Buy A 2024 Tundra Now With Big Discounts Or Wait Until 2025? Lets Compare Both Options

[@AdventureBoyzTV]

Your content is solid. But you’re leaving out the REAL reason ALL manufacturers have major discounts on inventory right now. People can’t afford them and financing costs are too high! This isn’t just about a recall. It’s an economy problem.

[@Jason-Samko]

That is very true. the market has reach max and has to come down. Glad it is starting to

[@peterhoma6385]

I own a 21 Tacoma TRD off road 4x4 love the truck , but have been wanting to buy a full size truck and have been holding off , because all the full size trucks have major issues not one of them from any manufacturer right now is reliable enough! If it’s not cylinder deactivation, it’s spun bearing if it’s not spun bearing it a transmission issue the list goes on and on for all of them, which just sucks , can’t justify paying 60-70k on a POS .

[@Jason-Samko]

@peterhoma6385 no truck by any brand made in 2024 and beyond will ever be reliable, trouble free, or low risk. Buy the one you like rhw most and put an extended warranty on it is the only security we have today.

[@Plucus21]

Nissan Titan is highly reliable.

[@mrmclovin6945]

In the same situation, but i have a 2019 Tacoma, but need a bigger truck to pull a RV.

[@peterhoma6385]

I just recently traded in my 21 Tacoma for a 2024 tundra Limited , after I did my research for months and months I went with the tundra , the spun bearing issue has been rectified since 1-1-24 , so any tundra built after that date should be good to go .

Tundra is already lacking numbers in payload/hauling/space for guys who actually use their truck to work. They only had reliability going for them. Now that’s gone.

There’s a lot people that will buy it with a big discount. For me, even with a nice discount it’s a lot of money to gamble with. I would pass on it. I would rather pay full price for a solid truck or vehicle. I’d rather be able to sleep at night and feel good when I’m driving anywhere, I rather not have some doubt in the back of my mine.

[@Jason-Samko]

Great points and can 100% agree with that. I may not be a long term truck owner as I sell them every 2 years. But Reliability is the highest level of priority for me as well. I travel too much and too far too often to deal with breakdowns 1000 miles away with trailers loaded with gear.

[@keithcrandall1369]

unfortunately GM and Ford are having issues with most of their new trucks as well.

[@tomglpn]

The whole auto industry is at the beginning of a major deflation. That includes Toyota as well. Major repos are starting, people are broke. In my opinion this is just the beginning. I'm waiting till at least 2025 to buy anything.

[@Jason-Samko]

Agree 100. The writing is on the wall

[@DUNEATV]

OK hypothetical question to someone looking to buy a tundra… let’s assume you buy it brand new and drive it until the warranty runs out. Maybe you buy an extended warranty. Question… what are you going to do if you lose an engine outside of warranty? ($20-$25,000 replacement engine)

[@Jason-Samko]

Great point! Personally I would never own any new truck 2024 and beyond without an extended warranty and would sell it before the warranty is out. But if someone was going to try to get 150k out of this and be out of warranty that is a huge fear and risk. And not to correct you, but to let others know from all my research, the cost to replace this motor for those that have had to already is between 30-35k!!!!!! unbelievable. For comparison a brand new crate motor for our jeeps is 8k and a brand newe crate motor for an f250 is 8500. But the tundra short block replacement is between 30-35k with labor...ouch.

My current plan: after looking at the Titan at 0% for 5 years and getting them to $51,500 out the door including 5.5% sales tax on a $57,350 MSRP. I realized I can buy one next year used with 20,000 miles on it and purchase a Nissan 8 year 150,000 mile warranty for around $38,000 all in same build. My excise tax will be lower too. I’ll self finance at 4.5%. V-8 with decent mpg. I drove one. They suck in some ways but for long haul camper towing I think they’re pretty dang comfortable and capable and reliable. They obviously don’t hold their value.😂

[@wallyborni4411]

Hi Jason, I just came back from Toyota dealer, I watched your videos and tried to negotiate and the max I got is a 2024 Tundra SX made on June/24 as you recommended to check the date after May/24 and the lowest they go is with 48k with undercoating “1000$ ish” It has the SR5 convince package and SX. The price is before taxes and fees, original price was 55k, what you think. Note: rep was kind of rushing me and said it’s a weekend deal and I’m pretty sure I saw the price a week ago, I just left and didn’t like the way he was pushing on the sale even tho I’m pretty sure it’s kind of a deal comparing to other dealers around here in Vermont. Want to know what you think

[@Jason-Samko]

@wallyborni4411 id say it's a great deal. About 8k off is what i was seeing as a doable option when I just made the tundra deals video. It will publish in a week or so. But your right in that zone

[@wallyborni4411]

@ and u think engines build after May might be better then the earlier ones, right?

[@Jason-Samko]

@wallyborni4411 i do. I believe it was the car care nut channel that talked about the part numbers changing in April that he thought were to address the engine issues. It's based on what he said (he as good as info gets on toyota) thst i say that.

Do not buy now until Toyota remove the turbo on their engines. Turbo or Eco boosts cause engine issues.
