The 2024 Toyota Tundra is still not holding up to expectations. Toyota doesn't seem to be fixing the issues with this truck that have plagued it since 2022, mainly with blown engines by way of spun bearings.

These issues affect the 2022 Tundra SR5, Limited, Platinum, Capstone and Tundra Hybrids. They affect all 2022, 2023, 2024 Tundras.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just trying to get Toyota to take responsibility and get back to what they used to be.

    Calling all Toyota Technicians. whether your agree or disagree with me, I'd love to chat with you (anonymously if requested). If you are interested in providing your perspective/images/videos or data on how many failures (or lack of failures) you see year over year at your dealership, I'm all ears. I am not trying to bash Toyota nor paint them as infallible. Email me at cars AT thecarguyonline.com/ to discuss further.

    Your government won’t let manufacturers make a simple and reliable engine / vehicle. It will only get worse. Act accordingly.
  • Toyota fan boi here. As soon as I saw Toyotas vehicles becoming more advanced and complicated I knew their reliability was in question.

    I remember Scotty Kilmer lamenting that Toyota was getting away from the 5.7 V8 and going to smaller turbo engines. He said they would never hold up or last, seems the man was right.
  • @carvesnow
    "First Year" is no longer an excuse. It's now called neglect.

    "If you hate money, buy one of these new trucks". Truer words have never been spoken.
  • @vintage35171
    Glad I bought my 2019 Pro when I did. Everyone was complaining that the 5.7 was outdated...well, now you have it.

    Scotty Kilmer said "The new Toyota's are crap, don't buy them!
  • Everything people hated about the Gen 2 & Gen 3 Tundra’s I loved. Delightfully unsophisticated but going hundreds of thousands of trouble free miles. V8, no giant computer screens to operate simple functions. Brilliant Toyota, brilliant.

    “If you don’t have the title, in the safe, in your house, you don’t own the truck” - truer words have never been spoken. Lol
  • In a society afflicted by an epidemic of dishonesty you my friend are a breath of fresh air. Thank you, keep doing it and don’t change.
  • It’s not Toyota that’s doing this, it’s Toyota America. The Toyota CEO in Japan stated that he was tired of electric and hybrid vehicle problems and was no longer interested in making them.
  • @cournell08
    If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!! Bring back the 5.7!!!

    Something happened since Covid. Everything everywhere went to crap. Even replacement auto parts are a joke these days. It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.

    This is why I love my 2020 4Runner. The classic 4.0 engine and transmission combo built like a tank.

    My reply from Toyota over wind noise and air leaks. Hi Jay. We were able to get in touch with the Service Manager. After the additional diagnosis, they were able to confirm that the wind noise was consistent across all the Tundras that were tested, therefore, it's been considered to be a characteristic of the vehicle.
  • @SPDFRK007
    Im a Toyota Master technician and we do multiple engines a week on the new Tundras (2022+). The rest come in with 10+ complaints each time they come in for one of their many many recalls.
  • @Tr0utp0nD
    Imagine if the first 22 tundra owners with blown engines got the TFL treatment. Instead of quibbling over warranties, fighting claims, and parts cannoning short blocks, they just sent a whole crate motor to the dealer, swapped the entire engine and shipped the bad engines back to engineering where in a controlled environment could have torn down the whole engine and found the root problem.

    Once I determined you weren’t a shill, I subbed.
