i bought a lightly used 2020 tundra with the 1794 trim. Not first Toyota at all but after watching Scotty and Doug's vid, made the choice easy. I love saying typical Toyota, starts right up. Wife looks at me
I have purchased over $500k in new Toyota trucks over the last 8 years. I will never buy another one. I am looking at the dodge trx or an international 600 series.
I have a 2008 tundra limited Scotty and everything you said was spot on. I’m at 240k and no problems at all. Bought it new and it still runs the same as the day i drove it off the lot. I even put 40k miles on it in one year and no issues. Great trucks. And the fact that my house is 30 miles from the factory here in SA makes me even more proud 😂
Got an 04 4.7 with 255k miles. It was getting 19 mpg at 200k miles on the clock loaded with 2k lbs of cargo going from SD to SF in Ca. I have firestone airbags in it because I'm always loading with way more then it says I should. It runs like the Tundra here and I also ran it for over a decade quarts low on tranny fluid. I did put amsoil in it when I changed it at 90k miles though. Screw the 6 cylinders!
My friend has a 2013 Tundra with 340 k miles. He had the engine rebuilt at 250 k and then all struts and springs at 300 k. Has original trans and all other parts are original. He blasts the air 24/7 and it’s running like a beast still.
@@jtucker0822 I can ask on the engine but the suspension components were upgraded too so like 1700 at a local shop. The amazing thing too, is a new tech accidentally out transmission fluid in the engine and it still worked after they flushed it replaced the fluid lol.

I traded in my 2016 Tundra for a 2021 1794 Tundra so I could get one of the last V8's before Toyota brought out the V6 in the new Tundra's. Love my V8.

Last year, I sold my 2001 Tacoma Xtracab 4WD TRD V6. I loved that truck and it only had 90K trouble-free original miles. I bought a 2016 Tundra DoubleCab 4WD TRD V8 and love having the extra room for camping gear (and added driving comfort).
@@joeshmoe8952 I bought the first year of the current generation Tacoma, never had a single issue!! I traded it for a Tundra, because the Tacomas are too small. Never understood why everyone complains about the Tacoma transmission.
That truck is in beautiful shape, well taken care of. My 07 is getting pretty crusty around the edges up here in Maine but I mostly drive it in winter and plow my driveway with it so its bound to happen, even with an annual coating of Fluid Film.
i used to talk crap on them being star war trucks lol but they grew onto me they’re really nice trucks over all compared to gm or dodge or ford. im a gm and ford guy myself but they are not doing it like toyota
@@CJColvin by the time an ecoboost reaches 150k you will have saved between $12-18,000 depending on fuel costs($3-5 a gallon). That’s enough to replace the entire drivetrain. Meanwhile the Ford is a lot more comfortable, better handling, more powerful, and higher load ratings. There is no comparison between the tundra and an f150 as far as capabilities. If reliability is all you care about, remove the turbos from the v6 ecoboost and have it reprogrammed. You’ll get the same reliability at the expense of power and mpg, yet have a better truck.
Hey, Scotty. I have a 2007 Tundra. I THINK I had the transmission replaced once( Not positive). I had the transmission rebuilt back in 2015, approx., . It has NOT been a problem since. I personally replaced the serpentine belt years ago, at the same time, I replaced the plugs. This truck has been basically flawless. I drive it, almost every day, with a 10 foot cargo trailer in tow, with many tools onboard. I REALLY LIKE THIS TRUCK BECAUSE, IT HAS NOT LET ME DOWN. IT HAS A VERY SLIGHT OIL LEAK(damn caps lock). turns out, it's only the valve cover gasket. I have not addresses that yet but, will soon( After the tax man reams me for what they think they are entitled to out of MY hard work. Now, I need to replace the Cruise Control Switch. No big deal for me. Thank you, for this video. It speaks from my experience, as well. Nothing else has needed to be done to this truck. I DO need to recover that driver's side seat edge :)
I totally agree with you scotty. I have a 2017 and a 2021 they are far better Then the new ones. They are having all kinds of quality control issues. Not the kind of thing expected from Toyota.
2013 crewmax sr5 with stock limited rims on a 2 inch leveling kit got it for a high-school graduation gift with a 114,000 miles on it that's was 4 years ago now she has just hit the 220,000 mark with no dash lights on and motor is strong and quiet like the day I got her 😎 I like the new 7.3 super duty but I doubt I'll trade my tundra in for one.
I don't understand people..... That truck is mint....I love the color, I love those headlights, it's been taken care of cosmetically....but he never changed the tranny fluid......makes no sense
There's no way that Toyota couldn't have updated this engine and givin it better gas mileage and made it more efficient. All they were trying to do is copy forward when they launched the new tundra and quite honestly it's very disappointing and not surprising that they're having so many problems with the twin turbo V6 engines. 😔
the I force is bulletproof. I don't care what anyone says a v6 doesn't belong in a truck period. I have a 16 trd 4x4. I'll probably have it the rest of my life. first and only truck I've ever owned and I love it. hardly broke in to. only has 69k miles on it.
I like you Scotty but I have to say I have a 2020 Tundra, and I love it. It pullls my 6000 lb camper fine and I am happy. I am glad I didnt wait and buy the new ones today. its a 5.;7 liter
I rust proof no matter where a vehicle or when its driven.Not only for body panels,but all fittings and fasteners.Mechanics will get dirty,but time savings on rusty parts is greatly reduced,therefore costs also.
I was a strong Nissan fan for a long time for the same reasons. Reliable as all get out, durable, very little maintenance. That was into the early 2000s from the mid 80s when they were still Datsun. Anyway, I'm a strong Toyota fan now. My 2006 Lexus IS250 has almost 170,000 miles and no problems whatsoever. A Tundra will be my next vehicle but an older one.
Lucas transmission conditioner helped my 2003 xerrra with almost 250,000 miles a lot! When really cold I would not have reverse, slowly as the truck warmed up would work again. Added Lucas and fixed the issue. A transmission mechanic told me it conditioned the clutch bands that had dried out. I
12000mi on my ‘22 TRD Pro with zero issues. Changing oil every 5k miles, and treating it like any other 1/2 ton pickup, installed a mild lift, and put on 35x12.5’s. Thousands upon thousands of other 3rd gens are reporting the same. Very few actual failures and the only recalls have been for extremely minor things (aside from a handful of turbos on a specific run of trucks) like software fixes and torque specs on some bolts. Powertrain is great. This is NOT a new engine or tranny. Its essentially the same thing that Lexus has already been running. I still see plenty of issues with the 5.7 being taken in for various things to this day and that engine has had plenty of time to get things right. Either way, there is nothing overly “wrong” with either 2nd or 3rd generation Tundras. To each his own, but don’t let this nonsense video scare you away from a 3rd gen.
I watch a lot of mechanic channels (though I don't have a mechanical bone in my body.) I saw a video on a 4.6 V8 take-down - the starter was under the intake manifold. The guy doing the work says the starter on the 5.7 is not under the intake manifold and commented that it's actually harder to reach.
No. On the 5.7L starter its not under the intake manifold. It's next to the exhaust manifold. Not very accessible either but not as bad as the old 4.7L V8
@@danielmeador1991 I have a 2007 Tundra with the 5.7L V8 and the starter is behind the exhaust manifold on the passengers side. I changed it about 2 years ago.
I have had 7 toyotas pick ups and i can say that i have never lost a penny on any of them I currently have a Tundra and that truck will run circles around the competition Hands down I getting ready to upgrade it now so Not buying a Toyota pick up is a Mistake for anyone looking for a solid Truck I never had one problem with any of them and going back to 1987
Toyota had to discontinue the 5.7 V8 in order to force the v6 Turbo on its buyers. I’ll keep my ‘14 1794 edition till one of us dies, 14mpg and all. I need reliability, towing capacity. I don’t trust anybody’s v6 turbos, I see too many failures
We love ours! 4 Tundra's in the family. We won't buy a new Turbo v6.. they burned us that bad with a test drive over a weekend. ALSO what are you guys putting in your fuel?? I get 26mpg on the highway and 18 in the city. My v6 3.6 rav4 get only 2mpg better on highway. I arg 23mph with the Rav4 V6. and 19.6 with the tundra 5.7 crewmax.
Bought a used (17K) 2012 in 2013. Only rust so far is in the box, should have rhino lined, but the liquid salt they started using is eating my garage concrete! At 130K, had to replace alternator, water pump and idler ($3300). Otherwise no problem. Annual documentation reveals 12.4 mph. Pulling 14 foot enclosed trailer in head wind yesterday and got 6.8 mph. 😮
Just traded in my Land Cruiser with 300,000 miles on a new Tundra. The Cruiser was BY FAR the best vehicle I’ve ever owned, if the Tundra is as good I might never have to buy another vehicle.
Not into the new one yet until at least 3yrs from now. Newer doesn't mean better. There are still bugs to be workout. I own the 2014 tundra crewmax, man it still looks exactly like when I first bought it and I live in mass also.
After reading about how 1 guy got 1m miles out of TWO of these trucks with the 5.7L… I decided to purchase on with 150k miles, I wanted a truck, tacomas too expensive for what they are
Today, out of all the full sized pickups, Tundras get the WORST gas mileage. Looking at 12-14mpg while modern Chevy/Ford V8s get 20mpg… I’d still take these over Chevy/Ford for the reliability though
@@kstreet7438 we've got an 07 accord that gets about 32 on the interstates. We use that for a lot of stuff these days with gas prices. Still nice to have a truck for all the heavy lifting eventhough that sucker costs a small fortune just to keep fueled up haha
Maybe it'll make more sense to buy a Ford from now on going forward..they still give the v8 option and I don't think their eco boost engines came out giving any kind of problems right off the bat..
Scotty, any serious issues with the cam tower leak on these 5.7s? I just got a 2013 sequoia that is super clean, but it does have that leak on the passengers side. I dont smell any burning oil and it isn’t using oil, but it is there. If it’s just an annoyance, I’m good just keeping an eye on the oil and racking up miles, but I’d just like your thoughts if you see this comment out of the millions you get. Thanks.
Only time will tell, but I have the 2022 Tundra and I love the engine and transmission. If they are putting it in the Land Cruiser then I have faith in the TT V6 long term.
My grandfather had this generation Tundra, one night in February 2019 coming from dialysis someone ran the stop sign hit the right side of his truck (totaled it) wish he replaced with another now drives a older F150
That truck never got a chance to be a truck. It was used as a car. I wish people would just buy cars unless they regularly haul cargo and/or tow and have a reason to be off the road often.
I just bought a 2013 Sequoia limited with only 114k.. it's a beautiful truck. It's got the 5.7 v8. A little thirsty but it will put you back in your lazyboy seat.
@TheCarptainmojo I guess because it’s a V8 engine valve cover replacement access is harder. On my Matrix, replacing an old valve cover gasket is so simple it’s not even funny. But aside from access, a valve cover gasket is a very minor repair that doesn’t cost much.
I have the same truck in an 07 that I bought new, it’s even the same color. Love the truck. Love the 03 Tundra that I bought new also (and still have). Absolutely hate the new Tundra - overly complex garbage that will never last like these trucks. The 22 Tundra is the biggest screwup I have ever seen from Toyota. I thought I would buy a new Tundra when they came out with a new one but was so disappointed when I looked them over at the local dealer 🤮.
,99 Tacoma sold 04 wish kept it, keeping 04 tundra king cab 180k work truck -bought new runs great takes a beating and keeps on ticking,93 toy Winnebago - use for fishing trips wife only likes other big rv fine w me, 18 Ridgeline for long distance trips 28mph highway. whish new got better mph
I am thoroughly convinced that a decently built well-maintained paid for vehicle is 10 times better than one that has monthly payments that outlast a shaky warranty.
I have a 2011 Accord with 211k miles. Tranny fluid changed twice. Always oil changed. Regular maintenance and never rebuilt engine or tranny. Ac system original. These cars are better than what they’re making today
@@Beasy63 I got an ‘07 Ford Focus with 200K miles, about 50K of which I put on since it was used. I change oil every 5,000 miles and replaced plugs and coil packs at 160K. But I’m curious if I should drain & replace trans fluid & filter. I suspect the original owner was on top of that, but I’m not sure. Good little car at an average of 32 mpg, cold air and a 6 disc stereo that sounds much better than it should.
My wife has an orange 09 honda fit 5 spd sport, never needed the warranty, has 204k on it now. It has a couple small recalls done when it was newer. We've barely needed to do anything besides maintenaance
@@ithinkaboutthings9052 As the gentleman above said, it depends on the condition of the fluid. If it’s never been changed, that can actually cause more issues in the tranny than leaving it alone at this point. I would check with a mechanic to see if it makes sense but if you do go ahead with it, always do just a drain and fill every 50k miles
Myself also '03 Tundra bought used about 130,000 miles. Then 2009 brand new but it had a six but ran like a top. Then 2013 brand new has 252,000 miles has the smaller 8 engine. Have changed brakes and rotors and battery nothing else except regular oil changes. All were extended cabs and I will never buy another brand of truck. My 2013 will stay with me until she has to buried. Rides and shifts like she's brand new. I live in Louisiana so I don't have to deal with salt but nothing has been better than those vehicles. I have owned 5 Toyotas total. I also had a '06 and then a '10 Solara. Haven't owned any other type of vehicle since '03 Tundra. Can't say enough about them.
@michaelhill2416 which was your favorite? I am considering purchasing a Tundra for towing a light travel trailer (5,000 pounds max) a month or so annually. Those older pre-2007 Tundras, I really like the size…
@@richarde1355 Man, I don’t think anyone has ever asked me which one I liked the best. My 2020 Platinum 4x4 has the best looking paint IMO (Smoked Mesquite) of all my the trucks I’ve had, plus I’ve added aftermarket wheels and tires and the TRD dual exhaust so I’d say my current truck is my favorite. I do NOT like the 3rd generation Tundra, especially since they dropped the V8… I also think they are ugly and look cheap so I’m hoping my 2020 lasts me a very long time!!
Don't think I'll ever get rid of my 2013. Such a well built vehicle, definitely the best truck I've ever had. 170k miles and still runs and drives like a dream
Same thing with the V6 2GR engines that Toyota/Lexus starting to drop now. Bulletproof workhorse engines that are being replaced by turbo charged 4-bangers.
Would be fine if the reliability long term was there Engineering new stuff to last 10 or 20 years is not only nearly impossible (how can you possibly know what engineering issues will require solving if they don't appear for ten years?) Not to mention companies don't want stuff to last that long. They want you to buy new stuff every year
I’ve got an 05 SR-5 (2WD)with 142k. I’m the original owner and have never towed with it. Cosmetically the clear coat is gone and the fabric on the inside of the front doors is pulling away from the window controls. Mechanically it’s fine other than a P1445 code it throws in cold weather. It’s got the sealed trans and the fluid has never been changed (it’s always hunted a little on a slight uphill grade at freeway speed). I filled the tank yesterday at $148 - it’s paid for and I don’t drive much.
I have an 05 with 101k miles. Bought it from a guy in Bakersfield so the paint is oxidized but the underbody has no rust. I built it out for overlanding and have been traveling the west with my dogs. Awesome truck. Wish they still made the tundra this size and kept the v8
my 01 has 290,000, bought cheap but leaking and oil and overheating. flushed radiator put a new thermostat, put a new valve cover gasket, new axles and a leveling kit. this thing is a beast
2006 4wd SR5 V8 with 163K miles. Burns no oil. Only unexpected maintenance issues were a right rear wheel bearing and EVAP vent valve (turned out to be a bad wire). Love my Tundra!!!

“Of course it starts because it’s a Toyota” got to me 😂
I like you Scotty but I have to say I have a 2020 Tundra, and I love it. It pullls my 6000 lb camper fine and I am happy. I am glad I didnt wait and buy the new ones today. its a 5.;7 liter
Scotty gave me power of attorney to buy the new Toyota in a couple of days.
I rust proof no matter where a vehicle or when its driven.Not only for body panels,but all fittings and fasteners.Mechanics will get dirty,but time savings on rusty parts is greatly reduced,therefore costs also.
Sitting on a 07 limited mid cab. No regrets. Only major thing I did on it was a water pump.
I was a strong Nissan fan for a long time for the same reasons. Reliable as all get out, durable, very little maintenance. That was into the early 2000s from the mid 80s when they were still Datsun.
Anyway, I'm a strong Toyota fan now. My 2006 Lexus IS250 has almost 170,000 miles and no problems whatsoever.
A Tundra will be my next vehicle but an older one.
Lucas transmission conditioner helped my 2003 xerrra with almost 250,000 miles a lot! When really cold I would not have reverse, slowly as the truck warmed up would work again. Added Lucas and fixed the issue. A transmission mechanic told me it conditioned the clutch bands that had dried out. I
12000mi on my ‘22 TRD Pro with zero issues. Changing oil every 5k miles, and treating it like any other 1/2 ton pickup, installed a mild lift, and put on 35x12.5’s. Thousands upon thousands of other 3rd gens are reporting the same. Very few actual failures and the only recalls have been for extremely minor things (aside from a handful of turbos on a specific run of trucks) like software fixes and torque specs on some bolts.
Powertrain is great. This is NOT a new engine or tranny. Its essentially the same thing that Lexus has already been running. I still see plenty of issues with the 5.7 being taken in for various things to this day and that engine has had plenty of time to get things right. Either way, there is nothing overly “wrong” with either 2nd or 3rd generation Tundras. To each his own, but don’t let this nonsense video scare you away from a 3rd gen.
Toyota 5.7 v8 is a legend!!
Didn’t know the 5.7 has a timing chain, I bet the starter is under the intake manifold.
I watch a lot of mechanic channels (though I don't have a mechanical bone in my body.) I saw a video on a 4.6 V8 take-down - the starter was under the intake manifold. The guy doing the work says the starter on the 5.7 is not under the intake manifold and commented that it's actually harder to reach.
All the UR V8 engines use timing chains. The 5.7 is the 3UR-FE
No. On the 5.7L starter its not under the intake manifold. It's next to the exhaust manifold. Not very accessible either but not as bad as the old 4.7L V8
@@danielmeador1991 I have a 2007 Tundra with the 5.7L V8 and the starter is behind the exhaust manifold on the passengers side. I changed it about 2 years ago.
How tough was that?@@joseo.cordero7286
You should probably put a picture of the new tundra up there instead of the old model
I have had 7 toyotas pick ups and i can say that i have never lost a penny on any of them I currently have a Tundra and that truck will run circles around the competition Hands down I getting ready to upgrade it now so Not buying a Toyota pick up is a Mistake for anyone looking for a solid Truck I never had one problem with any of them and going back to 1987
Scotty and everyone else!!
My 2014 Acura TSX has a timing chain!!
In response to Scotties answer towards the Ford Probe question. Yeah the real problem is even finding a replacement part😪
I can’t believe someone still has a running Ford Probe! (Bonus Qs and As)
I have a 2008 Tundra, with 211k miles, and I will never get rid of it. It's still in excellent condition and gets 16 mpg on the highway.
Toyota had to discontinue the 5.7 V8 in order to force the v6 Turbo on its buyers. I’ll keep my ‘14 1794 edition till one of us dies, 14mpg and all. I need reliability, towing capacity. I don’t trust anybody’s v6 turbos, I see too many failures
We love ours! 4 Tundra's in the family. We won't buy a new Turbo v6.. they burned us that bad with a test drive over a weekend. ALSO what are you guys putting in your fuel?? I get 26mpg on the highway and 18 in the city. My v6 3.6 rav4 get only 2mpg better on highway. I arg 23mph with the Rav4 V6. and 19.6 with the tundra 5.7 crewmax.
I have a 2010 tundra and just paid $2200 to replaced two air pumps. Love the truck though will be keeping mine forever I hope.
Nice to see Saint Maximilian Kolbe make an appearance in this video.
Bought a used (17K) 2012 in 2013. Only rust so far is in the box, should have rhino lined, but the liquid salt they started using is eating my garage concrete!
At 130K, had to replace alternator, water pump and idler ($3300). Otherwise no problem. Annual documentation reveals 12.4 mph. Pulling 14 foot enclosed trailer in head wind yesterday and got 6.8 mph. 😮
I have a 2021 double cab sr5. Recently I had backflip mx4 tonneau cover installed. I swear that increased my mpg 2-3 more miles.
Buying a brand new 2011 tundra crewmax 4x4 was one of the best investments I've ever made. It's going to last me a lifetime
13 mpg? My 98 Ram 8.0 V10 gets around 11 mpg haha.
For some reason Toyota trucks get crappy mpg for their size. But they will last. My power wagon gets the same mpg and its a 2500 chassis
Just traded in my Land Cruiser with 300,000 miles on a new Tundra. The Cruiser was BY FAR the best vehicle I’ve ever owned, if the Tundra is as good I might never have to buy another vehicle.
New Toyota is amazing. Went from 2015 to 2022
I wish my Sequoia had a timing chain. My 4Runner had one. The 4WD is a monster!!! I get 15 mpg... highway 18. Glad i have a Prius as a back up!!! lol
Not into the new one yet until at least 3yrs from now. Newer doesn't mean better. There are still bugs to be workout. I own the 2014 tundra crewmax, man it still looks exactly like when I first bought it and I live in mass also.
I’ve seen the TRD version of the v8’s supercharged & still hold up. 👍👍
15mpg gang 🔥
in what?
good reliable vehicle. v6 and v8 toyota are thirsty. head gasket issues are starting to surface. might be a class action issue. the UR v8 .
This is why I love my 5.7 Sequoia
As usual he is great on everything he reports on
Most informative, excellent automotive video. I have learned so much from this man! He is to be trusted!!!
I wonder how many parts are in that truck from tier2 suppliers that were never paid
Bought my 2011 5.7 4x4 at 170k mile now its 256k and never had to change anything other then a sensor on the right side of the engine 5min job
After reading about how 1 guy got 1m miles out of TWO of these trucks with the 5.7L… I decided to purchase on with 150k miles, I wanted a truck, tacomas too expensive for what they are
My 2004 Tacoma looked new for approximately 210,000 miles. After washing and waxing it, people would actually ask me if it was new.
Today, out of all the full sized pickups, Tundras get the WORST gas mileage. Looking at 12-14mpg while modern Chevy/Ford V8s get 20mpg… I’d still take these over Chevy/Ford for the reliability though
Got 236,000 on my 2007. Get exactly 14.6 mpg on highway too.
Wow that's not good on highway. Our 08 f150 gets 18.5
@@TheAnnoyingBoss I drive a sedan but I couldn't imagine that mpg. I'm on disability and need every mile I can get. 32mpg local driving for me.
@@kstreet7438 we've got an 07 accord that gets about 32 on the interstates. We use that for a lot of stuff these days with gas prices. Still nice to have a truck for all the heavy lifting eventhough that sucker costs a small fortune just to keep fueled up haha
I have an 06 250k an I lover her
Maybe it'll make more sense to buy a Ford from now on going forward..they still give the v8 option and I don't think their eco boost engines came out giving any kind of problems right off the bat..
I would rather walk and carry Toyota hub caps than drive a GM or FOMOCO product . I left the Big 3 in 1990 ,never looked back
Scotty, any serious issues with the cam tower leak on these 5.7s? I just got a 2013 sequoia that is super clean, but it does have that leak on the passengers side. I dont smell any burning oil and it isn’t using oil, but it is there. If it’s just an annoyance, I’m good just keeping an eye on the oil and racking up miles, but I’d just like your thoughts if you see this comment out of the millions you get. Thanks.
This isn't prolific manufacturing it just doesn't implement planned obsolescence
Scotty you just saved me $60,000! I had a 2012 & was going to get a 2022! Forget it!
Only time will tell, but I have the 2022 Tundra and I love the engine and transmission. If they are putting it in the Land Cruiser then I have faith in the TT V6 long term.
just wait few years and we'll know if it has issues or not
Lol good luck with that
My grandfather had this generation Tundra, one night in February 2019 coming from dialysis someone ran the stop sign hit the right side of his truck (totaled it) wish he replaced with another now drives a older F150
Looks like your grandpa got wiser and got a f.150 😃.
I have a 2012 5.7 - 375 thousand trouble free miles!!
Bro that OWL had me DEAD
That truck never got a chance to be a truck. It was used as a car. I wish people would just buy cars unless they regularly haul cargo and/or tow and have a reason to be off the road often.
I just bought a 2013 Sequoia limited with only 114k.. it's a beautiful truck. It's got the 5.7 v8. A little thirsty but it will put you back in your lazyboy seat.
I love mine. 188k trouble free miles. Going to have to do the valve gaskets pretty soon though.
@TheCarptainmojo I guess because it’s a V8 engine valve cover replacement access is harder. On my Matrix, replacing an old valve cover gasket is so simple it’s not even funny. But aside from access, a valve cover gasket is a very minor repair that doesn’t cost much.
I have the same truck in an 07 that I bought new, it’s even the same color. Love the truck. Love the 03 Tundra that I bought new also (and still have). Absolutely hate the new Tundra - overly complex garbage that will never last like these trucks. The 22 Tundra is the biggest screwup I have ever seen from Toyota. I thought I would buy a new Tundra when they came out with a new one but was so disappointed when I looked them over at the local dealer 🤮.
id keep them till they dont run or need expensive repairs
Only 202,000 miles ??? It’s only just breaking in ! Long ways to go yet !
There are a couple Tundra with 1million miles
,99 Tacoma sold 04 wish kept it, keeping 04 tundra king cab 180k work truck -bought new runs great takes a beating and keeps on ticking,93 toy Winnebago - use for fishing trips wife only likes other big rv fine w me, 18 Ridgeline for long distance trips 28mph highway. whish new got better mph
A guy had one of these with over 1,000,000 miles on it, still running.
There are 4 Tundras out there now with 1 million miles.Try that with a domestic truck.
You will be missed Scotty.
The government is to blame. Yes, really. CAFE standards are squeezing the engines to death.
They need to bring back the old die hard the Hilux series, four cylinders is all the landscapers need in Southern California,,
Ahh the 4.8 is a pig I'm gas mileage, my 15 5.7 gets 17.4 consistently.
My 95 f150 still running strong. Haven’t even had to replace the radiator. Guess ford is more reliable
How is the frame so clean being in Massachusetts it’s whole life?? Doesn’t even have fluid film on it.
Wish they went diesel instead of turbo v6 😢
My 2018 Tundra is all I need and then some. There is nothing about the new ones that have me even remotely interested. Not interested in turbo motors.
My wife’s 4Runner (2015) 35k miles has way more rust than this thing. Weird.
Maybe they can make a Celica Tundra with a V8.
I am thoroughly convinced that a decently built well-maintained paid for vehicle is 10 times better than one that has monthly payments that outlast a shaky warranty.
I have a 2011 Accord with 211k miles. Tranny fluid changed twice. Always oil changed. Regular maintenance and never rebuilt engine or tranny. Ac system original. These cars are better than what they’re making today
@@Beasy63 I got an ‘07 Ford Focus with 200K miles, about 50K of which I put on since it was used. I change oil every 5,000 miles and replaced plugs and coil packs at 160K. But I’m curious if I should drain & replace trans fluid & filter. I suspect the original owner was on top of that, but I’m not sure. Good little car at an average of 32 mpg, cold air and a 6 disc stereo that sounds much better than it should.
My wife has an orange 09 honda fit 5 spd sport, never needed the warranty, has 204k on it now. It has a couple small recalls done when it was newer. We've barely needed to do anything besides maintenaance
@@ithinkaboutthings9052 what cor is the fluid
@@ithinkaboutthings9052 As the gentleman above said, it depends on the condition of the fluid. If it’s never been changed, that can actually cause more issues in the tranny than leaving it alone at this point. I would check with a mechanic to see if it makes sense but if you do go ahead with it, always do just a drain and fill every 50k miles
I had a ‘93 T-100, ‘95 T-100, 2000 Tundra, 2007 Tundra and now a 2020 Tundra… loved them all. Super reliable and well built 👍
I also had a 93 T-100. The only reason I don't still have it is we moved to Texas at the end of 2021 and it would have cost over $1000.00 to ship it.
This puts my mind at ease. So reluctant to sell my ‘02 for a newer one.
Myself also '03 Tundra bought used about 130,000 miles. Then 2009 brand new but it had a six but ran like a top. Then 2013 brand new has 252,000 miles has the smaller 8 engine. Have changed brakes and rotors and battery nothing else except regular oil changes. All were extended cabs and I will never buy another brand of truck. My 2013 will stay with me until she has to buried. Rides and shifts like she's brand new. I live in Louisiana so I don't have to deal with salt but nothing has been better than those vehicles. I have owned 5 Toyotas total. I also had a '06 and then a '10 Solara. Haven't owned any other type of vehicle since '03 Tundra. Can't say enough about them.
@michaelhill2416 which was your favorite? I am considering purchasing a Tundra for towing a light travel trailer (5,000 pounds max) a month or so annually. Those older pre-2007 Tundras, I really like the size…
@@richarde1355 Man, I don’t think anyone has ever asked me which one I liked the best. My 2020 Platinum 4x4 has the best looking paint IMO (Smoked Mesquite) of all my the trucks I’ve had, plus I’ve added aftermarket wheels and tires and the TRD dual exhaust so I’d say my current truck is my favorite. I do NOT like the 3rd generation Tundra, especially since they dropped the V8… I also think they are ugly and look cheap so I’m hoping my 2020 lasts me a very long time!!
Don't think I'll ever get rid of my 2013. Such a well built vehicle, definitely the best truck I've ever had.
170k miles and still runs and drives like a dream
2013 double cab 189900km ) with 0 issues so far ..all maintenance done as required...purs like a swis clock
I feel the same about my 2012 with 108k miles.
Right there with you, I've got 223k on my 2015, and i'm about to put another 1500 on it this weekend for a road trip.
I have a 2012 298540 miles still runs great.
Love my 2013 as well. Only 82k miles so just broke in
It is sad to see the demise of the naturally aspirated V8. The UR engines (and UZ before them) were brilliant.
Had a coworker tell me she's super happy with her new GMC SUV with a 4 banger twin turbo....I feel bad for her ignorance.
Absolutely damn near bulletproof engines!
Same thing with the V6 2GR engines that Toyota/Lexus starting to drop now. Bulletproof workhorse engines that are being replaced by turbo charged 4-bangers.
I went with a naturally aspirated 5.0 instead of the ecoboost and that things burning oil. I should have kept my diesel.
@@sparkymedic same, one got a mini Cooper and the other got the Renault.
The problem with waiting to see how well the twin turbo v6 tundra's age is they'll be down to 3 cylinder hybrid trucks by the time the v6's age 😜
Would be fine if the reliability long term was there
Engineering new stuff to last 10 or 20 years is not only nearly impossible (how can you possibly know what engineering issues will require solving if they don't appear for ten years?) Not to mention companies don't want stuff to last that long. They want you to buy new stuff every year
If not a 3 cylinder, I wouldn't be surprised to see a two. 🤣
Hey still better than buying a new Chevy truck LOL
No no obviously a ford
I own a 2006 with 4.7 v8 with 249,125. Mostly trouble free. Never missed an oil change. Burns no oil.
I’ve got an 05 SR-5 (2WD)with 142k.
I’m the original owner and have never towed with it.
Cosmetically the clear coat is gone and the fabric on the inside of the front doors is pulling away from the window controls.
Mechanically it’s fine other than a P1445 code it throws in cold weather. It’s got the sealed trans and the fluid has never been changed (it’s always hunted a little on a slight uphill grade at freeway speed).
I filled the tank yesterday at $148 - it’s paid for and I don’t drive much.
I have an 05 with 101k miles. Bought it from a guy in Bakersfield so the paint is oxidized but the underbody has no rust. I built it out for overlanding and have been traveling the west with my dogs. Awesome truck. Wish they still made the tundra this size and kept the v8
my 01 has 290,000, bought cheap but leaking and oil and overheating. flushed radiator put a new thermostat, put a new valve cover gasket, new axles and a leveling kit. this thing is a beast
2006 4wd SR5 V8 with 163K miles. Burns no oil. Only unexpected maintenance issues were a right rear wheel bearing and EVAP vent valve (turned out to be a bad wire). Love my Tundra!!!
You rookie. Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I got a 2002 tundra 4.7L with 485,000
