    I had a 2010 with 55k a few years ago. It had the secondary air pump failure at 54k, and toyota fixed it under warranty. It got totaled a month later. I held out for the new Tundras...bought a used 4runner with the 4.7 with 190k on it. I needed it for towing my camper and boat. When the new Tundras finally came out, I was seriously disappointed in both the price and the MPG of the new Tundras. Started looking at the baby Duramax. I wanted MPG for towing that camper when I retired. Well, I retired this year and no way I wanted the huge cost of a new truck. So I found a like new 2016 Tundra with 55k miles on it. $30k. I can spend all that savings on the gas it needs. I love it. Keeping the 4runner too, it is pretty flawless.

    A rule of thumb is you usually want to avoid the 07 and 08 year trucks. They are still reliable as hell but compared to the other years had more issues.
    And as far as the 4.7 vs 5.7 reliability, they use the same engine block just slightly different bore and stork specs. In fact I believe two 4.7s have made it to a million miles now and just recently a 5.7 did as well.

      The early second Gen Tundra had issues with secondary air pump failure that was common, and Toyota decided to have a side extended warranty for the air pump.
      Toyota fixed the issue down the line, and the complaint went down.
      There were a few, and I mean, a few oil pump failures, and the check engine light would also fail to notify the owner, but it was a few very few that had such issues.
      The 2007-2009 had a body frame rust lawsuit, and those involved in the lawsuit had their body frame replaced free.
      That was a long, long, long time ago.
      When the Toyota went into flex fuel systems, the computer failed to tell the difference between what type of fuel was being used and the check engine light would come on.
      Toyota eventually also got that fix too.
      Year 2020 and up Toyota decided to remove the transmission coolent from the tundra that spark controversy about it.
      Many people would buy a transmission coolent and install it themselves.
      2014-2015 had suspension and alignment issues caused by the manufacturer poor quality control after the Tundra refresh.
      So far, that's all that I know of.

    I got a 2012 Crewmax about 2 years ago with 150k on it. It's about to crest the 200k mark soon, and it has been bulletproof. Of course a Carfax with regular oil changes helped, but the interior, exterior, and drive line feel damn near brand new. Plus I've towed my Miata in a 20ft enclosed trailer multiple times without issue. You really can't go wrong with this truck. Unless you find one that's gone 20k miles in between oil changes of course

    My daily driver is a truck that my dad bought at a flea market. I can’t remember for sure if he paid $3,000 or $4,000 for it, but it’s a 2000 Tundra Limited 4wd. He said he pulled the cash out of his pocket and paid the individual. A few minutes later he turned the key in the ignition and realized the truck had almost 400k miles on it. Well, that was around 2009-10 timeframe. My dad passed in 2020 and I kept the Tundra. Today this truck has over 584,000 miles on it. He did have to get another engine out in a few years after he bought it, but aside from that, new brakes, drums and rotors, an alternator, water pump and timing belt, this truck has been a great vehicle for me to drive back and forward to work. I would love to upgrade to at least a 2nd Gen Tundra a t some point but, this one will continue to do for now.

    Well at least I got you to make a video on the 2nd gen Tundra LOL! I commented on the My Colorado got bricked video. I was a little harsh to say the least.
    That was out of pure frustration due to all the different truck brands I have owned over the years and how disappointed I have been with all the issues I have had.
    Thanks for the great video Andre, you guys always do a great job hitting on the high and low points of the trucks you review. I really like all the big three
    trucks and have owned them over my 40 years of driving my favorite was GMC but that all changed years ago when they traded reliability for bells and whistle's.
    So when I retired last year I found a 2021 Tundra 1794 trd off road. Its looks and dives like an old Lexus 460. Its sad I had to resort to a 15 year old platform to get
    some reliability. You can't go wrong with a well maintained 2nd gen Tundra. Yes the mpg's are not the best but at least you won't be getting jammed at a dealership
    with reliability issue and being told thats just the way it is live with it. Let me count the ways. 1) 10 speed transmission shudder 2) Cam phaser rattle 3) Lifter failure due to AFM
    4) cam shaft, lifter wear hemi tick. I know the Tundra will get me home and rides good on the hwy thats all we need for now. Tundra's will be extremely sought after in the next
    few years when all these issues start popping up on these over engineered trucks ie turbos, extra cooling lines over stressed smaller displacement engine's. Thanks
    for the great video.

    Earlier this year I found an absolute gem, a 2008 Tundra with the 5.7L engine, same color as yours but the double cab instead of CrewMax. Only 74k on the clock with a clean title, single owner and dealership maintenance records dating back to when it was brand new!
    It's so smooth that when I first started daily driving it, I'd actually have to look down at the tachometer to make sure it was still running when idling at a red light.
    This truck may very well have more miles left in it than the brand-new forced induction rolling time bomb motors driving off the lot today...

IT really seems like the best bang for the buck. Even the first gen. Tows a little less. Little smaller but does the job for even cheaper. I've been looking g at 1st and 2nd gen tundras.

    i bought my 2013 tundra just over a year ago and after working on cars and trucks over the last 20 years, the tundra NEVER feels as worn out and old as A LOT of the same year vehicles made by other manufactures. not even nissan's titan can still feel as good with age or miles taken into account. its extremely rare to see any of the competitors with miles over 200k on stock engine and transmission... gm has lifter issues or transmission issues. ford has their own strange problems with cam phasers, and i really dont know much about the ram trucks other than electrical issues. tundra will not let you down if you keep up with MAINTENANCE. you'll find them with over 300k miles, its not that rare. biggest thing people complain about is sometimes lack of creature comforts, but in my honest opinion, its the high end features and being too complicated that take away from what a truck really is... a good running tundra is all you need.

Went to Denver from Pa to buy a nice clean one and drove it back without a hitch 1250 miles. did the FULL maintenance on it when I got back to Pa.. Had it New Hampshire oil undercoated to keep the nasty Pa. salt at bay and had it Pa inspected for which it need nothing. Runs like a Swiss watch. Took it to Dover NH and to the Outer banks this summer and it performed like a champ. Even got 16.1 mpg on the trip. I was GM my whole life but never again. MY 2013 Silverado was nothing but problems. Cam tower is only a problem when it starts to leak a lot, as for Secondary Air Can, Hewitt makes a kit for about 400 that takes care of the problem. The second gen is the best. No way 21 on the highway or anywhere else.
