Toyota Tundra 100k mile Maintenance and Wear with Heavy Towing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- A summary of the very modest maintenace and wear and a few minor changes made to my 2018 Tundra after 4 years of heavy long distance towing and 100,000 miles (of which at least 60k has been used to tow a 7k GVWR travel trailer back and forth across country)
I put WeatherTech floor liners in my Tundra. I had them in my 2017 Tundra Limited and transferred them over to my 2021 TRD Pro when I purchased it last year. I was also able to transfer over my Toyota bed mat and undercover ultra flex tri-fold bed cover. My main reason for upgrading from the 2017 to the 2021 was because my 2017 was a 2WD and I needed 4WD. I lucked out and got a 2021 TRD Pro in October of 2021 at MSRP with no dealer mark up. To be perfectly honest I was really looking forward to the 2022 Tundra, and was planning on getting one. Once they announced they were going to the V6TT I knew I had to start looking for a 2021 before it was too late. The more I see and hear about the 2022 the more I know I made the right decision.
That was a fantastic find. I would have traded my '18 for that deal, dropped in a trans cooler and been good for another 20 years. LOL
You made the right decision.
Absolutely you did. I was anticipating the 22 so bad and like you I found a used 2020 19k miles. 43k no mark ups. CREWMAX, TRD SPORT 4X4 . It basically has everything the pro has minus the stud plate and fox suspension. I am soo glad I bought this truck instead.
I was ready to drop $50k on the new tundra until I heard the ttv6, smaller cabin, still low gas mileage.
Glad I have my 08 sequoia 5.7L. 206k miles and flawless.
Sucks you dont get cooled seats with the price tag on the 21 TRD Pro
i'm guessing my 2017 will have a million miles on it because i'll never buy a Tundra with a v6
I like new thing too, but nothing out there does it for me right now, but new Tundra would be the last one that I shopped.
This is good info. I bought a 21 platinum. My theory was; basically the only thing wrong with them is poor mpg. But I’d rather pay a little more at the pump then deal with maintenance issues and give up reliability. Odds are it will take them years before they perfect the new generation. And sadly it might never be as reliable as the previous gen. High pressure engines don’t last as long as naturally aspirated motors. These 5.7L were getting 3-400k on basic maintenance. I doubt twin turbo hybrids will get that anytime soon.
You mean 5.7's
@@dalephillips8250 corrected ! Thanks
Agreed!
Best v8 sold and had to screw it up
I own a 2008 tundra 5.7 with around 200k miles. Replaced two starters, water pump, the cheap plastic radiator. Most expensive repair was replacing injectors that went bad at 80k miles. The power door locks went bad and the tailgate release is a bad design that eventually fails. It’s been a good truck all told.
Sounds like a fair number of troubles, but nothing like tgese 2022s😉
Man tundras are the most reliable truck ever
When it has the v-8, the new ones have a 6 banger with twin turbo ( will never last as long as the v8.
Agreed 💯. Good news is they are so overlooked and they made Gen 2 for a long time. Shouldn’t be hard to scoop one up. I have a 20 model that I love. I had a lot of trouble out of newer model Gmc trucks. I couldn’t be more pleased with the switch.
@@ksdad2two look up the testing of the v6 turbo motor
@@ksdad2two how would you even pretend to know that?
@Ryan Moose how do yo unexplained 400000 mile ecoboost s? Have you seen the torque curve? I bet you haven’t
1A Auto sells towing mirrors that are plug and play with the Blind Spot Monitor. I got them 4 years ago, they are way better than the clip on ones.
IF there was some sort of folding mechanism, like the RAM HD, I'd be in favor, but around town, it is too much of a hassle
This is hilarious. I’m watching this video and you said Robbie’s in Augusta. Cheers 🍻 from your neighbor over here in Evans. Truck looks great!
TRD front sway bar did wonders for road feel and cornering on my '21. I added the rear one first with not much benefit.
I have a 2017 Limited double cab that I bought new, and was very disappointed with the Dunlop car tires that it came with. I switched them almost immediately with BFG K02’s that are wearing out now with over 100,000 km on them. I am replacing them with Falken AT3W’s as they are more heavy duty and well set up for towing our travel trailer. I also installed Sumo springs to replace the factory bump stops, it really helps to keep the truck leveled while towing…
Good choice on the TRD sway bar, I absolutely recommend it!
Like that setup you've got a lot.
Are you still on the original stock suspension and if so how is the ride after 100k. I own a 2007 5.7 Sr5 crewmax with 239k miles. I changed out the original shocks at 200k with bilstein 5100.
I am still on original stock suspension, no issues with it at this time. Heard a lot of good things about the Bilsteins. A lot of owners claimthat is the sweet spot on the suspension.
Hopefully my tundra holds up like yours, I have a 2020 crew Maxx trd sport I tow a jay feather 24bh and I'm north east right on the coast and we have no issues towing from ri all the way down to Florida, I have a family of 4 and we love it. Good luck Hopefully you get many more
Safe travels, it will do great.
I have a 2020 SR5 /TRD package Crew Max and Love It . I purchased it used back in April with 25000 miles . You spoke about the chrome console trim and I agree . I would like to get those same trimmings .
Shots fired at the end of the video, I love it!!!!!
Another great video! Can’t wait to see how my 2020 holds up and after watching a lot of videos on these trucks, I actually have faith in this truck!
Just having a little fun with the fanboys
Good video! My biggest disappointment with my two Toyota’s has been the factory tires. Both my 4Runner and Tundra now have KO2s and they are awesome tires.
I take long trips once a year or more; 7,000 miles or more and do the same schedule on oil changes. Normally, I change it at 5,000 miles. I thought about the sway bar but I don’t do towing yet. I do see a little body roll but not much and usually when I’m talking a highway ramp and way over the posted speed limit. If I was towing I’d definitely have the bar.
I have yet to sit or drive a car or truck with as big and roomy a seat as the second gen Tundra. It’s part of the reason I bought the truck.
Spot on about the 2022! Obviously, I love Toyota but the third gen is going to be Toyota’s biggest failure. It’s not a pickup, it’s a mall crawler with a box!
Also Twin turbo V6 in a work truck is not a good idea.
Beautiful truck. Still looks great.
I got a 2016 sr5 with 74k miles only problem I had was the belt and belt tensioner replaced by Toyota no longer a problem
Imagine if you had to get turbo replaced at 300 miles.
@@kedrevs4037 maybe one day nobody ever like change but as a tmmtx work for the pass 13 years I’ve seen a lot of the change and I know with our continuous work towards making the perfect truck will come just like anything new there’s always bumps in the road but as a Toyota owner to another their really isn’t a truck like it the reason why Toyota is on top
I believe your right. I own a 2016 limited with no issues except tires ,battery,oil changes. Bought new in Sept. 2015 I’m sure about reliability and never question if my truck is roadworthy for next trip. Taking the wait and see attitude about the 2022 as it will need to earn my respect. I’m willing to give it a few years to be proven to exceed my Gen 2.🤔
I'm waiting to see on the quality control issues..and a new powertrain. I just don't think a turbo gasser will stand up to my towing
great video actually
Nice looking truck. Toyota quality!
Great video. Feel good owning my 21 platinum after seeing this.
I like how you also put a bed liner on top of the spray-in liner. I got a Black Armour one, very happy with it.
Yes, spray in is a little slick when hauling across county. Plus protects the bed well.
What travel trailer do you tow ? Loaded weight, hitch weight?
I've towed several currently have a '23 Airstream, previously 2007 2720 Trailmanor, 2015 Lance 1975, and 2018 Lance 2375 prior to the Airstream
I got a Tundra 2016, with 108,000 miles on it, still runs like new, only thing I did was replaced tires with O.E.M michelin defender ltx tires and replaced the gear oil in the rear-end, and the 4x4 gearbox and change oil every 5,ooo miles change oil&filter. She has been a blacktop queen.
I have a 2012 Tundra with 100,000 miles on it and the 4.6l-v8 engine. The only problem’s I ever had was pressed together radiator started seeping at the joints in the 70’s or 80’s and the heater/ac blower motor went to full speed and would not stop. Even when the engine was turned off. And the keys removed! I had to disconnect the battery to get the blower motor to stop running. Good thing that worked. The dealership replaced the motor with a new one.
That's pretty wild actually. I wonder how long that battery had in it?
@@kedrevs4037 Believe it or not ! It’s the ORIGINAL battery!!
Are you using the Integrated Brake Controller to tow your trailer? or using after market brake controller? Heard some owners had issues with IBC and installed the Tekonsha brake controller
I’m using the integrated. I’m a 2015 I have an aftermarket break controller. They both actually work well. Originally, I thought my 2018 was failing because I had to turn the gain up to 10 on my Lance 2375 travel trailer. On the Lance 1995 it works great at a gain of 5.0. Someone commented on another video that the brakes on the 2375 needed replaced. Not my most intuitive moment. He was right.
@@kedrevs4037 thank you for sharing, very informative video. Long Live 2nd gen 5.7 Tundra
I don’t put anywhere near the miles on that you do. At the rate I’m going it will be 20+ years before I hit 200k miles unless something changes. It’ll probably outlast me, and, at the rate society is going, it’ll probably outlast gasoline stations! 😂
As many miles as I put, and it just continues to drive like the day I brought it home, worried mine will outlast me.
@@kedrevs4037 Please keep posting videos. I'm curious to see how it does over time.
@@kedrevs4037 How long do you plan to keep it.. how many miles?
Bought mine Feb 2013, 135k miles, no rust no accident. Water pump radiator tstat, etc, replaced by prev owner in 2021. Was Toyota CPO in 2018. Then around 138k: timing chains bad, small coolant leak front under intake, valve cover gasket seepage, 1 bad VVT solenoid drivers side. With 'OEM' chains and components plus new plugs, new accessory belt tensioner (stripped allen bolt) plus new
😅oil change and tire rotation = $3700.
Man thats a lot of work, but. ot a bad price for it
Looking good may God bless your trip and your family
Yours as well.
Hello sir. I was a Chevy man until 2002. I then changed to Ford, again, in 2002. In 2018, I moved over--quite by accident--to a Tacoma. I loved it! But, I have been thinking about a Tundra, pre-2021, for a towing project. I might go back to a new 7.3 10 speed crew cab. I was concerned about the oil cooler. I live in So Cal and don't want to ruin anything in the summer sun. Thanks.
I think a pre '19 Tundra will do fine for you. '19 and after, I would add an aux trans cooler
Best half ton trucks on earth. Also, the Michelin Defenders are excellent. I have a set on my 2010 TRD SR5. I replaced the Goodyears that didn't even last 30,000 miles and were horrible on rain & snow.
Yep, love those Michelin Defenders and the Tundra
You should have purchased the tow package. I have a 07 with the tow package which gives you the mirrors. Also with towing 60k miles for transmission fluid change and 5k for oil as your truck will tell you. I have 260k+ miles.
Platinum comes standard with tow package.
Paint pin time! E sure to use a base coat and clear and then compound and polish
Thanks for mentioning in your video the BeefedUp brake pads. I've been looking for some OE replacement pads after our last trip towing an airstream with our Tundra over Vale pass and Loveland pass using the interstate. We experienced just the beginning of brake fade on the downhill side of Loveland pass (along with the rutted right lane due to heavy semi-trailer traffic).
I'm also not all that happy with the Bridgestone tires that came on the Tundra. I'll need to look into the Michelin Defender tires you said you like.
The Beefed up brakes have been great for about 25k now, but they do squeak a little. Don't love that, but stopping power has been very good with Travel Trailer in tow.
What brand head unit for ur tundra
Alpine Halo9 ilx F309.

Best year. Updated dash but still has the trans cooler.
That's what I'm sayin! LOL
Exact reason I bought my 18. LEDs as well.
Every new car tires are made to only last 30 to 40 thousands miles,another reason I don't buy new automobile
Seeems. like planned obsolescence is becoming a thing
What psi do you run when towing
I bump just 1 or 2 over stock in both front and rear, so 31-32 front, 34-35 psi rear.
Great review!!
Thank you
Does anyone know why Toyota removed the tranny cooler from the 19 -21… and can I add one?
you can add one, lots have. I think it was cost cutting measure, and the amount of issues they'll have from a small handfull of people inside the 36month/36k warranty won over their rep for reliability.
Can you talk more about the sway bars you added? I just Baugh a used 2021
helps for feeling more stable when cornering, it will eliminate some of the body roll around curves.
Excellent review.
Thank tou
Great video. Not many out there about maintenance thanks!
Thanks, I wish there were more
@@kedrevs4037I guess it’s a good thing!
Those cooled leather seats that the Platinum comes with are an absolute game changer both in summer and winter
I do love the platinum seats
You are only half way there mileage wise.
I'm at 130k now, the goal is 350k. About 8 more years
Sr how much do you pay for your stereo
Exaxtly $1k for all parts, but it was prior to Covid
Those aren’t aftermarket mats
They definitely are. Platinum cones with carpet mats
@@kedrevs4037 wrong. I have those same exact mats in my 2020
@@thomasgriffin3474 is there something wrong with you? The man said he switched out the mats. Hence after-market.
@@romulusremus7537 I guess you don’t know what aftermarket means. They aren’t aftermarket if you buy them straight from the brand you purchased the truck from
