- Used Toyota Tundra Buying Guide. 2nd Gen Tundra buying advice.
Used truck buying advice for the 2nd Gen Toyota Tundra. This is most comprehensive and complete buyer's guide on the XK50 2007-2020 Toyota Tundra. Introduced in the 2007 model year, the 2nd gen Tundra was much bigger than its predecessor, was available with a massive 5.7L V8 producing 381 horsepower, and finally had the specifications and hardware to compete with the big 3 American trucks, the F-150, Ram, and Silverado / Sierra.
This video begins by discussing why Toyota decided to finally build a true Full-Size Tundra to replace the smaller 1st gen Tundra, its history and development. Next, we cover the exterior and interior styling, the 1gr v6 and 2UZ / 2UR and 3UR v8 engines available, a quick overview of the transmissions available, the options and trim levels available, common problems, and finally the aftermarket support. The video provides in-depth knowledge that covers everything you've ever wanted to know about the 2nd gen Toyota Tundra from 2007 to 2020.

Every brand builds a truck that is really nice and will serve most people well up to 100k miles with minimal headaches. Where Toyota shines brighter than anyone is after 100k miles. The amount of r&d they put into all of their components is just unmatched and they don't try to reinvent the wheel, thats why this model has been in production for 14 years.
That's exactly it. And if your a guy like me, you can't afford brand new.. So when you looking used Toyota and Cummins diesel is the only options if wanna be half way sure 150k miles doesn't mean it's about to blow something that will be thousands to fix. My taco has 300k... Running strong. NEVER a single repair, only a replaced starter, ignition and 1 timing belt. That's it... Woulda still been running just fine if I didn't get rear ended....:(
This is literally the most reliable truck on the road today.
Besides the frame recall its reliable.
Scott W. At least they did a recall unlike the domestic trucks.
Agree
Agreed! I have a 2013 with an 8 in lift. 140k miles... ZERO PROBLEMS ❤
What year was that??? It’s reliable but they eat brakes and rotors. Had a 13 put 110k on it. They like the fuel pump too. I know I know reliable but it’s not 2009 anymore. Full size trucks can get 20+ mpgs. Yota won’t update till what 2022 now? It’s an old design and it needs a major redo. Buy one used and don’t be afraid of 100k. Water pumps were weak in the early years.
Owned pickups for nearly 30s years.
Family was loyal to Fords, primarily, with the occasional Dodge mixed in.
I have personally owned all the brands, except for Honda (Ridgeline) and ran gassers and diesel.
Purchased my first Tundra last year, and I really don't know if the others will offer something comparable to steal my business away from Toy.
Am purchasing another Tundra soon for a side hustle I'm starting, and there wasn't even a second considering other rigs. Overbuilt and they just work. That 5.7 is legit.
Million mile trucks
No chill, go back to Ford's they ask for u, leave the Tundras to me 😎
Would u rather get a truck named the best selling truck 43 years straight or the most dependable for 5 years straight? I'd go toyota.
I have a silver 07 SR5, double cab 4WD 5.7. An absolute dream.
I keep my 2005 Tundra three hundred thousand miles on it with no problems the best truck
That’s crazy how I you just dropped this vid And I’m in the process of buying a 2010 crew cab right now love the vid
Same here , just bought a 14 double cab
You won't regret it. If your secondary air goes out. Usually around 160,000 to 200,000. For $160.00 I bought a secondary air bypass kit form Hewitt tech. It was a little tricky to install but it got me out of low power mode. I have the 5.7 motor in the 2008 with 196,000. And it's a tank.
Definitely buy it if you haven't already, I got a 2011 a few months ago, I unfortunately got in a high way accident and had to replace the radiator, may have a cracked head but I've driven it 15,000 miles without any engine lights or issues driving
Your vids helped me decide on the truck I wanted. Just got a 2016 tundra and its like new....i love it
You got a great truck - congrats!
Love my 2010 RCSB TRD 5.7 with only 40k miles and has never seen a winter still looks new.
Thank you very much for putting this together!
I just bought one brand new in September 2021 limited trd off road. For the money you can't find a better truck. Truly satisfied.
That thing will last forever.
Cant wait to have 1 million miles on my baby 😍
Side note. I've hauled 10,000 LB loads with zero issues.
What your snap
3 million mile tundras now
The Toyota tundra 4x4 platinum is my next vehicle. I love the tundra.
My only complaint about my 2017 crew max 4x4 Tundra is the seats! Every small drop of water leaves a stain. I constantly clean them but if that’s my only issue, than I’m doing great. Had it about 4 months and love it! First Toyota purchase and no regrets!
Yeah just got one and I noticed the same thing. Definitely getting some nice seat covers
Seat covers!
Great freaking video
I recently bought my first Toyota truck, and I love it. It feels like a Ford. The inside looks like a Ford, except where ever they could have put a storage compartment, they did, and that's Japanese efficiency.
I have the tundra 2012 rock warrior crew cab and I love it.
I have a 2013 trd off road and love it aswell. 👍
Look up “Timing Chain Tensioner Rattle” and watch those videos. I wish Toyota would own up to this common issue on the driver side. The 5.7 in our 2016 Sequoia Platinum is rattling at 70k just out of warranty. Most guys are saying it can cost upward of $4,500 and at least $2,000 to fix. We’ve serviced it on schedule with our dealer so we are very very disappointed. The fix is too complex and involved for me to do alone and will take 14 hours to rip up the engine.
I love my 2010 double cab sr5 tundra.
This is a great video series. Thanks. Can you do one for Acura?
I had oil around my cam tower seals so I cleaned it off to check, and so far after a couple months, it has remained completely clean. So I suppose it's a spill. 120k miles, 2013 going strong
Love my 18 Tundra TRD Sport.
TRD - SPORT to me , is the best looking tundra .
sr5 trim is good enough for me
On top it is 4x4
I picked the sr5 trd - sport package over any f 150 , gmc , chevy , ram, titan .
I’m upset at myself I never should’ve sold my 2018 TRD sport. I put a 3/2 lift on that truck with bigger tires aftermarket wheels. I never should’ve sold
good thing i only am interested in the first gen
Where did this info in the video come from? Would like to see more from 2014 up.
Toyota 5.7 is the best!! All vehicles will rust if it snows a lot. I live in a desert and my truck has no rust.
Not so much the snow as it is the ice melt and salt that corrodes the heck out of everything.
My 2008 5.7l tundra has been the most reliable truck ive ever owned. I would highly recommend getting one
No
Yep I agree totally! My 2008 5.7 has been the best reliable vehicle I have ever owned and the things they mentioned that went out have not happened to mine. I have 130 thousand and I have never had to take it to a mechanic not once
@@johnduran4949 exactly. I drive mine about 135 miles a day to work. So mine has about 195k. I bought it and it has 125k and I've never had to do anything to it besides just the regular maintenance 🤷♂️
@@brandonpayne8433 how’s the truck going any issues ?
420,000 on my 08’ 5.7
I am on my 4rd tundra.
Best truck ever. NO V6
I like my 07 tundra
H20 pump fails at around 50K miles? From Toyota, did I hear that right????
I think tundras refresh was way better then tacomas, I would go for either tacoma but tundra the new one looks a whole lot better then the 2007 we’ll not better but more up to date so prettier to the eye
GM tbi iron head motors 500k km+.
Vortec 200k km , LS motors 300k km .
Both have piston slap , cold knocking , injection and sensor failures.
Both also have a multitude of intake and head gasket failures.
GM hasn't built a simple reliable engine since the mid 90s.
The iforce 5.7 isn't hard on fuel considering it puts out similar power of a 7.4l big block and reliably.
I bought a 2014 Tundra about 2 months ago. People keep asking me if it is a new Tundra. They are shocked when I tell them the year. I agree that the design has been very appealing in the gen 2.I have had some issues, they all have been very minor! I have enjoyed fixing them. My brother has a 2007, the only thing he has had to fix is a blend door.
Yeah my 2015’s water pump went out at 75k miles
Do these issues exist on 2019 models? I’m thinking of purchasing a 2019 SR5 4x4 model.
Pretty minor issues especially compared to other brands new vehicles
Instead of locking out at 999,999miles it should say CONGRATULATIONS or Congrats or Congrat if they have a letter number limit.
Idk if I should get one I’m currently looking at a 2014 tundra with 145k but it was a corporate car so I am not quite sure how it was treated most of the service history on car fax is very brief:/
Did you buy it? If you did how is it so far? Plus how much were they asking for it?
I have a 2013 with an 8 in lift.. 140k miles... no issues! Love that truck... his name is big red😍
Jamie Jarosz thanks for replying bro, do you mind me asking if you bought it brand new or used? If so how many miles did u have on it?
@@fcdallas7137 hey! I did buy it new. I put a bds lift on it at 30k miles... i love this truck! By the way, I'm a gal :)
Rust or no rust i would take Tundra over any of the domestic junk throw away trucks that will leave you broke down on side of the road. There are three Tundras with over a million miles on each of them.
They don’t rust any worse than anything else
Found On Road Dead - Ford
Fix Or Repair Daily - Ford
they're made in Texas, lol
Anyone else hate the secondary air injection system on these trucks though? Sends the truck to limp mode
i am thinking of buying 2020 tundra 1794 edition, any thoughts?
I think it's a nice, reliable truck. Go for it!
Do it get the TRD pro I got the 19 pro myself n love it
Gas pigs, but very very reliable.
You know you'll probably get bored with that 2020 Toyota Tundra 1794 edition. In15 or 20 years it'll still be going strong. Without any issues or recalls and you'll walk out and look at it and say maybe I ought to get rid of this thing.
Get a 2018. You get the best for value... it also has the trans Cooler which the 2019+ model years don’t have
The First gen tundra was better than the 2nd gen in my opinion. The 2nd gens that went over a million miles had the first gens 4.7 2UZFE that was only offered in 2007.
There is a 2nd generation 5.7 that has over a million now. First gen. Didn't have 5.7.
Why in the hell would they not sell that concept truck. The ramp and Gen. I'm buying. Lol
Why no diesel package?
They were looking to put the Cummins motor into a Tundra but Nissan ending up paying more and taking it for their new Titans. Toyota might be working on a HD Tundra in the future.
Just for the record, the cloth used on the seats, is used by every manufacturer, and has been for several years. It is awful, and someone needs to step up, and end it's usage. I am an auto body repairman, and i have been complaining about this fabric in cars and trucks, for years. It also starts to tear much sooner than fabrics from the past.
I have a 2011 2ndgen tundra with cloth seats. I'm lucky because the material used is the the same as the 1 generation fabric. It cleans very easily and with 100k it still looks brand new.
I'll agree, it feels very synthetic like and is not comfortable at all. Feels very cheap but that's the way every manufacturer is going
check for the dreaded '''cam tower oil leak'' before buying...
dc53 Sure beats seized turbos
I bought a 2012 with 115k miles. Didn’t know about this issue until after. Checked it, it just has a little oil staining and residue that’s all hopefully
20 ft??? That's the length of a semi....
The frames rust :lol:. I looked at an 08 and it was pathetic. The rest of the truck looked nice. Oh, and the PO tried to get frame replacement and toyota just sprayed it with something. It looked very ratty.
alb12345672 dealerships normally don’t want to do it, you’ll have to call corporate to get things done, Toyota will take care of its customers
You know domestic trucks rust just as bad right?
They only rust in states where you have a lot of snow and ice.
The box frame doesn’t have a good way to drain fluids and etc, its great for strength, but not so good for longevity, toyota remedied it with the newer tundras and tacomas, i think 2019+ they switched to open frames like the big 3, now they arent as strong, but will drain and prevent rust.
@Ackj 375718 that sucks. On the bright side, they are stronger.
Why stop at 381 HP/401 ft. lbs? Lets stick a turbine engine in there to get 1,000+HP/1,500+ft.lbs....
Lets double up....gas is cheap...
Oh, forget gas......just use diesel or heating oil (kerosene).....just have the heating oil man pulls up and fills up the back yard tank....275 gallons...and that should last a couple of trips..
Is a tundra no is a Dodge ram 👀😬😬😬😕😱😁 hahaha always was concerned the Dodge copy .... Is a Durango noooo is a sequia hahaha
And in 2022 they screwed up the whole truck!
Ues
Double cab ugly as ****
too bad
no more work trucks reg cab
now these are loaded to the max and cost a fortune
