I have an '08 Tundra, replaced the radio (once under warranty), have repainted it. My biggest problem is that it has 307k miles and the damn thing won't die. I want a new truck, but just can't justify it.

[@bobelliott2748]

I bought a 2013 Tacoma new. One recall that I have been notified about was a problem related to cold and humidity....ie northern Ontario and Quebec. I live in southern alberta. cold and dry. Toyota gave me a new undercoat regardless. My truck has been above the arctic circle twice on the Dempster highway. This truck will NEVER die.

[@bufallobiff]

If I'm not being too nosey, what did a pant job set you back or did you paint it ?

Ha. No kidding. Fellow '08 owner, best truck Ive ever had. Replaced radio just because, nothing else but bateries, a belt, tuneup parts, and tires.

[@jamesesenwein5152]

@@bufallobiff when I repainted, the truck had some minor body damage of dents, scratches, dings, etc. I was teaching scuba to Boy Scouts and it had made a few trips through the woods and had its fair share of parking lot damage. I paid a body guy around $600 to fix the body work and then I sanded it with my orbital sander and hand painted it in a bed liner paint called Monstaliner. Did it in my driveway for $500....with a textured roller. Truck has 313k miles now. After looking at new F-150’s and new Tundras, I’m just going to keep it.

My tire sensor light stays on, despite all the tires being aired to specification. I've heard that is a common problem. I bought the truck last August 2020 with 180K. It is immaculate inside. The previous owner installed a fancy radio, with Bluetooth, backup camera, & it plays DVDs as well. I'm very happy with my purchase, & look forward to putting my own miles on it.

Love this truck.

[@RobMotive]

[@dixonbuttes6564]

Ok, so to manage these things, it sounds like the takeaways are: Plan to replace the leaf springs (easy); Inspect for frame rust, keep the frame clean (esp in winter) during ownership; Replace the stereo? If these are the reasons to avoid an entire vehicle line, prospective Tacoma owners should roll over to the Wrangler forums where their idea of a "reason to avoid" a model year includes: Failing heads, blown rear main seals, defective main crank bearings, cracked and leaking oil cooler and filter assemblies, and so on. I love the Toyota perspective -- don't buy a Tacoma because of rusty leaf springs..... ba hahahahaha ha. Jokes aside, this is a great analysis and provides excellent perspective about what constitutes serious issues in Toyota-land --- step outside the Toyota bubble, and these issues start to look pretty manageable.

[@RobMotive]

Well said👍

I own a 2013 regular cab 4x4 Tacoma. I have 125,000 miles. Have not done brakes yet, truck is automatic, only basic maintenance. Catalytic Converter got clogged, but was a recall.

[@juanmartinez1337]

I own a 2006 tacoma, heard about the recall, called toyota and they replaced my leaf springs free of charge. All you need to do is call Toyota give them your VIN number and if your truck is on the list they’ll replace them free of charge. The sudden acceleration was taken care of when i took the truck in for service. All they did was cutout part of the carpet underneath the accelerator pedal and that was it. As far as the stereo goes i replaced mine shortly after i got the truck and therefore no issues here.

The secondary air pump failure issue was due to moisture being drawn into the intake system. Their solution was to place a baffle over the opening to the intake inside the passenger side fender. My daughter drove mine in a torrential downpour rainstorm once. A few days later, it would turn over, but not start on me. But, it seemed to go away. I got lucky in that it must not have drawn enough moisture into the system to cause the secondary air pump to completely fail.

If your late grandfather kept the oil changed & used the right oil, that truck is just getting broke in with only 58,000 miles.

This video was not what I was looking for. I wanted to know why offroaders are preferring the Tacoma over the Tundra. Yet I'm glad I found this page. I have been a Tundra owner since 2007. I've modified my Tundras. Yes that was plural. The first year the new 5.7 Tundra came out I bought it site unseen while coming back from Arkansas to Huntsville Texas. Based on only stats. Come to find out years later that the 2007 model was completely unrestricted. Meaning full throttle in all 6 gears. This thing was unbeatable against every other stock truck on the market. Yeah I tested it every chance I had. I was told that the new 2007 model was unrestricted to gain popularity. OH and it worked. Years after that 1st through 3rd was restricted and a speed limiter was added. I'm trying to remember all the ones I had. 2007 2x4, 2013 2x4, 2016 4x4 (wrecked), 2013 2x4 (used) then the 2019 4x4. On the 2016 4x4 I helped K&N develop a cold air intake and did a flash tune on it. IT WAS FAST AS HELL!!!. The 2019 that I currently have I was given a cold air intake from K&N to test. It still needs a flash tune. I'm waiting on the developer to right the tune. My only problem with these trucks was wheel alignment problems. I had to have them re-aligned often. other then that I put almost 100,000.00 miles on it before trading it in. XM radio antenna was in the wrong place on the 2007 but quickly relocated it in future models. I hope this helps someone.

I had a ‘12 5.7L Tundra with the Cam Tower leak. This was covered under the factory 5/60K powertrain, thank goodness. Unfortunately it’s not a “recognized” recall by Toyota and some aren’t as lucky as me. Traded it for an ‘18 and am happy I offloaded it.

[@nordicpride9708]

@@RobMotive It’s not bad to fix if you have some mechanical inclination and proper tools

The only reason they had so many recalls is because Toyota is a solid company and they did lots of campaign meanwhile the American truck companies that had much more serious issues they never issued recalls and turned a blind eye to make them look better on paper.

Rob you mentioned a noise coming from the driver side door at 2:59. I can attest to this issue. Now keep in mind, my truck has a 2 inch lift and off road tires, but I was going down the Interstate between 70-75, and it has done this a couple of times. The first time, it about freaked me out. As a particular oddity, when cruising at highway speeds, my moonroof might get a strange vibration coming from it (especially if it's a really windy day). Not sure if that's ever been reported or not. It's probably a combo of a few different things. Overall, I still love my 2016 Tacoma. My previous truck was a 2014 Tacoma, and I miss it. But my 16 is a step above the 2014. Enjoy the channel! keep up the good work!

[@RobMotive]

There were a few complaints about a noise in the door. I actually heard something in the dash the other day. Seems to have stopped now though 🤔

[@playdixie]

@@RobMotive well the noise resurfaced today while on the highway from the door. I think it's honestly the wind resistance on the highway in combination with the vibrations with the off road tires.
