Thank you everyone for your honest comments and feedback. But please be respectful as I am simply trying my best to share as much insight as possible and stay neutral so that you understand what is currently going on with the new Tundra. I welcome comments on both sides of the fence but let's be professional in how we convey our emotions about this potential issue. And since I am not in front of the actual Tundra with the issues, I also cannot confirm or verify the actual problem that the owners might be experiencing. I can only deduce insights based on the facebook/tundra forums which may or may not be accurate. By the way, as a side note, removing the cab from the chassis for engine repair is a common practice that is not difficult to do. If you would like me to continue covering important - but often controversial - topics then please let me know in the comment section. I really don't want to back off from talking about sensitive issues but if videos like this become the "hotbed" for non-productive arguments, I may have to re-think about future videos. Anyhow, thank you again for watching.
David - I appreciate you. Please do continue to cover and report important and controversial topics like this one on the new Tundra. Thank you!
Thank you..for all your hard work and for being neutral.. in all seriousness this issue was just the average teething problems with a redesign.. it's more important what the manufacturer does to fix issues then what the issue may or may not be..I wouldn't hesitate to buy any model of Toyota..which can't be said about other manufacturers currently..
Well said. I have a 2022 tundra. 1600 miles and use it for work. I tow a trailer behind me. Everything about this truck with me current experience has only been great. I hope for those that have been going through this issue get it resolved and get back in there awesome truck soon.
Thank you for all your info David , truly appreciate it . I wanted to confirm something though , do we know how different the Hybrid engine is compared to the regular one ? I'm curious if the Hybrid has the same parts that are having the issues now.
@@MrTe3 Not exactly what you are asking but based off what a Toyota engineer stated..the internals of the transmission are heavy duty and the rear differential is heavy duty as well on the hybrid model to handle the extra torque of the electric motor..583 lbs of torque..perhaps David can speak about this matter..as well as answer your question..
I understand that you're saying that it's not the turbocharger itself, but rather the waste-gate actuator - but then you go on to say it's an integrated unit which requires replacement of the turbocharger, which basically means - it's a turbocharger issue!
Part of the ownership experience is consideration of the ease of serviceability. That the entire cab needs removed to replace the turbocharger is a huge concern to me because things taken apart are usually never the same. There's always "extra" bolts and clips that are leftover or broken during the repair. And even if it goes back together OK once, how many things will this design require that cab-off fix? I can't image that process is anything but very expensive and at some point, owners will be paying out of pocket for it.
You assured us that all this added complexity would not impact Tundra reliability because Toyota's development and production process is almost perfect. I think this issue shows that no matter how good the process may be, if you start adding extra parts to an engine, those parts are just another potential point of failure.
I like Davids videos but I think because he used to work for Toyota he defends them a little to much. What ever the problem is with the new Tundra if I were a owner who just payed $70000 for this truck and had this issue I would be pissed
True
@@naveenthemachine Yes and also the first year (2016)Gen 3 Tacoma which I own. Mainly the gear hunting and Transmission surging in the 6 speed automatic so far I only had the constant gear hunting which I regeared to 4:88 which solved the problem .Also there are some that have fuel pump issues
@@luchaDor THAT thought, that it is possible that a failed turbo trashes the whole engine, didn't reassure me at all! Is that really a possible scenario if (any part) of the turbo fails?
My Toyota service department couldn't help me fix my auto tilting reverse side view mirrors. Weather it was laziness or incompetent if a problem of this magnitude to arise I have zero confidence my dealer could even fix it or fix it well or even want to. My dealer service department seems to like to fix recalls where they get some grand incentives but to identify an issue and maybe having to chase the issue they aren't too enthusiastic.
For the last 20 years, I wouldn't even consider any vehicle that wasn't a Honda or Toyota. This is starting to change my mind. I have always consciously avoided turbocharged vehicles, and this video reinforces that decision. Out of warranty, I am positive these turbos will cost between $2K and $3K apiece, never mind labor. Don't even pretend these will last 350k+ miles that is otherwise typical for Toyota.
Yeah I have a 21 Tiguan 2.0 Tsi it’s super impressive absolutely love it no problems once so ever
You know so much about something that hasn’t been on the market for a year yet. Please tell me more 🤡
@@RF-dw8ms you have a blown Toyota turbo too? That sucks lol
@@RF-dw8ms Yes, I do. I know there are now multiple occurrences of new Tundras with the same issue without even a full tank of gas run through them. This is not a minor squeak, rattle, or sticky door knob. This is a major drivetrain failure that renders the truck a brick. Go buy one. I'm sure Toyota will eagerly sell you their fancy brick for $60k or so
@@radarguyus1 INFLATION it will be $10,000 a piece and they will be back ordered for a year and price will be $15,000.
It’s not just 5 or 6 tundras, it’s most of them!! I got mine on New Years eve and it’s at the dealership since 1/10/22 with its cab of the frame. My father got his few days ago and it has a check engine light!! Now I regret trading in my 2020 TRD sport for the new one. I have a construction company and need a pickup truck everyday, Toyota gave me a Camry as a loaner, but I still have to rent a pickup truck from rental company! And they won’t reimburse me for that which is 600$ a week!! Toyota had 15 years to make this right and they failed big time!!
My family had Toyotas since I can remember, Highlanders, Camrys, tundras, siennas, all of them were trouble free for the 100-150k miles!!
Edit:
Dealer I bought my Truck from Sold 34 tundras since they got them, 8 of them are at the service as I’m writing this with the same problem! Just got me dads tundra to the dealer!! Estimated repair time is 6-8 weeks!!
That sucks We all new there might be growing pains but not this big
Sorry that you're going through that brother. That's a real world problem that can't be explained away by the Corporate Communications department.
Could you force them to buy the truck back?
@@SasukeUchiha-zu6dw i’m in the process of trying to do that and get my old one back since they didn’t sell it yet!
Toyota should just buy the trucks back in good faith or give you a Tacoma.
Expecting a Scotty Kilmer video “ I was RIGHT about the new Tundra.” LoL
Once he called those supercharged engines as fart sniffers. 😊
He knew this very well , so keep listening to Scotty.
True lmao
Wait what did he say about them? I've actually been looking for this?
@@blackericdenice 😂😂😂
So glad I decided on a 2021 Limited and picked up in October. Long live the 5.7!
Great choice. Really like the Limited trim
Who cares what power that twin turbo V6 makes, I'd take the 5.7L all day long. They should have just updated the transmission with it years ago.
me too, I bought the 2021 Tundra as the last of the old school 8 cylinders. Simple proven engine, no need to change.
Yeah but the 21 doesn't have a transcooler, I think 14-18 tundras are the best looking and most reliable
@@qouavang3646 True, and I totally agree that it is needed. I monitored tranny temps before and after installation. If one is going to do any towing, definitely needed. That's why I added one. Dumb cost cutting move on Toyota's part.
My lizard brain says keep things simple
Thank you David for explaining the turbo problem in depth. Im a big fan of Toyota they have always stood behind their products and have been a customer for years. All the Best to you
As an automotive engineer, this issue usually indicates there are more out there, just a matter of time to manifest the scope of the problem. I would wait for a couple of years before buying the truck.
That’s my plan maybe after 2 or 3 yrs 🤷🏼
Do you think the 2023 Sequoia will have the same problem?
@@Joalse well it will have the same power train so eh maybe. But honestly I can't see them letting this problem persist into 2023
@@sexyfishyphish that’s why they have a warranty. Every new refresh will have it’s issues but Toyota has consistently rectifying them in timely manner. My 2007 Crewmax has had the valve drop issue during its first 8,000 miles. That was the only major defect and now it’s at 265,628 miles problem-free with regular maintenance intervals.
@@mikehughes8023Toyota should insulate customers from these catastrophic problems that are not of the customer’s making. Extend the warranty to 10 years to cover this and other presently unknowable issues if you want to keep your customers. Kindly transmit my message to Japan. Belief in Toyota’s integrity must be reestablished. We customers spend far too much money on a product that is supposedly “bullet proof”
Thank you for this video. It helped calm my nerves. I have a 2022 Tundra and my check engine light came on along with the reduced engine performance warning a couple of weeks ago. The weird part is, the lights eventually went out on their own. To be safe, I took my truck to the dealership where I purchased it and they said they cleared the codes and took it for a drive and the lights didn't come back on for them. The truck was returned to me and after a couple of days both the check engine light came back on, and I received the reduced engine performance warning again, then after driving it a couple of times the lights disappeared again. I reported the problem again to the dealership and they basically told me that Toyota wasn't sure what the exact problem was, but if the lights appeared one more time to let them know and they would order a replacement turbo for me. They also said the truck was safe to drive even in the reduced engine performance mode and told me if they had to order a turbo I could drive my truck up until the parts arrived. I thought this was a good idea at first but thought about it some more and came to the conclusion that driving a vehicle with a defective turbo is a bad idea plus this could possibly be a tactic by the dealership to keep my truck off of their lot to avoid a lemon law claim. I say this because in my state, they have 3 shots to fix the issue, or if the vehicle is out of commission for more then 30 days then I can file a claim. With the parts shortage that you described, I have no doubt my truck would've sat for more then 30 days therefore I would've files a claim. The good thing is, shortly after my lights went out the last time, I received a notification while driving that an update was available. I accepted the update, and since then my lights have not come back on so I am hoping the actuator problem that you described was a software issue that they fixed with the update. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I really do love my Tundra. Thanks again!
Got me a brand new 2022 tundra almost 2 weeks ago and love it. Any issues so far? Only 500 miles in on it.
@@RyDaHero10 So far so good. I think my issue may have been related to a software issue. There was a software update and since then I haven't experienced any issues. The only other issue that my Tundra has experienced was cracking seat panels on the sides of the driver and passenger front seats. The dealership replaced them free of charge so all is good now. Love my TRD Sport. Good luck.
@@brandonvance6969 good to hear. How many miles?
@@RyDaHero10 Around 17,000 I believe.
David, thank you for addressing this issue. I'm shocked that Toyota hasn't publicly addressed this major issue.
They are busy cleaning their pants
Thanks for the update. What concerns me the most is the repair and removing the body from the frame. This is why I always wait a full year or so before buying any new or re-designed model, I have always done that. I don't doubt Toyota will get it right but add in the supply shortage and everything else going on right now it is a little unsettling.
I hope they can fix the turn radius. Went from best in class to last.
With ongoing pandemic I would not be so optimistic that issues prone to new release would be fixed in next model year. Everything has to double or tripled in time. But live still goes on.
Who in the hall engineer or like that. Turbo should be easy to remove and installed
The first year of the 2GR-FE which is the 2005 is mostly trouble free. The UR, GR, and AR families of Toyota engines are very robust and reliable. The first gen Lexus NX200T/300 only made 236 instead of 245 hp due to reliability reasons.
This issue can't be minimized.. a new truck with such hype and acclaim. Not a small problem and happening on a initial roll out weeks into delivery. So glad I waited.
I guess you're wrong about that. You guys are crying about the stupid wastegate but forgot about when Tundras were eating up camshafts on the all new 2007 5.7s back then. A camshaft is catastrophic, a wastegate is literally a nothingburger.
@@CACressida This! And now they became one of the most reliable v8s ever made! I remember they were also having issues with that stupid secondary air injection pump failures, and they were STUPID expensive to repair after warranty
I mean they are still fixing it. With so many intacate components you’d think it would be more. It’s normal for trucks to have issues out of the gate. Fixing the problem is much more important and Toyota will do that
Ysabmf
@@Pantelifts10 so how many trucks with wastegate issues can you tally up? 5? How many silverados with failing lifters? 100,000s? How many F150s with condensation build up in the intercooler? How many rams with failed expensive relay boxes? The Tundra shares the same engine as the Land Cruiser 300 and thousands have been sold in the middle east. How many wastegate failures are happening there? 0? Let's be realistic here. TFL and pickup truck and suv channels have new Tundras with miles on them. Another RUclipsr has been beating the shit out of his new tundra and has already put 7k miles and its still reliable. Dont act like other trucks don't have major flaws. A few Tundras catch a headline and you and every other gullible person makes it seem like all tundras are failing.
David, thanks for your analysis. We will have to wait and see but if it's not an electronic issue that can be fixed by a computer fix then, Toyota has larger issues as most are not going to be Ok with the cab being removed from the frame for this mechanical fix. They might have to lemon-law these affected units and slow production until they fix the actuator for new units. Lack of issues are why I own a Toyota but this doesn't give me that warm/fuzzy feeling for spending $70K on a truck that may have this failure later on.
Excellent video! I learned more in your explanation of the waste gate issue than I’ve been able to gleam from other postings, news stories, and videos! The diagrams were of particular interest and I enjoyed your insights!
Thank you - I'm glad that this video was helpful!
Thank you! Kindly keep us updated on all issues, good or bad… very helpful.
I’m a Toyota guy, own an Avalon and a 1980 FJ40. I’m in the market for tow vehicle to tow my Land Cruiser, tractor, etc. I really wanted to buy a new Tundra but have decided against it for numerous reasons. 1) very low payload rating esp in higher trim and hybrid models, 2) lack of flat floor under the rear seats making it difficult/impossible to carry bins or boxes, 3) no good way to get into the rear bed, esp for older people, 4) no tow hooks, 5) fuel mileage isn’t very good when weighed against all the added complexity, 6) turbo repair requires removal of the cab which means extremely high out-of-warranty repair costs. Toyota missed the mark in quite a few areas. My money is going elsewhere this time.
Different use case for me but came to very much the same conclusions. I am still waiting to see if the hybrid is going to move the needle as far as mileage goes but I suspect I'll be buying something else. I want utility from the bed and can't understand why Toyota neglected it so much from a clean sheet design. I know what Mike Sweers said about it but it just doesn't add up. He loves that tailgate button. It's actually too low for most people's elbows so people have to bend over to use it. Wow thanks for that Toyota. I guess the composite bed is nice but since the bed is not very useful as is it isn't really a great offering. Needs more time down points, depth, width, easier access, lighting and for many people a higher power output.
ALL dealerships pull the cab on ALL pickup trucks to do any engine repairs because it litteraly takes only 30 minutes to pull the cab, you can do it with the cab on, it will just be extremely uncomfortable reaching deep in the engine.
@@thetechlibrarian A tech with experience absolutely (specificaly a Tacoma with r134a refrigerant) if its one of those newer vehicles with r134yf it may take 50 minutes because those AC machines take a long time to recover.
@@thinkkops853 Where did you get "30 minutes to pull a cab" from? I can guarantee it is great deal more than that; several hours minimum. All that crap going through the firewall has to be disconnected.
@@radarguyus1 From personal experience, took me about 55 minutes to pull a cab on a 2007 Tacoma with the 2gr-fe for some frame work. You remove the connectors from the ecu behind the glove box, and a couple on the fuse block, then the whole harness can be dropped without disconnecting every single engine component, 3 brake lines, (2 on the front, and one in the middle towards the cab) the two fuel lines and evap hose in the rear, the shift and brake cables, ac lines, and 2 radiator hoses, and the heater hose, and brake booster hose. My buddy that works at Toyota pulls one in about 35 minutes with some help.
Key points…the turbo isn’t the issue but the turbo has to be replaced……the issue is not a safety concern because the engine reduces power. Yeah tell that to the guy going freeway speed and suddenly experiences a loss of power. This is totally a safety issue
Great video. I really like the graphics you used throughout the video. Your explanation of how turbos work and the description of the issue was perfect. Thanks for putting out great content like this.
You're very welcome and thank you for watching!
When the last gen tundra redesign debuted in 2007, there was a bad batch of camshafts installed on some of the 5.7 motors. Some of you may remember. Toyota took care of the issue quickly and it eventually became a very rare issue.
@@Pantelifts10 l like Toyota as much as anyone but I have no bias towards any manufacturer, what always astonished me was the super fans act like Toyota never has issues when in fact they have had their share from oil sludge blowing engines to the current halogen headlight fires. But whatever I guess those are not issues to fanboys
It took them 15 Years to Fix all the Bugs on the 5.7, I owned 2. 2020 They addressed all issues including the Transmission issues. 2022 They dump the engine
@@MrGmilton Literally every car manufacturer has issues with lemons. But Toyota hand builds when they design before putting the cars on the factory line, and halt production exponentially more to fix problems before they make it to the product stage.
Problems still leak through, but it's essentially a numbers game. When people say Toyota is reliable it doesn't mean every single car they make is reliable. It's just odds.
@@Pantelifts10 why not do an AIP bypass it's much cheaper that's what I did under $500
Myself and two friends bought 1985 Toyota trucks. Each one ate 2.5qts of oil every 3K. Toyota deemed it within specs. They wouldn't help us. One friend walked out front of the dealer with a sign asking truck owners how much oil they used and how much his used. A few days later the dealer installed a new shortblock. Problem solved. We bought domestic trucks. Problem solved. I still feel Toyota builds the best light trucks in the world. I drove a Hino medium duty tilt cab truck with a box on the back. Hands down themost reliable vehicle I've ever enjoyed. I'm still disappointed that Toyota wouldn't admit a defect.
David, you explained the problem in layman term and I appreciate that. Not a whole lot of us are true engineers like you are so it is greatly appreciated. I sure hope it is not a lingering problem for Toyota since it would hurt their reputation as a reliable automobile makers. For me, I will sit on the side to see how it pans out. I would not want to buy a brand new truck and then cannot use it for more than 30 days. That would really suck.
Thank you! Yes it's concerning issue but I am sure things will get sorted out very soon (if not already) because of Toyota's "kaizen" thinking
David, I appreciate the info. Multiple times you said "potential issue". To me it is clear there is an issue. I think you are splitting hairs when you said it is not a turbo issue because it is the actuator that failed and not the turbo. While the clarification is appreciated, if the turbo has to be replaced, it is a turbo issue. I also expect the service Dept is also calling it a turbo issue unless Toyota has specifically told the service Dept to use other language.
There are many vehicles on the road with turbos. Do they all require the body be removed from the chassis to be repaired? How is this repair done for a unibody?
I would be interested to know how complex it is to remove the body from the chassis and if these owners can expect other issues as a result of the body being removed?
I realize you own a company that works with auto manufacturers and you may have to choose your words carefully.
Totally agree it is at the end a turbo issue. Cannot be separated.
I wonder would it be easier to just pull the motor out instead of removing the frame?
On Mercedes SUV’s we drop the front subframe with the engine and transmission to replace turbos.
Awesome video. As a Toyota guy been researching this truck pretty hard to replace 03 Tacoma. I've always been against turbos but the system has been remarkably improved since the 80's. I really don't want to buy anything that's been assembled or sold during Pandemic era, but perhaps leasing may be the way to go?
If Toyota Customer relations is reading the feedback then OUCH, this is a nightmare PR problem. The Tundra model was the first to shift to small displacement turbo charging followed in the future by Sequoia, 4Runner, and Tacoma. Many lifelong Toyota fans had some skepticism on the reliability of forced induction engines and BOOM, this reinforces the fears.
The other big observations from Toyota DIYers like myself is the impossible serviceability of the new Tundra when problems arise. We all don't have a lift in our garage to lift the cab off the chassis and our confidence with dealership service departments has greatly diminished. The service department is a profit center for the dealership, not to enhance customer loyalty..
I do have confidence that Toyota will (reluctantly) make changes to ensure confidence of it's owners. (They replaced 1/2 million FRAMES on the Tacoma at a cost of $15,000+ per vehicle). Acknowledge the problem, clearly communicate it, and increase the warranty to show confidence in your engineered systems. The Toyota 5.7l has proven itself to be a 1 million mile engine. Can we expect the same from the new 3.5L TT? As a lifetime Toyota enthusiast that never considers another brand..... I'm a bit worried.
Don't worry they will all be electric (and electricity will cost $1500 a month) then power goes out and one will walk. In case no one has figured it out yet, there plan is to 'get people out of the cars' meaning there will be no driving at all. Then TAXED per mile in your electric powered shopping cart. You can charge it with your solar panels that will cost you $50,000.

Toyota - a straight six engine would allow you to add the turbo to the side of the engine.
This type of repair would take 3 to 4 hours.
An inline six is actually more refined than a V6 with the same displacement.
1 head, 1 intake, 1 exhaust..Seems like a no brainer...
My guess would be packaging is the reason why most manufacturers opt to use V6s. I have heard long engines could interfere with alot of crash safety designs(longer and higher hoods)
RAM is rumored to be headed this way along with electrification
Great update David, as usual your explanation is second to none! Disappointing to hear about these issues, but knowing Toyota’s quality over the last three Tundras I bought I’m certain they will get ahead of this quickly. I was holding out for the Hybrid TRD Pro this spring/summer but I may wait until 2023 just to make sure the bugs are worked out.
Thanks you for the vid and explaining everything in detail .
I shared this with someone I know that has experienced this issue. Thank you. You need to add a #8. You paid $60k and now you will be out of your truck for at least 30 days, but realistically 45 days based on what the dealership told this guy. BUT Toyota is expecting their monthly truck payment. I hope these folks had a backup plan if you use this vehicle for work/travel. I appreciate your input!
If they are in a "lemon law" state they may be able to return the truck.
@@kingstonsean I saw another RUclipsr who had this issue that was in a Lemon Law state. Toyota Customer Care operator pretty much told him to do what he had to do, but TCC was not budging in working with him. The outcome for all of these owners will be interesting. Tick tock.....
I am so happy I bought the last 2021 Tundra in Dec. I test drove the new 2022 a few days ago and the only thing better about this truck is the interior. Fuel mileage on the 2022 was almost the same as the 2021.
Did someone kick you in the head?

There’s no way from a simple test drive to get an accurate read on fuel economy. Especially because when you’re test driving, if you’re doing it right, you’re accelerating and braking more aggressively than you would under normal driving conditions.
I am a master toyota tech, I can tell you that ALL new, first year models have problems. We always say, wait at least 1 or 2 model years before you buy. If you want the first year, that is what the warranty is for. Also, people are looking for reasons to hate the new turbo engine, that is why this issue has gotten so much attention. The tundra has always gotten the engine from the lexus LS (at least a variant of it) Which has been known as one of the most reliable vehicles ever made for decades. The LS has been using this basic engine for 5 years, most bugs were already worked out years ago. The current generation camry had many issues during the first year or two that I stopped recommending it, as I write this, I realize that it has become a Camry again, most of the issues worked out. Don't think the general public knew about these issues.

Thank you David - very informative!
Hi David! I've been watching all your videos about new Tundra and was very excited about this vehicle. Especially after hearing your opinion as an engineer not to be worry about buying a new redesigned model as far as build quality is concerned. Now it seems to be quite controversial. I was actually planning to test drive a new Tundra this weekend and possibly order one. Needless to say I am much less enthusiastic about it. Still appreciate your insight and knowledge, I hope you will keep providing valuable information regarding Toyota vehicles and new Tundra. Thank you!
Thank you for always watching my videos! Yes this one is a controversial one for sure, but until I get a better understanding of exactly what is happening (right now, it's still quite speculative), I will hold my judgement a little longer. I am quite sure that it will get resolved quickly regardless, but let's wait and see how Toyota responds...
2023 Toyota Tundra needs to have a V8, Now we know the cab has to come off to change the turbos which will be the first thing to go on that truck. That will be an expensive repair if you keep your truck Beyond 100 or 150,000 miles. V8 No Turbo
Thank you for the information.
Great explanation, thanks.
people are already reporting that turbos are failing, it was not rocket science to figure out that the new engine was all for EPA reasons and now reliability will never be the same.
Removing the cab from a truck with 300 miles for repairs is dramatic to say the least. I saw a post on FB from a Toyota mechanic stating they had 10 trucks at his dealership waiting for new turbos so there is quite a bit more with this problem than we know of.
Side note.....why doesnt Toyota put e-fans on those small turbo radiators to aid in cooling?
Does any dealer even have 10 trucks yet let alone 10 broken ones.... lol

Like David said. There is no perfection…. on anything may i add. It’s impossible but how they address it makes a difference. Anything that is a new Gen with new tech for that vehicle will have its issues. Phones , TVs, Computer’s…. Vehicles etc etc. Tacoma had some issues in 2016 with the new 3.5l. So some issues are to be expected. Im not minimizing the issue. For me its a big deal. Which is why i didn’t pull the trigger on one. I think same thing will apply to the hybrid engine.
I remember when we were assured this engine would be "bulletproof" because it was used in the LS500 and LX600.

@@naveenthemachine That's not reassuring. Ring gap is incredibly critical on turbo applications. At that point you are in short block territory if you catch it early, and long block + turbos if you catch it late.
The engine is generally bulletproof. Even aircraft turbine engines have failures, though it is very rare. Toyota makes very good products, but people are expecting commercial aircraft quality levels for consumer prices.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q people are expecting Toyota level reliability and are paying higher than normal prices
@@stevieray1828 Toyotas sell for competitive prices with all the other large manufacturers. Cars are very inexpensive for what you are getting.
Hi David, two questions please. One, if you had this issue it would likely be on just one turbo but wouldn't you want to change both turbos when you have the entire truck apart as the other would have the faulty part as well? Second, if this were to happen out of warranty, what do you estimate the repair cost would be for one or two turbos?
Thanks, Rick
Informative. Thank you.
Very informative! I subscribed & Thanks for the great videos!
Thanks for the sub!
David, thanks for the explanation and turbo charger overview. You do a great job explaining the root cause of the issue. Just ignore any over-reactions. People will say anything behind a keyboard.
Great explanation, thanks for the detailed breakdown. The best strategy is to always wait for the second model release of any new vehicle....even a Toyota.
Great info, thanks.
Awesome video and thank you! Tundra owner last 10 years, switched from Dodge and Nissan, I hope Toy gets this right. I hate to see such a loyal crowd of followers get burned.
Great video. I’ll stick to a natural aspirated engine! I drive slow + keep vehicles 15-20 years so reliability is more important than fuel savings or speed. If all of the new vehicles being made will have turbos or hybrids then I’ll only buy used vehicles with n/a engines in the future.
@biblereader It's Toyota. Odds are the thing is gonna be over built and bulletproof. They wouldn't change the tried and true platform if they didn't believe in it.
If you drive slow, the turbo isnt a factor anyways. Most dont even spool under 3k rpm. And the wastegate doesnt come into play until over that.
@@rooey2816 almost no truck driver goes slow. Most of them go faster than most vehicles in the road. I see it daily
@@Pantelifts10 maybe “drive slow” wasn’t the right wording. I’ve had a Subaru STI with work done and a Honda Civic Si turbo and I could do 80mph staying out of boost. It’s 100% rpm driven. Stay under 3-3500 rpm and the waste gate shouldn’t come into play.
I like supercharged engines. You get the reliability of an NA engine and still have boost.
Great video..I have a few pictures of a Tundra with its cab body completely off the rolling chassis up on a lift for the mechanics to be able to work on the turbos and exhaust manifold..scary if that happens out off warranty as it looked very expensive to pay for..
Same repair for a Ford Ecoboost 3.5 TT as well. Cab has to be removed. I wasn't aware, but apparently removing a cab for repairs isn't that uncommon for modern trucks. Just way easier to work on. Still troubling if they do it wrong.
think of all the connectors that need to be unplugged to remove the cab from frame. Tell me if the tech breaks a retaining clip on one that he will replace that connector or just say screw it and jam it back together and hope for the best. Than you have intermittent electrical issues. Not a warm and cozy feeling.
@@Boobtube. No doubt electrical grimlins are hard to chase down..even if the clip doesn't break they have rubber seals on some that even a nick or pinch can cause problems with it..I'm sure they would have a record of what happened early on and perhaps cut the owner some slack hopefully..but at 30days of it being broken it hits lemon law in my state I'm from..making them buy it back..which still its a good deal..it should be a even trade for another Tundra..
@@agentcovert Dealers are in business to make money. Service is where they make their money. I highly doubt a dealer will admit any wrong doing from their technician and fix a problem created by a tech, and fix the problem for free. Follo the dollo... GREED
@@Boobtube. I have not had good luck with Toyota mechanics. That is why I try to do all my own work but obviously not a job that big. You won’t see me buying that truck. I will keep my V-8 thank you. A few more dollars in gas maybe but the truck will run forever. And easy to work on.
Good no nonsense review.
Great explanation keep up the good work
Well if the wastegate is part of the turbo, its the turbo thats the issue. If you have to replace the whole turbo its the turbo thats the issue.
Nobody has seen the turbo outside the engine bay and examined the waste gate. Most new designs have an electronic wastgate that works with a computer to manage the actuator. The truck ecu will detect loss of pressure from the turbo and protect the motor from damage. Most people have no idea how a turbo system works
@@beexiong2995 you are reply to a different question or response. No one is questioning how it works.
Add the general complexity of not just one Turbo but TWO and then add in a Hybrid system with Electic Motor... Yikes 🙄
All hail and "Long live the existing Tundra V8's" 👍
thank you, excellent vidio.... would this have anything to do with/or do you know why my 2022 tundra oil pressure is so low?
David thanks for the video. Very informative. Seems to be an isolated part issue. Supplier may have cut corners on the actuator software/hardware . If thats the case ill wait to see if its ongoing. As for the cab being removed i get that its either that or removing the whole engine and they opt for the cab as its less time /labor/ hours ? to do it that way?. Ive seen a few driving aroeund here in L.A. one even from Texas. They do seem to look like other GM or Ford. Wish it had more distinctive look to it. Also waiting to see what the hybrid will have in terms of glitches. My 2007 5.7 is still a teenager and still going strong.
Glad I canceled mine. This engine is to complex for the fuel mileage it gets. Looks like you wouldn't want to keep it after the warranty expires due to possible future repair expenses. Should have had a non turbo option. This really puts a thorn in the Toyota brand.
Lmao dude. Just keep your 05 tundra
That’s what the world has come to, but I cannot justify a new truck every 5 years or so, hence trying to get the most reliable truck I can get and this New Gen tundra in my opinion won’t do.
Toyota should have kept the v8 option
@@Mycameron2323 it's a 18 6.2 Silverado that gets 19.1 mpg mixed driving.
@@pireina1 With all that tubing and extra plumbing and living in the snow belt you can bet it will not last long
The Tundra should have had a V8. Any savings of fuel and greenhouse emissions have been negated by massive repair efforts under warranty. After 3 years and/or 36,000 miles the warranty expires and become massive repair bills
The minor fuel savings is also negated by the nice jump in price
I would’ve rather had a V8 hybrid than the turBOOOOs.
But then owners will have a reason to talk to all those spam callers about extended warranties.
In aircraft and many other turbocharged engines, the wastegate is 1) not integrated into the turbo itself and 2) not attached to an electronic actuator. Most of them use spring pressure. That’s it. Just a spring. At the very least, there should be a backup spring mechanism to leave the vehicle drivable when the electric actuator fails.
Thank you for the excellent information to help us understand the issue. I wonder, is this the exact same engine as in the LS 500, I have 18 and have had no trouble or CEL. My experience with twin turbo has been excellent, and fuel mileage very good. My experience with Toyota has been phenomenal. I am confident that Toyota will resolve this, but I agree, wait and see.
We're going backwards.
@@naveenthemachine they should make them easier access to change turbos (without removing the cabs) since they will be problematic in the future!!
Electric wastegate - a software issue or whatever it is a Maintenance money pit. Diesels are the only 'turbocharged' engines I would buy, every Gas turbo is a disaster.
So glad I got my 21 tundra 5.7 v8.. thousands of miles and no problems yet… at least I don’t have to worry about turbos and the new v6 engine… Toyota should’ve just left it alone and stop trying to put v6 power in a full size truck. They should’ve built a small inline 6 Cummins in it if they wanted to do a real 6 cylinder. It just sucks that I’ve sworn by Toyota trucks for several years and I’m just not a fan of the 22 tundra and neither are close friends and family as they been hearing and seeing all these v6tt issues. thanks David for all the great info you provide us with….👍👍👍
Excellent David
It’s not the turbo but it’s the turbo and the turbo must be changed. Estimated 10 trucks? Then half are at my dealer
Great video. Horrible attempt at estimating effect size. He says 10,000 trucks have been produced and only a few have this issue. Of the 10,000 produced Toyota has huge quantities of those on QC hold meaning they haven’t been delivered. No idea how many of those have these issue. Also not all owners report on public forums. So saying it’s so a low percentage of trucks affected was a huge over reach. Only Toyota knows.
Really appreciate this explanation. I appreciate it's an actuation problem, but as you point out, it is still a replace the turbo issue. Taking the body off the chassis is not going to make me happy, at all! I'm more interested in the hybrid which is close to coming around now. I wonder if I'll be doubling my chances of problems, by purchasing the hybrid? My comments are more rhetorical than anything. Although I am at a loss of what to do. I'm sure it's more than 3-5 people experiencing this. Going into limp mode is more for the manufacturer than the owner (during warranty period).
Thank you very much for your explanation. It was very helpful.
Good info ..
The hybrid version will only bring further complications as well. Curious to see how the turbos will hold up against dust/dirt for people who drive these trucks on dirt/washboard roads everyday.
Weird because i see 200-300k mile gen 1 prius in the shop almost daily. Mainly getting new hybrid batteries and inverters as for hybrid issues. Itll blow a head gasket first before it has any hybrid issues.
Prius and the Tundra. Both completely different vehicles.
@@Theturks1990 They use the same part# inverter and battery as the 2022 prius prime bud. Im a toyota technician i see these every day.
How many Hybrid Tundras have you seen so far in the shop?
@@Theturks1990 Numerous mainly just for simple services.
To already have a waste gate actuator problem raise its head is concerning. The need to separate the body from the frame in order to remedy the issue is alarming. Two Questions: Why wasn't the body and chassis built around this particular engine to insure easier serviceability ? Would you consider this deficiency an engineering failure on part Team Toyota?
Put yourself in a future time and date, after the warranty expires. Most independent garages will not be capable of this repair - if the mechanic is forced to raise the body from the chassis to replace the part.
That's insane!!!
Most any shop with a lift and basic shop tools can remove a cab on a truck. It’s dramatic to see but not that insanely difficult.
Also, I’d be willing to bet, Toyota will offer a customer support program regarding this issue. Meaning, they will PROBABLY extend the warranty coverage for this repair. Likely to 10 years or 150k miles.
Toyota has been extremely generous in regards of taking care of expensive known issues.
Removing the cab is more common than you think and is not difficult for a qualified mechanic. It allows easy access and more space to work.
Maybe once the cab is lifted, it's easier for the mechanics to do a good job. I'd rather my truck get a thorough job with cab off/easy access than reaching into engine and fiddling around not being able to see what you're doing.
Great video!
My only concern is why the turbo maintenance requires to remove the cabin to access the component. Shouldn't be a design requirement when building this new truck to have easier maintenance to engine components?
Thank you.
Thank you for the input in regards to this issue. Although it would give me a valid excuse to have a lift installed in my shop 🤣. What you stated at 7:10 has cooled my jets of placing an order for the truck, it has the same design issue as the 2006 f250 super duty. That issue of needing to separate the cab from the chassis to get to the turbos are a big No no for me if I’m planning to keep this truck for 10+ years. If I go for the hybrid, I will also be adding the complexity of dealing with a high voltage system on top of the design short coming of the turbo placement.
The people freaking out about this are hilarious. Toyota isn't GM or Ram. It isnt like they are going to continue to sell a truck with problems like the LS and Hemis with their Camshafts or lifters that fail or exhaust manifold bolts that break all the time, or oil filter housing issues. They will probably send out engineers, have a recall/TSB and slow production until they get the issues resolved. Sure it sucks for first year buyers but every manufacturer is a gamble. However Toyota is still probably a lot less of a gamble as they usually have excellent customer service. The 2007/2008 Tundras had a issue with the front differential being noisy and rear wheel bearings being noisy or camshaft towers leaking, and vacuum pumps failing but they got those issues resolved in the later years and often had a customer satisfaction program the covered many years and miles of service because they knew it was a issue.
@@danielmeador1991 GM, Ram, and F150 have problems but never truly address them. GM is in the middle of a class action lawsuit for camshafts in V8 going as far back as 2014 and still occurring in 2021 trucks, they just install the same faulty parts. Most first new model years of trucks have problems. I doubt the 2024 Tundra will have the same problems as the 2022 that's the difference between a good American built Truck like Tundra built with good American Made parts and a "American" built truck like Silverado or Ram with majority of its components built in Mexico or China.
@@danielmeador1991 you can't just deactivate the AFM system especially if you live in a area that has emission testing or if it still under warranty. That's a federal offense to remove emissions parts on a vehicle that came equipped with it.
You are right about GM. They have had problems with their engine lifters in their Silverado since 2009 and have yet to fix the problem
Toyota has had class action lawsuits as well for not fixing engines blowing up due to oil sludge at low miles just saying
@@MrGmilton they had a recall for that. I replaced some under recall. There were a lot of people that never went in for the recall and not all vehicles were affected. GM on the other hand has had camshaft issues for a lot of years and never had a recall and sellsbthe same parts that are known to fail.
Question: is this issue happening on SR models with the de tuned engine or solely on the higher output models?
Hi David, I always enjoy your well thought out and well researched videos. I have a question, I'm torn between buying a new Ford F150 Platinum or a new Toyota Tundra 1794. The Ford has a naturally aspirated V8, the Toyota has a V6 with twin turbos. I hear from my older motorhead friends that a twin turbo will wear out faster due to excess heat from the turbos yet the Ford V8 will last longer and it also has a much greater towing capacity. So, should I be worried about a V6 twin turbo not lasting as long? I'd really appreciate an answer if you could give me help on this. Thank you, Peter.
A poll was conducted in the FB group. It was around 10-12% that responded they had the waste gate issue out of 110 to 130 people that responded.
I dont think the percentage is quite that high, but it seems it is definitely a lot higher than what the engineer stated in this video.
10-12% with the problem now, but what happens after it exits warranty in 3 yrs?
This has me really torn, this type of issue is ridiculous and unacceptable but… is this just the risk you take by being first to get a new generation vehicle? Half the reason the older Tundra and current 4Runner, Tacoma are so great because they are ancient in design and had in some cases over a decade to work through things like this
I’m really not concerned. Out of the 20k already delivered maybe 20 trucks have the issue.
I just purchased my ancient 2022 4 runner. Couldn't be happier. Hopefully my straight 6 envoy will die someday so i can enjoy my new purchase...
I have 2 newer ancient 4Runners on purpose. 2020, and 2021.
I've read elsewhere that it was a second party manufacture defect issue with a small batch of parts, that seemed to have build dates the first week of Dec. I'm in the same boat as you, my Platinum had 3 build date delays and then 3 shipping delays. My initial build date was Dec 13; I am wondering if the delays were part of waiting for new parts of a known faulty part order.
Great video. Thank you. Here’s a thought, maybe Toyota needs to give us the non-turbo V8 everyone is asking for. I’m a Toyota guy and own a 1st Gen Tundra. I will never buy the new Tundra as long as it has a turbo. You’ll NEVER see the space shuttle miles of the 1st and 2nd Gen with the 3rd Gen turbo. Not to mention the eye watering repair bill WHEN the turbos pop.
I really hope this is happening to just a few and that this issue gets fix quickly.
At the end it is a turbo issue if the turbo needs to be replace. If an engine part is giving you issues can you say is not an engine issue? Please
It might not be a problem with the turbo itself, but it is part of the turbo functionality process and the turbo needs to be replaced? 🙄
But he problem is a big problem that should have not happened, this is supposed to be a very, very tested engine.
This issues are happening with engine with very, very low mileage. That is indeed very troublesome.
I really don’t understand why people are jumping so fast in buying an all new redesign truck in the first year of release, but regardless of that, we should just expect the usual bugs, etc.
These are major issues not just little bugs. At the end the consumer should never be afraid of the first redesigns and in this case the new tundra, I expected more from Toyota, they definitely had the time to make this flawless, or at least very very close.
Actually the fact it’s happening so early is a very good thing. That’s because you know it’s a specific defect in the part that caused it to fail. That’s much better than a failure at 50k miles which would indicate a cheap part that’s not designed to last.
But...but I was assured that going to a V6TT from the NA V8 would be a non-issue as they're just as reliable as the NA V8.
Huh...I guess I was right in buying my GX 460 now with the V8.
More parts == more complication == more problems.
I bought a GX460 as well. So glad I didn't get suckered into the new Tundra. This issue doesn't bode well for how these trucks will be serviced at 100k/200k/300k miles. YIKES.
I work at the dealer they already have a tsb to call the engineers when you come across this issue which indicates there’s enough out there that causes alarm for a tsb however it’s only for wastegate codes not necessarily immediate turbo assembly replacement so out of all of them maybe very few get turbos
Just hope there’s no problems with mine. I just ordered one in January. Should be here by March.
I knew there’d be problems with the turbos eventually. Maybe not right away but after a few hundred thousand miles they’re probably gonna need some maintenance. The problem I’m having is where Toyota designed this thing to where you have to remove the entire cab to be able to replace them. That is a complete failure on Toyotas engineers and totally bullshit in my opinion. They took a job that should only take a day of work and made it into a week long ordeal. Sure these issues are covered under warranty now but how much is this job gonna cost the consumer when it happens outside of warranty. We all know Toyota service centers aren’t cheap.
I couldn't have said it better. My thoughts exactly.
agreed, to design a truck whereas the cab must be removed from the frame to do turbo work is pathetic. The turbos have to be one of the most prone parts to have problems, and the truth is showing it's ugly head already.
Lol, Techs do that because it litteraly takes 30 minutes to remove, and some of the people working on the trucks in the dealerships are over 6ft tall, which becomes really difficult and uncomfortable to do any work at all. All work done on pickups at dealerships, I’ve seen they usually pull off the cab.
@@thinkkops853 uh, I would think if the cab did not have to be removed to do the job, they would not remove it. They would just put the shorter guys on those jobs. The cab must be removed, the height of the tech has nothing to do with it.
@@Boobtube. Nope, for example, Toyota and Alldata does not require the tech to pull off the cab on a timing cover reseal for a Tacoma on a 2GR, yet many techs do it either way because the grill is so long its very difficult for some older techs to reach around. Its really not that hard to pull the cab, the longest process of it is recovering out the freon. You must not work on cars very often, or you’re shorter than 6ft because climing in some trucks to do some work requires you to remove the hood because your head is hitting the hood already, not only that but your back is going to go through some tough shit if your going to be bent over reaching deep in ghe engine bay for extended periods of time, when you can just pull the cab and avoid all the bullshit for only 35-40 minutes.
Sounds like it's going to be pretty expensive to replace the turbocharger labor wise if the turbochargers eventually go out over a period of time I think I'll stay away from the new tundras for now as I was actually about to purchase one
I wonder how difficult would be to replace spark plugs. The lexus is250 requires removing of the intake manifold and other parts .With this tundra may be necessary to remove the cab from the frame to access the back of the manifold and than change the spark plugs???
Thanks for the update, David.
Do you have any knowledge of where Toyota sources their Turbos from? I know this sounds like a fail on Toyota’s part but these days, most components are not built in-house, and if these are sourced components, the failures could be seen on other vehicles that use the same turbos, even from other manufacturers. Note that I’m saying turbos and not wastgate valves because I’m assuming that the assembled turbos, including wastegate valves are being provided by the same company.
I don't have an answer yet, but the turbo/wastegate would come a supplier. Let me look into who is producing it...
Reference the hybrid model, is Toyota still going to use nicad batteries in lieu of lithium because of the lithium shortage? If so I'd be concerned because of my experience with nicad batteries in tools failing quicker. Also if the turbo waste gates fail outside of warranty I can only.imagine the obscene repair cost to the owner. Having to remove cab from frame. Also is the new Lexus LX600 affected by this issue?
Lexus has more quality parts compare to Toyota. Same engine but different supply
Old saying “ Never buy the first year” even if it’s a Toyota. I would definitely make Toyota give me 100,000 mile warranty on truck if I had this problem.
if you had this problem after buying it, your warranty is what it is. Your only choice is to get it fixed and than sell it. Which i feel is what alot of people will end up doing. So in less than a yrs time, the used truck market is going to be flooded with cheap 2022 Tundras that no one wants.. I Pity all these people that paid so much over MSRP for a truck that may be worth nothing in 6 - 9 months.
Hi, have you covered the topic of the total axel weight shown on the door being less than the truck weight? Previous versions had a higher total axel weight than total vehicle weight.
Did they not adjust the manual dump arms opening length? Meaning it doesn't dump on actuation causing the ecu to trigger overboost? Turbos have both electric actuator + dump arm that opens the flap.. seems to me this could be the problem 😕
I think I'll keep my 2017 Tundra 5.7 V8, thank you.
I'm waiting till 2023 model. Bugs should be worked out by than. Do you know your VIN # of your new truck? Can you use that to see what the status of your truck is? I would say your engine/turbos were built long before this issue arose, so yes, you might very well have the issue. Personally, if the dealer had to remove the cab from the frame of my truck, I would be selling it after it is fixed. I'm of the mindset that the dealer does not have the correct ability to do that kinda work and things will not be put back together correctly. Just think of all the wiring harnesses that need to be disconnected. If the tech breaks a clip on a connector, is he going to replace that connector or just jam it back together and hope it stays put. Why toyota would design things like this is not understandable. Another factor to consider is the work units that Toyota will pay the dealer to do this type of cab off frame work will be way under what they really need to do the job correctly. So the tech will be in a hurry and create so many other issues that now that truck will have nothing but problems. I am waiting till 2023, and even than, I am not 100% sure I will be buying a Tundra. I buy for long term, 15+ years. Not short term like you do, so maybe my concerns are not your concerns since you change out vehicles often.
So much for your previous statement on a million miles.
I would be interested to hear David's opinion regarding the potential increased efficiency of the 5.7 with a new transmission.
I'm confident Toyota will take care of this issue right away! After all they're not GM
yes toyota will be on it like they were on it for the fuel tank issue on the Rav4s which still have no solution 3 to 4 years in.
Well, the wastegate is a part of turbocharger. However the control side isn’t. The turbochargers wastegate is electronically control by an actuator in this case that Toyota uses which is very common in all newer turbocharged vehicles. Some brands, the control side isn’t available individually so you have to buy a whole turbocharger because 1 wastegate is mechanically on the turbocharger if wastegate failed mechanically. 2 wastegate control side whether is vacuum control by a solenoid or electronically control by an actuator it depends on how the availability is individually. For example when I used to work for Acura I remember the RDX model you have to buy a whole turbocharger to fix the wastegate problem, because the wastegate control vacuum diaphragm, rod and pivot are not available for purchase individually. But with Audi on most models you can just buy the wastegate control actuator. So if the wastegate itself is mechanically stuck then good luck, at that point you need a turbocharger assembly. Well don’t get me wrong. Anything can be repaired or replaced there’re people who rebuild turbos. Just in this case if you say turbocharger isn’t faulty I can’t agree. because turbo and wastegate work as whole, come build together as whole so they’re one component. Let’s see what Toyota investigation turns out on this turbocharger problem then we’ll have solid evidence. Maybe it’s as simple as just the pivot getting stuck some tap and lubricants fix it or maybe just a bad actuator or a simple flash/coding.
Is there any update on this? i just ordered my Tundra but, continue to see the issue come up on multiple forums across many of them.
