, 20” Fuels and 33’s.
Industry wide the new vehicles with all the technology inside looks cool but they making them where you can check or diagnose issues ur self , quality not being as good, everything being a turbo is concerning. Prayers to all of us 😅
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
I foresee a lot of Nissan v6 frontiers being sold.
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🫤
if you still need a 1/2 ton pickup...I would find a gently used last gen Tundra.
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!!😂👊🏻
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.
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.
My wife and I got 2022 Toyota 4Runner brand new. We have also 2018 Rav4, no issues with either one. 4Runner is solid, fine SUV. We got TRD off road Premium model. Sorry to hear about your troubles, but at least Toyota did you right after all. Take care, and good luck with the next one.
How ya like ur 4runner?? Trd off road trim ??
Where Toyotas are manufactured makes a huge difference. The vehicles made in Japan are almost completely trouble free. Can't say the same about others made in North America.
@@George-on3zm a sold suv, safe, a capable one in many ways. It is also an easy to work on. Has proven quality and reliability. I am not sure is there a vehicle in its class better than this one.
@@JohnSmith-00700 I agree, and you are not the only one having that opinion.
Much respect for your honesty. It's All manufacturers, they are just building expensive junk.
Well said. I own four Toyota products the newest being a 2017 4Runner. I wouldn’t own one of these new Tundras after what has happened to the design and engine failures. Your video confirmed my suspicions that Toyota is beginning to fail at meeting the high bar of reliability they’ve been know for. The have to listen to the loyal customers and understand what they want. This truck is basically being built to meet government regulations for a global mass production platform. Vote with your dollars people.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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'm sorry for all of your problems. I have a '24 Platinum and it is fantastic! I have not had a single problem that you've mentioned and I am one super picky customer. I hope you get a great new vehicle.
Welcome to the new generation of throw away vehicles
Got a 2024 4Runner last weekend. Wanted that proven reliability. Hope you enjoy yours. Keep us updated on what you end up with.
21 tundra here. Last v8 im keeping mine.
I went from a 2015 tundra which I loved to a 22 Ford f150 lariat powerboost. So far best truck I’ve owned no real headaches or glitches but it’s a new truck to me.
I have 2020 Tundra V8 and I never imagine trading it for v6 . I can never buy the v6 turbo., if Toyota go back to v8 I will definitely upgrade
Hell, they will put 4 turbos on them before ever doing a V8 again. they have made a huge blunder.
Same as On Dec 7 1941.
I bought a new Corolla Cross in 2023. It is OK too many gee wiss things. I never turn them on.
Go woke go broke. Toyota bought into this go green b.s. and in turn lost quality control to jump on this go green crap. Bring back the V8. Give the people what they want.
That’s right
Exactly
Toyota didn't buy in, they are being forced through government regulations and it's only going to get worse. Are you aware of the bill that passed last week mandating 7 out of 10 new vehicles be zero emissions starting in 2027? The EPA is literally ruining the auto industry and manufacturers are getting the blame.
@@redtitan29 , I agree! The government has been messing up cars since 1968 when the first smog pump was installed. We used to shit can those things, and no big deal, back then. New vehicles have a lot of power! I will say that! These new rigs should be really dependable at the price we are paying. I really dislike EV's. I'm glad they are piling up on the lots! POS!
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.
That is a lifestyle SUV with a bed on it that is not a real truck. Thank you for finally being honest Toyota really does have a lot of issues you can go back 15 years with all their oil consumption issues and so on and so forth. I agree if you’re paying a premium, you should get a premium product Not be misled.
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.
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.
I purchased a 1995 Toyota T100 SR5 pickup truck almost 30 years ago. I still own it. I wish I could post a photo here because it’s in that good of shape. I bought the truck very slightly used $18,000. The exterior is still in like new condition. It still has the original engine, transmission, A/C equipment, alternator and has one set of brakes (pads only) with 175k miles. runs perfectly. $165 per year lic fees, $700 insurance, and fuel. This is the precursor to the Tundra and the Toyota quality is there. Many of these trucks are still on the road and still being used for work vehicles. I wouldn’t hesitate to drive mine across the US tomorrow. It’s never failed me!
Why would anyone spend $70k +++ on a new truck and go through this crap…... ?
Nice to hear that everything works out for you
I’m happy with my ‘22 4x4 CrewMax SR5 TRD Sport. Almost 20k miles… Don’t have the problems mentioned except the infotainment screen asking for the passcode every so often. It’s annoying. It’s our go-to vehicle for family trips. Drove it to OR, WA, AZ, and NV so far (I’m from CA). Loving it! I’m probably one of many who lucked out on the first year of remodel. It seems like issues are often found on higher trim models.
Glad you got a good one! Like I said, when it works as designed, it’s freaking awesome.
I have my 23 trd pro and 14 gx460 .. I have no issues . I love both , but the pro is super quick and more power than the v8 4.7 l lexus
What's the dealer oil changing 0w-30 synthetic or 5w-30? Are you light footed, tow? Let turbos warm before drive?
@@cwservices3839 I'm up here in Redding, CA. So, I go with Lithia Toyota. No idea what oil they're using. I believe they're using whatever the user manual required.
I'm usually chill to save gas. But I hit the limiter every now and then.
I haven't towed anything yet, but that's about to change.
Yes, I do warm it up when I can, especially in the winter. Otherwise, will just drive it easy until it gets warm.
I bought a 2024 Platinum 7 months ago and I haven't had any issues, this is my 3rd Tundra (2010,2015), and this is the best one I have driven. I intentionally waited, I considered the 2022, but I wanted to wait and let the bugs be worked out. BTW I'm located in San Antonio and visited the plant and did the Plant tour, which was really interesting. I currently have 6K on the truck and again no issues.
Congrats , you just made the wisest choice, get one the latest 4R 5th and will never go wrong with it. Toyota is betraying the philosophy which makes them the best motor company , simple is better , less is more , hope to return to that roots before become like Honda , an Asian Stellantis.
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’m glad Toyota took care of you. I bought a 21 4Runner new and I decided to upgrade to a 24 4Runner TRD Pro while I could. These are, sadly, the last of the Toyotas that made me a fan. Enjoy you new 4 Runner and run it 300,000 miles. That’s going to be my plan! 😂
I ordered a TRD pro in Terra myself. Can’t wait.
@@triggerhappyreviews I was between that and Underground and went with Underground. Both are beautiful and well built trucks. Congratulations
I went with a 23 Tacoma off road 4x4. No way I’d trust any boosted motor from them. 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder turbo engines will never have the longevity of the na motors.
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’ve loved Toyota trucks since I started driving back in the 1990’s, but they’ve definitely gone downhill over the years. The interior plastics in my 2020 Tacoma will scratch if you look at them too hard.
I've had a 21 and now a 22 Tundra. The new one is great, don't have any issues or quality control issues with it. Mine drives fine. Too bad you've had a bad experience with it.
Bravo! Great explanation. I’m 100% in agreement. Nothing but issues with the newer Toyota Trucks. Disappointed.
I bought a 23 Tacoma, basically because I didn’t want a turbo. Happy to say I love my Tacoma and super pleased with it. Hope Toyota can get back to being a reliable bullet proof product.
Get rid of the screens and computers that run everything. Use solenoids and regular electrical switches. I know how to turn an air conditioner dial to get the temperature just right in a car. Bring back radios with dials and actual buttons. I don't want GPS tracking and maps in my dash. I don't need or want Blutooth.
I WANT A MANUAL TRANSMISSION! Put the fuel pumps by the engine and out of the tanks. I HATE KEY FOBS!!!!!! I want real keys AND keyed locks ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TOO!
NO MORE KEYLESS IGNITION! Keys with chips were the best anti-theft devices.
I agreed- except for the Bluetooth
Get a Nissan truck
First time Toyota owner here with the 2024 Tundra I-Force Max having just turned 5,000 miles. The only problem I've seen occurred this week on a 600-mile drive when my wife plugged her iPhone into the console USB port to charge whereby I lost CarPlay until the next stop where I had to turn the truck off to re-cycle the electronics. That aside, I love this truck and would recommend it to others.
You did a great job on explaining things in this video. I'm not a Toyota owner, but I enjoyed the comprehensive review. I had a Silverado for 6 months and sold it. No problems really, but like you I thought I was playing rulette with an expensive truck! Sad for sure. The older Tundras are very sought after and command a big price.
They do command a big price😂$59600 for a ‘21 TRD Pro, lunar rock, w/ 30k miles on it, 3 owners no less. I walked away - that’s a lot of cash for a 4 year old truck, V8 or not😂
My 2022 limited trd has been treating me really good for 2 yrs, besides the recalls. No issues at all, just 10k mile. Perhaps you're one of those un lucky ones.
2yrs and only 10k miles is way too early to jump in joy.
Clearly it’s not being driven enough.
You better get the 4 runner now before that new one that just debuted comes out lol
My father has a 2022 Tundra and myself a 2023. We both have had worry free ownership. There are definitely some cheap plastics inside. The exterior window trim seems to be cheaply made/installed as well.
ive got a 23 trd pro tundra and i dont have any issues. especially the tech, my screen works all the time, and i connect all the time no failure. about a cheap plastic, all vehicle manufacturer use cheap plastic nowadays, no turbo issues no transmission issues. my only complaint is that the could do better on wireless charger and tailgate,
23 sequoia trd pro and no issues.
Totally agree my 2024 tundra hybrid was also “fragile”
Man I feel the same exact way you feel. I just can't figure out why they are letting quality slip, going turbo on everything. I was looking at 4runners myself, it's the last vehicle they make that is reliable at this point. I hope they turn it around, I have 3 toyotas in the garage so....I'm with ya.
At some point, somebody in Japan is going to have to step in. I can’t believe how much better quality my new 4runner is vs that tundra.
Dad says pretty much the same about his Tacoma. Spent $50,000 CAD on the biggest package and he hates it. Coming from a 4Runner to this and he literally was calling me asking if the shifting issues and power delay / lack of was normal.
Took it back to the dealership 3 times and they finally said it’s how it is.
Really let down for him cuz it was the first time I’d seen him be able to afford something so pricey and be his dream vehicle but it’s been a let down.
Natural aspiration only
Two years ago I would have disagreed. I had a little turbo Volvo s60 and I absolutely loved that car. Small single turbo on an inline 5 cylinder. It’s was excellent. Now I totally agree.
I wanted to get another truck after having FJ Cruiser since 2014. But once the new Tundra came out I quickly crossed it off my list as it just felt so cheap inside and hated all the plastic on the front end. Went with 2023 4Runner, new Tacoma wasn't out and the 2023 was just as bad as the FJ for front seat comfort, even with the power seat adjustments. Funny story I was at Toyota dealer last week to get part for my daily driver Yaris and saw a new Tundra parked in the service area that either got hit in the rear or it was backed into something. Only had slight damage that I could see, but it caught my attention because the 2 lights in the bumper were cracked. I am guess that is backup lights, or is it some type of offroad package lights. Just seemed like a terrible place to put lights as the bumper usually first thing to make contact.
My 2024 Toyota Tundra SR5 TRD Offroad is so far so good...but it is fragile and it is underwhelming.
This just makes me love my 2018 Toyota even more
Good information, I just bought a 2024 4 Runner. Traded my F 150 Powerboost…I’m currently getting 20+ mpgs 6 cylinder with a 5 speed. My worries have faded. Btw, I’m also a Toyota guy!
What kinda 4 runner??
I have a 97 T100 with 400k. The design is based on years of trial and error. New design for bells and whistles and the government emission standards have taken Toyota down the Ford road.
That sucks Toyota quality is definitely not what it used to be!!! I have a 23 Tacoma TRD and the steering wheel was off when I picked it up which I fixed on my own! It wasn’t a huge big deal but still it’s a brand new truck and there shouldn’t have been any issues at all! I still love Toyotas but it’s a disappointment!
2014 has 750 000 miles still towing & , great work truck . New Toyota trucks are no good
Maybe ford could school them on turbos. I loved my 3.5 ecoboost.
even they weren't perfect when they first came out either. takes time to work out the issues
Take a look at the GX if any 23's are still available. They were 7k off a couple of months ago, much better value than the 4R. I really like mine better the my 5th gen 4R. Good video thanks.
Fragile - an interesting statement. TFL Car/Truck found their ‘24 Tacoma 4x4 front differential was a bit fragile.
I agree with everything you said, but you should of known not to get one the first year or a complete remodel. But I have definitely heard that about the quality being there especially when a limited platform runs you 60 plus K… best of luck with your 4runner. I agree about these smaller displacement engines. Hopefully Toyota can figure it out because I love their cars but now that everything meant for a family is 50k and up, it better be a DAMN good product. Not pay more for crappier products. 🙌🏽🙏🏽
v8 only on tundras, them twin turbos v6s on all these brands are a headaches
I purchased a 2024 tundra almost 4 weeks ago and approaching 3k miles I feel the transmission doing what you said. It doesn’t know what gear it wants to be in. A lot of times it feels like it’s confused where to go during accelerations. 😬
I’m sticking to my 5.7 hemi
REALLY??? We got a jokester every one!!!
my friend having issues with his 23, so i started searching and here we are. makes me sad tbh
NEVER..NEVER..NEVER Buy a first or second year production of anything Especially a whole new Engine design and transmission Basically a whole new designed vehicle.....always WAIT at least 3 or 4 yrs. That's when they usually get all the bugs and kinks worked out. people always wanna jump on the latest and greatest things And unfortunately some people pay the price for that. You're extremely lucky they're buying it back. The new Tacoma's are already having issues. And some recalls
the 2010's is peak toyota reliability. my 15 toyota hybrid camry will be impossible to break. All fluids can be changed in a driveway.
I own a 2015 tundra 1794 and not only I get many compliments but I love it
Had zero complaints or problems
yep.. I'll keep my 14 5.7 also :)
2018 Platinum owner, and with my latest service at the stealership, the phone call from a salesman prior to the service visit asking me to sell it and trade up to a newer model sounded even more desperate than usual.
@@richardanderson1732 I had the same experience at the dealership during my service. The offer was very tempting also.
I've got a 24 and my biggest complaint is the transmission sometimes it's smooth and other times I'll be leaving a stop sign and it literally won't move so I give a tad more gas then it takes off.
hybrid solves that
I’m not buying a turbo engine period. And Toyota has gone the way of GM.
Dear lord am I glad I have my 2019 4-Runner Limited, 2016 Tacoma Off Road (Not perfect but has been solid) and 2008 Lexus IS350 (This car has been perfect!)! I was tempted by the 2022 and up Tundra. Man am I glad I waited it out to see how the TNGA platform worked in the real world. It appears this new TNGA platform is going to have some real growing pains.
I have had my 2023 Tundra for a full year now without so much as a single issue, big or small. I think overwhelmingly these are 2022 issues.
Agree, solid truck now, even many 22's are as well..only like 5% had issues but still sucks and feel bad for them.
Mine is 2022 limited trd. No issues at all at 10k mi. Not even a single engine light, only recalls.
I have a Toyota tundra SR5 TRD off road 2022 and at 20K miles the entire engine had to be replaced so definitely not happen definitely doing the lemon law as well
What was the issue? That’s insane
Toyota is spiraling downwards. They don't deserve their reputation anymore. I currently own the last Toyota I will ever buy, a '21 Rav4 (non-hybrid of course).
@triggerhappyreviews, so sorry to hear about your issues.
I purchased a ‘22 Tundra 1794 STD bed back in July 2022 (manufactured in May). I’ve had no major issues, now with 25,000 miles.
The minor issues were wind noise from driver’s door gasket (fixed), crinkle noise at head liner passenger side (fixed), RR passenger wind noise (better - reported to Toyota engineering) - warranty extended.
I agree about some of the plastics.
I have towed some with an ~8,500 lb travel trailer and found it to be very competent with the right hitch setup.
Running around gas mileage has been about as advertised, 17 to 18 mixed, 20 to 23 highway with 3 passengers and about 500 lbs of gear in the bed.
I do agree about the front and back ends not being tough enough for the long term. At some point I may look for aftermarket bumpers but for now I will let them be.
This is about the same experience and gas milage in my 23 sequioa. I agree with the bumpers I am looking at an ARB bumper for the front of it if my wife will allow it
Good, I just got a 2024 SR5 loaded, I have a question on mine I don't have digital cluster so how you check the transmission temperature pulling a heavy travel trailer?
@@pecosb5221 I am not sure I didn't worry about the temp when towing because we have been well under the towing limit on it. If you find out let me know
I m pretty happy with my 23 trd pro ...
@@pecosb5221 I just figured this out for myself. You can configure the right part of the instrument panel to show this. Right now by default it just shows the boost but it can also show the pitch/roll and there is a trailer setting too. You can configure this by uses the controls on the right side of the steering wheel to select the settings menu and then scroll down to "customize right side" hold down the ok button on that setting and it will let you change the setting.
Toyota owner since 1983.
Non-Japanese built Toyotas absolutely DO NOT have the same build quality as Japan built vehicles.
For the premium price paid,Toyota absolutely needs to DO BETTER.
I’ll still take my chances with Toyota over the big 3.
bingo
This is exactly why I didn't buy a new Tundra. I have a 2008 Tundra with a 5.7L V8. Currently has 300,000 miles but I wanted a new truck. But since the new Tundras don't have a V8, I went with a 22 Tacoma instead. I know the V6 is a lot less powerful but it's tried and tested. I really wish Toyota would've offered the V8 at least in the most simple trim. I do like the design of the new Tundras but no V8 is an immediate pass.
Bought a 24 v8 titan after my 08 tundra..best move I made
Last year for those trucks. They just didn't sell well. They will now ...
I'm with you, keeping my v6 Tacoma and 4Runner forever
I can’t believe you said this about Toyota…..this maybe a mistake. Eight open recalls crazy.
Sadly it’s true.
If this happened to this truck, it is the possibility of the same issues happening to the other ones as well. Have to buy cars and trucks which are made in Japan only, to be sure on quality
I have an 08 Tundra. I'll be buying a new truck towards the end of the year, and it won't be a Tundra! It won't even be a half ton. All of the half tons now are nothing but toys! Small engines, coil spring rear suspensions??🙄 They can keep the toys, I'll be looking at F250's.
"I've seen the future and I don't like it." Me too, me too
I’m going to keep my 2016 Tundra Limited until the wheels fall off. I owned my 2005 Tundra limited Double cab having zero issues with it. I also own a 2015 Venza with a V6 which Toyota has ruined for me. Anyhow I went into dealership to get an oil change and while waiting for service my salesman touched base into maybe trading for a New Tundra Limited Crewmax. This was my most expensive oil change ever😅 My grandchildren have grown up and more space was needed. I love my 2016 but can’t see trading for troubles owning a New Tundra with problems I’ve never experienced owning a Toyota before. I would love to trade up,but I have been spoiled with my current purchases. 🤔
I hope they put it in the compactor! Goodbye.
My worst Toyota was my second one back in 1972. I dumped it in 6 months. What a pile of junk it was. My 1970 was super/ still love that vehicle. Wish I had of kept it.
Just bought a 24 4runner off road premium,love that dam thing.
Those are still build in Japan, enjoy it while it last new one may be build in US/Mejico
@@Epion0485no able to build in Mexico my friend. Taco factory does not have the capacity. 4Runner stays Japan production
Im betting its part supplier issues. They invented kazien manufacturing so Im not suprised the acknowledge problems. They have to get back to their roots and listen to their production line people. They know best where to find the root of problems. Its up to management to set them up to win.
Sorry you had such a bad experience, and you are right…Toyota has not been the same for a long time. A far cry from their glory days. I used to be a die-hard Toyota guy but about 2003-2004, I started noticing quality was going down, it was no where near what it used to be. I still continued to buy them because I’d grown to expect great things from them, but the expectations weren’t realized. I’ve since moved on to other brands but I’ve always held out hope they would go back to being the ones to beat. So when the new Tundra came out, we were in the market for a truck and I thought I might get one, even though I was never crazy about the old Tundra, which also seemed cheap inside. I was so eager to see the new Tundra in person, but I was disappointed when it finally came out. Since the release coincided with the supply chain squeeze, the huge markups made it even less attractive. I ended up buying a gently used ‘20 F150 Platinum with the 3.5 ecoboost, and it’s been perfect in the time we’ve owned it. I had another opportunity to look at and sit in a new Tundra while I was helping my MIL buy a RAV4 hybrid, and even my wife noticed how cheap and plasticky the Tundra felt compared to the F150, which feels very solid and sturdy. That’s comparing it to the ’20 model, not the even better 21+. We love the F150 with the 3.5 ecoboost engine, especially with a tune. It’s plenty powerful for a truck and mileage is decent, 17-18 avg with a level kit, 20” Fuels and 33’s.
Listen up v6 in tundra is junk period, tacoma with turbo 4 junk everybob quit buying these period!!!!!!!!!
Industry wide the new vehicles with all the technology inside looks cool but they making them where you can check or diagnose issues ur self , quality not being as good, everything being a turbo is concerning. Prayers to all of us 😅
Thought about Tundra backing out no dice .
Make me worried for saleing my 2015 sr5 for a 2024 Tundra limited
So far loving my new truck
