- 17k Miles and this truck has been nothing but problems! Toyota WILL not warranty common issues because of the lift kit but I was having these rumble issues from 68-75 mph during acceleration before my lift was installed. The dealer I called about the issue "Damian Lillard Toyota" in McMinnville oregon told me its a new truck and that is common, it will work itself out. Being that they did not notate that I was having that issue I am now stuck having to pay for these repairs myself. I really love everything about the truck, but it has not been reliable. I'd love to be able to come to an agreement with toyota that will allow me to get a well built car/suv/truck from japan in place of this problematic Tundra. Now Precision Toyota of tucson AZ will not warranty the parts even though its a known common problem for these trucks. Passing the buck to the lift kit. @toyotausa
Lesson 1, DO NOT MODIFY VEHICLES UNTIL AFTER ITS OUT OF WARRANTY! It gives the dealer a way out!
The dealer would’ve blame that tow hitch is aftermarket and voids the warranty if he didn’t lift it..
No. NEVER BUY A FIRST YEAR MODEL ESPECIALLY A FIRST YEAR MODEL WITH A NEVER BEFORE ENGINE..
I also have an issue with my 2024 SR5 (stock) vibrating 65-70mph. 10500 miles. Truck is also plagued with rattles.
Is your truck also lifted, and if yes what type of lift?
What the hell toyota!! You went from a great reputation to in the gutter in one generation!
I am so glad that I bought a 2021 Tundra. Old school is proving to the the best school.
Good move.
@@warg333 smart move
I have a 2023 Taco PRO, bought before new 4 banger turbos and absolutley love it.
Hate mine

Appreciate your video. My family is a Toyota family as well. I have a Corolla, Camry and 4Runner. I’m in the market for a truck but from what I’m seeing, I’m gonna sit out till these problems are solved. Hope Toyota is watching these videos.
Next thing to go is the turbo and engine.
Toyota is killing their reputation.
They've been riding on their old reputation for longer than most people realize. Ateast 5 or 6 years. Not that everything they've turned out has been crap, but alot more lemons than we ever saw in the past
I recently bought a 2021 tacoma. I'm glad I did because I knew this would happen with the current trucks.
So many gimmicks these new trucks have. The more money you spend, just more gimmicks, not a better truck. I shudder everytime I see manufacturers going with digital dashes, etc.
Exactly. Here’s your new 70k plastic iPad on wheels. All the fancy features you wanted and none of the reliability. Good luck!
@@lancelemay6971 Plastic that rattles like your on public transit. My wife's subaru crosstrek is bare bones and was more quiet than my Lincoln Corsair and Rav4 Hybrid lol.
Sorry to see you have these issues, I have a base SR Tundra (23) that hasn't been problem free either, lots of interior rattles plague mine and now I hear the motor might have to come apart to fix a manufacturing defect with contamination, the Executive Team that overseen this platform should really be ashamed of the product they built, along with upper management. Can't wait to see how this works out for you, but in all honestly you have a great looking truck. My next go-to truck will be a F150 5.0 though
I love driving my 2022 Tundra Limited_ my heart goes out to anyone having these issues.
It’s such a great truck to drive and I would looooove if this was my forever truck and these issues weren’t happening!
Yo get recall notice yet?
I have a 22 1794 TRD no modifications yet. No issues
I recently bought a 2024 Tundra. The dealer explicitly stated to me that the crankshaft bearing problem was fixed for 2024. He was under informed or lying. The 2024s are blowing up, just like the 2023/2022s!!
I suspect that Toyota isn't extending the 2022/2023 engine recall to the 2024s until they have sold the 2024s off their lots.
I suspect that the bearing problem is not completely explained by debris left in during forging in Alabama and Japan.
Concern: The new engines might disintegrate, too, if they were built before April 2024 when Toyota changed the front crankshaft bearing.
I suspect that bearing change was "the fix." If so, there are lots of 2024 Tundras that will blow their engine.
Instead of focusing on engineering, Toyota is focusing on complicated, expensive trim items. Remember "new Coke", which was supposed to be better than old Coke?
Below, please find a great analysis of the bearing problem by the Car Care Nut!
ruclips.net/video/EyI4ujjxxuk/видео.htmlsi=kjGux5M
if so, early model 2024s will also blow yes
Bought an early 24 and I’m sick. Hopefully mine will dodge the bulleet
Same. You go Toyota to avoid these problems and yet here we are.
Yeah i feel awful for anyone going through this too! Don’t modify anything or they will blame all these defects on the mods
I was weeks away from buying a 24 Tundra Pro and when these quality issues developed, I ended up buying a 24 HD2500 ZR2 with a 6.6 V8. Love my new truck. I hope Toyota buys back your Tundra. Good luck. MSRP was 88k and got it for 77k plus fees.
They'll buy it back for thousands less than what you paid, adding insult to injury 🤦
Sorry to hear that . I have a 23 Limited- 26K - no issues yet. I do think they need to relook at better quality control on what they put on the truck . They need better door panels etc . Just need to up the parts they put on the truck. Good luck with your truck . Hope you get what you are looking for.
So sad what’s happened to Toyota quality. They went from a top tier manufacturer to a total joke. We have 4 Toyota’s in our driveway but will probably never buy another one…
Informative video. Did you platinum come with the black badge on the side or did you change it to black. Mine came with a gun metal color. Thanks.
I’m keeping my 2020 Limited Tundra with the 5.7 V8. No issues
So glad I didn't trade in my 2020. Had a feeling there would be issues so decided I would see how these shook out before trading in. I will just keep my no issue Tundra.
Yeah lift kits. Gives them big way out
I have 4 Toyota 2023 tundra platinum and I won’t buy any more Toyotas. Their quality is gone in the gutter.
Damn, we have the same exact Platinum we bought new in 2022.
We were just debating if we should trade out of the truck before the value drops.
I think a huge recall is about to happen for the engines now!! That will be the 5th issue on mine.
@@Type1Production and out of all chances, we ordered the new Lexus GX 550 and its been delayed at the Florida port for two weeks now! We’re sitting here wondering why, and dealership doesn’t know anything!
This would be crazy getting stuck with our tundra and GX with both recalls.
@@Type1Productionthe recall has already been announced for 98K Tundras.
@@pnwdweler4100 I’m going to call tomorrow and see if I’m on that list
Sorry to hear about your truck issues and the way Toyota is treating you. Those 3rd Generation Tundras are over priced and have been nothing but problems for a lot of people. I heard Toyota just did a recall of about 100,000 3rd Generation Tundras due to concerns that machining debris may be causing internal engine damage. So glad I got a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro before the ruined the Tundra.
Anytime you lift a brandnew truck from Toyota under warrenty they will give you problems about your warrenty when you have an issue
Guess I’ll keep my V8 2021 😂😂
Me too
Keep it forever.
Yes, you definitely should.
Have a 2017 5.7L.. Paid 33k brand new; 7 years later it's still worth more than I paid for it.. THANKS TOYOTA. YOU DONE FUCKED UP.
2020 Pro here. Soo glad I'm "stuck" with a 2nd gen.. 😜 plus that bulletproof 5.7
Sorry to hear about problems. I have a 24 SR5 with the off-road package, now approaching 14,000 miles. I’ve often wondered what day of the week it was built, because I would be hard-pressed to pick out a single complaint.
Did you ask them to cover your truck getting keyed under warranty too?
I paid 56k for a brand new 2017 Tundra crew max sr-5 with a 6" lift, and with custom leather interior. Now 7 years latter and 63K miles on it. The sun has been hard on the paint and its in the sun everyday in Arizona. I have 15k budget to put a new interior, paint job and bits like new trim pieces. Essentially my goal for it to look and run brand new. I have zero issue with my truck. I do mean zero, except from natural ageing and road use. I have look at Toyotas new trucks. Not interested at all!. I believe a good detail job will save me 25k from not buying a new Tundra and get me another 7 years of happiness.
I had a 2023 limited. Just sold it. I won’t go into the list of issues. It takes too long to type. I’ll just say my truck was in the shop 10 times in 12 months. So away it went last month.
Just an fyi I had mine leveled. Every chance the dealer had they blamed the leveling.
It’s a damn shame!! Loved Toyota, loved tundras, and now, who do we go to for reliability and build quality???
What is the rim sizes off set? looks sharp.
Sad how bad they screwed these trucks up I love my 2020 tacoma and was looking to upgrade to the 24 I refuse to buy it now too many of these stories out there
You would get the same push back with all other manufactures. I mean think of it, a lift kit and especially not good ones, can severally alter the vehicle and why should the manufacture be on the hook for that?
Also, you saw the truck build BEFORE YOU BOUGHT IT, SO DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT QUALITY!
Thank you for the honest review 💪🏽😎
Wait until you get your recall notice on the motor. Bummer to hear all this. My 5th gen 4runner is phenomenal in all ways. Lifted and an overlander, I've never had my dealership decline anything. Even replaced my steering rack under warranty and never questioned my lift and all.
As type 1, how did you feel after receiving cell therapy? Did you reduce your insulin use? Can you please make another video about this
Why wouldn’t they warranty a torque converter on a 2023? Do you have more than 60,000 miles, which is the power train warranty.
Toyota warranty coverage never goes smoothly.
Please explain to me the train of thought You know them well You're not supposed to buy a new car as soon as of the production line You have to give it a couple years for them to work out the kinks I've been talking about this for the past couple years I got Lexus GX 2016 I did not buy it in 2014 or 13 when it came out I waited a couple years I always do that with all my cars. Yes always get a brand new car and keep it as long as you can however never get a brand new car from redesign cycle everybody knows that come on
Well people need a car and figure a new redesign by Toyota will still be OK. But the truth is even Toyota redesigns have issues. Ideally want to wait until the 4th year of a new model or later. But it looks like Tundra might not be reliable this entire generation or past 4 years in.
Sucks that they are shafting you on the lift, and it’s disappointing to see that so much blame is being pointed to that mod. Did you buy the truck used and what made you decide to add an aftermarket lift? Where you advised that it could void warranty when you did so?
Hope you can get things resolved. It’s a great truck and sucks to see Toyota not helping like they should.
Just your rear main bearing going out. They should have it fixed a a year or two. Lift kits are a easy way to void warranty.
Wait until your engine blows. Mine made it to 28,000 miles before she seized up. Toyota claims it debris in the block casting, this is all BS. They’re also recalling the Lexus SUVs with the same engine with blocks made in Japan. There’s a major design flaw with this engine. Stay far far away from the new Toyotas.
True - the 2024 front main bearing is a different part #.
I keep seeing videos like this lately, from various RUclipsrs talking about problems with the new Tundra. I was going to get one, too, but didn't like several aspects of their redesign, as well as the high prices and dealership markups. I decided to get a new Nissan Titan at a discount and it's been good. Seeing videos like this help confirm to me that I made a good choice. For what it's worth, we have a Toyota Highlander, and it has some issue with the microphone not working now, which makes the radio stop working when it happens, and reportedly it's because we haven't subscribed to the SOS service. Like, seriously Toyota?
I was in the market for a new Toyota but after looking and driving some the quality control is gone ! I'm looking at something else maybe Nissan ? or wait another year !
I have a 2023 tundra I have a alignment problems
Whenever it’s 60° I try to roll up my window. It rolls right back
I hear noise every time I put the car in reverse
Makes a weird noise
When I had 300 miles on the truck
The truck stalled when I had 2000 miles the truck stalled one driving truck was in the shop for two weeks couldn’t fix it
Lotta problems I am trying to get mine bought out by the Lemon law
It’s bull crap
Which is better in long term reliability? This or the f250?
Think the Tundra is still assembled in Texas
Yeah I think you’re correct.
#1 engine main bearing next to fail. We loved our Toyotas but warranty coverage is always a hassle. Always a coin toss if they’ll cover it.
Perfect color combo.
I think the 2nd gens are very reliable not sure about 3rd gens but of late lots of issues.
I really wanted to get one guess I'll wait until all the issues are fixed
Why would they not cover the Torque converter? I mean you are within both the bumper to bumper and powertrain. Did they push your liftvkit cause it?
I heard the only place Tundras are made now is in Texico. I wonder if any are going to Japan, you would think they have to be. We've lived with the quality issues of our own manufacturers for many decades now so we're used to it but imagine what they're saying about us when they get these garbage trucks over there!!!
Have you got it fixed yet.?
Who keyed or scratched the entire driver side?
What about this new engine recall for Tundra and the LX, did you get any information about that ?
Not yet! I found out about that the day I made this video! I’ll definitely be looking into that
Thank u for sharing!
Love the honest truth!
I have a 2024 SR5 TRD, dame rumble/vibration at highway speeds. Did the torque converter fix the issue? They have already put a rear diff in mine, it has 2k miles. I have zero rattles, it's fun to drive, but that FN rumble that they won't fix now is crapola.
No it didn’t fix it
@Type1Production bummer, I was sure it was a torque converter or flex plate issue. There has to be something in the front drive. I feel in the floor board and gas pedal as well as hear it. Mine has zero modifications. Guess I'm going to call Toyota back.
My brand new 86000 Silverado makes awful suspension noise in the rear and the dealer blames me because I had it under coated with fluid film which essentially is a lubricant.
Man, i wanted to switch up my gladiator for one of these. Nevermind.
The rattles on the lift too?
Bro thats a damn good looking truck! Total bs they are blaming the lift kit, there are hundreds of thousands of lifted trucks that dont blow up transmissions and differentials. Are they blaming lifts for the 100,000 engines on recall too?😂. I wish you good luck in getting all that sorted out its a bummer
Check out the magnueson moss act, I had to threaten them with it, then they allowed it under warranty.
2013 tundra double cab, work truck package. 4.6 4x…… love it 👍🏾
Hey, at least it looks awesome 😎
Have you put an engine in it yet?
I have a 2023 Tundra TRD PRO with no problems!
*shimming the interior trim?* 😢 😭
We need a class action lawsuit to repair the losses of all tundra buyers. We lost trade in value for this.
Thanks, I'm a big fan of Tundra. I will stick with my 2015. Not gonna pay 60grand for a lemon.
They offer liftkits from factory now, so that's not an excuse.
Sorry to hear that about your truck, thats alot of money to pay for those kind of problems
I got a 2020 1794 v8 5.7 and i will never trade it for any new pickup truck from this area. V6 twin are just garbage and i have no clue why they ditch the v8. I love my tundra and 2020 was the best year
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a federal law in the United States that governs warranties on consumer products, requiring manufacturers and sellers to provide detailed information about warranty coverage to consumers, ensuring they can easily compare warranty terms before purchasing a product; it is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. * No way a lift with larger tires will cause rear diff to go bad and have metal chips in gear oil, let alone cause the transmission to go bad. Dealer/Toyota has to prove 100% that the lift/tires caused this issue.
Another example not to get aftermarket lifts when under warranty. Blame the design if you want but not the Texas assembly plant.
Sorry for your loss , player this is just the beginning, it’s going to be a bumpy ride with the dealership!!! Hold on !!
Owner of a 4Runner built in Japan rock solid.
Beautiful truck
This is the exact reason when all the fanboys were talking about how great the new tundra was in October of 2021 I purchased a V-8 Trd pro lunar rock not one issue same exact thing with my 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser if you want a truck that will last you the rest of your life go find a 2020 or a 21 tundra your situation sucks, bro I would get rid of that truck as soon as possible best of luck to you, man
I get problems with one model but Toyota is having serious problems with a lot of their models now. My new 2020 Camry turned a Toyota fan in to a Toyota hater. I dumped it before its second oil change because it was the most annoying car I ever owned and I didn't trust it to last.
I put my money towards a vehicle that has proven to be reliable, looks fantastic and most of all, is made by a company that offers CHOICES to their customers. 2.7 litre TTV6, 3.5 Litre, Hybrid powertrain, TTV6 or naturally aspirated 5.0 litre V8 (one of the sweetest recent V8s). My personal truck is an F150 hybrid Powerboost and I lease/own all the other powertrains for my work vehicles. Don't sell your identity to a "brand"....... shop smart.
is your lift a TRD Lift from the factory? Many lift kits are not built to par and do stress some of the factory parts. I had 4 tundra... 2013, 2015, 2019 and now a 2025. Never any issues with any of them. My brother has a 2022 and put on the factory 3'" lift from Toyota to avoid these issues. I can tell you kits like rough country and some other after market companies are absolute garbage! You need to research the shit out of kits. I know Wescott designs specialize in Toyota or you can always go with Toyota's kit. My brothers truck had to be recalibrated to make sure the sensors and other electronics were accurate. I know other lift kits are not doing that! Its a chance you take when you go aftermarket.
The 23's and 24's have been a nightmare for most owners. Engine, diff, bearings and the list goes on. It's getting so bad most people are starting to hit up the lemon law because these things have been in the shop so often. There is something seriously wrong with the way the parts themselves have been designed for this model.
Unbelievable Toyota!! Come on get it together would you!!!
The shims solution had me at a loss for words.
And to top it off they're like $10,000 more. So disappointing. I have a 2021 V8 Tundra, no wonder the dealership is trying to buy my truck and get me into these crappy new models, hell nah!!
Less Truck for more money.
Hey Man glad to catch your video. But I hate to say it but your video is about the same as every 2022 to 2024 Tundra videos that are popping up lol. You are for sure alot calmer than I would be if in same situation lol. Ya everything you said seams like the norm for these. That whole bull shit of not giving you a truck when they have yours is bull shit. Your paying for one and not able to drive it. And As you was talking about what was wrong and the warranty. I knew before you said it they would tru to blame the lift kit. That is the only thing they have to make up for there incompetence. They sound like these Democrats that are in the government lol. Ya after they just put out this big recall of engine failure. I will stick with the bulletproof 2021 and under Tundra's. I still love my 2014 limited that has 195,000 miles, and "knock on wood" the the biggest thing I had to replace was front rotors and tie rod end. Oh and I think I need to replace the shocks next. I have 35's on it and getting maybe about 14 to 15 mpg, thats biggest negative. Hey Bud hope you have luck, but I would say get rid of that truck. Or find out about that big recall it affects 2022 and 2023 Tundra's
Yeah the door rattles are super common. Along with weird noises in the drive train. The new Tundra just seems like a pile of crap.
As a non RUclipsr I made a video discussing my experience with the 2022.. .. I love the way it drove. But it was an over priced hunk of junk. 2 weeks ago I traded it in for a 24 4runner. I took a hit.. but I'm happy.
Yeah I would love if Toyota would either buy this back or trade me for a Trd pro 4Runner. I’d make that exchange as well!
Yep, stick with the old reliable assembled in Japan. Hopefully Toyota can get their crap together.
Exactly!👍
Bought a 2024 a month ago and I’m trading it back for a trd pro 4runner. Taking a big hit, but not impressed with the tundra quality for sure. Hopefully they get things figured out.
I was looking to buy a tundra, but not after watching this
So you're upset because Toyota wont "warranty common issues because of the lift kit?" I mean why would you expect them to? WE ALL know not to lift our trucks until the factory warranty expires. Perhaps the shop you got your tuck lifted did a poor job in doing so. Take it back to them to fix and stop bitching fishing for sympathy on youtube
Well now you know what it is like being a FORD truck owner. Welcome to the club By now Toyota management has learned that buyers will pay any premium for their brand. Has the lower in the engine started to create mysterious noises? Let me guess.... you also paid WAY over sticker price too.
"Toyota Enthusiast thru and thru" nd you have those models? LOL
Yea, I was waiting to hear you say the dealer blames the tires, the lift or both.
If anybody is looking at a Tundra a late model second Gen is the best bet.
Seems Toyota really shot themselves in the foot with these and Toyota service has been horribly unreliable for years.
Step #1. Do not lift your new vehicle 4 inches higher.
Yeah it sucks these trucks are having issues, but still. Gotta be smart.
Get the 5.7 V8 if you want to last a lifetime
Sell it before diminished value hits.
It’s got fake exhaust sounds. What do you expect
The new Taco is made in Mexico. I am not buying anything built in Mexico.
The 2nd gen and 3rd gen Tacoma was made in Mexico, too. Well, a few 2nd and 3rd gen's were made in the United States. The overall quality wasn't great, but bothe the 1gr-fe and 2gr-fks were very reliable v6 engines. Both engines were made in Huntsville, Alabam, the new 4-cylinder in the Tacoma and the V6 and the tundra are both made in Alabama.
I believe Toyota did a pretty good job with the T24A-FTS 4 cylinder that's in the new Tacoma, it's old school in many ways. The problem with the new Tacoma is the cheap down on the interior and are asking far too much for the truck.
The V35A-FTS in the Tundra is an unmitigated mess. Toyota went with unproven high-tech everywhere ant it's a total failure.
