Very greatful to have a pre pandemic 2019 5.7 in my driveway.
You’re very lucky. Keep it forever! 👍💯
After dealing with the transmission of my 2017 Silverado, I long to return to Toyota.
Which Toyota Tundra would you get? …. The 5.7 or the new twin turbo v6 ?

My experience with the V8 5.7 has it proven to be rock solid.
Practical sense tells me the V6 is pushed to it's limits with the addition of the turbos; just how much abuse can a wee 6' take before some web cracks or a head gasket blows ...... time will tell.
More importantly, Chevy's response to the Allison transmission f*ck-up is beyond lecherous. I want nothing to do with Chevy, ever again.
I'm going back to a Toyota Crewmax next spring and hope the V6 holds together.
@@TheJimbob1603 Taking a risk with the new V6…. Interesting 🧐 Those are gonna be some high repair bills once it’s out of warranty 💰💰
@@TheJimbob1603 I agree with you in part. But reliability has nothing to do with how many cylinders it has or the displacement. I mean how many 6's have you heard of pushing gobs of horsepower? Porsche has been pushing "wee 6" cylinder turbo engines for decades, then there is the Nissan GTR with a V-6 TT, and then there is the legendary Toyota Supra that from the 90's whose I-6 turbo has been pushed in the after market to 1400 horsepower. Not to mention the Ford Raptor with its own V6 TT engine that has not has these particular like this with their engine. No, it's something else. I mean it could be a bad design or a QC issue, but not just because it's a V6 TT.
Thank God for guinea pigs buying new shiny garbage. Your sacrifices will not be forgotten.

@@MJ100k Yeah, definitely betas
@@Doomzdayxx 😆😭
Go with the 2021 Tundra!
All day and twice on Sunday 👍💯
Toyota used to be about cheap, reliable, and boring vehicles. At least they have the boring thing nailed down.
😳🫣
I got a 2023 SR Tundra, I don't know if I will get the recall on this issue, so its a wait and see, I owned 2 Toyotas, but my 2023 will be the last one, depending on how this progresses in the next few months, My next truck will be a 5.0L F150. Today's vehicles are too complex and no matter what badging is on the grill, they all suffer from over complication, I long and mean long for my 1989 Power Ram with a 360 TBI V8, that thing will outlast any Toyota ever made.
I try and select individual vehicles based on their current powertrain…. Not so much their past reputations. The 4.7 and 5.7 Tundras have examples of Million mile trucks. But so does the F150, F250 and Silverado. For your specific Tundra… Hopefully you won’t be affected by the recall. If you’re not affected or if you do get it fixed under warranty … I’m confident you could make it to 100-150k … but after that you may want to trade it in. Because if something does go wrong.. It will be VERY expensive to fix. That engine bay doesn’t have alot of room.. and Turbos cost ALOT of money 💰
@@MJ100k I totally agree, I made a video on my channel of the Tundra and F150 (F150 had the base 3.3L V6 NA) that was way more simplistic, and what I was looking for, the Tundra had a nicer interior and drove well and was the one I ended up with (I regret that decision now) my only beef is that I may not be included in the engine recall issue, but it does affect my resale value which is not good that the moment, This model is damaged good and the recall that Toyota is undertaking doesn't make it fragrant, I am having lots of interior problems on mine which the dealer has been slow at addressing!
@@corradettimotorsports360 Yeah I bet they’re slow… Lots of Tundra recall work that takes forever. I saw one Toyota dealer giving 10k signing bonus for master mechanics… Makes me consider coming out of mechanic retirement lol 😆
i work at toyota HQ in plano TX and i’m staying away from these turbo engines on trucks and suvs. got a 24 4R on order and keeping my wife’s V6 highlander for the long haul.
i’ve known about the conversion to smaller displacement engines for a while and have been planning for some time.
love turbo technology on small cars like the GR Corolla, but i don’t like on big vehicles.
Totally agree. I’d rather have a NA hybrid on small cars but yeah I’d definitely avoid turbos on trucks lol 👍
