Yup, I have 2 2008 Tundra's, the one I bought new has 250k, the other I bought because my wife said I needed a new truck, so I came across one at an auction, was a repo with 4 slashed tires, covered in mud and didn't run. got it for $2650 because nobody wanted to bid on it, threw on 4 spares, gave it a bath and quickly found out the cretin pulled out the main fuses, cut them and put them back in before the repo man came. literally cost me 10 bucks to get it running. Now I have a spare with 230k, and it runs like new. Wife was pissed because she wanted me to have a prettier truck, not a more reliable one, still no payments, she's not happy.
Just popped outside the house, looked at my tundra and said, I know we only known each other for little while now. 800 miles is a short amount of time to know each other. But I want you to know that I love you, I will never leave you🥺
I had a coworker ask to borrow my Taco to get some wood, I told him to go to the bank and get a loan for 30k and get his own truck and then he could get all the wood he wants.
I will only get the 2021 if it has had a complete makeover and if they did something different with the engine as if some of the rumors have been saying. If the 2021 is just a rough refresh same old song and dance with the engine and I'll get a 2020 and save a bunch of cash
I own a 2019 toyota tundra I had let my wife drive my truck a few times. I pray everytime she leaves the driveway Not for the wife but for my truck to come back safe to me with no dents or scratches!😁
It doesn't matter if he has an extended warranty or not because Toyota has a standard 60,000 mile powertrain warranty so it should be covered under the factory warranty as long as regular interval maintenance was done.
GR, Thanks for the info. Like you said I hope that Toyota does the RIGHT thing in finding the root cause & replacing the whole engine. Please keep us updated!
My bros 2003 sr5 tacoma 2wd with 74k miles thru a rod in 2015.... most meticulous oil changer/maintenance guy I know.... had the bulletproof 3.4l engine too. Just bad luck man. Only guy in hawaii I know it ever happened to. Dealer has no idea why. Threw in a used one with 100k miles and still running like a top today.
My neighbor has one and it had 17k miles on it and the motor detonated on the highway. The hole in the motor was big enough to put my head in. He uses it like a car, doesn’t tow anything with it. He is in his 60’s and drives it super easy.
Toyota like most vehicles are actually pretty good vehicles. Issues can happen with any manufacturer or any one or two vehicles. I sure hope they take care of them.....
Just admit you only like Toyota dork! I have owned others and had the same luck as my toyotas. It comes down to maintaince. Plus your asian makes are good at not recalling and doing a service builitin were the dealer fixes things when the rig comes in for service. They often say we have to do an update but never tell you there was something wrong. It is sibjective on which car or which truck you like. Plenty of decent not toyota stuff out there too!
@Jess W i am sure if Ford, Chevy and Dodge would stay behind with their technology and engine just like Tundra does and not update nothing for past 15 years or so their vehicles would go hand in hand with Tundra reliability.
I dont own a Tundra yet but I have a Tacoma with a 4.0 l V6. I am closing in on 100 000 miles. I changes the oil myself or sometimes the dealer. I change the oil every 5000 miles. I drive the snot out of my truck...i cannot kill this motor so far. Have towed a 4000 pound camper across Canada and back. It just does not quit. I know of several people with early Ecoboost engines with failed timing chains...rarely do i hear about engine failure in a Toyota. Toyota may not be perfect...but damn close.
Any Toyota I own didn’t make it a long time. I had an 01 Camry and at 91k the engine stalled and locked the steering wheel and I crashed in on the freeway. Then got a 2007 Camry and at 38k the transmission lost all gears except 1st gear and over rev the engine and blew 4 out of 6 pistons out the block. Then got a 2013 Tacoma and at 54k it started to consume oil like it was nothing. Took it in to get fixed and they wanted 4K to get fixed. Traded that in for a 2014 4Runner and at 30k the starter went out and it was having electrical problems with the radio and headlights. That was my last Toyota i will own. My grandparents have an 2015 highlander and that’s in the shop getting a new transmission at 35k. Even my uncles 2018 Corolla is getting a new CVT transmission at 10k. Just Toyota’s for my family haven’t been good at all. Well except for my grandpas 1994 pickup. That’s still running at it has 130k on it.
My buddies at work just bought a new 2019 Tacoma heard a knock at 4K miles took it in they replaced the block. It shocked the hell out of me they had the same responses never seen that before. I told him if he had good luck like that bad luck he would have struck the lotto! Once in a very great while it happens with all of the most reliable brands!
Thanks for the story, Gear. He was so nice to let those folks use his Tundra. Toyota will take care of him and he will end up with a nice vehicle with 0 miles on the engine.
Sorry to hear that, I bought my truck new in 2010 and it has 42,000 miles. I dont drive it is in my garage looks new. However, during a service maintenance at toyota another customer had a 08 with 396,000 miles and had no issues at all. I LOVE MY TRUCK!
2008 Tundra, 175k miles. Same dealer has serviced the entire time. Last service, the service writer thought the truck only had 60k miles. It's in such great shape.
First time I drove my tundra (first vehicle) I had it in s instead of drive on accident but I didnt go over 40 and before I got on the freeway I realized it and fixed it
It's good this story is shared. I keep hearing about the million mile Tundra all the time and how Tundra is the most reliable truck out there. However, having seen one or two on the side of the road, I'm personally under the impression that any vehicle given its due maintenance, will be reliable. Its just some require more maintenance than others.
if one of every 10k produced go bad, then the odds are very good. cant take this one in particular as you entire case against a truck with a reputation like Tundras. it could have been anything. wrong engine oil used on last service. hard to tell from one single case.
@@kanh1749 I'm not citing this that the reason for stating Tundra is a bad truck. That would be stupid. I've witnessed other issues with the truck as well. I've stopped to assist a couple of Tundra drivers suddenly stranded on the side of the road with a confused look on their face; can't quite figure out how the truck suddenly had electrical failure. I like the Tundra (not the new one). I think it was one of the best looking trucks that were out there. However my beef is with the Toyota brand / company itself. I get the feeling that the brand is resting on the reputation of reliability that it has built over the years and is now over-charging their customers for stuff that in many cases is substandard. Take the infotainment. In every Toyota the infotainment is a horrible mess and people here have started switching the units for those Chinese Android ones. How bad does the standard one have to be for the Chinese to be better? You certainly get a lot more for your money when you choose another brand over Toyota. Are you getting something less reliable? I don't think so.. not if you did your research. It is just some brands require more precision and care when it comes to maintenance than others. And that is my point. I don't find Toyotas absolutely reliable or more reliable than any other brand. I keep thinking that the brand is just using the rep to overcharge their customers. IMO.
@@007Knightjp i have owned tundras the last 15 years. My current one is a 2008 with 200k on the books. Still running like a champ. So should we take mine as a prime example of how good they are or just look at the anomalies? Tundras are not built to be iPads on wheels, they are built to last. The new 2022 is taking a stab a current market trend but I think they will soon regret it. If you want a cockpit on your truck, then Ram1500 is your truck. Just be aware that in 5-6 years you will be spending a lot of time at the shop. Guaranteed! Hence the appreciation your vehicle will suffer.
@@kanh1749 You're missing my point. My point is that any truck will be solid as long as you give it the right maintenance and I don't think that we should Tundras (or any Toyota) on the pedestal; which I see many owners seem to be doing. If you think that Tundras are the only trucks that can reach a million miles, think again. I'm sure that there are plenty of Chevys, Fords & Rams that have done similar and are still going strong. They just don't shout about it over the internet. My first Ram had been rock solid for 7 years; right until I "rammed" someone on a highway. #LongStory. When looking at a replacement, I looked at Tundras, but none were in my price point. They were all too expensive for what they were. #ToyotaTax. I looked at Chevys and those were good. For the budget, there were 1st Gen Raptors, but I wanted a truck that can haul a load when required. I ended up with another 2014 Ram 1500; which still has a better interior and infotainment than even the 2019 Tundra. For one, the driver's door does have a grab handle. #JustSaying
Just a fluke! I'm now on my 5th Toyota truck! Never an issue with any of them in almost 30 years! 1991 Pickup, 2002, 2005, Tacoma, 2007 Tundra, 2019 Tacoma. My favorite was my first, just the plain Jane 4 banger standard cab 22RE motor 5 speed. No power anything, not even AC! Simple, 240K miles and still ran like a clock when I sold it!
btvr17 exactly! I worked a lot of car lines worked at toyota for 12 years and own nothing but toyo since 02,,,, 94 pickup, 95 Camry, 04 sequoia, 07 Corolla, my sister has 12 tundra, 15 highlander, then traded highlander in for 16’ sequoia.....
Have you heard about the problems with the 2016-2018 Titan 5.6 gassers? Apparently, the #5 and #7 cylinders don’t get proper lubrication, and it starts to make a lot of racket. Nissan won’t do a recall, they will just replace the short block, with no warranty extension...glad I went with a 2017 Tundra Limited.
thumperpaul absolutely. Bough a brand new Titan 2017. After the second motor begin knocking, I trade in my Titan. Have a brand new Tundra since 3 weeks!
jacktravis75 good choice, you will be way happier with the Tundra. I can’t believe Nissan dropped the ball again with the Titan, as the first generation models were absolute garbage, with little or no support from the manufacturer.
Have a '00 Tacoma V6 w/ 180k miles runs like it did on day 1. And a '12 Tundra 4.6 V8 w/ 70k miles 95% towing 7000 lb trailer and still pulling strong. Both amazing trucks! " Let's Go Places"!
@@KiKitutorials1 oh really thanks for the heads up. I guess you are right. I had 2, 1 with 200k miles no problem and my wife's. Dropped in another motor on hers, has 100k on it since installed, running mint still, ac is still kicking. Damn motor was $1,500 with 90k miles on it too. Dunno why it's still so prized with that issue?!
If the guy has the aftermarket third party 'Warranty Forever' then he is probably the first and only claim they approved. That particular warranty is true trash. It requires all maintenance to be done at the original dealership. If you get any work done at another dealership, you have to call 'Warranty Forever ' to get pre-authorization. If you fail to do that, the warranty can be voided. If the warranty is from Toyota, then that's a different ball game.
@@gearrunner You guys probably got a solid warranty. 'Warranty Forever' is a aftermarket warranty brand that some dealerships use as a selling point. Kinda like 'Car Shield'. But its horrible. Google it whenever you get a chance. Good video
Man that’s crazy. Probably glad he got that lifetime warranty. Shows you any of these modern vehicles can break, just wouldn’t think a Tundra would go down like that. You think there is more to the story?
It was a really interesting experience buying my Tundra (used at that) here in Canada. The dealership treated me like or better than I was buying a new one, I even haggled on the price. Took it for its first oil change since I had it (has 52,000kms or 32,000 miles) and the place inspecting it for me pulled all the filter and they were spotless. They even called me up to make sure everything was good about a month later. Think I'll trade my commuter Mitsubishi in for a Tacoma next.
It's like rare eye colour, never heard of having a issue on Toyota this early. I drive a 05 4Runner SR5 178k miles, engine is strong. But suspension needs work other than that solid.
Man that is surprising!!! The Wife's 4Runner went 280,000 and was still running fine when she found a 4x4 Tacoma in Dune or Sand whichever. I've got the Tundra TRD 5.7 2016 and I'm really happy with it! Before that I had the FJ that was fantastic offroad!!! Before that a couple of Tacomas dating back to 98 the 98 had the TRD blower on it. I've owned Chevys,Fords and a GMC....Nothing comes close to Toyota quality.
I beat the crap out of my 2014 tundra 5.7 10 to 12k mile oil changes, air filters every 20k miles or so. about half of the miles were pulling a skid steer. Rarely used the brakes I would just downshift in traffic. I honestly thought I would have broken the truck in the 135k miles I put on it, but it never once had a hiccup. When I finally sold it to a guy I know the bed was caved into the back of the cab, had holes in the bed floor, was on the 5th set of tires. Anyways the truck is still running strong and has like 300k miles on it now.
Toyota usually takes care of their customers like no one else. That is why I have stuck with them. They always took care of my Fj cruiser and now I hope they do the same with my Tundra.
You can change your own oil without voiding warranty. You just need to keep receipts for all oil and filters and a detailed log of when you service everything.
I have a 2010 with 270,000 miles on it I to my 20’ cargo trailer loaded all the time I have driven it all over the US and it’s my main camping and off road adventure vehicle. I buy Toyota because of there reliability, but for anyone to think that nothing will ever happen to even one truck is crazy. I would definitely say this was 1 in a million. Anyways I hope your buddy gets his truck back and never has an issue again.
Had a similar issue with my '01 3.4 Tundra. I had my oil changed by dealer at 40,000 miles, #1 dipstick jockey cross threaded the filter, goodbye engine. After several discussion, and the threat of legal action on my part, the dealer assumed responsibility and replaced the engine. I'm still driving the truck on a daily basis, but now I do my own oil changes. Between the two engines the truck is only at 160,000 miles. Had a '86 Long Bed, 5-Speed until 360,000 miles, still running good, just needed kid room.
I have an 2007 tundra crewmax and my engine blew up at 125,000 miles. Had another Toyota engine with 60k miles put back in it. I still would never own any other truck other then Toyota.
It is normally cheaper just to replace the whole engine. I used to be an entry level tech in the day and had a friend who was an engine tech when I worked at a chrysler dealer. They normally don't try to save or repair something like that it ends up costing more money or have potential issues down the road.
Got 2006 with the 4.7 with 203,000 on it , it runs like a dream , also had a 99 4Runner with the 3.5 liter and I got 380,000 out of it before I sold it , it was still running good too.
I'm curious to find out if it was related to the notorious cam tower leak that's plagued the 5.7L since it's inception in 2007. I was reading a Tundra forum post where a gentleman had posted pictures of used Tundras on a Toyota lot, out of the 6 he took pictures of with less than 50k miles, 4 of them had cam tower leaks.
@@billybob042665 I got sideswiped and the dumb driver hit my drivers front tire and all the way down the door . My insurance would not cover it , "because it was not part of the accident." Which I'm 90% sure that it was. No sign leaking , truck drove straight as a arrow . I don't off road and don't abused my truck .
My buddy was a Toyota Mechanic for 20 years. I used to visit him often at the dealership, I never saw a motor being pulled. Once they were doing a head gasket. My other friend at the Ford dealership, every time I went in there, a motor was on the hook.
My Tundra has 240,000 and I have never had a problem yet hopefully I do not ever I've done all the updates on the hundred thousand mile like water pump and all that I get it serviced when it's time and I change my own oil it takes nine and a half quarts at least mine does. It's cheaper to buy to oil changes. I love my Tundra don't think I'll ever go back to any other truck.
Wrong oil weight in crankcase or some additive can cause big problems, when the recommended oil weight is 0/20 don't add anything else. Some think you need to add a heavier weight for towing, don't do it. Don't know if that's the issue, but, it's a thought.
Sounds like after that long drive, truck sat for several days while they were on their cruise. Chances are that new oil filter clogged or failed and stopped oil flow into the motor. they come back and drive 20 miles with no oil... boom, truck is done.
I’ve slung a rod twice- In trucks that had recent oil changes, but... They had several hundred thousand miles and were “wore slap out”. 1987 Mazda B2000 pickup- 2006 Chevy Express van- We routinely ran the LS motors in the Express vans way over 550,000 miles and still sold them running and driving from $1,500-$3,500...
I had a 95 Ram,, bright red, the motor blew after filling the tank at a gas station. It had 508 miles on it. It took the dealership one month to decide what they were going to do. Told me to come out an pick out a new truck. I had installed extra parts on the old one wanted my money for those before I would sign the paperwork. We fought back an forth till I won. The next truck I brought it back because of steering problems, then to find out all the bolts in the front were loose. Needless to say I won't buy another one.
My 2008 tundra went through 2 transmissions with not even 48000 thousand miles but it had warranty because I bought it brand new so they replace it for free after that it was good the transmission wasn't going out it had a tick when I would accelerate but that was about it so maybe somebody has had the same problem
I bought a 2007 tundra with the 5.7 and 70k miles. Clean one owner. At about 85k, a valve spring broke and the keeper didn’t prevent the valve from dropping. I can empathize with your buddy. Wish I would have had a warranty. Replacing an engine isn’t cheap and toyota wouldn’t do a thing to help me.
My heart is broken for your buddies/friend tundra! My tundra is a 1794 Edition 2017 and i'm under 22,000 miles because I hardly use it. I usually have it stored away and safe from any danger. I need to use it to prevent something like this from happening. I hope your buddy/friend gets the best solution because i know i would be devastated if this happen to me.
I also have a '16 crewmax with the 5.7 and unlimited miles warranty. I'm just north of 80,000 miles without any issues. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this is just an isolated incident.
I had the rear main seal go on my 2014 tundra , started leaking oil and it was only three years old with 37,000km on it . 5.7L Trd off road and after only six months the two front rockers had to be repaired due to rust. The paint was actually bubbling on a six month old tundra, loved the truck but even Toyota can put out a lemon.
Ive had 2012 and 2015 Tundra’s. Great trucks. One Tacoma, 2018 and now I’m back in a 2019 Tundra. Sorry I left them for Tacoma. 6300 miles Taco motor let go. They said they couldn’t determine cause. Suspected a valve seat. Gave Toyota the benefit of doubt and agreed to complete rebuild vs buyback. Within 1500 miles it began to consume a quart of oil per 1000 miles. Took it back to dealer that performed rebuild. Contacted Toyota corporate and initiated a buyback. I was required to perform two oil consumption tests. Failed both. Toyota wanted to replace my Taco with a like vehicle. I refused and said I am done with Tacoma. They said they’d like to keep me as a customer as I’ve had many Toyota products beside Tundras and Tacoma, I told them if they wanted to keep me, then refund all my money and give me the opportunity to shop and compare, but the chance of me staying Toyota would improve greatly if they agreed. Toyota gave me all my money back, less interest of payments of course. I looked at Fords, Chevy, Dodge and Nissan. Both HD and half tons. Diesels and gas. We went back to Tundra. I’m not towing excess of 10k and the added initial cost of diesel motors 9k+ makes most 3/4-1 ton trucks over $50k. I emailed a pic of us taking delivery of the 2019 Tundra limited to the rep that assisted us with buyback. She emailed me and said thank you and asked for proof of purchase. I scanned and emailed a copy of purchase agreement and within two weeks I had an additional $1500 check in my hand from Toyota, loyalty money. So, a Toyota might break, but if you work with them, they’ll work with you and they will take care of business!
Well they wouldn't work with me at all when my 2013 Tundra blew the power steering pump nor would they work with me when my rear hub bearings failed. 48k miles but because the truck was 6 years old they denied both request. I'll never buy another Toyota again!
Captain Stabbin That’s too bad! Daughter has a 2007 Camry LE her great grandfather used then gave to her. Over 200k on it. She got a notice saying bring it in for an oil consumption test. She did. It failed. They gave her a rental and rebuilt her motor! Camry is like new again.
How did you buy a life time warranty? From Toyota. ? I bit someone screwed up the oil change...8.5qts of oil is what it takes. Thanks for sharing your video
Wow. That is an anomaly. Back in the day, "throwing a rod" in an automobile engine was far more common than now. In modern engines that are properly maintained and not abused, a thrown piston rod in normal driving conditions has become extremely uncommon. Most likely, they will only replace the block and everything below if the the heads have no damage. Like you said, they most likely will take the cheaper route. After that, it's time to trade it in. lol
It’ll likely be a long block engine replacement, Toyota will likely send it to their engineering facility in Michigan as this is such a rare occasion and opportunity to learn from it.
My wife’s last Toyota blew an engine at 60K miles. The interior started falling apart within the first year. My last Toyota interior did the same thing. They lost us as customers.
I have a 2008 Tundra 5.7 with 193k. Still looks brand spanking new, kept it pretty good conditions some paint knicks in the front but, my interior is brown leather & still looks new. Maybe it might be the weather conditions? Or maybe chemicals if you use detailing spray?
Falling apart? Things don't fall apart just sitting. What do you do in your vehicle? A lot of bad things will happen if you neglect maintenance or care
I don't believe in bad luck but your vehicle histories are starting to sway me. I have a 2000 Isuzu Trooper that is my daily driver. I had a Toyota SR2 pickup that went over 220k. All I can say is I wish you luck. Enjoy your channel
Mine is a 2008 and I've had it 11 years. I have 230,000+ miles on it. Still rolling hard with no issues whatsoever.
The 07 and 08 models were over built. Great engines. The newer ones are built with Toyota's implementation of cost cutting. Cheaper parts are used.
Carlos Guevara , which components are different , I’m curious
Yup, I have 2 2008 Tundra's, the one I bought new has 250k, the other I bought because my wife said I needed a new truck, so I came across one at an auction, was a repo with 4 slashed tires, covered in mud and didn't run. got it for $2650 because nobody wanted to bid on it, threw on 4 spares, gave it a bath and quickly found out the cretin pulled out the main fuses, cut them and put them back in before the repo man came. literally cost me 10 bucks to get it running. Now I have a spare with 230k, and it runs like new. Wife was pissed because she wanted me to have a prettier truck, not a more reliable one, still no payments, she's not happy.
2011 f150 283k miles , no issues
John Ferguson do you have issues with cam tower leak or burning oil?

It goes to show you that all Manufactures have issues! They don't make them like they used too!

Team Tate I really believe this was just a fluke incident
Team- I love Amsoil! That's the only thing I run in my Trucks!
Toyota like most vehicles are actually pretty good vehicles. Issues can happen with any manufacturer or any one or two vehicles. I sure hope they take care of them.....
Eddie Smallhorn I hope they do too Eddie. I will keep you posted.
Truth because Toyota makes one heck of reliable vehicle these days newer cars are run by technology so will have some glitch.
Just admit you only like Toyota dork! I have owned others and had the same luck as my toyotas. It comes down to maintaince. Plus your asian makes are good at not recalling and doing a service builitin were the dealer fixes things when the rig comes in for service. They often say we have to do an update but never tell you there was something wrong. It is sibjective on which car or which truck you like. Plenty of decent not toyota stuff out there too!
@Jess W i am sure if Ford, Chevy and Dodge would stay behind with their technology and engine just like Tundra does and not update nothing for past 15 years or so their vehicles would go hand in hand with Tundra reliability.
I dont own a Tundra yet but I have a Tacoma with a 4.0 l V6. I am closing in on 100 000 miles. I changes the oil myself or sometimes the dealer. I change the oil every 5000 miles. I drive the snot out of my truck...i cannot kill this motor so far. Have towed a 4000 pound camper across Canada and back. It just does not quit. I know of several people with early Ecoboost engines with failed timing chains...rarely do i hear about engine failure in a Toyota. Toyota may not be perfect...but damn close.
Mike Foehr Yea I think this was definitely a rare case
Toyota's are the best trucks hard to believe I have a 2010 tundra no problems except tire pressure
James Watts Yea I agree. I love mine
Any Toyota I own didn’t make it a long time. I had an 01 Camry and at 91k the engine stalled and locked the steering wheel and I crashed in on the freeway. Then got a 2007 Camry and at 38k the transmission lost all gears except 1st gear and over rev the engine and blew 4 out of 6 pistons out the block. Then got a 2013 Tacoma and at 54k it started to consume oil like it was nothing. Took it in to get fixed and they wanted 4K to get fixed. Traded that in for a 2014 4Runner and at 30k the starter went out and it was having electrical problems with the radio and headlights. That was my last Toyota i will own. My grandparents have an 2015 highlander and that’s in the shop getting a new transmission at 35k. Even my uncles 2018 Corolla is getting a new CVT transmission at 10k. Just Toyota’s for my family haven’t been good at all. Well except for my grandpas 1994 pickup. That’s still running at it has 130k on it.
I let my wife of 53 years drive my 2010 4 Runner sometimes but I bite my nails until she returns
Bob Scruggs lol I totally understand
Truck that flimsy hah?
No my wife is
just enough I don’t let anyone drive any of my vehicles
Yep, says right here in my Bible: put thine Japanese truck before thine wife.
My buddies at work just bought a new 2019 Tacoma heard a knock at 4K miles took it in they replaced the block. It shocked the hell out of me they had the same responses never seen that before. I told him if he had good luck like that bad luck he would have struck the lotto! Once in a very great while it happens with all of the most reliable brands!
Van HellChenyo I agree but you definitely don’t hear it very often.
Yep including Nissan and Honda.
Thanks for the story, Gear. He was so nice to let those folks use his Tundra. Toyota will take care of him and he will end up with a nice vehicle with 0 miles on the engine.
Sparklander Yep I think they will also
I'm so sorry bro. I even get nervous when they move my truck just 20 feet in the service dept 😂
Ramon Concepcion I know I do too 😂
Me too
I don’t just anyone touching it I hate that I feel that way
Sorry to hear that, I bought my truck new in 2010 and it has 42,000 miles. I dont drive it is in my garage looks new. However, during a service maintenance at toyota another customer had a 08 with 396,000 miles and had no issues at all. I LOVE MY TRUCK!
When you can, please post an updated video that explains what the results of the engine teardown are.
It's times like these that you should just take a minute and hug your children, could be any one of us.
Jim Gilman That is true
2008 Tundra, 175k miles. Same dealer has serviced the entire time. Last service, the service writer thought the truck only had 60k miles. It's in such great shape.
jamesv360 Yep I think that’s more like the normal
The truck could have been in Sequential Shift mode in 3rd gear going 75mph. Don’t let nobody drive the Tundra.
arfbarg I wasn’t there but I wouldn’t think it would have been
@@billybob042665 the ECU limits the revs at engine rev limiter. You'll go over 75mph in 3rd gear.
First time I drove my tundra (first vehicle) I had it in s instead of drive on accident but I didnt go over 40 and before I got on the freeway I realized it and fixed it
I have my 07 Tundra I got it with 5 miles at the Longo Toyota 12 years ago now has 125,000 miles with no problem I just happy with that little beast
It's good this story is shared. I keep hearing about the million mile Tundra all the time and how Tundra is the most reliable truck out there. However, having seen one or two on the side of the road, I'm personally under the impression that any vehicle given its due maintenance, will be reliable. Its just some require more maintenance than others.
if one of every 10k produced go bad, then the odds are very good. cant take this one in particular as you entire case against a truck with a reputation like Tundras. it could have been anything. wrong engine oil used on last service. hard to tell from one single case.
@@kanh1749 I'm not citing this that the reason for stating Tundra is a bad truck. That would be stupid. I've witnessed other issues with the truck as well. I've stopped to assist a couple of Tundra drivers suddenly stranded on the side of the road with a confused look on their face; can't quite figure out how the truck suddenly had electrical failure.
I like the Tundra (not the new one). I think it was one of the best looking trucks that were out there.
However my beef is with the Toyota brand / company itself. I get the feeling that the brand is resting on the reputation of reliability that it has built over the years and is now over-charging their customers for stuff that in many cases is substandard.
Take the infotainment. In every Toyota the infotainment is a horrible mess and people here have started switching the units for those Chinese Android ones. How bad does the standard one have to be for the Chinese to be better?
You certainly get a lot more for your money when you choose another brand over Toyota. Are you getting something less reliable? I don't think so.. not if you did your research. It is just some brands require more precision and care when it comes to maintenance than others. And that is my point. I don't find Toyotas absolutely reliable or more reliable than any other brand. I keep thinking that the brand is just using the rep to overcharge their customers. IMO.
@@007Knightjp i have owned tundras the last 15 years. My current one is a 2008 with 200k on the books. Still running like a champ. So should we take mine as a prime example of how good they are or just look at the anomalies? Tundras are not built to be iPads on wheels, they are built to last. The new 2022 is taking a stab a current market trend but I think they will soon regret it.
If you want a cockpit on your truck, then Ram1500 is your truck. Just be aware that in 5-6 years you will be spending a lot of time at the shop. Guaranteed! Hence the appreciation your vehicle will suffer.
@@kanh1749 You're missing my point. My point is that any truck will be solid as long as you give it the right maintenance and I don't think that we should Tundras (or any Toyota) on the pedestal; which I see many owners seem to be doing. If you think that Tundras are the only trucks that can reach a million miles, think again. I'm sure that there are plenty of Chevys, Fords & Rams that have done similar and are still going strong. They just don't shout about it over the internet.
My first Ram had been rock solid for 7 years; right until I "rammed" someone on a highway. #LongStory. When looking at a replacement, I looked at Tundras, but none were in my price point. They were all too expensive for what they were. #ToyotaTax. I looked at Chevys and those were good. For the budget, there were 1st Gen Raptors, but I wanted a truck that can haul a load when required. I ended up with another 2014 Ram 1500; which still has a better interior and infotainment than even the 2019 Tundra. For one, the driver's door does have a grab handle. #JustSaying
@@007Knightjp very well said. I agree 100%
Just a fluke! I'm now on my 5th Toyota truck! Never an issue with any of them in almost 30 years! 1991 Pickup, 2002, 2005, Tacoma, 2007 Tundra, 2019 Tacoma. My favorite was my first, just the plain Jane 4 banger standard cab 22RE motor 5 speed. No power anything, not even AC! Simple, 240K miles and still ran like a clock when I sold it!
btvr17 exactly! I worked a lot of car lines worked at toyota for 12 years and own nothing but toyo since 02,,,, 94 pickup, 95 Camry, 04 sequoia, 07 Corolla, my sister has 12 tundra, 15 highlander, then traded highlander in for 16’ sequoia.....
Excuses from a Toyota sackrider.
Damien Bell and you got Akio Toyodas nuts in yours lol.
Dubel Baril r u an idiot with a sense of humor lol
Have you heard about the problems with the 2016-2018 Titan 5.6 gassers? Apparently, the #5 and #7 cylinders don’t get proper lubrication, and it starts to make a lot of racket. Nissan won’t do a recall, they will just replace the short block, with no warranty extension...glad I went with a 2017 Tundra Limited.
thumperpaul absolutely. Bough a brand new Titan 2017. After the second motor begin knocking, I trade in my Titan. Have a brand new Tundra since 3 weeks!
jacktravis75 good choice, you will be way happier with the Tundra. I can’t believe Nissan dropped the ball again with the Titan, as the first generation models were absolute garbage, with little or no support from the manufacturer.
Everything Nissan touches turns to shi+
I don't even like my wife driving my Tundra
Adam Ton My wife doesn’t drive mine lol
Adam Ton You’re not alone with that statement bud! I cringed every time.
Brian Waller lol
Jay Dowdy oh yea
This is why I have a stick 7.3 and a stick ‘19 Tacoma..
Have a '00 Tacoma V6 w/ 180k miles runs like it did on day 1. And a '12 Tundra 4.6 V8 w/ 70k miles 95% towing 7000 lb trailer and still pulling strong. Both amazing trucks! " Let's Go Places"!
Bob Porter I agree it was a very rare incident. I love my tundra.
Had a 99 Camry 4cyl, 90k miles, rod busted thru the block as well.
Jerry Leung I guess it happens to all of them but you just don’t hear that much in Toyota’s
the 2.2 had a lot of problems with that. its hit or miss
@@KiKitutorials1 oh really thanks for the heads up. I guess you are right. I had 2, 1 with 200k miles no problem and my wife's. Dropped in another motor on hers, has 100k on it since installed, running mint still, ac is still kicking. Damn motor was $1,500 with 90k miles on it too. Dunno why it's still so prized with that issue?!
@@jerryclleung my brother had a 99 also, sold it with 230,000 on the clock.
I saw this all the time, lack of oil. I work on car.
Toyota has damn good customer service for sure
Luke The Drifter I’ve had one bad experience but it did get worked out.
I drive an 08 Tundra she’s got 152k no problems knock on wood with a 4.7l, and I love it.
If the guy has the aftermarket third party 'Warranty Forever' then he is probably the first and only claim they approved. That particular warranty is true trash. It requires all maintenance to be done at the original dealership. If you get any work done at another dealership, you have to call 'Warranty Forever ' to get pre-authorization. If you fail to do that, the warranty can be voided. If the warranty is from Toyota, then that's a different ball game.
Donnie I’m not sure our warranty is aftermarket. Him and I both bought our trucks at the same place and the dealership gave us the lifetime warranty.
@@gearrunner You guys probably got a solid warranty. 'Warranty Forever' is a aftermarket warranty brand that some dealerships use as a selling point. Kinda like 'Car Shield'. But its horrible. Google it whenever you get a chance. Good video
Man that’s crazy. Probably glad he got that lifetime warranty. Shows you any of these modern vehicles can break, just wouldn’t think a Tundra would go down like that. You think there is more to the story?
Albert Jabberin I will have an update tomorrow telling what happened. Stay tuned 👍
Hey I just wanna say because of you, tundradude, and rob I went out and bought my own Tacoma maybe not the best financial decision but I did it!
Driver error. I live in Oklahoma and daily my Yota & tow on rough terrain still runs like a champ!
It was a really interesting experience buying my Tundra (used at that) here in Canada. The dealership treated me like or better than I was buying a new one, I even haggled on the price. Took it for its first oil change since I had it (has 52,000kms or 32,000 miles) and the place inspecting it for me pulled all the filter and they were spotless. They even called me up to make sure everything was good about a month later. Think I'll trade my commuter Mitsubishi in for a Tacoma next.
adagre They do have pretty good customer service
Just don't send it down to Michigan when you are done with it. I am tired of the "hand me down" Tundras from Canada. You guys use way too much salt!
It's like rare eye colour, never heard of having a issue on Toyota this early. I drive a 05 4Runner SR5 178k miles, engine is strong. But suspension needs work other than that solid.
Melvyn Joseph I agree I’d never heard of it either
Man that is surprising!!!
The Wife's 4Runner went 280,000 and was still running fine when she found a 4x4 Tacoma in Dune or Sand whichever.
I've got the Tundra TRD 5.7 2016 and I'm really happy with it! Before that I had the FJ that was fantastic offroad!!! Before that a couple of Tacomas dating back to 98 the 98 had the TRD blower on it.
I've owned Chevys,Fords and a GMC....Nothing comes close to Toyota quality.
I beat the crap out of my 2014 tundra 5.7 10 to 12k mile oil changes, air filters every 20k miles or so. about half of the miles were pulling a skid steer. Rarely used the brakes I would just downshift in traffic. I honestly thought I would have broken the truck in the 135k miles I put on it, but it never once had a hiccup. When I finally sold it to a guy I know the bed was caved into the back of the cab, had holes in the bed floor, was on the 5th set of tires. Anyways the truck is still running strong and has like 300k miles on it now.
JBird117 Yea usually these trucks are bullet proof. Just this one was a fluke incident.
Same 81k on my 2015 5.7 it's a beast.
Toyota usually takes care of their customers like no one else. That is why I have stuck with them. They always took care of my Fj cruiser and now I hope they do the same with my Tundra.
I would want new engine and not a rebuilt one.
Run4st Yep that’s what he’s getting
If that happened to my Tundra, I'd curl up in the fetal position and cry...
Bob Sweigart Me too 😂
😂😂😂😂👍🏽
You can change your own oil without voiding warranty. You just need to keep receipts for all oil and filters and a detailed log of when you service everything.
I have a 2010 with 270,000 miles on it I to my 20’ cargo trailer loaded all the time I have driven it all over the US and it’s my main camping and off road adventure vehicle. I buy Toyota because of there reliability, but for anyone to think that nothing will ever happen to even one truck is crazy. I would definitely say this was 1 in a million. Anyways I hope your buddy gets his truck back and never has an issue again.
I wont say anything bout engine but that cover . My friend had the same thing happened . it happens when you fold it and don't lock it.
smily smile They said everything was locked down good but I wasn’t there so I can’t say for sure. I could see how that would make it happen though.
A rebuild would almost be just as expensive as a new engine.
Endangered Entertainment I agree
My 1998 Toyota 4Runner has 345,000 miles on it, lve owned it for 17 years and only replaced 4 things in it .
kanjo26 Yep I had a 4Runner years ago and loved it
Had a similar issue with my '01 3.4 Tundra. I had my oil changed by dealer at 40,000 miles, #1 dipstick jockey cross threaded the filter, goodbye engine. After several discussion, and the threat of legal action on my part, the dealer assumed responsibility and replaced the engine. I'm still driving the truck on a daily basis, but now I do my own oil changes. Between the two engines the truck is only at 160,000 miles. Had a '86 Long Bed, 5-Speed until 360,000 miles, still running good, just needed kid room.
Wow, sorry to hear that. I hope Toyota will take good care of him as a customer and things will turn in his favor. Hoping for the best.
Mistaed2019 Thank you and I believe they will
I have an 2007 tundra crewmax and my engine blew up at 125,000 miles. Had another Toyota engine with 60k miles put back in it. I still would never own any other truck other then Toyota.
It is normally cheaper just to replace the whole engine. I used to be an entry level tech in the day and had a friend who was an engine tech when I worked at a chrysler dealer. They normally don't try to save or repair something like that it ends up costing more money or have potential issues down the road.
Devcom88 Very True
The Toyota services here is top notch
Got 2006 with the 4.7 with 203,000 on it , it runs like a dream , also had a 99 4Runner with the 3.5 liter and I got 380,000 out of it before I sold it , it was still running good too.
I’m sure there was a defect in the timing chain or belt/ guides that gave way causing the engine to run out of timing and break down.
Swpa 87 There had to be something like that
I'm curious to find out if it was related to the notorious cam tower leak that's plagued the 5.7L since it's inception in 2007. I was reading a Tundra forum post where a gentleman had posted pictures of used Tundras on a Toyota lot, out of the 6 he took pictures of with less than 50k miles, 4 of them had cam tower leaks.
phaT habitaT That will all be disclosed tomorrow phaT 👍
I was gonna post this same thing 👍
Sorry to hear this
My tundra is 2011 with 206,000 km
And steering rack blow up , $ 3,000
C You Wow that sucks also. Sorry to hear that as well
Gear Runner
Well it’s still the best truck on the road
And thing like that happens .
I still LOVE MY TRUCK !!
@@billybob042665 I got sideswiped and the dumb driver hit my drivers front tire and all the way down the door . My insurance would not cover it , "because it was not part of the accident." Which I'm 90% sure that it was. No sign leaking , truck drove straight as a arrow . I don't off road and don't abused my truck .
My buddy was a Toyota Mechanic for 20 years. I used to visit him often at the dealership, I never saw a motor being pulled. Once they were doing a head gasket. My other friend at the Ford dealership, every time I went in there, a motor was on the hook.
Toyota we are watching! Will you do the right thing? Where can I buy a Toyota to get the lifetime warranty? Please reply.
George Pierce They well them at The Johnson City Tennessee dealer with lifetime warranties
Gear Runner ......thanks for reply
George Pierce You are very welcome 👍
@@georgepierce720 also, Fred Anderson Toyota has a family plan which includes a lifetime powertrain warranty. And complimentary maintinance, for life
My Tundra has 240,000 and I have never had a problem yet hopefully I do not ever I've done all the updates on the hundred thousand mile like water pump and all that I get it serviced when it's time and I change my own oil it takes nine and a half quarts at least mine does. It's cheaper to buy to oil changes. I love my Tundra don't think I'll ever go back to any other truck.
Wrong oil weight in crankcase or some additive can cause big problems, when the recommended oil weight is 0/20 don't add anything else. Some think you need to add a heavier weight for towing, don't do it. Don't know if that's the issue, but, it's a thought.
Don Thecheech The Dealership changed his oil so if it was it was their fault!
Sounds like after that long drive, truck sat for several days while they were on their cruise. Chances are that new oil filter clogged or failed and stopped oil flow into the motor. they come back and drive 20 miles with no oil... boom, truck is done.
303MoTo That is possibly I guess
Oil bi pass would open, the odds of this being an oil related issue is low.
2012 100k miles towing and running hard. Oil air filters, and tires only things replaced in 10 years. Now have a 21 TRD Pro.
I’ve slung a rod twice-
In trucks that had recent oil changes, but...
They had several hundred thousand miles and were “wore slap out”.
1987 Mazda B2000 pickup-
2006 Chevy Express van-
We routinely ran the LS motors in the Express vans way over 550,000 miles and still sold them running and driving from $1,500-$3,500...
I didn’t know you could get a lifetime warranty on these. How much does that run?
Mandeep It was offered through the dealership I bought my truck at
I'll take a guess, bad water pump?
M Jones I don’t know but I’ll let you all know what they say
I had a 95 Ram,, bright red, the motor blew after filling the tank at a gas station. It had 508 miles on it. It took the dealership one month to decide what they were going to do. Told me to come out an pick out a new truck. I had installed extra parts on the old one wanted my money for those before I would sign the paperwork. We fought back an forth till I won. The next truck I brought it back because of steering problems, then to find out all the bolts in the front were loose. Needless to say I won't buy another one.
Jake Schisler I definitely don’t blame you there
We lost one of our own. Great line!
Thank you 👍
I have a 2017 1794 model and I LOVE MY TRUCK
geu rivas Mine is a 2016 Platinum and I love it as well. Can’t beat a Tundra
My 2008 tundra went through 2 transmissions with not even 48000 thousand miles but it had warranty because I bought it brand new so they replace it for free after that it was good the transmission wasn't going out it had a tick when I would accelerate but that was about it so maybe somebody has had the same problem
That's crazy! That's really surprising. Hopefully they get it fixed right for them.
Brandon I will have the update up tomorrow.
I bought a 2007 tundra with the 5.7 and 70k miles. Clean one owner. At about 85k, a valve spring broke and the keeper didn’t prevent the valve from dropping. I can empathize with your buddy. Wish I would have had a warranty. Replacing an engine isn’t cheap and toyota wouldn’t do a thing to help me.
My friend has a tundra with k75 miles and the spring of the valve failed causing the engine to blow up
Tryed skipping the ads before the video, 3 ford commercials , did ford pay this guy to blow up his engine?
Craig Theriault I don’t get to pick the ads!!! TH-cam places the ads and which ads go in the video. No TH-cam creator has control over that!
My heart is broken for your buddies/friend tundra! My tundra is a 1794 Edition 2017 and i'm under 22,000 miles because I hardly use it. I usually have it stored away and safe from any danger. I need to use it to prevent something like this from happening. I hope your buddy/friend gets the best solution because i know i would be devastated if this happen to me.
It a good day for me i got the 4.7 06 tundra still going strong see you in a million miles 🤔
I also have a '16 crewmax with the 5.7 and unlimited miles warranty. I'm just north of 80,000 miles without any issues. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this is just an isolated incident.
You gotta love these rigs for what they are and hate how expensive they are
I had the rear main seal go on my 2014 tundra , started leaking oil and it was only three years old with 37,000km on it . 5.7L Trd off road and after only six months the two front rockers had to be repaired due to rust. The paint was actually bubbling on a six month old tundra, loved the truck but even Toyota can put out a lemon.
Built on a Friday?
Doug Snider or Monday 😂
No Monday, Friday's are reliable because it's the weekend😁😁😁
Regular Car Reviews mentioned this happened to another guy.
They said Toyota didn't honor the warranty because "they couldn't replicate the problem"
Riley Copple They told me that with my windshield wiper control. I’ll have an update tomorrow.
Ive had 2012 and 2015 Tundra’s. Great trucks. One Tacoma, 2018 and now I’m back in a 2019 Tundra. Sorry I left them for Tacoma. 6300 miles Taco motor let go. They said they couldn’t determine cause. Suspected a valve seat. Gave Toyota the benefit of doubt and agreed to complete rebuild vs buyback. Within 1500 miles it began to consume a quart of oil per 1000 miles. Took it back to dealer that performed rebuild. Contacted Toyota corporate and initiated a buyback. I was required to perform two oil consumption tests. Failed both.
Toyota wanted to replace my Taco with a like vehicle. I refused and said I am done with Tacoma. They said they’d like to keep me as a customer as I’ve had many Toyota products beside Tundras and Tacoma, I told them if they wanted to keep me, then refund all my money and give me the opportunity to shop and compare, but the chance of me staying Toyota would improve greatly if they agreed. Toyota gave me all my money back, less interest of payments of course. I looked at Fords, Chevy, Dodge and Nissan. Both HD and half tons. Diesels and gas. We went back to Tundra. I’m not towing excess of 10k and the added initial cost of diesel motors 9k+ makes most 3/4-1 ton trucks over $50k. I emailed a pic of us taking delivery of the 2019 Tundra limited to the rep that assisted us with buyback. She emailed me and said thank you and asked for proof of purchase. I scanned and emailed a copy of purchase agreement and within two weeks I had an additional $1500 check in my hand from Toyota, loyalty money.
So, a Toyota might break, but if you work with them, they’ll work with you and they will take care of business!
Well they wouldn't work with me at all when my 2013 Tundra blew the power steering pump nor would they work with me when my rear hub bearings failed. 48k miles but because the truck was 6 years old they denied both request. I'll never buy another Toyota again!
Captain Stabbin
That’s too bad! Daughter has a 2007 Camry LE her great grandfather used then gave to her. Over 200k on it. She got a notice saying bring it in for an oil consumption test. She did. It failed. They gave her a rental and rebuilt her motor! Camry is like new again.
How did you buy a life time warranty? From Toyota. ? I bit someone screwed up the oil change...8.5qts of oil is what it takes. Thanks for sharing your video
Keep us updated that sucks my 4Runner is 17 years old no real problems this is really surprising for a Toyota
El Guapo I will definitely keep you all updated
Wow. That is an anomaly. Back in the day, "throwing a rod" in an automobile engine was far more common than now. In modern engines that are properly maintained and not abused, a thrown piston rod in normal driving conditions has become extremely uncommon. Most likely, they will only replace the block and everything below if the the heads have no damage. Like you said, they most likely will take the cheaper route. After that, it's time to trade it in. lol
Eddie Miller I sure hope they replace the entire thing.
There is nothing wrong with bolting a long block together outside of the factory.
It’ll likely be a long block engine replacement, Toyota will likely send it to their engineering facility in Michigan as this is such a rare occasion and opportunity to learn from it.
Chris Zeidler I agree I think they will too
My wife’s last Toyota blew an engine at 60K miles. The interior started falling apart within the first year. My last Toyota interior did the same thing. They lost us as customers.
Angelo Rosin I hate to hear that. I’ve had pretty decent luck with mine and most of my friends have also. Except for this one incident.
I have a 2008 Tundra 5.7 with 193k. Still looks brand spanking new, kept it pretty good conditions some paint knicks in the front but, my interior is brown leather & still looks new. Maybe it might be the weather conditions? Or maybe chemicals if you use detailing spray?
None of that. The plastic broke or fell off. They used cheap plastic. It was all crap.
Falling apart? Things don't fall apart just sitting. What do you do in your vehicle? A lot of bad things will happen if you neglect maintenance or care
@@angelorosin5090 you haven't seen a garbage interior until you've seen a second gen ram.
Of all them time those extended warranty calls maybe everyone needs to pick up the calls haha

Haha
Well, there are only 52 total Tundra's on the road, so those odds are not that good...

at least 52 Tundra are on the road while Ford, Ram, GMC, Chevy, Nissan are in the shop.

What model do you have to buy to get the rear window roll down does it have to be the crew max or the trd package
