It’s not the wiper blades. It’s the wiper arms. They changed mine out and the problem was resolved. Something to do with the spring tension. Good luck and thanks for the video.
I guess everyone's situation is different. Mine started when I switched to silicon blades. I never had the issue with rubber. Thanks for sharing your experience.
My 2024 sounds the same way but doesn't have any of the other issues. My co-workers new GMC 1500 Denali lost it's transmission at 2,000 miles so I always tell myself it could be worse. @@triggerhappyreviews
I have a 2017 and a 2021 tundra and have not had one single issue with either truck. Both trucks are absolutely perfect and I also get 18 miles per gallon regularly. And they have not been back to the dealership once for any issues. That is when Toyota was making good trucks.
True The 2022 Dual Twin Turbo Tundras seems to be a *"Pure SH¡T STORM"* ❗️ I am very disappointed with *Toyota* . I was hoping the 2024 Tacoma would continue with the V6 and don't go for a Twin Turbo 4 cylinder ❗️🤨 At least give the Customers a choice. I am coming to a completion of a bill and was looking forward to buying a new Tacoma. Ford, GM, Chevrolet and Ram, they still have the V8 choice in their full size Pickup Trucks. But Toyota made up _"Excuses"_ why they could not continue with the V8 in the Tundras. *"Toyota is going about doing their own thing and **_#DAMN_**_ the customer"_* ❗️ 🤷🏼♀️
@@whalerbw1107 Very important stock size tires no lift kit. 0-20 oil like they recommend. Change the oil in your rear differential Clean oil makes a big difference. Obviously clean air filter. I use high test for best mileage. If you have no ethanol fuel in your area use that you will get even better mileage and power. Do these things to your tundra and you will get this mileage also.
No Tundra has been made in Japan but this is the first designed and engineered exclusively by Americans, likey the same ones who've worked for the big three.
The Japanese make things that both look like art and last forever. Having a job in the automotive industry in Japan is considered a great respected profession
I’m gonna stick to the last generation. The truck has “superior” performance on paper but I care about longevity. I bought the naturally aspirated v8 F150 back in 2011 over the ecoboost twin turbos for longevity and 270,000 miles later I’m not disappointed. On paper the twin turbo’d v6 trucks can’t be beaten, but they come with a different set of issues that just don’t exist with the simplicity of v8 trucks. I’m a contractor and the less complicated something is and the easier it is to fix the more appealing it is to me. The new Tundra’s are beautiful looking trucks though!
@@triggerhappyreviewsthe sliverodo is the worst looking the ram 1500 is also ugly. I think the new ridgelines look ok. The tundra is probably my favorite then the gmc seirra. and the f150 and titan are ok.
23 1794 edition with 12k so far and pulled a 10k pound travel trailer from tampa to Yellowstone National Park and back down through Colorado and back to Florida(7600 mile trip), and not only did it pull amazing but haven’t had a single issue with this truck! I’m loving this truck! And I’ve owned ford, Dodge and the Nissan Titan, this truck is way better than those that I’ve owned. Either way it doesn’t matter manufacturer you’re always gonna have someone that’s gonna have a vehicle that’s gonna have lots of issues and then you’re gonna get some that do not have any hands down.
Seeing these problems with that mileage would really upset me. I have a 2008 tundra with 210k miles and I've for sure never had any of those problems 😬
I had a 2012 Tundra , Never a single issue. I still own a 2000 Landcruiser, and it seems these new Tundras have had more issues in 1 year than all 17 years of owning a Land Cruiser.
I just bought my 2023 tundra crewmax 4x4 limited 6.5" last wed 19 july. I live in Canada and hope to have zero issues. Lots of new stuff to figure out. Take care and stay safe. PS: the blueprint one.
I definitely feel your frustrations, I own a 2023 Platinum, been to the dealer 3 times and need to go back for the same issue (lane departure / cruise control/ lane assist failure) similar issues with the Bluetooth, and for the prices of these vehicles, running boards should be an automatic thing, the more you drag yourself in and out, the more wear and tear on the seats.
Well, you answered the questions to your problems with the tundra...its made here now! Quality went down the minute they partnered up to have them built here. Still a very good truck
Sad but true. I read that this is the first model year with all American engineers and designers, less input from Toyota Japan sounds like a bad idea to me.
My 2008 sequoia 5.7 just hit 213400 miles. Trouble free. Interior is still in amazing condition. Use it as a family hauler and throw wood trash and all kinds of stuff in it. Love Toyotas. But can’t stand the new tundra and sequoia. Just change my exterior window seal stripping for the first time at 212k miles. Plugs at 199k. Still original coil packs. Struts and shocks at 200k for the first time. Fluids at 205k for the first time except oil. Replaced JBL front door speakers at 212500 miles. Originals finally deteriorated. Rest of speakers are still like new. (Front door 6x9 were a paper like material on the cone). Just installed a $750 9” floating head unit for wireless/wired Apple CarPlay. Pioneer dmh-wt3800. Absolutely love it. Installed door sill protectors around 210k miles. Needs new headlight assemblies finally. Exterior needs a paint job of course being 16 years old and 213k miles. Sooo I guess I could say I’ve been doing a restoration on it. Worth every penny because to buy a new sequoia (second gen) id have to spend $30-55k for a used one.
Might sound silly, but the cleaner the windshield, the worse the noise. I figured out to wax my windshield when I wax the truck. Or spray wax often when washing the windows will do the trick. Been doing it 30 years and never have sqeaky windows. Clay bar made it worse.
Thanks for the review. Im about to get my 2023 SR5 and will look out for these issues. I know with 100% certainty the people in the factory are doing everything they can to correct problems and improve quality. That goes for every Toyota made in every factory. Keep in mind the last gen was around a long time and a lot of improvements were made over the years. I think this one will be the same.
V8's are not done in half tons. They're done in Toyota, but Ram, Ford, and GM all still offer excellent v8's. And what's more, GM recently committed to building a next generation V8 for use in trucks and SUVs. Some of us won't compromise on v8's until there is literally no option left, but that day is years in the future when it comes to trucks.
@@triggerhappyreviews No they're not done. You can still buy them today, and for the 2024 model year (at least) you can still get them. You're saying "v8's are done so just accept the turbos", I"m saying "why the heck would anyone buy a crummy turbo TODAY while the option to buy strong, simple, reliable v8's still exist? You're argument is flawed because you don't need to settle for a bad engine just because we all know in sometime in the FUTURE that will be only option. I'm buying a truck today with many v8 choices (at least 4 different v8's available, all of them excellent options), you bought your truck in the past when you still could have owned a v8 for 10 - 15 years at least.
The items he identifies appear to be unique to him, at least in my experience. My ram ecodiesel was in the shop from early on, with squeaks being the least of my problems, and it was a 70k limited. My 2023 Tundra Platinum has been faultless after 6 months of owning it. Good luck in your search.
You are completely justified in your complaints ! Thanks for the info. I am in the market to buy in the next 3 months, I am currently a '17 Tacoma TRD owner with only 40K miles. Love the truck....but it has issues too that Toyota will not fix.... (brake slap! and suspension noises) I will NOT be buying this truck now that I see what you are dealing with.
Can't wait to see the issues with the new Tacoma.🙄 I have a 2014 Tundra and like people have mentioned. Besides brakes, i haven't done anything except oil changes and a trans flush. 5.7L is solid. Yes I want the bells and whistles, but glad I held off.
The 5.7 had issues the first two years with valves dropping in cylinders but after that they are solid just have to keep an eye on the cam tower oil leaks when they get older.
Great video and thank you for making it. I bought a brand new 23’ Silverado RST 5.3 because I got tired of waiting on list for a 22 or 23’ Tundra. I knew GM is having lifter issues all over their V8 engines. So mine did right at 4500 miles. Anyways, got it fixed. The trucks has that V8 power, super smooth, perfect interior, perfect sound and everything you touch and feel inside and out the truck. I was going to trade it in after the lifter failure but after watching this… I might just keep it until Toyota wakes up from this nightmare of bad quality.
Lifter failure is not as common as people carry on. You had some real bad luck to experience that and so soon. Gm has their little issues but still make the best truck.
@@triggerhappyreviews Toyota sells under 100k Tundras a year where GM sells half a million or more. Like anything manufactured things will break so its going to be more common to see GM with issues since they have more trucks out there. The media loves to blast GM (Most american manufacturers) for some reason about everything but the reality is that hands down GM makes a much more solid truck then Toyota and this is comming from someone who is the least brand loyal person out there. Ive owned everything and run fleets. I only care about what makes money and what doesnt kill my buisness with downtime and maintenance costs.
I have a 2015 SR5 + 5.7 double cab with the TRD off road package with about 80 thousand miles in the Canadian Prairies. I got 60 thousand miles on the original Michelin all terrain tires plus all regular maintenance including fluid changes of transmission, differentials, transfer case and coolant. To date the only repair I have done is the belt tensioner and belt. I still have the original wiper blades and the truck went through a safety when I bought out my lease from Toyota at 60 thousand miles. The only quality control issue I had was at approx 30 thousand miles my windshield would chirp when at highway speeds with crosswinds in a specific direction. The dealer put xtra sealant which worked for a bit but eventually I had the windshield changed after it cracked from a rock and problem solved. My personal experience is that the Tundra doesn't do anything the best but does everything pretty good. I recall my dealer saying that the new totally redesigned Tundra would be coming in the 2017 model year which I patiently waited for but never came. With so much time I would of thought the quality would have been better but I guess real world testing will find the trucks shortcomings which should be addressed to make the truck better. I don't think the new truck will be as dependable or retain as much value as the outgoing V8 5.7. Not sure how many people will want to spend big bucks on a used twin turbo with 150 thousand miles knowing that you could end up with a $7500 give or take bill for turbos and intercoolers. Never the less it is a nice looking truck and I am seeing more of them on the road.
Good/Fair assessment. Tundra's high strung V6 is a show stopper for me. I bought a GX specifically for the NA V8, and that the GX is build in Japan. Cost was similar to a 4x4 Tundra at 61K but the build quality of the GX is significantly higher.
I am 40+ k in on my 22 1794 and no issues at all. No rattling no sounds. Trans is flawless I have been replacing the oil every5-6k as always. Love the extra power, the Land Cruiser offroad capability and the interior!
Debating on getting a Tacoma or 22 Tundra. I like both. But I do some pretty decent hauling every month for farms. What would you recommend? I currently drive a Ram 2500 6.7 Cummins. But I looking currently looking for a great daily
Window issue is due to fixing and location strategy to mating part. Seat plastic valance is due to lack of supporting ribs on b surface. The stress factor is due to ingress/egress. Wiper issue is due to not the wiper blades but the wiper arms and their geometry. The Texas plant does need to sort out their issues.
Lower the door window all the way. With the door open, using the heel of your hand, give the door frame a good, solid "punch" right where it curves to bend/align the door window frame. This can end wind noise as well. LUCK!
Appreciate your updates. Great truck in my opinion, but...we differ on the longevity, usefulness and capabilities of V8's. What do the 'better" features of the TTV6 actually get you? And how much is that worth? I paid $39k new for my 2018 SR5 TRD DC 4x4. I would not spend an extra $20K for the same trim for a 2023, only getting 8 more hp, 71 more PFT and 1,800 lb. more towing, especially when I don't need it. It also adds additional complexity and likely more maintenance expenses. My 2018 pulls my 6,000 lb. camper just fine and has never let me down with any other chore. My point is that, IMHO, the v6 turbos should be discussed as a choice for those that want it, and not "the only reasonable decision because V8's are in the past".
My uncle had a 2021 tundra and he really liked it he was on the highway and the engine blew at 21,000 miles he was pissed and got it fixed that traded it in for a ram
Just ran across your video. I have a 22 1794. Had the exact same issue with the air vent twice. I did get them to replace it twice but the second time I had to file a complaint with Brand Engagement. I have not been able to get them to replace the plastic part along side my seat, it has been cracked for over a year and not the same has happened on the passenger side. While I have not had the issue with my window at least, not yet, but I am at 60K miles. I have had issues with the phone charger. It will not charge for more than about 45 seconds then it cuts off. Given the 3 recalls and these issues, I'm extreme disappointed in Toyota work on this model. I have owned many Toyotas over the years and I never thought I would see this. Sad day.
I could be 100% wrong here but from my memory of researching this truck before I bought one (TRD Off Road package- same exact truck of yours)- I believe the Off Road models does NOT come with the air dam. Again I could be incorrect. I believe anything that is NOT the TRD Off Road package has the automatic air dam. I Just wanted to lend that tid bit of info. I have the same exact truck. Overall I've had a great experience! The window rattle drives me insane though!!!! I see TRD Jon just posted a fix. I'm about to try it lol! Thanks for posting these videos man! Hopefully Toyota watches these and addresses some of these issues!
I bought a 2008 Toyota Tundra SR5 Crewmax 4x4 (5.7) new and kept it for 12 years and 95K miles. It was an awesome truck and I wish I never sold it. I was excited that Toyota was coming out with an all new Tundra until the unveiling...not all that impressive.
I was a Toyota guy through and through and these quailing issues with the new Tundra made me think twice about getting one. The pricing and availability are the other two.
I have been waiting to buy Tundra number 5, I just can’t deal with the poor looks, only ok MPG and all the issues. Toyota needs to look at upper management for the failure of the long awaited new Tundra…. Talking about you Mike Sweers. Considering how long us Toyota faithful have waited and how long Toyota had to make an amazing truck, this is not acceptable.
I %100 agree. Mike Sweers needs to go. New 2024 Tacoma is way better design. I am on #4 Toyota and is so disappointed. Ordering a Trail Boss for my next one.
Fit and finish problems are common with the first year of a new model for every manufacturer. TRD Jon bought a 23 Tundra and so far hasn’t had any of the issues he had with the 22. I suppose you could buy an F 150 but they’ve had some major issues with cam shaft rattles at cold startups which is a fairly major repair. They also have transmission issues. How about a Silverado that has valve issues with their V8 engines and the class action law suit that’s going on with their transmissions. You can get a Ram with a hemi. If you keep your trucks a long time and your truck gets the hemi tick it usually means your cam shafts and push rods are shot! That’s an engine rebuild! You’re going to pony up thousands for that one. Those are the alternatives in half ton trucks. Perfection doesn’t exist! As far as the issues your having, the truck is under warranty. Make them fix it. That vent should be replaced. The plastic piece on the seat should be replaced again. Make them fix the rattle in the door even if they have to replace the window and every trim piece in that door. The squeaky wheel gets oiled my friend. So start squeaking!
I have a 2022 limited off road, same issues with the vent and seat. I also have the fuel gage that resets itself at half tank. I had a massive issue with panoramic roof leaking water. I finally opened up a lemon law, still in the process.
I have a 2021 trd pro tundra. I installed marine grade trim on the uppper portion of door frame. I cant confirm on clearing the window rattle but it did help on seal an wind noise a little.
Thank you..I was considering a tundra limited 23…..I’ll stick to my ram rebel…many many 🙏 Think bout getting into camping product testing and sign me up…
Thanks for sharing your owner, first hand experience. So much for "You should have bought a Toyota. A Toyota wouldn't do that. Your Toyota dealer wouldn't do that to you"
Have really been weighing tundra vs ram lately…value is still there if you think some of the safety and infotainment is important, but I’m pretty mixed with what I’m seeing. I know I know, ram this ram that on quality, but I see lots of these complaints on tundras and ram owners seem generally pleased with their vehicles + a v8
I bought my 22 TRDPro from a ram dealer, guy traded it in for a TRX. Salesman even commented how Rams always in the service dept. i had not 1 issue with my 15 plat tundra for 6 years and 110k miles. The 22 tundra i have now is fantastic, no issues
Rams were just rated the most reliable pickup in 2023. I’m at 220,000 on my 2017 Ram 3500 Diesel, insane reliability and quality. It’s been more reliable than my 18 4Runner with 170k. Bought both new.
I had a 2008 Tundra with the 5.7L V8 and it has 300k miles. I don't own it anymore since I gave it to my dad but he's still using it for work everyday. Never had a single issue with it and only gave it to my dad because I got a new truck. I ended up getting a 22 Tacoma, even though I was a Tundra guy. Once they got rid of the 5.7L V8, I figured i'd stick to the Tacomas V6. I can live without the extra power.
Wow I’m surprised to hear these issues with Toyota. I had buyers remorse after going with a 2022 Gmc Sierra Denali and not the Tundra because I’m still concerned about the GM reliability. The only issue I’ve had so far with the GM after 10,000 Miles is the radio sound will cut out for a second. And it happens fairly often
do you ever notice the passenger seat / passenger side rear seat rattling? without a passenger in the seat it feels like the bolts were tightened halfway but inspecting bolts looks fine
Gm 5.3 and 6.2 have lifter issues and transmission issues. They still use the same part causing issues with the lifters. Hopefully you don’t have those problems
@@gerrybaker1422 yeah I’m aware. One of the reasons I pulled the trigger on a 5.3L is my truck doesn’t have cylinder deactivation because of a chip shortage. So my truck still has all the same guts, but is always a V8 never drops down. I also change my oil every 7000km (Canada) and I’ve read that a lot of the failures were on trucks that stretched their oil change intervals to 12000km like the book says. Time will tell…I do love the truck though
I too went from a Toyota to a GM product, I got into a Chevy 1500 Silverado trail boss. Only issue I have had is that the engine started running rough and dummy lights coming on. I started to trouble shot and got stuck down that rabbit hole with all the issues I saw for it. All I did was disconnect the battery let it sit for a few reconnected and the truck runs fine again, like before. but now I am worried it will happen again and become a bigger problem. Never had any issues with my Toyota. I only have 8500 miles on the truck so far.
Two dealerships here in San Antonio have tried to buy my 2017 Tundra which has been maintained by the dealerships the entire time and after seeing this video, I’m glad I have turned them down multiple times.
I had a 22 then purchased a 23 beginning of this year no problems at all other then the plastic in the seat I think they resolved many issues between 22 and 23 as for the phone I did finally upgrade to a newer phone and what a difference it works perfectly every time I get into the truck also no rattling or noise what's soever I really love this thing oh one other thing never go to them for balance or alignment at the dealership they don't know what they are doing go to a independent garage for that
I had a 2007 tundra and had several problems. Had several f150’s and never had to go back to dealer for anything. Hopefully they get these little issues corrected, you are right, they want top dollar they better have a better product.
2022 SR5 here. I’m on my second broken seat side cover as well. When I put the truck in park, the engine shuts off and immediately restarts. The leg room in the double cab is a joke. Literally about 2” space between the front seat and rear seat. I love the 2 Turbo V6 and the 10 speed transmission, and improved gas mileage.
Mine shuts off all the time while parking too. Ever had the truck randomly lock the drivers side door for no reason? Mine does that probably once a month.
Just bought a 2022 Limited TRD that was a loaner in the service dept. Had the seat issue Have the door seal issue Have the center console issue Have the back door window outer seal issue Haven’t even used the wipers yet🤞 and no engine issues….so far. I waited forever to buy a gently used Gen 3 Tundra and jumped on the first deal that I found. Hoping the issues get resolved reasonably quick
I sold my 2023 Tundra after month 3. Wtf is going on Toyota!!!! I picked up a 2023 4Runner. Probably the most solid vehicle Toyota has ever made. Also, made in Japan. My Tundra was made in Texas. Idk…so many fit and finish issues with the Tundra, it’s hard to know where to begin.
The quality control is a real problem because the truck is assembled here in the us I noticed, when I purchase a brand new Toyota, Corolla, XSE 100% Japan zero problems, zero recalls but the ones that were put together here have a bunch of recalls and problems😂😂 we are the problem😂😂
Is not about being made in US. Previous gen was made in Texas and is extremely reliable. I think is about vehicles made post covid and manufacturers cutting cost which ultimately affect quality. I own a 2018 platinum, extremely reliable yet I love the looks of new gen. Thank you for your honest review. Videos like yours helps consumers have a better idea before making such a large and expensive purchase. Definitely will be getting a new tundra once Toyota decides to address those issues and become once again a reliable vehicle. 🍻
I really appreciate this video. Thought we had problems with the old gen . Lot of these items are troublesome. I want a 1794 hibrid crew Trd long bed . I’m waiting for the refresh- 2025 . This is a big disappointment. Glad you show us ! Agree with u !
I had similar issues with a new 2020 highlander, which was a first year model. Had major rattling issues coming from the dash and rear of the vehicle. Took months and me making RUclips videos calling out Toyota to get it fixed, which was done by simply adding more sound padding. Toyota wouldn’t help until I sent them the videos posted on RUclips. I then had the back frame of the rear seat break after the first person sat in it. Took months to finally get them to replace the frame. I recently had the left front wheel bearing go out at 73k miles which was a $900 fix, dealer wanted $1300, but the roads in my area are horrible, so not sure if that is a road issue or not. Mechanically, the car is perfect and rides and drives better than every rental car I’ve used that cost twice as much. I’ll take these interior issues over the numerous electrical/transmission issues I had in multiple GM vehicles.
Excellent video review of ownership. Because I’m really thinking about buying the 1794 edition. As for the wiper blades, I use to own a Car Wash and I would run my truck through all the time. The chemicals in the car wash would dry out my wiper blades. If you put bags over them, it will not happen. That’s if that’s the case for your blades.
That’s so annoying, hopefully they work through these issues in the next couple years, there are always growing pains with the first couple years of a brand new vehicle
I’ll say this for you. You are much more patient than I. By the way there are multiple manufacturers that still offer a V8. If I were in your shoes I would find the last year of the previous generation Tundra. You will be happier. There is more to life than MPG and torque. Thanks for sharing.
I have a 2023 tundra 1794 edition, none of those issues, not one of those, only thing I’ve had is the annoying lower drivers door rattle with any sort or bass, lots of people on RUclips had same issue, besides that no interior or exterior issues at all, i think they are starting to address some of the issues, and people in japan are getting hands on with the trucks, my buddy is a shop Forman at a Toyota dealer, his driver side mirror was making wind noise one his 23 tundra and he could fix it with tape, he took videos of it and the mirror is actually getting shipped to Toyota japan not Texas for examination, so things are getting addressed, but with most things Toyota…. Slowly
I have a fully loaded 23 limited lunar rock offroad. No issues as of yet. The offroad models do not come with the active airdam from the factory. I was skeptical about the ttv6 since i had the last gen 5.7. The ttv6 is more powerful in every way and i have no complaints about that either. And i am a v8 guy that has 2 v8 race cars lol.
The active air dam is removed from the SR5 Trd off-road. If you had any other trim with TRD Off Road, it would have it. Dealer clearly does not know their product.
I know what your saying. But if you think you have trouble with a tundra. Don’t even think about one of the other ones. I hope you get all the problems fixed. It’s a damn shame what these new trucks cost.
I got a 17 Silverado z71 v8. Reviews on the truck are trans problems. I added the v4 disabler and never had any issues but we’ll see. Almost 100k on it now. Those wipers tho, you get To your destination stressed out!
Those are pretty inexcusable problems. I love the look and I would never buy one until it’s a solid unit. I am getting a ‘23 4runner. Built like a tank
Do it I just bought one a week ago it’ll be the last gen to be built in Japan w a v6 that has been solid over a decade w no problems the drive is impeccable and the build quality is like no other✌🏼
4 Runners are still built in Japan, when they start making them in the United States or even worse Mexico expect quality and build to go way down. With price possibly going up. We need as many cars n trucks made in Japan as ewe can get.
Thank you for the honesty on the persistent problems. I provides those identified items (like the rubber window seal) that I had not considered as possibly detaching.
The wiper blades squeaking is NOT a blade/rubber insert issue. Different brands prove that. Your wiper ARMS are the problem. It is likely you need to bend the arms away from the windshield to lessen the downward force. There is likely too much downward pressure causing the blades/rubber inserts to wear prematurely.
Great looking truck. Working through some qc issues with my 2023 Tacoma trd off road purchased in June. Missing paint and exposed primer on pinch welds. Hopefully dealer gets it fixed under warranty.
I also have a 22 and I also have issues with wind noise, seat and air vent. The dealer replaced the air vent and seat but it took a while to get parts. Still have issues with wind noise but the dealer said that they can't do anything. The biggest issue I have is the needle and mileage will randomly go to full. I can have half a tank with 240 miles left of fuel and then all of a sudden I have a full tank with 490 miles of fuel while driving on the highway. I always have to keep a mental note of how many miles of fuel I have because I'm afraid one day I'll be stuck on the side of the road. The dealer hasn't been able to figure out the issue.
Thanks for the info. I’ve had the needle issue also and did a video on it about a year ago. Haven’t had it for probably 6 months but it used to happen all the time.
Sorry to hear this. I am really happy with my 9th Tundra, a 2018 loaded SR5 Dbl. Cab in Cement. I’m 71, use it mainly for towing our camper. It is probably my last truck…😊
@@Jeff-sp7bg …. Far from it! I am 71 and have had a car addiction my entire life. Since I was 17 I have purchased or leased 77 vehicles. My first Tundra was bought in 2001. So I have had 9 in 22 years. I also owned an F150, a Ranger and 2 Mazda B Series pick ups before my first Tundra. Other “trucks” included four 4Runners and 2 FJ Cruisers. The rest have been cars and mall crawling SUVs. At least a dozen of the cars were sports cars. I was just smart with my money. My wife and I were factory workers. We put 2 kids thru college debt free and have always had a nice middle class house. We are very close to being debt free within 2 years. We just have a small amount left on our mortgage and the camper we bought when we retired at 62. But I feel my insatiable desire to buy vehicles is coming to an end. We have 3 great vehicles all paid off…a ‘22 CX-5 Signature, a ‘21 Miata RF Club and our ‘18 Tundra. We couldn’t be happier with what is in our garages right now and should serve us well and last our lifetime sine we drive less that 15k total on all 3 combined. Work hard, invest aggressive and save, save, save.
I’ve had 7 Toyota’s including 4 Runners, and a 2016 Tundra. I traded in my Tundra for a 2022 Capstone, had it 4 months and luckily was able to get out of it at break even. Serviced more than 5 times for various issues (all interior related), drivetrain was fantastic while I had it, but couldn’t deal with the squeaks and poor finishes. I’m still debating getting into a 2024 or abandoning Tundra’s for a while.
I love my 2020 tundra still and it’s paid off and I recently purchased a 2023 4 runner and it’s been perfect and when I made that purchase I almost bought a 2023 tundra
Its crazy to hear about all these issues that have nothing to do with performance. These are simple things that should not be happening. My Chevy is half that price and have none of these issues.
I wonder if you were to personally sit in a 2023 Tundra, how the build quality would differ. Maybe most of these issues would be solved, as the issues are mainly plaguing the early 2022s.
Those problems aren't assembly issues, they're cheap parts issues. Most manufacturers are dealing with garbage parts. Also, while ive heard of the seat issue, i noticed your left bolster is flat compared to the right, on the drivers seat. The only way to stop them from breaking, is to pick yourself up out of the seat when getting out, instead of sliding off the side of the seat. I think the plastic panel goes too far up the bolster, and the bolster is pushing the panel off.
I don’t think you’re wrong at all. Also, I have a disability with limited use of my left leg. It’s definitely my own fault that I slide off. But I’ve had this injury since I was 15 and driving 20+ cars over the years, I’ve never had a seat crack, let alone twice.
@@triggerhappyreviews Especially on a 60-80k truck! Little problems are the last thing you should be worrying about, for sure. Makes me concerned for the 2024 Tacoma manual I'm wanting.
I bought into the Toyota superiority and have been disappointed. New 2nd Gen Tacoma bought new and sold a year later due to transmission issues. Waited a few years and bought a new 3rd generation. Had problems with that one too, the cab was extremely noisy at highway speeds and couldn't be corrected, the transmission hunted up and down, terrible fuel mileage and low power for the displacement of the engine. Sold it after two years. Was thinking of trying a Tundra but now not so sure.
It’s not the wiper blades. It’s the wiper arms. They changed mine out and the problem was resolved. Something to do with the spring tension. Good luck and thanks for the video.
You had the wiper problem? You’re the first person to say that they have it also.
I guess everyone's situation is different. Mine started when I switched to silicon blades. I never had the issue with rubber. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Simply twist the wiper arm a bit. The problem is the angle of the blade to the windshield. It’s pushing and not flipping the blade back over.
My 2024 sounds the same way but doesn't have any of the other issues. My co-workers new GMC 1500 Denali lost it's transmission at 2,000 miles so I always tell myself it could be worse. @@triggerhappyreviews
I’m glad to hear that.
I have a 2017 and a 2021 tundra and have not had one single issue with either truck. Both trucks are absolutely perfect and I also get 18 miles per gallon regularly. And they have not been back to the dealership once for any issues. That is when Toyota was making good trucks.
True
The 2022 Dual Twin Turbo Tundras seems to be a *"Pure SH¡T STORM"* ❗️
I am very disappointed with *Toyota* .
I was hoping the 2024 Tacoma would continue with the V6 and don't go for a Twin Turbo 4 cylinder ❗️🤨
At least give the Customers a choice. I am coming to a completion of a bill and was looking forward to buying a new Tacoma.
Ford, GM, Chevrolet and Ram, they still have the V8 choice in their full size Pickup Trucks.
But Toyota made up _"Excuses"_ why they could not continue with the V8 in the Tundras.
*"Toyota is going about doing their own thing and **_#DAMN_**_ the customer"_* ❗️ 🤷🏼♀️
How do u get 18 miles per gallons. My 2016 Tundra SR5 crewmax get 13.9. Never higher.
@@whalerbw1107 Very important stock size tires no lift kit. 0-20 oil like they recommend. Change the oil in your rear differential Clean oil makes a big difference. Obviously clean air filter. I use high test for best mileage. If you have no ethanol fuel in your area use that you will get even better mileage and power. Do these things to your tundra and you will get this mileage also.
Weird. I do all that. Synthetic blend oil, clean filter stock 277/65/r18. Only 55K.
@@whalerbw1107 you have to do like 60 on the highway
You said it! “Not made in Japan” where people still take pride in everything they do.
No Tundra has been made in Japan but this is the first designed and engineered exclusively by Americans, likey the same ones who've worked for the big three.
Thanks for the info. I didn’t know about that. I will do more research before purchasing next time.
They’d never let such a big truck on those Japanese roads haha
lol, okay
The Japanese make things that both look like art and last forever. Having a job in the automotive industry in Japan is considered a great respected profession
I’m gonna stick to the last generation. The truck has “superior” performance on paper but I care about longevity. I bought the naturally aspirated v8 F150 back in 2011 over the ecoboost twin turbos for longevity and 270,000 miles later I’m not disappointed. On paper the twin turbo’d v6 trucks can’t be beaten, but they come with a different set of issues that just don’t exist with the simplicity of v8 trucks. I’m a contractor and the less complicated something is and the easier it is to fix the more appealing it is to me. The new Tundra’s are beautiful looking trucks though!
i dont, i think its butt ugly and worse than a titan, ill stick with my ram 1500 hemi.
You think it’s uglier than a ram? Oookkkkkkkk
@@triggerhappyreviews big time, the older tundras were good looking, the new on looks like shit
Agree to disagree. I think ram trucks are far and away the ugliest trucks on the road. I’d include the ridgeline in that list.
@@triggerhappyreviewsthe sliverodo is the worst looking the ram 1500 is also ugly. I think the new ridgelines look ok. The tundra is probably my favorite then the gmc seirra. and the f150 and titan are ok.

Seeing these problems with that mileage would really upset me. I have a 2008 tundra with 210k miles and I've for sure never had any of those problems 😬
When you get the new gen, then complain 😭😭
I had a 2012 Tundra , Never a single issue. I still own a 2000 Landcruiser, and it seems these new Tundras have had more issues in 1 year than all 17 years of owning a Land Cruiser.
And.....
Want a cookie 🍪
You got the old model with the 5.7 V8. That's why. He got a brand new model with that V6 turbo. Its first or 2nd year.
I just bought my 2023 tundra crewmax 4x4 limited 6.5" last wed 19 july. I live in Canada and hope to have zero issues. Lots of new stuff to figure out. Take care and stay safe. PS: the blueprint one.
Just bought a '24 Tundra Platinum. 500 mikes on it. Not one issue so fsr. Truck is improving each year.
Did the engine blow yet?
I definitely feel your frustrations, I own a 2023 Platinum, been to the dealer 3 times and need to go back for the same issue (lane departure / cruise control/ lane assist failure) similar issues with the Bluetooth, and for the prices of these vehicles, running boards should be an automatic thing, the more you drag yourself in and out, the more wear and tear on the seats.
Dayum... a 2023 Platinum trim? You went all out LOL
Well, you answered the questions to your problems with the tundra...its made here now! Quality went down the minute they partnered up to have them built here. Still a very good truck
Sad but true. I read that this is the first model year with all American engineers and designers, less input from Toyota Japan sounds like a bad idea to me.
My 2008 sequoia 5.7 just hit 213400 miles.
Trouble free.
Interior is still in amazing condition. Use it as a family hauler and throw wood trash and all kinds of stuff in it.
Love Toyotas. But can’t stand the new tundra and sequoia.
Just change my exterior window seal stripping for the first time at 212k miles. Plugs at 199k. Still original coil packs. Struts and shocks at 200k for the first time. Fluids at 205k for the first time except oil. Replaced JBL front door speakers at 212500 miles. Originals finally deteriorated. Rest of speakers are still like new. (Front door 6x9 were a paper like material on the cone).
Just installed a $750 9” floating head unit for wireless/wired Apple CarPlay. Pioneer dmh-wt3800. Absolutely love it.
Installed door sill protectors around 210k miles.
Needs new headlight assemblies finally. Exterior needs a paint job of course being 16 years old and 213k miles.
Sooo I guess I could say I’ve been doing a restoration on it. Worth every penny because to buy a new sequoia (second gen) id have to spend $30-55k for a used one.
Might sound silly, but the cleaner the windshield, the worse the noise. I figured out to wax my windshield when I wax the truck. Or spray wax often when washing the windows will do the trick. Been doing it 30 years and never have sqeaky windows. Clay bar made it worse.
I use rain x windshield washer fluid it has no poblems
You can always try some Armor All spray…
Thanks for the review. Im about to get my 2023 SR5 and will look out for these issues. I know with 100% certainty the people in the factory are doing everything they can to correct problems and improve quality. That goes for every Toyota made in every factory. Keep in mind the last gen was around a long time and a lot of improvements were made over the years. I think this one will be the same.
I refuse to buy one if it has a turbo engine. Guaranteed 100% that engine will have major problems. I don't care what testing they put it through.
I’d buy the previous generation over this one in a heart beat
I would just for the engine, forget the aesthetics
V8's are not done in half tons. They're done in Toyota, but Ram, Ford, and GM all still offer excellent v8's. And what's more, GM recently committed to building a next generation V8 for use in trucks and SUVs. Some of us won't compromise on v8's until there is literally no option left, but that day is years in the future when it comes to trucks.
Ram is done. Looks it up.
@@triggerhappyreviews No they're not done. You can still buy them today, and for the 2024 model year (at least) you can still get them. You're saying "v8's are done so just accept the turbos", I"m saying "why the heck would anyone buy a crummy turbo TODAY while the option to buy strong, simple, reliable v8's still exist? You're argument is flawed because you don't need to settle for a bad engine just because we all know in sometime in the FUTURE that will be only option. I'm buying a truck today with many v8 choices (at least 4 different v8's available, all of them excellent options), you bought your truck in the past when you still could have owned a v8 for 10 - 15 years at least.
Just watched a new RAM reveal today. No V8. Only straight 6 twin turbo, two variants. Ford and GM are the only choice for a V8.
Been thinking about getting one. Glad I watched this first. Hard to find a good truck out there nowadays.
The items he identifies appear to be unique to him, at least in my experience. My ram ecodiesel was in the shop from early on, with squeaks being the least of my problems, and it was a 70k limited. My 2023 Tundra Platinum has been faultless after 6 months of owning it. Good luck in your search.
Nope. Not unique to me. I’ll have more info later but after meeting with two engineers from Toyota, my problems are fairly common.
You are completely justified in your complaints ! Thanks for the info. I am in the market to buy in the next 3 months, I am currently a '17 Tacoma TRD owner with only 40K miles. Love the truck....but it has issues too that Toyota will not fix.... (brake slap! and suspension noises) I will NOT be buying this truck now that I see what you are dealing with.
Can't wait to see the issues with the new Tacoma.🙄
I have a 2014 Tundra and like people have mentioned. Besides brakes, i haven't done anything except oil changes and a trans flush. 5.7L is solid. Yes I want the bells and whistles, but glad I held off.
My 2014 Tundra was my all time favorite truck. I should have never traded it in 😢
The 5.7 had issues the first two years with valves dropping in cylinders but after that they are solid just have to keep an eye on the cam tower oil leaks when they get older.
I owned a gmc canyon for one day last month. Returned it with 23 miles….no power steering. Happy with my tundra so far, 200 miles still getting 14mpg
How big of a financial hit did you get selling it back?
@@SuperSnakePlissken zero. They unwound the deal, bank loan hadn’t even dropped yet.
You are half way to a new turbo! 😄
Keeping my V8 2019 Tundra. None of those problems for 15k less.
Except the cam tower leak that should be a recall
Great video and thank you for making it. I bought a brand new 23’ Silverado RST 5.3 because I got tired of waiting on list for a 22 or 23’ Tundra. I knew GM is having lifter issues all over their V8 engines. So mine did right at 4500 miles. Anyways, got it fixed. The trucks has that V8 power, super smooth, perfect interior, perfect sound and everything you touch and feel inside and out the truck. I was going to trade it in after the lifter failure but after watching this… I might just keep it until Toyota wakes up from this nightmare of bad quality.
Lifter failure is not as common as people carry on. You had some real bad luck to experience that and so soon. Gm has their little issues but still make the best truck.
@martinhajda2132 my buddy has been waiting on a transmission for his 22 Sierra for 3 months. GM puts out some garbage too
@@triggerhappyreviews Toyota sells under 100k Tundras a year where GM sells half a million or more. Like anything manufactured things will break so its going to be more common to see GM with issues since they have more trucks out there. The media loves to blast GM (Most american manufacturers) for some reason about everything but the reality is that hands down GM makes a much more solid truck then Toyota and this is comming from someone who is the least brand loyal person out there. Ive owned everything and run fleets. I only care about what makes money and what doesnt kill my buisness with downtime and maintenance costs.
@@triggerhappyreviewsGM is notoriously bad quality control. They entice people with fancy options.
I have a 2015 SR5 + 5.7 double cab with the TRD off road package with about 80 thousand miles in the Canadian Prairies. I got 60 thousand miles on the original Michelin all terrain tires plus all regular maintenance including fluid changes of transmission, differentials, transfer case and coolant. To date the only repair I have done is the belt tensioner and belt. I still have the original wiper blades and the truck went through a safety when I bought out my lease from Toyota at 60 thousand miles. The only quality control issue I had was at approx 30 thousand miles my windshield would chirp when at highway speeds with crosswinds in a specific direction. The dealer put xtra sealant which worked for a bit but eventually I had the windshield changed after it cracked from a rock and problem solved. My personal experience is that the Tundra doesn't do anything the best but does everything pretty good. I recall my dealer saying that the new totally redesigned Tundra would be coming in the 2017 model year which I patiently waited for but never came. With so much time I would of thought the quality would have been better but I guess real world testing will find the trucks shortcomings which should be addressed to make the truck better. I don't think the new truck will be as dependable or retain as much value as the outgoing V8 5.7. Not sure how many people will want to spend big bucks on a used twin turbo with 150 thousand miles knowing that you could end up with a $7500 give or take bill for turbos and intercoolers. Never the less it is a nice looking truck and I am seeing more of them on the road.
Good/Fair assessment. Tundra's high strung V6 is a show stopper for me. I bought a GX specifically for the NA V8, and that the GX is build in Japan. Cost was similar to a 4x4 Tundra at 61K but the build quality of the GX is significantly higher.
High strung?
Yeah thats definitely a good move. I would have done exactly the same thing.
Yeah the Tundra's turbo V6 is definitely not high strung. It's specifically tuned for torque.
Still love my 2010 Tundra with the 4.6 L. No weird noises, runs and tows great. Only has 124,000 miles on it.
I am 40+ k in on my 22 1794 and no issues at all. No rattling no sounds. Trans is flawless I have been replacing the oil every5-6k as always. Love the extra power, the Land Cruiser offroad capability and the interior!
Just don’t get stuck without tow hooks
Debating on getting a Tacoma or 22 Tundra. I like both. But I do some pretty decent hauling every month for farms. What would you recommend? I currently drive a Ram 2500 6.7 Cummins. But I looking currently looking for a great daily
For the price they pulled out of their rear end this truck should be perfect in every way! Keeping my old one til the wheels come off!
I have a ‘23 lunar rock SR5 sport premium. I have zero issues. No noises or quality issues.
Window issue is due to fixing and location strategy to mating part. Seat plastic valance is due to lack of supporting ribs on b surface. The stress factor is due to ingress/egress. Wiper issue is due to not the wiper blades but the wiper arms and their geometry. The Texas plant does need to sort out their issues.
Lower the door window all the way. With the door open,
using the heel of your hand, give the door frame a good, solid "punch" right where it curves to bend/align the door window frame.
This can end wind noise as well.
LUCK!
Super sorry to hear all this man, what a bummer. Keep staying positive and thank you for the updates!
I think you just talked me out of buying a 2024 Tundra ! I will look at Ford !
Appreciate your updates. Great truck in my opinion, but...we differ on the longevity, usefulness and capabilities of V8's. What do the 'better" features of the TTV6 actually get you? And how much is that worth? I paid $39k new for my 2018 SR5 TRD DC 4x4. I would not spend an extra $20K for the same trim for a 2023, only getting 8 more hp, 71 more PFT and 1,800 lb. more towing, especially when I don't need it. It also adds additional complexity and likely more maintenance expenses. My 2018 pulls my 6,000 lb. camper just fine and has never let me down with any other chore. My point is that, IMHO, the v6 turbos should be discussed as a choice for those that want it, and not "the only reasonable decision because V8's are in the past".
I’m not saying the V8 isn’t good I’m simply saying it’s not an option and it likely never will be again so it’s time to move on.
Did you not watch the video?
Honestly man most of the MSRP difference is that Bidinflation
@@bradyb2233 Exactly. Also Supply Chain issues that haven't been resolved since COVID.
My uncle had a 2021 tundra and he really liked it he was on the highway and the engine blew at 21,000 miles he was pissed and got it fixed that traded it in for a ram
Just ran across your video. I have a 22 1794. Had the exact same issue with the air vent twice. I did get them to replace it twice but the second time I had to file a complaint with Brand Engagement. I have not been able to get them to replace the plastic part along side my seat, it has been cracked for over a year and not the same has happened on the passenger side. While I have not had the issue with my window at least, not yet, but I am at 60K miles. I have had issues with the phone charger. It will not charge for more than about 45 seconds then it cuts off. Given the 3 recalls and these issues, I'm extreme disappointed in Toyota work on this model. I have owned many Toyotas over the years and I never thought I would see this. Sad day.
I could be 100% wrong here but from my memory of researching this truck before I bought one (TRD Off Road package- same exact truck of yours)- I believe the Off Road models does NOT come with the air dam. Again I could be incorrect. I believe anything that is NOT the TRD Off Road package has the automatic air dam. I Just wanted to lend that tid bit of info. I have the same exact truck. Overall I've had a great experience! The window rattle drives me insane though!!!! I see TRD Jon just posted a fix. I'm about to try it lol! Thanks for posting these videos man! Hopefully Toyota watches these and addresses some of these issues!
I bought a 2008 Toyota Tundra SR5 Crewmax 4x4 (5.7) new and kept it for 12 years and 95K miles. It was an awesome truck and I wish I never sold it. I was excited that Toyota was coming out with an all new Tundra until the unveiling...not all that impressive.
95k miles is just broken in that truck can easily go 300,000 miles or more
A clean glass will squeak. Use Nu Finish car polish on it & the noise will go away.
I was a Toyota guy through and through and these quailing issues with the new Tundra made me think twice about getting one. The pricing and availability are the other two.
You can absolutely get a 2021 or older Tundra and likely won’t have any issues
Thanks for the update. I will be keeping my 2004 Double cab for now.
My 23 1794 TrdOffroad is a HUGE upgrade from my 20 Trd Pro!
I have been waiting to buy Tundra number 5, I just can’t deal with the poor looks, only ok MPG and all the issues. Toyota needs to look at upper management for the failure of the long awaited new Tundra…. Talking about you Mike Sweers. Considering how long us Toyota faithful have waited and how long Toyota had to make an amazing truck, this is not acceptable.
I %100 agree. Mike Sweers needs to go. New 2024 Tacoma is way better design. I am on #4 Toyota and is so disappointed. Ordering a Trail Boss for my next one.
Fit and finish problems are common with the first year of a new model for every manufacturer. TRD Jon bought a 23 Tundra and so far hasn’t had any of the issues he had with the 22. I suppose you could buy an F 150 but they’ve had some major issues with cam shaft rattles at cold startups which is a fairly major repair. They also have transmission issues. How about a Silverado that has valve issues with their V8 engines and the class action law suit that’s going on with their transmissions. You can get a Ram with a hemi. If you keep your trucks a long time and your truck gets the hemi tick it usually means your cam shafts and push rods are shot! That’s an engine rebuild! You’re going to pony up thousands for that one. Those are the alternatives in half ton trucks. Perfection doesn’t exist! As far as the issues your having, the truck is under warranty. Make them fix it. That vent should be replaced. The plastic piece on the seat should be replaced again. Make them fix the rattle in the door even if they have to replace the window and every trim piece in that door. The squeaky wheel gets oiled my friend. So start squeaking!
Unfortunately I’ve had many more issues than these little things. But I agree with you, I need to press the dealer to get these things fixed.
I agree. And I haven’t used the one about the squeaky wheel in a long time🤣🤣👍🏻
Nissan Titan - V8 and better powertrain warranty.
@@nismo370z4Those are great trucks.
I’ve always had Land Cruisers so I went Tundra, so far so good…
64k on my ram 1500 no hemi tick thankfully. Got my transmission fluid change soon. I think if you take care of your trucks they are built to last.
I have a 2022 limited off road, same issues with the vent and seat. I also have the fuel gage that resets itself at half tank. I had a massive issue with panoramic roof leaking water. I finally opened up a lemon law, still in the process.
So… window rattles, seat breaks, (twice) and when you stop, the car stays in high gear… I’m sticking with my previous gen platinum.
I have a 2021 trd pro tundra. I installed marine grade trim on the uppper portion of door frame. I cant confirm on clearing the window rattle but it did help on seal an wind noise a little.
Thank you..I was considering a tundra limited 23…..I’ll stick to my ram rebel…many many 🙏
Think bout getting into camping product testing and sign me up…
Thanks for sharing your owner, first hand experience.
So much for "You should have bought a Toyota. A Toyota wouldn't do that. Your Toyota dealer wouldn't do that to you"
Have really been weighing tundra vs ram lately…value is still there if you think some of the safety and infotainment is important, but I’m pretty mixed with what I’m seeing. I know I know, ram this ram that on quality, but I see lots of these complaints on tundras and ram owners seem generally pleased with their vehicles + a v8
I bought my 22 TRDPro from a ram dealer, guy traded it in for a TRX. Salesman even commented how Rams always in the service dept. i had not 1 issue with my 15 plat tundra for 6 years and 110k miles. The 22 tundra i have now is fantastic, no issues
Rams were just rated the most reliable pickup in 2023. I’m at 220,000 on my 2017 Ram 3500 Diesel, insane reliability and quality. It’s been more reliable than my 18 4Runner with 170k. Bought both new.
@jimerinrose6235 you have a unicorn.
I’ll give you my review on my 07 Silverado, it’s payed for and runs strong 💪
I have a 21 Limited Tundra, it was made in the same factory. 32k miles, It’s rock solid.
I had a 2008 Tundra with the 5.7L V8 and it has 300k miles. I don't own it anymore since I gave it to my dad but he's still using it for work everyday. Never had a single issue with it and only gave it to my dad because I got a new truck. I ended up getting a 22 Tacoma, even though I was a Tundra guy. Once they got rid of the 5.7L V8, I figured i'd stick to the Tacomas V6. I can live without the extra power.
Wow I’m surprised to hear these issues with Toyota. I had buyers remorse after going with a 2022 Gmc Sierra Denali and not the Tundra because I’m still concerned about the GM reliability.
The only issue I’ve had so far with the GM after 10,000 Miles is the radio sound will cut out for a second. And it happens fairly often
do you ever notice the passenger seat / passenger side rear seat rattling? without a passenger in the seat it feels like the bolts were tightened halfway but inspecting bolts looks fine
@@jakenim no nothing like that on my truck so far
Gm 5.3 and 6.2 have lifter issues and transmission issues. They still use the same part causing issues with the lifters. Hopefully you don’t have those problems
@@gerrybaker1422 yeah I’m aware. One of the reasons I pulled the trigger on a 5.3L is my truck doesn’t have cylinder deactivation because of a chip shortage. So my truck still has all the same guts, but is always a V8 never drops down. I also change my oil every 7000km (Canada) and I’ve read that a lot of the failures were on trucks that stretched their oil change intervals to 12000km like the book says. Time will tell…I do love the truck though
I too went from a Toyota to a GM product, I got into a Chevy 1500 Silverado trail boss. Only issue I have had is that the engine started running rough and dummy lights coming on. I started to trouble shot and got stuck down that rabbit hole with all the issues I saw for it. All I did was disconnect the battery let it sit for a few reconnected and the truck runs fine again, like before. but now I am worried it will happen again and become a bigger problem. Never had any issues with my Toyota. I only have 8500 miles on the truck so far.
Two dealerships here in San Antonio have tried to buy my 2017 Tundra which has been maintained by the dealerships the entire time and after seeing this video, I’m glad I have turned them down multiple times.
I had a 22 then purchased a 23 beginning of this year no problems at all other then the plastic in the seat I think they resolved many issues between 22 and 23 as for the phone I did finally upgrade to a newer phone and what a difference it works perfectly every time I get into the truck also no rattling or noise what's soever I really love this thing oh one other thing never go to them for balance or alignment at the dealership they don't know what they are doing go to a independent garage for that
I had a 2007 tundra and had several problems. Had several f150’s and never had to go back to dealer for anything. Hopefully they get these little issues corrected, you are right, they want top dollar they better have a better product.
2022 SR5 here. I’m on my second broken seat side cover as well. When I put the truck in park, the engine shuts off and immediately restarts. The leg room in the double cab is a joke. Literally about 2” space between the front seat and rear seat. I love the 2 Turbo V6 and the 10 speed transmission, and improved gas mileage.
Mine shuts off all the time while parking too. Ever had the truck randomly lock the drivers side door for no reason? Mine does that probably once a month.
For the phone connection issue, try pushing the volume power button for 3 seconds. That resets the system. I read it in the manual.
Just bought a 2022 Limited TRD that was a loaner in the service dept.
Had the seat issue
Have the door seal issue
Have the center console issue
Have the back door window outer seal issue
Haven’t even used the wipers yet🤞 and no engine issues….so far. I waited forever to buy a gently used Gen 3 Tundra and jumped on the first deal that I found. Hoping the issues get resolved reasonably quick
I sold my 2023 Tundra after month 3. Wtf is going on Toyota!!!! I picked up a 2023 4Runner. Probably the most solid vehicle Toyota has ever made. Also, made in Japan. My Tundra was made in Texas. Idk…so many fit and finish issues with the Tundra, it’s hard to know where to begin.
The quality control is a real problem because the truck is assembled here in the us I noticed, when I purchase a brand new Toyota, Corolla, XSE 100% Japan zero problems, zero recalls but the ones that were put together here have a bunch of recalls and problems😂😂 we are the problem😂😂
Lived in Japan for 11 years, work ethic is amazing
Is not about being made in US. Previous gen was made in Texas and is extremely reliable. I think is about vehicles made post covid and manufacturers cutting cost which ultimately affect quality. I own a 2018 platinum, extremely reliable yet I love the looks of new gen. Thank you for your honest review. Videos like yours helps consumers have a better idea before making such a large and expensive purchase. Definitely will be getting a new tundra once Toyota decides to address those issues and become once again a reliable vehicle. 🍻
I really appreciate this video. Thought we had problems with the old gen . Lot of these items are troublesome. I want a 1794 hibrid crew Trd long bed . I’m waiting for the refresh- 2025 . This is a big disappointment. Glad you show us ! Agree with u !
I got a 23 tundra sr 3 months ago and dont have any of those problems
Thanks for the review, I was thinking of trading in my GMC but I think I will stay put with GMC.
I had similar issues with a new 2020 highlander, which was a first year model. Had major rattling issues coming from the dash and rear of the vehicle. Took months and me making RUclips videos calling out Toyota to get it fixed, which was done by simply adding more sound padding. Toyota wouldn’t help until I sent them the videos posted on RUclips. I then had the back frame of the rear seat break after the first person sat in it. Took months to finally get them to replace the frame. I recently had the left front wheel bearing go out at 73k miles which was a $900 fix, dealer wanted $1300, but the roads in my area are horrible, so not sure if that is a road issue or not. Mechanically, the car is perfect and rides and drives better than every rental car I’ve used that cost twice as much. I’ll take these interior issues over the numerous electrical/transmission issues I had in multiple GM vehicles.
Excellent video review of ownership. Because I’m really thinking about buying the 1794 edition. As for the wiper blades, I use to own a Car Wash and I would run my truck through all the time. The chemicals in the car wash would dry out my wiper blades. If you put bags over them, it will not happen. That’s if that’s the case for your blades.
Thanks for the info!
That’s so annoying, hopefully they work through these issues in the next couple years, there are always growing pains with the first couple years of a brand new vehicle
I’ll say this for you. You are much more patient than I. By the way there are multiple manufacturers that still offer a V8. If I were in your shoes I would find the last year of the previous generation Tundra. You will be happier. There is more to life than MPG and torque. Thanks for sharing.
I have a 2023 tundra 1794 edition, none of those issues, not one of those, only thing I’ve had is the annoying lower drivers door rattle with any sort or bass, lots of people on RUclips had same issue, besides that no interior or exterior issues at all, i think they are starting to address some of the issues, and people in japan are getting hands on with the trucks, my buddy is a shop Forman at a Toyota dealer, his driver side mirror was making wind noise one his 23 tundra and he could fix it with tape, he took videos of it and the mirror is actually getting shipped to Toyota japan not Texas for examination, so things are getting addressed, but with most things Toyota…. Slowly
I recall back in the year 2000+ on, the SAME part of the seat on the S Class M-B's cracked/broke & needed replacement.
I fixed HUNDREDS of 'em!
S class? A tundra?
I have a fully loaded 23 limited lunar rock offroad. No issues as of yet. The offroad models do not come with the active airdam from the factory. I was skeptical about the ttv6 since i had the last gen 5.7. The ttv6 is more powerful in every way and i have no complaints about that either. And i am a v8 guy that has 2 v8 race cars lol.
I did not know that about the active air dam. The second dealer assured me it should be there. At this point I don’t trust any dealers.
@@triggerhappyreviews I don't trust the dealers either. They exist for only one reason - offloading their inventory.
The active air dam is removed from the SR5 Trd off-road. If you had any other trim with TRD Off Road, it would have it. Dealer clearly does not know their product.
TRD Pro also has it removed
I know what your saying. But if you think you have trouble with a tundra. Don’t even think about one of the other ones. I hope you get all the problems fixed. It’s a damn shame what these new trucks cost.
This video saved me. I was close to purchasing a 2023 but these things would annoy the heck out of me. Thank you, Trigger Happy!
I’m glad to have helped. I think it’s a good truck with some annoying issues. Hopefully next years model will correct this things.
I got a 17 Silverado z71 v8. Reviews on the truck are trans problems. I added the v4 disabler and never had any issues but we’ll see. Almost 100k on it now. Those wipers tho, you get
To your destination stressed out!
Funny that when you defeat their stupid tech you’re left with a darn good truck.
I really dig the "Hulk Hogan" mustache front grill.
Ha! Never thought of it as a hulk hogan stache but I will now!
Those are pretty inexcusable problems. I love the look and I would never buy one until it’s a solid unit. I am getting a ‘23 4runner. Built like a tank
Do it I just bought one a week ago it’ll be the last gen to be built in Japan w a v6 that has been solid over a decade w no problems the drive is impeccable and the build quality is like no other✌🏼
4 Runners are still built in Japan, when they start making them in the United States or even worse Mexico expect quality and build to go way down. With price possibly going up.
We need as many cars n trucks made in Japan as ewe can get.
Thank you for the honesty on the persistent problems. I provides those identified items (like the rubber window seal) that I had not considered as possibly detaching.
4 cy Turbos are great and been used for years, the 8 speed trans that Toyota is using is very good also
The wiper blades squeaking is NOT a blade/rubber insert issue. Different brands prove that. Your wiper ARMS are the problem. It is likely you need to bend the arms away from the windshield to lessen the downward force. There is likely too much downward pressure causing the blades/rubber inserts to wear prematurely.
Thank you. I think you are correct.
GM still happily makes a V8 half ton for anyone that wants one. Dodge still does as well. Some of us are driving the 2023 versions of them
Look at their future plans. Dodge is phasing theirs out. Others will do the same.
Great looking truck. Working through some qc issues with my 2023 Tacoma trd off road purchased in June. Missing paint and exposed primer on pinch welds. Hopefully dealer gets it fixed under warranty.
I also have a 22 and I also have issues with wind noise, seat and air vent. The dealer replaced the air vent and seat but it took a while to get parts. Still have issues with wind noise but the dealer said that they can't do anything. The biggest issue I have is the needle and mileage will randomly go to full. I can have half a tank with 240 miles left of fuel and then all of a sudden I have a full tank with 490 miles of fuel while driving on the highway. I always have to keep a mental note of how many miles of fuel I have because I'm afraid one day I'll be stuck on the side of the road. The dealer hasn't been able to figure out the issue.
Thanks for the info. I’ve had the needle issue also and did a video on it about a year ago. Haven’t had it for probably 6 months but it used to happen all the time.
Sorry to hear this. I am really happy with my 9th Tundra, a 2018 loaded SR5 Dbl. Cab in Cement. I’m 71, use it mainly for towing our camper. It is probably my last truck…😊
@@Jeff-sp7bg …. Far from it! I am 71 and have had a car addiction my entire life. Since I was 17 I have purchased or leased 77 vehicles. My first Tundra was bought in 2001. So I have had 9 in 22 years. I also owned an F150, a Ranger and 2 Mazda B Series pick ups before my first Tundra. Other “trucks” included four 4Runners and 2 FJ Cruisers. The rest have been cars and mall crawling SUVs. At least a dozen of the cars were sports cars. I was just smart with my money. My wife and I were factory workers. We put 2 kids thru college debt free and have always had a nice middle class house. We are very close to being debt free within 2 years. We just have a small amount left on our mortgage and the camper we bought when we retired at 62. But I feel my insatiable desire to buy vehicles is coming to an end. We have 3 great vehicles all paid off…a ‘22 CX-5 Signature, a ‘21 Miata RF Club and our ‘18 Tundra. We couldn’t be happier with what is in our garages right now and should serve us well and last our lifetime sine we drive less that 15k total on all 3 combined. Work hard, invest aggressive and save, save, save.
I have a 23 Tundra. It seems like they fixed these issues thankfully.
Well articulated review, well spoken thanks for the honestly. Hopefully Toyota is listening.
Charging more and building cheaper. Gotta love new trucks.
"it's done fine, other than the problems I'm having with it"
I’ve had 7 Toyota’s including 4 Runners, and a 2016 Tundra. I traded in my Tundra for a 2022 Capstone, had it 4 months and luckily was able to get out of it at break even. Serviced more than 5 times for various issues (all interior related), drivetrain was fantastic while I had it, but couldn’t deal with the squeaks and poor finishes. I’m still debating getting into a 2024 or abandoning Tundra’s for a while.
I love my 2020 tundra still and it’s paid off and I recently purchased a 2023 4 runner and it’s been perfect and when I made that purchase I almost bought a 2023 tundra
The problems don't seem to be from assembly but more from supply chain and engineering.
Its crazy to hear about all these issues that have nothing to do with performance. These are simple things that should not be happening. My Chevy is half that price and have none of these issues.
That air vent drives me nuts. We have also gone through both seat panels breaking and my driver is cracking already.
I wonder if you were to personally sit in a 2023 Tundra, how the build quality would differ. Maybe most of these issues would be solved, as the issues are mainly plaguing the early 2022s.
As a Toyota advisor I can confirm the 2022 Tundra does have post pandemic quality control problems.
What problems are you seeing the most? Anything major?
Those problems aren't assembly issues, they're cheap parts issues. Most manufacturers are dealing with garbage parts. Also, while ive heard of the seat issue, i noticed your left bolster is flat compared to the right, on the drivers seat. The only way to stop them from breaking, is to pick yourself up out of the seat when getting out, instead of sliding off the side of the seat. I think the plastic panel goes too far up the bolster, and the bolster is pushing the panel off.
I don’t think you’re wrong at all. Also, I have a disability with limited use of my left leg. It’s definitely my own fault that I slide off. But I’ve had this injury since I was 15 and driving 20+ cars over the years, I’ve never had a seat crack, let alone twice.
@@triggerhappyreviews Especially on a 60-80k truck! Little problems are the last thing you should be worrying about, for sure. Makes me concerned for the 2024 Tacoma manual I'm wanting.
I bought into the Toyota superiority and have been disappointed. New 2nd Gen Tacoma bought new and sold a year later due to transmission issues. Waited a few years and bought a new 3rd generation. Had problems with that one too, the cab was extremely noisy at highway speeds and couldn't be corrected, the transmission hunted up and down, terrible fuel mileage and low power for the displacement of the engine. Sold it after two years. Was thinking of trying a Tundra but now not so sure.
