- Update! Oil Analysis Coming Soon!
Well the peer pressure got to me! Hahaha! I took a trip to several dealerships just to see how much they would give me for my 2023 Toyota Tundra Platinum that has an active recall on the engine. Honestly the numbers somewhat surprised me. What do you all think would be a fair number for a Tundra Platinum with over 30,000 miles on it. All prices listed didn't include the extra tax savings if I were to trade in. We stopped at several dealerships including Toyota, Ford and Chevrolet. We also received offers from Carmax and Carvana.

Thank you! Hey that's what a warranty is for! Still love the truck like the day I drove it off the lot
Thanks for making the follow up video. The values don’t look bad at all. 👍🏽 great job!
You are welcome! I was surprised. I feel like a little negotiation could get that number up some. These were the first numbers they came back with
Thank you for the video. I just got back from a 650 mile drive. I have a 2023 Tundra Platinum 4x4 non hybrid. 20k miles. Drove like a dream on the freeway, smooth, enough power. I was a bit hesitant, but it all worked out fine. Hopefully Toyota has a remedy and makes it right .
You are welcome! I am sure they will make it right but time will tell. At least they are acknowledging a potential issue. So far for me, no issues with mine. I should cross 31k by the weekend.
@@LivingwithCable I thought about trading in my tundra when news came out about the engine recall, but I really thought about it , and I really don’t want to go to another brand. Call me a fan boy, but in the long run , hope Toyota makes it right for everyone.
@fjorge4014 I had such good luck with my 07 tundra and the fact I bought a new f150 several years ago but got really disappointed in it, I couldn't go any other brand.
@@LivingwithCableI thought about trading in my truck, mostly with all the engine recall news. Toyota knew that recalling the tundras would cause this much news. They still did the right thing though. I really hope they take care of everyone who are having issues.
That's easier said than done when your truck is laid up at the dealership with a substantial repair that will follow it on Carfax. When your main mode of transportation is in the shop for months on end, you will feel differently.
When there is a known major issue that is a great time to get out before the problems begin.
Many makes have issues but this is a massively substantial one that will leave thousands of owners in the lurch and in negative equity even more so than it's already severely declining depreciation.
You are never guaranteed anything with any vehicle. Yes it is a major recall but many vehicles have major problems. Unfortunately a friend of mine lost his entire shop including some precious items from his late dad and grandfather.
Guess what it, was his Cadillac CTS-V. His wasn't part of the 2014-2016 recall as his was a 2011. They did pinpoint the fire started at the Cadillac.
I do understand your frustration when something does go wrong. It sucks but these are mechanical things with really complex systems.
Part of the blame lies on our government regulations and the push for electric vehicles and unreasonable fuel efficiency making engineers push boundaries that shouldn't be pushed.
The other part is the crappy work force we have now developed. It was on a decline from the get-go, but Covid really give it a heck of a hand.
@@LivingwithCablejust watched the car care but vid of his opinion on the recall. It’s a rather long video but even he suggests not rushing to trade in your Tundra. You won’t get what it’s worth and he seems to be pretty confident that Toyota will fix whatever issue may or may not arise
@joshpowell8285 yeah I am keeping mine till she dies. I do have some oil analysis kits coming Saturday. I am going to send one off the first of the week just to see.
I was still kind of shocked at what they offered me for the miles I have plus the recall issue.
I don't follow. A massive recall would be all over the news. I'm in TX the truck capital of the US and this story is no where. I had my wife's Pacifica in for a service and asked the mechanics about this story, they didn't know anything. All they had to share were horror stories about the Rams, how they were constantly fixing them. I suspect this 'recall all Toyota trucks' is a Bog Three hoax to get people to pay 80K for a Dodge or Ford version of a 60K Toyota.
@@skiman6810 I did get a notification from my Toyota app about the recall. It hasnt slowed me down. We just got back from a trip and I put another 500 miles on without issue. I do think people are blowing it out of proportion.
Great video. Normal guy with a positive attitude. Appreciate you sir!
Thank you! I appreciate you!
You should grab that 50K. You won't get that offer again.
I don't plan on ever selling! I keep them till they die, well except for the Ford I bought. I love this truck. Owned over a year and half and still love it
@@LivingwithCable Then you won't get hurt. I don't understand these people that trade in every 1 to 2 years.
@@LivingwithCableso another week or so?
@@CharlieRogers50😂😂
I would 👍🏼
We have 110k miles on our 22 tundra delivery vehicle which was built in late 21 and is under the recall but no issues yet.
Heck yeah! My 07 made it 255k until I obliterated a deer then I bought this one
@@LivingwithCable
We had a 16 and 19 that went 350k+, still running good when we got rid of them.
@troy5061 I love the redesign of the new generation. It was well over due. I did like the 5.7 though
You did extremely well considering the mileage and it is a trade-in.
Everything on this lot is a piece of crap! 🤣 Love my truck and i am a proud fanboy! Great video, man. Thanks for doing all this! Happy Father's day to you
You are welcome! I called it how I see it! Thank you!
As he was pulling into the Chevrolet Dealership he described their trucks as "pieces of crap." I haven't ever owned anything but Fords and I can honestly say they are ALL crap!. You put a bit over 30,000 miles in a year. GREAT VIDEO!
Haha good point, all are cheap pieces of crap that cost 2 arms and a leg! Thank you!
The bigger problem is when it blows OUT of WARRANTY and that’s not far off with your current mileage. Toyota’s “July” fix will probably just be oil analysis with a free oil change. So happy I kept my 2010 5.7L.
I agree that out of warranty is a concern. I am curious as to what they will say the fix is.
@@LivingwithCable It’s a “design flaw”, the recall includes Lexus engines same problem bearing. It’s a design flaw because engines are built in different factories so it’s highly unlikely that it’s “leftover debris”.. Toyota had to come up with some kind of explanation. The NHTSA were probably going to force Toyota to issue this safety recall so not sure why so many are giving Toyota credit? Fact is Toyota is in business to make money and have cut corners in their Truck Division so sad.. You should’ve stuck with the 2.0 or 2.5 Tundra Generation..
Well I feel they at least were somewhat proactive on the issue. Time will tell but the 30k miles I have put on mine have not easy miles. Pulling heavy trailers around, not little lawn mower trailers. I don't think it is a design flaw because we would see more failures than we are seeing.
@@LivingwithCable It’s a New design, failures may increase as mileage increases and hit at 60, 70, 100k miles? Well out of warranty.. 🤷♂️
I'm on my 4th Tundra (technically first one was a T100). I liked the 4.7 engine, the 5.7 on was murder on milage. My current Tundra has the iForce MAX and its neck snappingly quick with the hybrid system. Let's see if it grenades.
I have the same year and color Platinum as you w/ 33k miles. I’ve shopped around the last couple days for trade in offers ranging from $41-$48k in Orlando.
I love the color. Hides dirt so well!
How does the recall work. Can you just ride your motor until it dies, then go in for the recall?
Honestly I don't know yet. The only thing I have received is a notification on the app saying my truck has a safety recall due to potential machining debris. It also states that Toyota is working on a solution. I will update everyone as I know more information on what to expect. I did hit 31k miles this weekend and so far so good. I did order some Blackstone oil test kits. Interested to see what they say once I can send samples off
Good job, lotta work. Did your truck get the recall for the plastic fuel line possible leak?
Yes it did! Thank you
Send a engine oil sample to blackstone labs. If the oil doesn't contain above normal bearing materials, you'll be fine.
Everyone that owns this truck should do that & report analysis here!
I plan on doing that next week. Really curious of what it will say
Before this is all over, the only way Toyota will be able to save their brand is throw in a 10 year warranty on all components of the power train. They need to show us that they stand behind their product or they will have a hell of a hard time selling their trucks.
I am curious as to what they will be doing for the recall. Will it be an extended warranty or will it be a short block. Still not sure at this point. I would be happy if they did extend the warranty.
If you really like Tundra, then trade it in for different model and wait for a new one with redesigned engine. When the warranty expires and Toyota engine settlement offers peanuts, and your engine has any issues, you’re going to wish you got rid of it. Manufacturers pull the same play on problematic new engines.
Nothing guarantees trading it in for another would be better. I tend to drive my vehicles until I kill them. I will take it as far as she will go. Who knows, maybe way down the line I 5.7 swap it.
On a side note, the offers weren't too bad for me having over 30k on the clock. There is only one thing I would change on my truck and that is the air leveling suspension.
@@LivingwithCable Well, any Toyota vehicle that will hold its value better than the recalled tundra probably would do, even the new Taco maybe?
@@hyojoonus problem I I need at least a half ton. I will say, that new taco looked really nice
Chris didn't mess up, that was just a hilarious Freudian slip.
Keep that beautiful truck!
My dealer has a lifetime powertrain warranty so
Yeah I have one too from a third party that the dealer included. Not sure how good it really is but who knows, I may eventually find out.
Sold my 1st gen 2007 with 225K mi and replaced w/ the '24 SR5. I "looks" like my mfg date is outside the recall dates with latest mfg dates of 2/23. Mine is 10/23. I HOPE this is the case and best of luck to you folks who are affected by this. I'm already getting emails from lemon law attorneys. They're clearly smelling Toyota blood in the water.
I wish I still had my 07. Don't get me wrong, I love this truck but I would have kept my 07 for a work truck. They still have not produced a remedy on the app. They did have a release saying that new engines will be installed.
Next week, I will be heading to the dealer for my 35k mile service. I also am about to pull another oil sample to send off
Someone besides Toyota will pay for 102,000 brand-new engines.
What happens to the old ones?
Shipped to India and salvaged?
I sure hope THAT will not be the case.
But ...
Yeah I wonder if they will pass the blame off. I keep hearing they are going to destroy them. I wish I could keep mine but that won't happen
Those numbers are play number .not the actual cash offer .they will doing strategy with you
Those numbers are not the final . Dealership is very smart
Facts, those are Not Real numbers… Just a start, resale on these Gen 3’s are dropping fast…
I like your attitude bro.. don’t sell it.
Paying that amount for a Truck is still insane. Toyota is crapping over right now. Will see how much blood they will lose because of their recalls.
I was denied trade in at gm in my city. Ford gave me a trade-in. I. I'm really happy with my new f150
Interesting, I guess it all depends on the dealers. I didn't mind my Ford till I pulled a trailer.
@LivingwithCable yeah I just got it yesterday. Its rated tow capacity is 11000 to 13500 for the crew cab. So it's on par for the tundra. Will see how it drives under load in the future. With that said, usually just pull a 14-foot fishing boat and a ln 8ft utility trailer, so I think it will be fine. 🍻
@dougreed736 I definitely liked the power more on the Ford. The Tundra feels like more lag. The issue I had with towing a heavier trailer is it felt unstable and all over the road. I haven't had that with either of my Tundras
@LivingwithCable yeah the 2022 tundra towed great. Will see how this ford is lol
is your truck a 4X4?
No I didn't get a 4x4
You be crazy to trade it in. It’s fine bud. lol
Keep it. Enjoy it bro
Hang on to my 2015 till see what 2025s problems be
I do miss my 5.7 other than the fuel mileage but in all honesty, it's not drastically better. On a lucky day maybe 1.5 miles per gallon more
Take the money, or make a trade. Turbo V6 will give you a lifetime of trouble. Have you looked at the Titan?
I did before I bought this one but not a fan of Nissan due to the issues my mom has had with her car. Not a fan of the dealers around here.
I took a gamble in 07 on the 5.7 and never had a issue including not hanging the oil like I should.
Going saddle up and see who outlast who
I just traded my 23 limited for a 24 xd titan . I sleep well now.
I would gladly take 50k for a pile of junk.
50k is a great offer
6:35 wish my wife would say such things!
Hahaha
So here's the thing, I'm a 2022 owner, I didn't like what was going on and I went on Google maps cuz I was pissed off and I left a one-star review, actually changed my five-star review, I didn't get rid of it or delete it. It I just added an update at the very top explaining how I feel like I've bought a worthless piece of junk! I feel robbed. I don't feel like I bought a Toyota. I don't feel like I have any value to what I bought and I don't feel like they have a solution. At any rate, the dealership is really anxious to get in touch with me right now and I haven't talked to them yet! I have an appointment with another dealer soon but the thing is I didn't stop there. I'm going to a bunch of different dealerships on Google maps and leaving the same review because as long as it's 100% honest, then there's nothing wrong with it. It is obvious that the dealerships really pay attention to Google maps reviews and they obviously have something set that when they get a one-star review it alerts them! There's nothing wrong with going to Google maps and the hundreds and hundreds of Toyota dealers and tell him Toyota what you feel about them and your purchase right now! If you want some attention to this matter, short of hiring a lawyer that you'll get $0.75 back in the end, I think Toyota needs to stand behind their product and just replacing half of the engine or even the whole engine with another one of the same engines that will have the same problem is not going to be the answer. Any other product that you buy anywhere else they will refund your money. You can take that junk back and give it to them and they'll give your money back! I think that's exactly what needs to happen here. Otherwise they need a whole new engine to put in there and give each and every one of us a warranty! Do you think all of our dealerships are even capable of replacing everything or even making a repair? I don't think so. They haven't even been able to catch up even with the last one with the gas filler line thing that they had to replace that they haven't even had in stock! So now we have to think about we have to go this thing done and that thing done. And oh yeah tear my inch and apart by the way, tear the top of my truck off to get to all of that. And when you give me the new engine g, I hope my turbo wastegates don't fail next LOL. No Toyota you produce a piece of junk and just like anyone else that sells junk. You need to buy this one back!
I feel a little different about this. I would agree giving bad reviews to dealers who are not doing their job. I do disagree with giving them all bad reviews. So far, my dealer has treated me well considering I didn't even buy the truck from them. I saved a bunch going to the next state over.
As far as the engine issue goes, unfortunately no one knows exactly what the fix is. I don't believe it is a design flaw because my motor should be blown by now if that was the case. I pull trailers a decent amount and some are not light, yet I am right now almost at 31k miles.
I will wait and hold judgement for Toyota until I know what will happen on the recall.
Looks like a good candidate for an LS swap😉
Haha if I could justify it, I would put the previous gen 5.7 in.
Toyota/Lexus has really fallen in quality same with Honda/Acura and Nissan/Infiniti. BMW has improved.
Take the money, when warranty is you get your loan to pay for the repair, which now is on carfax, no one should be buying any toyota with a turbo period
Retail is $67k and you don't think $50k is a low ball offer? Ok 😅
Sticker was 63k. I also put over 30,000 miles. Welcome back to precovid
$495 for cheap window tint
Yeah these windows tint prices are absurd. Of course the last time I had my windows tinted was 2007 but back then it was $150 for really good tint. Actually that tint was still on the truck in 2022 when it got totalled. Still was in great shape.
Vendí la mía por $61 1794 híbrida con caja larga 6.5 y tenía 16,000 millas, pero la verdad no me vuelvo a comprar otra. Esta generación de Tundra es una basura y todos lo sabemos.
I am glad that I got a V8, 2017, only 40k, no worries at this point
My 07 with the 5.7 was great. Lasted 255k without hardly any issues. Unfortunately I hit a deer and totalled it
Lmao everything on the Chevy lot is junk, says the guy driving a vehicle that's likely gona blow up. But good luck hope you have a good one.
Sue Toyota
He looks and sounds like boogy lol
Let Toyota engineers explain their problems is like asking the USA Secret Service explain what happens with Trump assassination …
Hahaha good point
Dork
Mine is a 2024 1794 edition and a love the truck if anything happens Im 100 sure toyota will fix it so why worry about that just enjoy your truck 👍👍
Amen! Too many worry about the "what if"
I agree. 22’ 1794 TRD w/ 20k. I’m shocked how many are bashing Toyota. As if they won’t own a recall
@@tarrancecovington7894Yeah a recall on engines blowing up on already overpriced trucks it’s “shocking” 🙄… Watch as the resale on these drop through the floor 😂
Do you know the funniest thing with the recalls oh my God the recalls the engine is gonna blow but you know funniest thing. Toyota will do that for free but if it was American like saying Chrysler Ford or GM they won’t do it. You guys are hypocrites.
Unfortunately we Americans don't have integrity anymore. It's all about the bottom line. It has only gotten worse over the last few years. Everyone thinks they should make tons of money but not put in the work for it. Years ago you could actually have a handshake deal and your word meant something. Unfortunately that is long gone. I agree most Americans are hypocrites.
