    I just got a 2012 4.6 all black tundra 101,789 miles and I feel like I made the best choice without even doing research on how good these trucks are

      Not surprised at all. It's a tundra 1 million miles truck, no matter if it's 4.6, 4.7 or 5.7. Subscribe to my channel, I have ton of maintenance videos for tundra.

      repairvehicle the 2006 is all original. Just routine maintenance since 2006. The 2012 I got back in Oct 2018 with 82,000 miles on it. I have put 162,000 miles on it in 18 months. I drive about 2200 miles a week on avg. I pull a 5000 pound boom lift. The only thing that has been repaired on the 2012 is the secondary air injection pumps.

    Repairvehicle,
    Does the 4.6 engine have good power or does it feel alittle sluggish during acceleration?

    • @repairvehicle
      @repairvehicle  3 года назад +3

      4.6 is completely different beast. I have 5.7 Sequoia and 4.6 tundra. With 5.7 you have ton of torque at low engine speed. 4.6 moves truck effortlessly, it likes to rev higher than 5.7. If I had a chance to trade in for 5.7 without paying extra, I wouldn't do it for my needs. FOR what purpose are you planning to get 4.6?

    • @patgenier1965

      No issues. Brakes oil and tires that's it.

      It has good maintenance history. However, I would look underneath to see the frame and frame rails if they are rusted out or have heavy rust on them. Also, check bed for rust and if it has plastic bed liner, major rust issues there under the plastic bed liner. Also, it’s only rear wheel drive.
