HIGH MILEAGE TOYOTA TUNDRA double cab v8 4.6. 2012 Toyota Tundra review 225k high mileage

[@homiesforlife3245]

I just got a 2012 4.6 all black tundra 101,789 miles and I feel like I made the best choice without even doing research on how good these trucks are

[@OakJex]

Nice, its almost broken in for you now.

[@atomicorang]

It was a pleasure smashing the like button..Currently driving 16 Tacoma DoubleCab but will go back to a Tundra.

[@repairvehicle]

Thank you

[@gcvincent3989]

Tundra 4.6 is the best truck I have ever owned and I have had all the other crap out there. Will never buy anything else

[@1973sonofodin]

566,000 as of today on my 2012 4.6 Texas Edition. Yes, it has the same dirvetrain.

[@repairvehicle]

Not surprised at all. It's a tundra 1 million miles truck, no matter if it's 4.6, 4.7 or 5.7. Subscribe to my channel, I have ton of maintenance videos for tundra.

[@uekisushi4683]

Hey is that in miles or KM?

[@repairvehicle]

Miles

[@rromero1318]

Have you have any problems with the tire pressure light staying on all the time?

[@repairvehicle]

I had because sensors were bad. Replaced the sensors and ligh went away

[@JI-sg5uy]

I have 2006 with 453,000 and my work truck is a 2012 with the 4.6. 244,000 miles. Great trucks. I run them hard and never let me down

[@repairvehicle]

Everything still original never been replaced or repaired?

[@JI-sg5uy]

repairvehicle the 2006 is all original. Just routine maintenance since 2006. The 2012 I got back in Oct 2018 with 82,000 miles on it. I have put 162,000 miles on it in 18 months. I drive about 2200 miles a week on avg. I pull a 5000 pound boom lift. The only thing that has been repaired on the 2012 is the secondary air injection pumps.

[@repairvehicle]

Toyota quality! Thank you for sharing and hopefully you subscribed to my channel.

[@scottgarvy]

I have 2012 4.6L. It runs and drives almost like new. 220k miles. Very well maintained. All original.

[@repairvehicle]

Thanks for sharing

[@thyslop1737]

You scored. That truck is/was in great condition.

[@jessehuff3876]

Had a 2011 tundra 4.6 with 212000 when my job got rid of it besides basic maintenance water pump was only thing changed at 180k. Loved that truck so much bought a 2011 with 4.6 98k changed air injection pump that's it.

[@repairvehicle]

these 4.6 tundras are very good trucks, very underrated.

[@jessehuff3876]

Used to drive 5.7 too, I prefer 4.6. 5.7 has more torque no doubt. But seem like very similar off the line and response.

[@repairvehicle]

True. I have 5.7 Sequoia and 4.6 tundra and both are great vehicles.

[@ronaldbacza2724]

I have 2001 Tundra with 209000 mi mine looks and runs great last week changed carrier bearing rubber gone this week transmission mount.

[@Max9507]

Have an 09 Base Tundra ext. cab 2 wheel drive with the 4.0 V-6 it's a great truck, gets around just fine and when i bought it a year ago it only had 20,100 original miles, got it from an estate sale the former owner was retired & passed away. Now it has 27,500 miles. Has all the dealer paperwork, plus what i've done to it. Yes it still has the skid pan except it was missing two bolts.

Great vid! Thank you.

[@repairvehicle]

Thank you. Do you have tundra?

[@shreksexy6879]

Repairvehicle, Does the 4.6 engine have good power or does it feel alittle sluggish during acceleration?

[@repairvehicle]

4.6 is completely different beast. I have 5.7 Sequoia and 4.6 tundra. With 5.7 you have ton of torque at low engine speed. 4.6 moves truck effortlessly, it likes to rev higher than 5.7. If I had a chance to trade in for 5.7 without paying extra, I wouldn't do it for my needs. FOR what purpose are you planning to get 4.6?

[@patgenier1965]

My 2012 4.6 does all I need. Quads, sleds etc. 210000km. Have it since 80000km. No issues. Brakes oil and tires that's it. Love my 12 SR5 4.6. 125kmh on the hwy between Calgary and Edmonton regularly. Solid.

Why do you only look to buy high mileage trucks? I always thought the lower the mileage the better.

[@repairvehicle]

I like high mileage trucks, they’re affordable without worrying about trips to the dealer

[@chadriggs3322]

I was looking to purchase a truck just like yours but its a 2010. Is a 4.6 v8 double cab 4x4 with 122000 miles. I wanted a truck capable of towing. Do you this truck can handle heavy loads and do you think it gets decent gas mileage. Do you think the 5.7 is better?

[@repairvehicle]

How heavy trailer are you planning to tow? How far distance are you planning to tow? For what type of towing are you planning to use?

[@chadriggs3322]

Around 10000 pounds. Was gonna pull a large travel trailer to different states.

[@repairvehicle]

5.7 better option, more torque. If you planning to pull every month, I would rather go with diesel truck

[@repairvehicle]

It has good maintenance history. However, I would look underneath to see the frame and frame rails if they are rusted out or have heavy rust on them. Also, check bed for rust and if it has plastic bed liner, major rust issues there under the plastic bed liner. Also, it’s only rear wheel drive.

[@sofarsogood3969]

Frame looks clean and good on the outside. However, inside the frame could be rusted out and needs checked. I had to climb underneath my truck with flash light to check the frame inside before making purchase, because inside traps salt and water and causes lots of rust

[@repairvehicle]

What year is your 4.6?

Its 2015 4.6 sr5 4x4 double cab WITH OUT tow package

[@repairvehicle]

According to the Toyota website you can tow with your 4.6 up to 6500lb

[@repairvehicle]

Just change fluids more often and you will be in good shape. Strongly recommend you getting a scangauge to monitor transmission temperature when towing.

[@jonrowel]

Just don’t know if mine comes with a trans cooler and would be safe for towing especially going uphill
