  • Toyota Tundra Long Term Reliability Problems (Surprising)
    If you’re considering a 2007 to 2021 Toyota Tundra, you’re going to benefit from the information in this video. The second generation Tundra was produced for the 2007 model year and the truck stayed relatively unchanged, at least mechanically until it was replaced with the 2022 model. The Toyota Tundra is an extremely dependable truck but there are some problems that you should be aware of before buying one as they can cost thousands of dollars to fix.

    2017 was by far the best year. Still has the trans cooler, has the big fuel tank, less electronics like radar and lane departure, the fuel pump was simpler, the 2018 and up windshield is $2500 because of the radar.

After 3 months and 137k miles, timing chain and tesioners needed replacing, also valve cover oil seepage, small coolant leak, frozen bolt in accessory belt tensioner. Truck dealer serviced since new, no rust, no accidents, was a CPO around 2018. Cost of repair w OEM parts, $3500 cash price.

    Yup got rid of my 2015 Pro due to Cam Tower leaks, alcohol density calculator issues, two failed transfer case actuators and 2 sets of warped rotors(even the Z36 Power Stop kit). My first 07 went through two radiators and two water pumps before 115k, and has Secondary Air Injection Pump failure. Engine in my 07 was way stronger than my 2015 too. Hoping for better luck with my 23 Limited Hybrid.

    I bought a used 2008 w/5.7L and 64K. I'm at around 200K miles. I've replaced the secondary air injection, radiator, starter, and ignition switch. This has totaled about $5K (all in the last year) and I feel like I'm ready for another 200K miles. All common problems and if I would have gotten in on the extended warranty, I wouldn't have had to pay for the secondary air injection replacement, which was $2500.

    You are missing a few issues evaporator coil if it goes out the whole dash has to be removed the cost is anywhere from 2k to 3k depending on the shop about 12 to 16 hours of labor. Valve cover oil leaks not too bad to replace they are known to go out around the 215k to 230k mark. Starters and AC compressors and Alternators all are a PITA to replace. These are things to watch out for if you are buying and older one or own an older one. I have an 07 and its one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. One last thing Tundra's have some of the easiest brakes of any vehicle to replace also slotted rotors is one of the best investments I made truck can stop on a dime now.

    My 2016 Crewmax w/ 5.7 has over 140k on it thus far.
    The fuel tank's rollover valve sticks, but a couple of long zip ties from Harbor Freight allow me to tap it back open prior to gassing up, ( versus about $3k for a new fuel tank 🤬 ) and the center console covering coming undone, which $26 for a new cover and $12 for industrial grade contact cement resolved that issue, ( versus $500 + for a whole new plastic cover. 😲) Some smaller issues like swollen lugnuts, ( a unheard of issue to me🤔 ) and a headlight that went out have been the only other issues.
    Otherwise, my Tundra has been relatively trouble-free so far.

    I have a 2016...bought it in 2021 with 59k. Had a slight trans issue that i didn't recognize until about a month of owning it. I've had it serviced twice, once at 60k and again at 101k...the issues are worse and yet no codes. Rpms rev high while turning slow around corners and in parking lots, and it bumps when LIGHTLY picking up speed ( from having to slow down for traffic) at around 32/33mph. I'm looking at about $5,500 for a built one from the dealer. I've had it looked at by 2 separate shops and of course it drives perfectly fine with someone else in the truck.

    • @chrisdrives8204
      @chrisdrives8204  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @johnadams247 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @chrisdrives8204 just over 2k rpm...not crazy high but still seems like it shouldn't. I've had several full-sized trucks and this is the first one that's done this.
      Actually just got back last week from a cross country trip with it, where I towed my sons 13 Jetta on a uhaul transporter from South eastern NC out to Bremerton Washington and it towed like a champ. Super impressed with the torque and power but the moment we slow down and get into traffic it starts acting up.
