2014 Tundra: Tundra Design: Engineers Know-How #1 | Toyota

[@mohamedly5557]

The best full size pickup ever built, salute to the engineers and all the workers who involved in making this masterpiece. It's my dream to own a Tundra

[@Rayelth]

Love my 07 Tundra, 190,000 miles and still going strong, no problems yet.

[@Scuba_Bro]

Mike Sweers is an awesome dude! I'd love to hang out with him at toyota plant all day and just have him explain everything to me.

[@strigoi5890]

Just picked up a 2021. Cause I wanted old school simplicity, durability and reliability

[@bulldreyfuss]

I just bought a 2016 Tundra Crewmax with the TRD Off Road package. I made a list of what I wanted in a new truck - first was reliability; second was the ability to put 3 child seats in the back; third was decent off road capability since I travel to a cabin at the end of a pretty rough piece of road several times a year; fourth was a V8. The Tundra was the best option for me with those priorities in mind. For folks that want better fuel economy or more options to choose from, the domestic manufacturers are probably a better choice. I've owned Chevy's and Fords in the past and all have been good trucks; my dad has a 16 year old Silverado and a new Ram EcoDiesel - both great trucks. That being said, the folks I've known with Tundras tend to not spend much time in the shop and run them forever. The Toyota should have the lowest TCO if you keep the truck for a while, although I don't think you can go wrong with any of the full size trucks from Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, or Nissan. It all just comes down to what your priorities are, what options are available, and personal preference.

[@ia7182]

Better off with Oriental engineers than Mexican or American Engineers. ford and chevy/gm make engines,frames and components in Mexico and assemble them in the USA. Oriental children who become engineers have stricter values and principles. "They're hungry" with a strong passion to succeed. Thats why they're projected to be number 1 in the world.

[@TheOmnisProject]

Few days away from buying my 1st tundra. 2014 limited, can’t wait. It’s a dream of mine for years...

[@jayj6001]

january 10, 2014 Gm recalls 303,000 chevy silverado and gmc sierra engine fire risk. dont belive me look it up! The only brand my family and i ever owned and trust is TOYOTA!!

[@canamdennis6829]

I own a Toyota tundra 4x4 it by far is the best driving truck that I have ever driven and is one tuff truck lots of power more then you wouid ever need buy TOYOTA everyone

[@playhard.gopr.4755]

If you guys see mike again please tell him we love his work. After i installed propane system...this truck became truly immortal.

[@SIG442]

Dont have a driverslicence myself, but this is definately my number 1 truck to have.

[@WQQKIE]

Best truck I have ever owned. Sitting at 100k miles and I have taken that truck to places no human has ever been, it has never let me down!

[@ayonduchiebuka3768]

I love Toyota

[@Painfulwhale360]

I just wish so bad that they offered a 6.5 foot bed on the crewmax... Even if they made it special order only it would make so many people happy! Love everything about the truck though.

[@lexusfan100]

this was nice..i wish all other truck/car manufactures do like this where we get to meet with the people (engineers/designers/paint shop/R&D etc.)who worked on the cars/trucks instead of the sales/executive people. Right there... One On One

You should have a key pad on the outside of the door, it's nice knowing that when I lock my keys in side or go somewhere and dont want my keys that i dont need to have them to get in the truck

[@ScaleNation1]

i get my new 2014 tundra in 3 days

[@LightofBankai]

I was expecting a Japanese engineer to explain the engineering of the truck. Guess this truck is really built by Americans.

[@OxmoorToyotaLKY]

That Toyota quality!

[@normestits3317]

my life partner and I love antique shopping in owner Tundra.

[@TheBarahona1]

That's why I bought Toyota Quality quality

[@Thamac15]

I concur. I bought Toyota because I trust their vehicles.

[@risrmachines]

I bought a 2021 sr5 crew max trd off road last year in cavalry blue and love it. 22’s look awesome too!

[@toyotausa]

That's awesome, Ricardo! 😃 What have you been loving most about it?!

[@risrmachines]

@@toyotausa I love the sound of that engine at all times, starting it up cold in the morning, accelerating, or idling, it just sounds like nothing else out there. I went from a 13 Chevy 1500 to this tundra and you can tell the difference in Toyotas QDR. Also I enjoy the tight turning radius.

[@richardoaks3597]

Toyota you need to do another one of these again with the current 2024 tundra

[@htbud11]

I have an 07' Tundra I bought new. I have had several Tacoma's. The absolute very best thing about this truck is the 5.7 engine. It is fantastic! I also have an f-350 dually. The dually actually rides better in my opinion, but the tundra is much more fun to drive. I intend to buy another. I would like to see a bigger fuel tank. I want a supercharger on my next one because I just do. I wish it could be ordered from the factory.But it may be a while. I have a history of keeping them until they drop, and Toyotas don't drop easy..

[@asingh4056]

Thanks Mr. Engineer, for removing the starter from under the INTAKE MANIFOLD from 4.7 to UNDER THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD in 5.7

[@thomasgriffin3474]

Clear paint protection should be mandatory on every Toyota because paint still chips super easy on my 2020 tundra

[@Maverick7538]

@ Barrett, the corrosion issues were dealt with and are a thing of the past. The issue began with DANA corp who was required to pay Toyota 25 million for their faulty frames. DANA Corp also was responsible for the Ford F-150 corrosion issue. If you want to see rust problems just Google rust and place the name of any truck. There is an entire forum talking about a 2014 F-150 with a frame already coated in rust. What was shown in this video were wear marks. Also, look at NHTSA's investigation into roughly 3 million GM vehicles for rusty brake lines.

[@gmrtg1414]

Your right about the rust thing. I dont think it matters which car or truck you buy if you drive it in winter states that use salt you're screwed LOL. Wash and wash often is about the only thing to help this problem.

[@mikemalabush8757]

[@DadCMusic]

Thanks for the truck Mike!

[@phattacorider]

I wanna see a video just like this with Ford, Gm, Dodge, and Nissan on their trucks.

[@juliovalenzuela4216]

I have a 2014 double cab Limited. I call B.S on getting a Crew Max with 6.5”bed. It’s the only thing keeping me from getting a new one. After riding in a family member’s GMC Sierra with the equivalent to a Crew cab with a 6.5 bed I don’t believe I could buy another double cab. No reason why Toyota can’t make a Crew Cab with a 6.5’ bed.

[@chadj.w.anderson5473]

Had a 2017 Tundra, then got a 2019 RAM. Traded the RAM in for a 2019 Tundra.

[@toyotausa]

Hi James, we're so happy to have you in our Toyota Family! Wishing you loads of fun road trips! 🛣️

[@BrianBourgeois-]

Why did you trade the ram?

[@Olph1]

Toyota does not build crappy transmissions. This segment is full of great trucks each having its +'s and -'s but for the build quality and price of admission I'd have to take the tundra. For looks and 2wd fun I'd take the Ram r/t!

[@ps3dethman1]

there not bad but there not the best.. my dads double cab 4.6 is on its 3rd tranny at 100,000. only other thing i have to say os there plastics squeak on the interior.

[@joshuagathright9313]

ps3dethman1 I have a 2006 Tundra with the old 4.7 V8. I have the old Quad Cab with 6.5 foot bed. 150,000 miles in, I'm on the original engine and tranny.

[@technews64]

Joshua Gathright me too i have the sequoia 2003 with the same kilometers. im from canada. just the speakers blown but who cares it runs for life.

[@Mr.C-Mister]

if they truly listened to the customer they should know that whatever the tacoma has the tundra owners want. I off road with my truck alot and have options for longer bed too fit more gear and outlet in the back to run equipment shouldn't be hard. i have a power inverter and it works great and no issues with over heating running a hitachi power drill for 30 minutes drilling into wood and concrete to put in set screws. I just dont get it with everything it gots they need to make it happen.

[@deadontarget8503]

Two completely different trucks now. First gen Tundras was in between a mid size truck and full size and could fit the bill for both... but neither very well. But customers wanted a good full size Toyota not a jack of all trades. Personally I agree with you. I love my first gen jack of all trades. But to keep that the Tundra would not got credit as full size truck... So it boils down to market and what sales. Good news is first gens are still to be had for a bargain!

[@tirwin3]

About the chrome, the answer is go with 1794 or Platinum, both of which are only available as a crew max with the tiny little bed. Why not make those trim levels available as a double cab?

[@Adrian-ew1tv]

Toyota Tundra number1

[@toyotausa]

🤩 🙌

[@Thamac15]

I researched trucks for 2 years before I bought another one. i had an 08 tundra and it was amazing, got rid of it for a luxury car which I ended up not caring for lol. It came down to trust. I don't trust Chrysler products and definitely don't trust a hemi. I don't trust the ecoboost with so many issues it's had, but I do trust the coyote motor ford has but the rest of the truck has fit and finish issues among other things. I trust the Tundra.

[@artsbest1]

I believe in Toyota and am currently looking at a 2014' Tundra extended cab 4WD LTD. Sticker $42K. One question is why no ventilated seats which are really cool in more ways than one in summer heat.

[@rialbb]

you get one yet? i ordered the double cab offroad. 4.6 tho.. i don't do any towing, just normal hauling. be nice in the winter.

[@rialbb]

yeah i know the 5.7 is pretty bad fuel but some say comparable to other trucks. i'm hoping the 4.6 is quite good. just got it a few hours ago actually. so a few weeks well see.

[@rialbb]

the first 600 kilometers on the truck i'am getting 18.1 liters/100 km. thats around 13 mpg i think. my co-workers ecoboost f150 is getting 15.4 liters/100km. so.. i dont think it's that terrible. probably will get slightly better in a few thousand km.

[@guyproulx1660]

[@SteveSabbai]

The law firm of Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is currently investigating certain Toyota models with the 5.7L V8 engine for Camshaft Tower leakage. Affected are the 2010-2018 models of the Toyota Tundra, Sequoia, Sienna, Land Cruiser, and Lexus LX570. Customers report that a camshaft tower repair includes service or replacement of the oil filter, the oil pan drain plug gasket, the formed in place gasket oil pan, and the camshaft bearing gasket. Out of warranty, the repair costs $3,500. @t

[@swestnr]

I have a Limited Crewmax Dble cab with off road package. After many hours of driving in 'D' per se 75-85, then taking foot off of gas pedal, I hear a reving up in the transmisson while the speedometer needle is lowering.Also,could the shift box/shift gears need calibration? I took it back to service dealership to check and they said the shift/shift box really doesnt have any involvement with calibration of speed. It feels at 80 it calibrates to 70/65 per hour. I know it is not a race car.I have not been able to keep speed with other Limited TRD crewmaxes on the highway.

[@Agumon5]

Wish they would have answered the prominent questions that plague all Toyota trucks: Whats up with the massive frame rust? What are you doing to fix it?

[@haught1480able]

I believe the chasie and bottom are steel plated hen sprayed with assfault then sealed

[@j1818-n4d]

My tumdra has no frame rust at its a 2011 my cousin has a 2011 but a chevy and his frame has a lot of rust I don't know where you guys get the idea that the tundra has a lot of frame rust when it doesn't ive seen fords and chevy frame all rusted being either from a2009 to 2013

[@guyproulx1660]

Jose Mujica i have an 03 tundra and my frame is still very solid

[@MidMoTundra]

Hmm, so if you use the same grade gas (premium) in a reg 5.7 supercharged and a flex fuel 5.7 supercharged the flex fuel engine isn't as efficient? If the tunes are the same and the same parts are replaced (fuel pump, injectors, and etc) then the output should be very similar. I assume hes talking about if you were to use E85 in a flex fuel supercharged 5.7.

[@KingFillip]

What is toyota doing to help prevent frame rust issues?

[@ia7182]

Those employees were fired

[@TheActiveAssault]

fantastic video. is there a tacoma video of a similar style?

[@shylildude]

toyota, why don't you offer a manual transmission and diesel option on the tacoma and tundra? also, why isn't the 4 cylinder engine offered on the double cab long bed tacoma?

[@highplainsdrifter9849]

Million mile Tundras. Built to last.

[@toyotausa]

💪💪

[@hsermoo5204]

so u cant put a supercharger on a flex fuel tundra? please someone help me answer. thanks

[@tracybellows2830]

Is this an DVD or something where do you get the main version of this??

[@0robsatx0]

not sure who you guys asked on the back seats, but everyone I talk to in our truck clubs / shows all say they prefer the previous model back seats. I went to a 2014 Tundra and I can tell you that is my only disappointment with the truck thus far.

[@Red_Bearded_Dad]

And they are bold face lying when they say they asked CrewMax owners if they wanted to keep reclining seats. NO ONE on the forums that I've seen has said they disliked the reclining seats! I AM SO GLAD I GOT A 2013! They did ALL of these changes like this to cut production costs!

[@0robsatx0]

I agree, I have NEVER met anyone that likes the new rear seating better. We are in an offroading club with a large number of Tundras. Thus far all 10 or so of the people I have spoken / messaged all say the same thing. The new rear seats suck. I love my 2014, the back seats are a major let down.

[@Thamac15]

Rob Robert The rear seats are still comfortable yes? It's just that you don't like they no longer recline? That's not a let down. A let down is having an ecoboost f150 that falls flat on its face when you hammer it to get on the interstate and almost die. Ecoboost limp mode is a let down.

[@billycordero7857]

Hi guys why hasn't Toyota hasn't replaced the fan and clutch for electric fans , wouldn't it help on fuel economy ? Thanks again

[@dwightstewart7181]

Why don't you finally fix the Tundra Kiosk app for Android? It's been broken for months now.

[@escotty3385]

I've never owned a Toyota, but I admire, recognize & believe in their reputation. I want to purchase a Tundra, but it doesn't have the diversity of options that I want. They need to invest more into customer wants & needs. I can't avoid or escape seeing the "Big 3" all over utube, showing and displaying their trucks and it's amenities but I can only find limited amts on Toyota. Toyota is too secretive, why should customers spend so much on your vehicles they know very little about. F150 displays their chassis in more ways than one, even on a rotisserie spindle for all to see. Think toyota would do that? In this video we could hardly see a shot of the full chassis. What the hell are you hiding. All manufacturers know everything about each other's vehicles, only we the customers know little or nothing at all. Makes me wonder why, Toyota! Whats up with this always growing bigger and bigger front grill: It ain't necessary. Of course a functional and attractive grill but keep the hood lower. It is getting ridiculous. F150, GMC Sierra & Chevy Silverado Hood & grill design, are just what it should be and give us a beautiful interior like the Ram. Your 1794 Logo and again embossed in the leather interior has no effect on me. That is all about your advertising. You should be paying me to drive around with it in my vehicle. Give me real true value for my money Mr.Toyota, and stop thinking we can't see thru your ruse. Offer features like the F150 has, with theToyota engineering and watch your sales improve dramatically. Of course keep the price low by offering add on options. Do not force me to get one trim over another. Find a way to make that work for you. Ford does it. You must also also have a killer stereo with equalizer & sub woofer. I go nowhere without my music (reggae) sounding Boom-bastic. Not loud and distorted but properly EQ. Finally a bigger gas tank to be able to fill up when at a cheap gas-station, and not having to stop too often. Offer the options your competitors have that makes a difference for your customers. Stop being so reticent, you Toyota engineers, get with the program and give the customers what they're asking for. Until then I refuse to buy Toyota, although I love Toyotas for many other aspects.

[@vernonnixon4491]

I have a new 2021 Tundra base model why is it still 5-6 gallons for fuel in my tank when my gage show empty thats a 100 mile of fuel I cant use gas prices are too high for that

[@mikewholihan4005]

Please make A Tundra CrewMax with 8 foot bed

[@seancrane4301]

Totally agree, I would be in Dept even more if they did

[@MrNaughtymoney]

I wanted the slide and recline rear seat on mine why wouldn't they do it 50/50 slide and fold up.

[@tirwin3]

Why did you take away so many handy storage options in the double cab between 2013 and 2014? Map and water bottle pockets in the rear doors are gone. The little pop-outs under the power window switches in the front doors are gone. Why?

[@Transit_my-way]

Yeah it sucks that the crew max only have a 5.5 ft bed option. And also the double cab not having the slid down rear window like the crew max. Those two things are strong deal breakers for me in picking this truck.

[@shahhussainali1274]

Great

[@david3096]

I love selling this truck an its a very easy sale because its made to with stand a beating an looks amazing an yes I know fuel economy is a big thing but no full size truck unless you go to diesel will get good fuel mileage yes Ford as the F-150 eco boost which is crap btw over heating problems an you have to you 97 an dodge has the 1500 that the best I could get with it was 17.4 so we are right in line an actually a little better with all around performance.

[@localtoys731]

Im getting 24 hwy and 20 city in my new silverado full size 4x4 so yea your statement is false. Fuel economy is a huge thing btw I hate giving away money to the oil companies.

7:44 is why I have shied away from the Tundra. In my 23 years of driving, I've never owned any other brand but Toyota...they are very, very reliable but having to compromise bed space b/c I want a crew max is total bullshit!

[@yingwang647]

一一l.

[@ia7182]

If you can afford a tundra, you can afford a trailer to pull behind you. After all, were looking at 10k pounds of capability in a gas engine. Short bed crew looks really good and sells really good. I have the capability to own two trucks. I can always have a long and short bed truck. But I'd rather have two short beds, they look nice.

[@callofdutyguy9]

CarneAsadaTaco1 get the Double Cab, it's still big anyways and has the larger bed and looks better IMO.

[@bougelaal]

toyota will last you a life time. Yes i love the American trucks ALOT (sierra/silverado/ram1500 etc).... but at the end of the day... i dont wanna have to take it into the shop just because of stupid engine problems. What good is a vehicle if its sitting in a shop half its life?

[@jaredborne1282]

Tundras are designed and made in America, so there's no problem? Using the excuse "Buy American" is no longer a valid reason. The Big 3 are just as foreign as any other vehicle.

[@ShieldArc200]

It will rust like the others now.

[@flight2k5]

domestic trucks do rust, youre right

[@jko0526]

I recently made this decision myself. I had owned GM trucks most of my life but it always seemed I was faced with added expenses down the road to keep them running decent. My wife was a Toyota fan when we met(RAV4 & Highlander) so our family vehicles always had to be a Toyota. One day I was pouring over receipts and was noticing a lot of expense in the vehicle categories and something interesting came to light. Over the last 7 years 4 GM trucks and 3 Toyota Highlanders 89% of repair expenses we from the GM trucks. I made a decision that I was going to do what my wife had been asking for years buy a Tundra. I absolutely love it!

[@jasonman1515]

The reason why I drive a ford because it meets all my criteria. none of the other competitor cannot match. I love Texas. Born and raise. would like to drive a Texas truck but tundra needs to add several more feature before I will switch. 1- I don't care what you think with just a 5.5' bed is a better option for a crewmax. Customer is always right. I want a 6.5' bed with a crewmax body. 2- I want to have heated seats in the rear passenger seats. also make the back passenger area floor flat. don't like a hump or anything. want it flat. 3- redo the dash configuration its looks ugly. 4- I understand that many 3/4, 1 ton truck ford super duty have( or had) a c-channel frame. They have all that torque that will twist the frame and having a fully box stiff frame would crack, but having a open c channel would give the flex to not crack but be able to handle all that torque. I disagree being a c channel on a 1/2 ton truck. you don't have 800 or 900 ft. lb. of torque but only 400 ft. lb. of torque so fully box would be ok to use. These are my criteria. if toyota decide to do some of these changes for the next gen tundra and implement some of these changes, you have my attention.

[@masturcheefMGS]

I have a 2010 CrewMax with the FFV 5.7. Does this mean I cannot supercharge it?

[@ia7182]

Yes you can, but you have to convert it to an all gas no flex engine, It's possible and its been done...there's a video on YT of a truck that had it done.

[@gmrtg1414]

Why no trailer brake?

[@KhmerBoy82297]

good engine but horrible gas mileage. why no efficient truck?

[@Thamac15]

***** The ecoboost gets real world 15mpg. The hemi ram gets 15 mpg. The tundra 5.7 4x4 gets 15 mpg. All these are mpg combined.

[@ShieldArc200]

[@gmrtg1414]

Now 5 plus years after the fact

[@MuhammadUAmeen]

Why HID headlights are not offered on any Tundra?

[@CACressida]

US DOT Laws prevent it. You HID lights aren't allowed at a certain height. The headlights would need to be placed lower in order to meet DOT laws, but with new LED lighting, maybe that might be different.

[@MuhammadUAmeen]

Thanks....I guess what I was trying to ask was why projector head lights are not offered in Tundra.

[@CACressida]

Muhammad U Ameen Honestly, LED lights are the way to go now. They're a lot more efficient and last a lot longer.

[@Gallows_Motorcycle]

The Tundra is a fabulous truck! No doubt about it. But why the hell can't I get a black, double cab, long bed, 4x4 Platinum, 5.7? I want Platinum for the luxury features, doing lots and lots of km's, a double cab because I travel alone (60% of the time) but still do need a bit of interior storage space and I'm takin' customers on the road for the rest of the time from. And of course I wouldn't want them to travel in a poor truck cabin when haulin' their (very) expensive collection cars from circuit to circuit or to and from an auction. So mr. Sweers... why are the possibilities to combine Tundra trucks so restricted at Toyota's since you have all it takes?

[@NOMADXVENTURES]

I love everything about my 2012 Tundra DC except that it does not have a true locking diff. Toyota is slow to chase market/owner drive (Prius excepted) so I don't expect them to change much of what already works. I do with in case of the tundra wish that they would take all that we love in the Tacoma (but it was too small for us) and put in the Tundra. We all use the trucks the same , even off-road/overland so that is where Tundra is missing out because they lose buyers. On interior quality, love my base but even the top model doesn't compete with the D3 top truck models (not my style, but it's noticeable).

[@Jhon-zm7pc]

WHERE IS THE DIESEL?

[@beekhang18]

[@Red_Bearded_Dad]

I love my 2013 Tundra... but for this video about the 2014, why didn't they just say, "to answer your questions about anything mechanical, please refer to any videos for the 2007-2013 Tundra models. And NO, nothing is different mechanically or with efficiency."

[@1stGenDsmTuner]

do something with fuel economy! !!!!!!!!!!!

[@brucelee8584]

LOL it's truck, buy a Prius and haul around a trailer.

[@danthai2685]

Gas is not cheap anymore. Had Toyota think about a locking system for the tank fuel cap? At least something identical to Corolla, Camry, Sienna... pop door from inside the car.

[@brucelee8584]

I honestly do not know who they are getting their so called "surveys" from but.. the majority of the people who complain about the "LACK" of stuff in the forums isn't that group of people. Are they polling old grandpas and grandmas?

[@displayedimagination9710]

Why not put a manual transmission ?!?

[@donkeyrider]

Hill assist is needed. For the price you charge for this truck should be standard. I Like my truck. But not love it. Oh and Inverter should have been standard for 120w. Honestly after my Tahoe and Silverado I feel interior could use a bit more.

[@nathan3306]

The current Tundra is an improvement from the previous model but there are some things in this video that made me laugh a little. I don't understand how they can stand behind the current fuel economy rating on this truck. Sure it has some good tech in there but it lacks technical features some of the current half tons offer(direct injection, turbo, cylinder deactivation, ect) Don't get me wrong, it is a good motor. The frame really made me laugh. The Tundra does not ride any better than it's competitors with fully boxed frames. Frame flex for better off road performance is questionable. I wouldn't think the frame giving maybe 3/4 of an inch more with flex? To me, this is shaving the price of the overall cost of the vehicle production. I'd rather have the fully boxed any day. I think Toyota has earned it's spot in the domestic half ton market with the Tundra but if they really want to be a contender, they had better step it up. I do believe they are headed in the right direction but they have got to stop waiving around the reliability like it will put them on top. Same goes for the Tacoma... solid truck but good grief, 2005 technology and returning full size truck mpg's. C'mon Toyota, you have many buyers waiting!

[@nathan3306]

Glad to see Toyota is reading car forums. Toyota can learn a thing or two from these websites.

I still have my 1st gen 2000 Tundra. I aint trading in on a new gen Tundra. trucks are too pricey. if I end up having to get another Toyota truck its going to be the Tacoma. ALOT CHEAPER.

[@Red_Bearded_Dad]

Oh and more on the rear seat in the 2014 Tundra, couldn't you have at LEAST provided under-seat or behind-the-seat storage??? Did Toyota actually introduce ANY new features besides a new radio and instrument cluster? I mean without removing better features like said reclining rear seat. How is this being competitive??? So basically comparative power, but with worse mpg/efficiency is somehow better than the competition?? Oh and you retuned the shocks. YAY. Looks good, but I'm not sure I'll go back with a Tundra when that time comes.

[@patricksingr]

WOULD NOT recommend to get Tundra unless you are going to spend more than $6000 on the transmission after 100K miles. Toyota built crappy transmission --don't waste your $. We have 2008 Tundra failed on transmission and Toyota wouldn't recognize,they said we are just the unlucky one. So either pay the dealer $6000 or take it somewhere else --that's how you will get treat with Toyota

[@TorresFord]

why don't tundras have push to start! or a new key! or projector headlights!?!? only complaints so far.

[@TorresFord]

true, but when you buy a 40k truck it would be nice to have these options. corollas and rav4s have those options. the 1794 edition nor the platinum have projectors or push to start. I'm just saying those options would have helped. every other maker has them.

I love my Tundra... but why is the fuel economy so bad??? :0

[@captaindeadpool1640]

Big motor

[@garrettwalker3340]

don't fool yourself people, although toyotas are pretty good trucks, the have their problems too. Torque converter failure, uncontrollable front end shake, unprecedented bed flex/ shake. And the 09 we had was as bad on fuel as my 6.0l GMC. With no more power. Great trucks, just don't think they are the be all and end all.

[@bertraminc9412]

Look at the Ford Raptor and do that to the tundra!

[@BOOBTUBEALBLE]

Will the frame rust through in less than 12 years like my Sequoia did making the truck useless and Toyota doing nothing about it like they did for the 1995 Tacoma owners?... Do all your truck frames rust beyond structural soundness in less than 12 years?
