I have an '08 Tundra, replaced the radio (once under warranty), have repainted it. My biggest problem is that it has 307k miles and the damn thing won't die. I want a new truck, but just can't justify it.
Lol! You may be in trouble!!😬
I bought a 2013 Tacoma new. One recall that I have been notified about was a problem related to cold and humidity....ie northern Ontario and Quebec. I live in southern alberta. cold and dry. Toyota gave me a new undercoat regardless. My truck has been above the arctic circle twice on the Dempster highway. This truck will NEVER die.
If I'm not being too nosey, what did a pant job set you back or did you paint it ?
Ha. No kidding. Fellow '08 owner, best truck Ive ever had. Replaced radio just because, nothing else but bateries, a belt, tuneup parts, and tires.
@@bufallobiff when I repainted, the truck had some minor body damage of dents, scratches, dings, etc. I was teaching scuba to Boy Scouts and it had made a few trips through the woods and had its fair share of parking lot damage. I paid a body guy around $600 to fix the body work and then I sanded it with my orbital sander and hand painted it in a bed liner paint called Monstaliner. Did it in my driveway for $500....with a textured roller. Truck has 313k miles now. After looking at new F-150’s and new Tundras, I’m just going to keep it.
"Recall" means the manufacturer fixes it. It's the opposite of the manufacturer telling you to pound sand when your dodge falls apart.
And don’t forget GM AND FORD
@@drizler no, thats why he only said dodge
amen....
The timing chain cover leak is a 2200$ repair. Clearly a manufacturing defect.
Or Ford. Someone should have been publicly flogged over that 6.0L Powerstroke. No recall on that lemon
My 2006 Tacoma was the most reliable vehicle I ever owned. I drove it for 13 years and 180k. Toyota replaced the leaf springs and treated the frame at no cost to me. Loved that truck.
Makes me happy I just got my 2006 Tacoma
Why do you say was you don’t have it anymore ?
@@leovargas760 Traded it for a 2019 :)
Not too much wrong with my 2005 Tundra. The paint is peeling off the wheel wells & roof. I just had to replace the windshield wiper transmission, & the tailgate handle. My tire sensor light stays on, despite all the tires being aired to specification. I've heard that is a common problem. I bought the truck last August 2020 with 180K. It is immaculate inside. The previous owner installed a fancy radio, with Bluetooth, backup camera, & it plays DVDs as well.
I'm very happy with my purchase, & look forward to putting my own miles on it. You didn't mention any specific major problems with my year, which makes me really happy!
@@leovargas760 Traded for a 2019 :)
I bought a 2006 Tundra 3 years ago. It’s been pretty trouble free experience.
Awesome 👍
I've had a 2006 taco TRD sport since 2012., the only real problem with it was a frame replacement in 2015 which Toyota paid for in full.(about $13500) I've got over 177000 mi. on the 4 liter v6. Still performs great. No rust. I live in Michigan.
That’s awesome! Great to hear👍
The 2006 Tundra is arguably is the best Tundra ever made! Last year of the 1st edition.
Ive had my 06 for 4 years now. Only major work was water pump and timing belt replacement.
Years to avoid for dodge: all of them
I have a 2004 Dodge 2500 diesel that I bought new. The only thing I've replaced is lift pump.
😂
Tranny at 175k😢
Dodging dodge
Dodge means to avoid 😂
My 2002 tundra with 257,000 miles still running smooth, wanna buy a new one but but can’t justify getting rid of her.
Nope! The best truck is one with no payments!!
295,000 miles on mine. Had to rebuild the transmission. $3500 to do but it’s the most I’ve ever had to put in her. Roof is rusted, just like he said, but the clear coat is coming off everywhere else, so I might get it painted. Engine has always run sweet.
Nice👍
I got an '01 with 218k ...bought it used, runs fine! Changed oil but reluctant to change transmission fluid, don't think a flush is good for older transmissions...just the filter maybe...? So ...Should I change out the filter and top it off?
Thanks!
Avoid all years!! So I can buy them all! Lol
You’re gonna need a larger garage!!👍
Lol I understand. I want to buy one so badly.
Got a 07 Tacoma 4 door 6cyl. 195000 miles. Best truck ever it's clean runs great and I'm not selling it. O ya 08 Toyota Corolla still getting 36 miles per at 136000 on it.
No i want one
7.3 f259
I have a 2011 Tacoma. 225000 miles, never had a problem!
Awesome!👍
Mine has 97,000.00 miles and no problems. Milking it to get me through my retirement years.
Nice👍
Ford, avoid all years & models 😂
Lol!!!!!😁
I mean I’d rather buy a ford over a dodge/ram/fiat.
I am a Ford guy I do a lot of miles my last 2015 Ford F150 platinum had 86,000 miles on it it was a six cylinder TwinTurbo the air-conditioning broke the glove box lock broke the rear seat broke the air-conditioning broke and the fuel pump broke. Giving the tundra another try by 2019 was 11 so I’m going to go for a 20 wish me luck
I’m sure you’ll have much better luck with the Tundra👍
Found On Road Dead
I have an 04 Tundra Limited double cab with 181,000 miles and it has been very reliable for the last 17 years. Everything stock except for the radio and rims. The paint clear coat started to peel around a year ago (Roof and above the door handles) but it is still running smooth so I decided to have it repainted and keep it for another 10 years or so. Love this truck.
That’s awesome 👍
Bought a 2007 tacoma with under 75k miles. Zero rust and drives pretty good!
Awesome 👍
Ok, so to manage these things, it sounds like the takeaways are: Plan to replace the leaf springs (easy); Inspect for frame rust, keep the frame clean (esp in winter) during ownership; Replace the stereo? If these are the reasons to avoid an entire vehicle line, prospective Tacoma owners should roll over to the Wrangler forums where their idea of a "reason to avoid" a model year includes: Failing heads, blown rear main seals, defective main crank bearings, cracked and leaking oil cooler and filter assemblies, and so on. I love the Toyota perspective -- don't buy a Tacoma because of rusty leaf springs..... ba hahahahaha ha. Jokes aside, this is a great analysis and provides excellent perspective about what constitutes serious issues in Toyota-land --- step outside the Toyota bubble, and these issues start to look pretty manageable.
Well said👍
No radio but starts up every time. I can live with that.
I’ve actually owned a 2005, 2006, and 2008 tundra and I love them all. Especially my 08 5.7l. I highly recommend it. Very strong and reliable truck
I don't understand why you would need to own 3 trucks within 4 model years. What was the purpose? Multiple drivers and one checkbook?
I’m trying to buy a 2008 5.7 tundra tomorrow $9,500 167k miles hopefully it works out
same here, looking at a 2009 SR5 WITH 120K, Asking 12k....@@qanthon41
@qanthon41 you get it? Not bad. I'm about get 2010 5.7 rock warrior for 10k has 283k miles but 5.7 proven good and 6 speed Trans
I own a 2013 regular cab 4x4 Tacoma. I have 125,000 miles. Have not done brakes yet, truck is automatic, only basic maintenance. Catalytic Converter got clogged, but was a recall. It is a 4 banger and I do abuse her a bit, but absolutely love it. Only did plugs at 100,000 miles and oil/air filter changes. I am on the east coast and keep my frame clean and take care of any rust I see. Great truck.
I own a 2006 tacoma, heard about the recall, called toyota and they replaced my leaf springs free of charge. All you need to do is call Toyota give them your VIN number and if your truck is on the list they’ll replace them free of charge. The sudden acceleration was taken care of when i took the truck in for service. All they did was cutout part of the carpet underneath the accelerator pedal and that was it. As far as the stereo goes i replaced mine shortly after i got the truck and therefore no issues here.
Sounds like you are all set👍
I own a 2001 tacoma and heard about the frame recall, so I called toyota and they said I was outside the window and they wouldn't honor the recall anymore.
I have a 2011 Tacoma and have never had anything repaired on it. No paint peeling or fading, no problem with the sealed transmission, and never have replaced any fluids except oil. This truck is great and if I ever decide to replace it I probably will purchase a Tacoma!
Great to hear👍
06 Tacoma - 224k miles. Leaf spring TSB done at no charge, no other issues in the 6 years I've had it.
That’s great!👍
Sounds like he's talking about my Silverado.
"There are tons of used toyota tacomas for sale"
Covid 19: Hold my beer.
🤣👍
Pretty much. Fuckin ridiculous. And the market is way higher than blue book. People get 1200 stimulus checks and put it as a down payment and probably get a loan at 60-78 months with 20% interest.
haha yep I just about lost it when he said that. I have been scouring the market for the right tundra. Every one that I have "gone after" is off the market within 2 or 3 days.
@@chadw1824 I went through 5 before I landed one. lol
Bro they want 6-8K for a 2k Tacoma lol
I have a 2007 crew cab Limited tundra with 264,000 miles, I have dogged the shit out of it for years and years and I have never had one single problem ever. Best truck ever made and will buy another
Nice👍
Did you have to replace the brake light switch?
Nope.
My 2001 Tacoma ,4 WD TRD, still Running strong, 300K !!
Nice👍👍
My 01’ just rolled over 100k. She’s finally broke in!! Haha
Nice👍
Tundra @ 4:00
I bought a new Tacoma in 2006 SR5.it has 232,000 miles and has been flawless,I live in Florida and would drive to Alaska and back with confidence.
Nice👍
My dad had an '07 2wd Tundra stepside. Not a single issue. His check engine light came on once, turned out to be a loose gas cap. He's currently at 148k milles, still breaking it in...😉
Nice👍
Folks can buy what they want, but for my money I will only buy Toyota (or Lexus) vehicles. 1999 F-150 went 300K but everything except the motor was breaking on it. Every Toyota that I have had (6 total) have been trouble free.
My 06 tundra V6 4.0 has 386500 miles on it and runs pretty perfect, cold AC, hot heat, great on freeway, about to replace what I suspect is the original fuel pump, lean codes both banks and random misfire just started a few months back.
This would be a 7 hour video if you went over all of the recalls and problems with American made trucks.
Toyota Tacoma is American made
@@Originalxlander Toyota Tacoma is a japan designed vehicle buddy, they are only assembled in America not made here. Its become so popular in America that people will believe they manufacture them here when in fact they are just imported and assembled here in Texas and Mexico.
well my seqouia frame rotted in half. toyota wouldnt do a thing.
How old was it?
@@RobMotive 02. talked with them 4 years ago. They wouldnt do a thing.
I had an 06 Taco and traded it at 215,000 miles. Never had one problem with it and still ran strong AF when I traded it in for my 08 Tundra 5.7L, which is awesome. Glad to have that pulling power.
Nice👍
I had a 2006 Taco trd 4 dr 4.0 L as well, love that truck.
Wait til your timing chain tensioner goes out. $4000 later lol
I’ve always owned Toyota’s. My 2010 Tacoma had no issues whatsoever. Leaf springs and headlights was replaced for free. I’m sticking to Toyota. Can’t beat its reliability.
I have a 2010 Toyota Tundra with at least 320,000 miles; I never had a problem
Great video Rob. To stay out of trouble, I always buy the last one of previous generations. Hopefully by then all well known problems are resolved for that model year. That's why I had an 05 and now a 2015 😁
Thanks Youssef👍. That’s a good way to go IMO. Let’s all the bugs get worked out!
great advice...I did the same with my 2013 Tundra SR5 Trd ...from 2007-2013 they were constantly improving and fixing issues and add accessories at no extra cost and then in 2014 they redesign it a bit and sure thing ..cheap cloth seats , no driver side handle bar , less cup holders , one glove box instead of double and the list goes on...
Sometime you get more if you go back a gen!!😬
tundras
@@RobMotive is that true? Because I'm in the market for a Toyota Tacoma never had one I'm 65 years old and disabled and I need a vehicle that will get me up to Wisconsin to see my kids to Alaska and around the country in Backwoods I've also got a little bit of money saved and once I spend it my life's money is gone so I need to buy a rig under $10,000 that's even a lot of money to put out when there's no more savings coming back. But I like the idea of buying the end of the generation? Because they got the bugs worked out is that true do you think that's a true recipe for me because I cannot afford a lemon any advice :-) Thanks
My dad had a 2005 Toyota for 14 years and had no problems, one of his favorite trucks
Great to hear👍
looking at getting one how many miles does his have
@@ferociousfishing927 it had around 190,000 but he sold it about a month ago so it probably a little more than when he had it
My Toyota 1991 still rolling 4 wheel drive. Unstoppable
That’s great!!👍👍
@@RobMotive idk for sure but kinda calculated at least 500 000 miles. Thanks for the reply bro. No major problems no problems at all with trans or transfer case rear an front end. Now ball joints tie rods have replaced
That’s really good for a truck that old👍
I had most of my fun with my 94. even getting out in the mud to lock the front hubs. I miss that truck.
@@ashdobbs7492 lol we used to say lock da hubs. In other words the mud was bad here in Louisiana its thats gumbo clay
My 2000 Tacoma had 350,000 miles. My 2001 Tacoma had 425,000 miles.
My current 2008 Tacoma has 179,000
2001 tacoma, 2.4l engine, 15 inch tires, 230k miles. It has used up 1 set front pads and rotors, cat back exhaust and a couple of front end parts and lots of tires...Pretty darn impressive by any standards.
Absolutely! That’s great!!👍
Yup, I have a 2002 Tacoma. It has pretty damn reliable with few issues.
Nice👍
My grandfather passed away and left me his 2000 toyota tacoma extended cab, its got 58,000 miles on it and I got to say this is a pretty damn good vehicle. Haven't had to do anything to it except fluid changes. I will say the clear coat on the paint is peeling, not a big deal to me though.
Sorry for your loss. Truck sounds great👍
If your late grandfather kept the oil changed & used the right oil, that truck is just getting broke in with only 58,000 miles. I know, because I bought a 2000 Tacoma 4x4 with 3RZ-FE engine & Aisin automatic transmission brand new. I just clicked 362,000 miles on it, and it still runs good as new. Actually, better than ever, due to recently installing a longtube header. Had I known how well the 3RZ responds to a header only, I would've done it years ago.
I have a 2010Tacoma............iI have 150,000 miles on it. 4.0L V-6 Engine. I haven’t had a single issue with it. Engine doesn’t use a drop of oil. I’ve gone close to 70,000 miles on the brakes. BY FAR the best trucks EVER!!!! I know people who have bought new Dodges, Fords, Chevys and they’ve had nothing but problems with them. I’ve literally had NO ISSUES with my Tacoma.
Great to hear👍👍
I have 2006 Toyota Tundra SR5 double cab. Owned for 2 yrs just replaced entire front end. Has almost 200 thousand miles. Runs ok. So far after front end I replaced fuel pump, several coils sparks plugs normal. Over all great truck. Still have few things to make it over all better.
Nice👍
2005-2006 are the best Tundras ever made. And I’ve owned a 2011 and 2018. If I need a stronger truck than the 1st gen, I need a diesel.
Absolutely, with a 2006 being the best of the two.
@@RollYourRock The 05 and 06 are literally the same. You might feel that way because you or someone you know own an 06 but there is no difference.
@@___Karma__ there's a big difference you overlooked... the 06 is newer! 🙂
@@RollYourRock if anything...the posted HP for 06 was around 10 HP less than the 05...so if numbers are your game, chew on that 🤣
@@___Karma__ That's only because the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) had instituted new testing procedures for 2006 that delivered more conservative numbers. The engine itself, and its performance, had not changed. - Nice try! 😂
2006 Taco, leaf springs replaced, frame evaluated and passed. Live on Vancouver Island, 310,000 km and going strong. Only thing I hate is TPMS for the spare
Nice👍
You also have to take in account with rust, that it kinda depends on where you live. Kinda like up north and around salt states around oceans.
Absolutely 👍
Exactly i have
08 tundra
12 Tacoma
15 4 runner
ZERO rust on all, we don’t salt our roads.
California never had rust problems
I have a 2006 less than 100 grand on it. I have the 4.0 V-6 . Probably Toyotas best motor ever. Still available in The 4Runners. I love my truck.
The only reason they had so many recalls is because Toyota is a solid company and they did lots of campaign meanwhile the American truck companies that had much more serious issues they never issued recalls and turned a blind eye to make them look better on paper.
Not sure I agree with you. The American companies have had their share 😬
Just bought a 2018 week ago ill let you know in 10 years
I’ll be waiting 👍👍
Hope im around...hope u r 2
👍
I have a 2013 Tundra Crew Max Rock Warrior. The only problem I have had with it is right at 100k miles, a rodent ate the engine wiring harness. That was about a 6k insurance claim, but otherwise, the truck has been trouble free. I LOVE my Tundra.
Nice👍👍
Ouch ! The insurance covers that ?
@@MrBillkaz yes, it was an act of God insurance claim.
I have a 2011 tundra 190,000 miles no problems
The secondary air pump failure issue was due to moisture being drawn into the intake system. Their solution was to place a baffle over the opening to the intake inside the passenger side fender. My daughter drove mine in a torrential downpour rainstorm once. A few days later, it would turn over, but not start on me. But, it seemed to go away. I got lucky in that it must not have drawn enough moisture into the system to cause the secondary air pump to completely fail.
Thanks for the info 👍
"Closer to the sun" HAHAHAHA
I'd say a rusty frame is far worse than a shattered back glass😉 You are right about the radios though. Absolute garbage. The supplier is Panasonic. My 2019 sr5 stereo is the worst sounding wimpy stereo I have ever heard. I'm constantly past 3/4 volume when jamming out. Heck, my Ford base model work van sounds better. Stereo replacement will be the first "real" mod for me.
The stereo is a bit weak. Been thinking of changing mine out🤔
@@RobMotive look into the Dasaita 10.2 android radio. There is guy on TH-cam that reviews it for the tundra. Seems to be better than that Tesla style radio crap. It makes the interior look more modern, and has a true equalizer.
Yes, my 2014 tundra stock stereo is weak. I want upgrade the speakers bad. Love my driving music
I've owned 5 Toyota trucks over 28 years. Never an issue with any but the sound systems are sub par. With my 2019 Tacoma I added a kicker key 180 amp and replaced all the factory speakers. Night and day difference! The radio is fine the power and speakers are what make it sound crappy.
Tacoma's are bulletproof trucks, no matter what year you buy.
I'm the only owner of a 05' Tacoma Pre-runner 2.7L 4cyl
5-speed manual with 243,000 miles on her.
I'm easily gonna get 500,000 miles out of her.
Only preventative maintenance done on her.
Still runs like a dream.
Plus, used tacoma's are appreciating in value.
This video was not what I was looking for. I wanted to know why offroaders are preferring the Tacoma over the Tundra. Yet I'm glad I found this page. I have been a Tundra owner since 2007. I've modified my Tundras. Yes that was plural. The first year the new 5.7 Tundra came out I bought it site unseen while coming back from Arkansas to Huntsville Texas. Based on only stats. Come to find out years later that the 2007 model was completely unrestricted. Meaning full throttle in all 6 gears. This thing was unbeatable against every other stock truck on the market. Yeah I tested it every chance I had. I was told that the new 2007 model was unrestricted to gain popularity. OH and it worked. Years after that 1st through 3rd was restricted and a speed limiter was added. I'm trying to remember all the ones I had. 2007 2x4, 2013 2x4, 2016 4x4 (wrecked), 2013 2x4 (used) then the 2019 4x4.
On the 2016 4x4 I helped K&N develop a cold air intake and did a flash tune on it. IT WAS FAST AS HELL!!!. The 2019 that I currently have I was given a cold air intake from K&N to test. It still needs a flash tune. I'm waiting on the developer to right the tune. My only problem with these trucks was wheel alignment problems. I had to have them re-aligned often. other then that I put almost 100,000.00 miles on it before trading it in. XM radio antenna was in the wrong place on the 2007 but quickly relocated it in future models. I hope this helps someone.
I have a 2008 Tundra 172000 miles, I changed the timing belt and charcoal canister during scheduled maintenance other then that no problems.
Great to hear👍
Are they expensive to keep up?
F150's have more issues than you mentioned especially 12th Gen 09'-14'! Buyers beware! You'll be fixing or repairin daily (Ford).
shrek sexy My body has the 2012 f150 xlt, still works fine. Over 120k
Knock on wood, my 2016 Tundra TRD off road has 107,000miles on it with regular maintenance, 13 mpg In town, 18mpg ( with a tail wind lol ) highway, I love it, but will love it more in 2024 when gas goes back down!
Due to a new party in office.
2007 tundra 5.7 liter V8 187k miles on the odometer. have never had any problems whatsoever and still runs like brand new. sent in oil to get checked out results came back as abnormally clean for how many miles it has. i’m very impressed with the vehicle
Nice👍
All used trucks have problems, personally I'd take the Toyota problems over the Ford 😆 I love our 2007 TRD Tundra
Farmer: I'm thinking strong and positive on an 07 Tundra TRD from a dealership. Any really good advice on clarity?
@@aredeemable1 I don't know to be honest. I'll give it some thought.
So far love my 8 tacoma. Super on back roads
My 2000 Sierra probably has bern slapping since new.. Still going strong at 160k 🤔. I just keep the radio turned up and pretend it’s the old exhaust flapper that GM used for decades.
'16 Tacoma owner here. I've had my truck since new and 95k miles later, no issues. Having the 6speed manual eliminated any shifting issues.
Great to hear 👍. Another advantage of the manual.
Thx....I just bought a 2016 tacoma with 74000 miles cause apparently consumer reports said the 2019 model had more issues than 2016 Now I see alot of videos that 2016-17 have issues ?????????
Dude. They've recalled the pedal, the leaf springs and the bed rusting. They fixed all of mine.
Nice👍
Owned 06, 07, 08, 13, 16 Tundras and 10' Taco....only issue I've ever had was a motor knock (piston slap) on the 08. Toyota fixed it under warranty. Other than this even single one has been solid as a rock.
How do you go about getting warranty work done ?
@@GBall_Vision took mine to the dealer
Why have you owned so many vehicles? I mean, you admitted that they were all solid as a rock. So.. why did you keep getting rid of them then!?
@@anthonygiordano3991 most were for my business, others for me.
@@jasonlewis995 - I was thinking.. what a waste of money, if paying out of your own pocket. But, I heard when you own a business, you can “write off” the vehicles as an expense. So, I guess that makes more sense.
Jesus was a Ford guy cause he walked everywhere he went !!!!
Ford is way better than dodge and gm. Which is saying much
My first pickup truck was a 1940 Ford half-ton that flat head V8 and a 4 Speed Stick I bought it for $75 from an 85 year old polish farmer in Wisconsin when I was 17 years old :-) I had to hock my black powder pistol at the tavern to get the 75 bucks that single carburetor Rose almost to the top of the hood with the air cleaner on it anyways then were the good old days I had a lot of old Ford flat heads everything was easy to work on even though I was just a kid with no experience I changed out four speed transmission is down by the barn myself and engines more than a few times
Those were the days👍
Well damn. I bought a 2008, all original, now major replacements on suspension, alternator, a/c compressor, etc. Costly BUT they lasted 13 years so in my mind worth it. Original owner had all updates when he purchased it new including spraying underneath, I had frame replaced. Ruby is a manual transmission, and I just had the clutch plate and all of those nitty-gritty parts. I'm still thrilled with my truck. Ruby has 225k.
How did the frame replacement go? Any issues?
@@RobMotive Absolutely no issues except for time of order to time if install as the frame came from overseas. As per usual the Toyota dealer gave me a price list for everything that was "wrong", while I'm not truck expert by any means, I learned from a very young age to research first and if it's something I can do myself I do it myself. Actually, the dealer was very helpful and, while they saw a female they presumed I was stupid, I took that list and gave it to my regular mechanic. We've been working down the list in the three years I've had Ruby (Ruby is Red😉).
Very smart! Sometimes being underestimated can be to your advantage 👍
My tacoma engine suddenly started running very loud, but then i remembered i took off the muffler.
That’ll do it😉
My 2007 Tacoma has over 300000 miles i still have the original clutch....starter is the only thing replaced..
That’s awesome 👍👍
Ford F150 years to avoid... All
Lol! There must have been one or two good years😬
But Scotty Kilmer says F-150 most reliable truck ??
@@PopovskiDarko scotty's been working on cars and trucks for 52 years, I think he knows..I've owned for chevy and dodge. For was always my fave. I haven't owned a Toyota. My wife had a scion can 5 spd that the unibody ended up rotting on the right rear, it was hidden when we got it , it was a good car, except for that we traded it in on an 09 honda fit sport 5 spd. Really good car, and has a ton of cargo room with the seats folded down
Neighbor bought a new Ford saying he’s having both electrical and transmission issues. While all his issues are being repaired under warranty, the downtime is costing him money and time. To that end, he’s also worried about what will happen when his truck goes out of warranty. He’s thinking of trading it for a used 2019-2021 Tundra.
Definitely needs to get out before the warranty ends!
2013 Tundra Rock Warrior
30,000 original miles 😊
The only complaints with my 09 I bought recently is the slip yoke keeps needing some lube and the volume knob chooses when it wants to work.
having the same radio problem...after 231,000 miles can't blame it for being worn out
I had a 2007 with the cold piston slap issue. They all might develop it eventually. GM had the same kind of problems on the Sierra and Chevy models. You just sometimes get a cylinder that was bored a smidge (talking 10 thousandths of an inch) over with a piston that came out of the cast mold a little small in diameter.
Thanks for info. I have 2006 Taundra for 15 yrs now that it went trough 3 recalls which Toyota replaced passenger air bag, check ball joints which there is no problem and check for rust that is also not apply to mine. I only paid for replaced a starter on 70000 mi Yearly low maintenance (oil change) is less $100. I rate it, low maintenance and dependable truck. I put on 80000mi so far, and I changed timing belt. I love it, made in USA
I also have a 2006 Tundra with 96,000 miles. Have you serviced your transmission yet? I don't think mine has ever been serviced and don't know when or how to do it, do I flush it or drop the pan and replace filter and fluid?
Im in the market looking for my first tundra & it makes me glad to see only good reviews about these trucks!
They are quality built and very reliable. The only ding against them is fuel economy.
My '02 tundra, V6 has 552000 mi., and counting. replaced transmission at about 265000...the IDIOT at Toyota dealership told me after about 4 tranny services that it had no filter in trans...! I told him yes it does, he argued no, then it failed. Took it to local service guy, and sure enough the filter was clogged shut. I'll never go to the dealer again for service. replaced front end at about 495000 over the years... alt once, u joints once , still running the orig power steering pump! And of course, brakes service, tires etc, basic maintenance, best money ever spent on a vehicle!
Wow! That’s great👍👍
I have an 02 v6 myself. Only have 127,000 on it. First 3 years I put 80,000 after that I just use it to get to work and run errands. Just had to replace the driver side door latch. Other than that just physical things. Painted it about 5 years ago.
2005 Tacoma most reliable Truck on earth
Nice👍
Just bought a 05 Tacoma TRD black access cab I love it . Take the crap out of the door pockets , no road noise . My radio was shutting off randomly, I discovered my hand was hitting the steering wheel radio control . All mentioned are operator error except road rust .
05 Tacoma, 1st year of the 2nd gen. I have an 06 and I feel the same way. Amazing truck and well built. I only do normal maintenance and it treats me well. I have the 4.0, 4 door, 6.5 foot bed and find it to be a very useful smaller truck
My brother in-law had a 2001 Tundra ran with no issues. He pass it down to my nephew and the truck still running strong to this day. The only thing wrong with it is it now needs new paint. I got a 2013 Tundra crew cab took it across America. From westcoast to eastcost and still running like new. Only problem so far is I had to change the left turning signal and the left break light. The thing turns on and roars like a beast all the time. With that said I also owns a silverado 1500 and a tahoe. There's too many problems to mention but when it runs it's great. The worst issues are electrical on my tahoe. No one seems to know how to fix it. So yeah Tundra by many miles.
Yep, one thing after another with 2006 Tacoma, dealership acts clueless. Now making sense. Salesman tried to warn me but couldn't believe there could be a bad Toyota. Service dept so busy, I look across the street at the Honda dealership, made me think of the Maytag repairman commercial- the loneliest repairman in town. Hondas look like a decent machine.
Got a ‘04 tundra SR5 Access 2WD TSS with 4.7 V8. Drive it up from Louisiana to Massachusetts. Also with no body rust, and the frame is in excellent condition for its age. Definitely plan on putting some work into it. Would love some recommendations.
2005 also had a problem with motor mounts collapsing into the frame, it was redesigned after that to be stronger.
on tundra or tacoma?
@@connor3288 Tacoma
2016 Tacoma Ted sport came without a key for the tailgate. It cost you around $400 to change the cylinder and two set of keys
I had a ‘12 5.7L Tundra with the Cam Tower leak. This was covered under the factory 5/60K powertrain, thank goodness. Unfortunately it’s not a “recognized” recall by Toyota and some aren’t as lucky as me. Traded it for an ‘18 and am happy I offloaded it.
Great that you were able to have it covered! I’ve seen many complaints about the tower😬
@@RobMotive It’s not bad to fix if you have some mechanical inclination and proper tools
I have a 2000 tundra 280,000 miles. I’ve put brakes, starter, and a u joint on it. I have a Chevy but love driving my tundra. I forgot a couple sets of tires.
That’s great👍
How much did it cost you labor to replace the starter. I heard its very hard
In 48 years of various truck ownerships, my 2010 Tacoma has been the most reliable of them all. My frame was replaced by Toyota. Not a big deal. It took two days to do the job and they gave me a loaner 2018 Tacoma (I lie my 2010 better btw). Just regular maintenance stuff.
Great to hear. 👍
Wow, i didn’t know these Tacomas have these issues. I have a 2005 Tacoma Prerunner for over 18 years. It has 200k miles and I tow a 2k pound cargo trailer daily. I haven’t had any issues except two minor problems: recently, I noticed a small engine oil leak near the power steering pump, and the compass on the overhead console is dead. If the situation calls for another Tacoma, I would certainly buy another low mileage used Tacoma.
Recently turned a 2012 for a 2023 Tacoma that had a Whistle somewhere on the front could never find it but it only did it at around 75+ it would drive you nut going on a long trip
That would drive me crazy too😬
Bought a 2021 Tacoma SR5 3 weeks a go and I am loving it. My paint won't fade with a coat of wax every month in my sunny state of Florida. :D
Very nice! Congrats 👍
lol we'll see how religious you are about waxing every month after year one. it is a truck after all.
No mention of cam tower oil leaks in the Tundra?
Nope, no mention 🤔
Those are a pain to fix. Common issue.
I’ve heard that as well😬
I have a 05 Toyota Tundra with 260K miles. The only problem I've had was a chipped rear axle that caused me to have it rebuilt 3 or 4 times, at a cost of about $400 each time. We finally found the defect and replaced the axle so hopefully it won't happen again. Other than that, the truck has only had normal stuff to deal with - so expect it to last my kid for the next 4 years or so. Oh - only other thing is the door check broke off from the driver door, which I think is a common Toyota problem. I think it will be worth a few hundred bucks to have something welded to the door, so I don't lose it in a big wind....
I had a Dodge Ram 1500 several years ago. Within a couple months of buying it new, the paint on the front of the truck started peeling off in big sheets. Chrysler denied the warranty by saying that dead bugs on the front of the truck caused it because bugs are acidic. I drove to the front of the dealership and went in and talked to the sales manager. He and a few other sales people came outside to see it and were shocked that Chrysler voided my paint warranty. The dealer paid to repair it out of his pocket (at their body shop). I’ve never had to test a Toyota warranty, knock on wood.
Wow! That’s absurd! At least the dealership took care of it👍
I will avoid Chevy Silverado for the rest of my life. I had one with 60 k head blow gasket and no air conditioning .
Wow! I get why you’d stay away from them!!😬
Yeah F**k chevy have a Silverado with 33,000 miles on it and warranty expired in November and the motor and blew in December and chevy will not own up to it even though there's a class action against them for this problem. Fuck em.
I will avoid all domestics for the rest of my life. Had trouble with all the big three
Imagine have a vw golf with 26,000k miles on it and getting a blown head gasket...
That would be a drag. Hope it’s under warranty 😬
Rob oh boy you mentioned Ford look out the trolls will be lurking
Lol!! Prob so!!😬
Last week I just got my frame replaced on my 2009 Tacoma. The surprising part is that I got the notice 3 years ago! It’s been a long journey. I had bought the truck used. It was abused as a child. The 1st year it went in many times for different things. I was beginning to wonder why I bought it. The past few years weren’t so bad. It’s got 318,000 km. on it. In Canada 🇨🇦 eh?
My 2018 Taco Off Road had the standard AT performance issues- sluggishness and unnecessary gear hunting. Just traded for a 2021. Same exact package but they addressed the AT issues. No more complaints.
Great to hear👍👍
Toyota's quality is going down hill for many years now
I’d say they are still very good...just not what it used to be😐
Thanks. For the vid i recently in december 2019 traded my 2005 tundra in on a 2014 1794 edition , my 05 had 213000 miles on it lots of towing ,and yes after 200000 miles the CEL came on and replaced a whole lot of sh...t and never did replace the air thingy that may have been the culprit ,any it ran great and got 5k on the trade ,We are lexus and toyota fans ,they have always been good us up until that 200000 mile mark and i will trade or sell my 1794 before that ,just to avoid the same issues , id love to get a million miles on one but my wallet doesnt thanks again
Thanks for watching Robert 👍
2008 Tundra, best vehicle I have owned. 220k trouble free miles.
Nice👍
I have a 2017 tundra...only prob so far was a battery...thats normal..it has 44k miles so far
This is BS I have always own Tacoma’s never had big issue at all Toyota takes care of the recalls.. my Tacoma is 15 yrs old and runs like a champ
Nothing is fully encompassing. Obviously yours had done well👍
Will Toyota take care of the issues if I buy a used tundra?
They should if it’s a recall👍
@@Botanifiles they may offer a recall, but they only allow it for a certain amount of time. I have a 2001 tacoma and they had a recall on the frame, but when I contacted them about it then toyota wouldn't honor the recall because they said it was outside of the recall window.
so half the video was about ford f150s, when I wanted 2nd gen Tacoma info
I’m not sure you chose the right video🤔
The only issues for the 1st gen tundra are the Lower Ball joints & tailgate hatch. I own a 2005 Limited Double Cab 140k & a 2003 Extra Can SR5 with 284k. These trucks are bullet proof. Just replace the timing belt at around 100k and the lower ball joints with OME parts & they should easily last over 400k with regular maintenance.
Just bought a '15 Tacoma Sport 4x4 a few weeks ago. Only had 8k miles on it. Like new condition
Nice👍
