Being a toyota technician, I can tell you that toyota WILL make this right. They're very good at that. Wonky issues are to be expected with brand new models.

[@justacinnamonbun8658]

"Toyota WILL make this right." Unfortunately once the vehicle is sold by an independent dealer (basically a completely separate entity from the manufacturer, the retailer) Toyota doesn't have to do anything. They've already sold the unit to the dealer and made their money. You call Toyota, they point you to the dealer. You call the dealer, they point you to Toyota. It's designed this way for a reason, to keep the customers in an endless cycle of bull 💩. It's a finger pointing scam is what it is. Nobody wants to take responsibility but they love to take your money. If you have $$$ you can get a lawyer and probably get your money back. Many people don't have thousands of dollars laying around just to sue a car manufacturer. And this isn't exclusive to Toyota by any means, THEY ALL PLAY THIS GAME. Every single one, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Mazda, all of them. I'm speaking from experience. It almost doesn't pay to buy anything new. Better off buying a beater, use it for a year or two then buy another beater. None of the manufacturers stand behind anything that they have to shell out money for. That's the honest truth. People still have the misconception that car manufacturers care about their customers. They do not care about their customers. They are in business to make money, in the car business once you buy it, it's yours. Good luck buddy 👍. Thanks for your money!

I know my 1st Ford Ranger (1987) I was driving on Interstate 5 in California when my stick shift popped out of the floor, while shifting gears (in heavy traffic) well I knew where a Ford Dealer was about 3 miles up the road, and managed to make it in 2nd gear, to get there, I took the stick shift and walked into their show room using the stick shift like a cane, works good for a cane, but doesn't do a damn thing for my truck. Instant service. Cost me $292 for repairs, and I said the truck doesn't even have 3000 miles on it. and is only a month old. Got a check in the mail by Ford Motor Company about a month later. Anwhoose, this truck went the highest milage of any vehicle I ever owned I finally buried it at 348,000 miles and only done one full oil change, at 1500 miles, the rest of the time using Mobil 1, I would replace the filter at 3000 miles and put in another court of Mobil 1. (Now I wouldn't tell you to do this, I used to work at a Mobil 1 gas station and tried it because of the way they ranted and raved about it. Now the trucks I had before my Ford Ranger where Toyota SR5, and the highest milage I could get on them was 130, 000 because idiots kept running into them, and the one with 130,000 on it (car, not truck Toyota Tiger) got picked up by a water spout going over the Pensacola Bay Bridge. Today Toyota just about priced themselves out of the market. Not one vehicle made worth more then $20,000, but you all keep buying them. Oh, my Toyota Tacoma I bought for $4000 because that was the lowest priced good looking and running truck I could find. My other Toy is a Yaris, ($13,999 new) It may not be a speedster but it surprises me the way it drives. Great city car, and good gas milage, my Tacoma gets about 22-24 mpg.

I worked for a Tier One automotive supplier to 17 US assembly plant. As a rule of thumb (if you can), don't buy a new vehicle with significant technical changes in the first year of production. Most manufacturers make running changes the first months of production based on actual driving, customer feedback and known concerns. It usually takes several months to make the changes through the supply chain. I ignored this guideline and bought a 2018 F150 with the revised 5.0 and 10 spd' soon after its production. After 11k miles I traded back to a 2016 with the 5.0 / 10 spd. The 2018 transmission did not know what gear to be in in town and was constantly lugging the engine with jerky shifts.

This is going to be one of those cases where the Ford Ecoboost will be the most reliable forced induction gas truck motor. I got blasted for saying that but if you think about it Ford has been manufacturing and improving the Ecoboost motor for over a decade and they're powerful, smooth and well sorted. IF I had to have a new truck at the moment it would be a Nissan Titan with the VK56 motor. Smooth, simple and most of all reliable. I think old school pickups like the previous gen Tundra and the new Titan will be the best way to go. A little more in fuel but it's the lack of downtime that will be worth it.

Had a Ford V6 3.5L ecoboost, the problems are in the platform. Small displacement, twin turbo puts the engine under immense amounts of pressure among other things. You'll burn timing chains, spark plugs, coils, etc. Just the nature of the beast. You can get a naturally aspirated V8 with a slight decrease in fuel efficiency with proven reliability or you can get a slightly more fuel efficient truck with serious maintenance costs to account for. Also, if something is back ordered it means you're not the only one waiting for the part.

[@WarriorRips]

I had this same issue with my 2022 tundra. Got the reduced engine power alert when i was trying to overtake a semi merging onto the highway. I had to immediately pull over onto the side of the highway after almost getting run over. Turned the truck off, turned it back on and no check engine lights. I drove the rest of the way to work and called my dealer, took it in for service the next day and they told me there were no error codes and nothing wrong with the truck that they could see or duplicate. A few months later, I was going to pull into traffic, and when i got on the gas, the truck didn't go anywhere, and i almost got rear-ended and had to jump the curb into the grass. Took the truck back in for service with the dash cam video, and they still told me nothing wrong with the truck. Replaced the plastic piece on the seat 4 times, had the infotainment system glicth repeatedly connect, disconnect, etc. Still have issues with the fuel gage, rattling windows and doors while driving, and the truck sounds terrible on the start-up. I literally will never buy another toyota again. The truck market is terrible now, and i can't even trade out of this pos.

I drive F150's (new one on order) and bought a 2022 Camry so I'm brand neutral on this comment. Ford Super Duties have had the cab-off deal for awhile. I believe it was actually mechanics in the field that came up with the idea. If Toyota designed for that situation, I'm sure it is no big deal. Unplug a few things and lift it off. I would be more unhappy with long waits for parts, but summer of 2020 a buddy waited 3 months for an AC compressor for his Ram. It's all due to parts shortages for everything, not just semiconductors. I would ignore all the "turbos-are-terrible" guys. They make the vehicle perform and have been no issue for me since 2011. Actually, no problem since 2009 if you count my JD utility tractor! Your other option is cylinder deactivation on a V8 which nobody has made reliable t yet.

Scotty Kilmer, who is a massive Toyota fan, warned about the 2022 Tundra turbo 3.5L V6 engine a few weeks ago. He predicted major problems with it, and he has proven to be correct (not only from your video but others). Ford also had growing pains and problems with it's Ecoboost engines, including the early ones from 2011 on, and then the new 2017 3.5L V6s twin turbos. The later 3.5s had issues with the waste gates and cam phasers, which caused noise and rattling, especially during cold starts. Ford made this right, and a CSB plus your powertrain warranty means Ford replaces the cam phasers for free if you are under 60,000 miles, and then it is a percentage cost replacement over 60K miles. 2022 Toyota owners are also having issues with the auto shutoff system, rear seat latches, some fit and finish issues, windshield sealing (hearing wind at speed), the autobraking systems activating on inclines, the rear seat belt indicator going off when no one is in the rear of the cab, door latch issues, and the steering wheel popping out of its place setting.

I went home and after a couple days Same thing check engine light with another light that was right next to it. So I took it back to the dealership this time they told me it was the fuel injector sensor that wasn’t working, one of them. They told me I could drive home it’s safe because they had to backorder the part I was so stupid enough to drive home with my check engine light on but after a week or so I called him back and I told him that I don’t feel safe and I will need a loaner car so they told me to take back the truck get a loaner. So after three weeks or maybe less than three weeks they fixed my truck and I got it back. After a couple days my truck started making some weird noises quick call starting some clicking noise so I took the truck back to them and I told him bad there is a problem and before taking it to Toyota I took it to my mechanic just to see if he could tell what’s wrong with it and he gave me a report saying what’s wrong with my truck because there was a noise coming from the bottom of my truck which had to do something with the transmission or Or something I’m not a mechanic so I don’t exactly know what is wrong with it but the thing is that they could hear the noise so they call Their Mechanic from Toyota the specialist to come and check it out. But the mechanic told him that you know it’s not a safety issue so you can just drive home with a broken truck that makes a weird noise when starting it. Till now Toyota is refusing to fix it. What would you guys suggest me to do?

[@triggerhappyreviews]

That’s insane! Check your states lemon laws and hire an attorney.

I had the same issue with my Lexus IS200t. My check engine would pop when I would drive and I’d lose power and run in reduced power. I took it in, they changed the throttle body saying it was the throttle body. Kept happening afterwards. Looked in to it, and it turns out (if your pedal is on the floor like mine rather than coming down from above) the mats sometimes get caught under the pedal keeping the gas technically “on” and when pushing the break, both pedals are essentially being pushed down causing the car to think it can’t stop and essentially shutting down power. I readjusted the all weather OEM mats my car has and it completely stopped all the issues it had with losing power.

They could have just added a 8speed or 10speed to the 5.7L Tundra and everyone would be happy 😩

[@natelove187]

GM and Ford joint 10 Speed Transmission have major problems. Those truck owners have to wait 3 plus months for a replacement transmission that’s going to go out again. 10 Speed is not good. You don’t use that many gears on a bicycle 🚴

[@firstlast---]

@@natelove187 Never any issues from the dozens of customers vehicles I drove with the 10 speed either. You need to realize that people are a lot more likely to voice their experience if it was a negative one. People who don't have issues typically don't say anything

[@marklinley815]

I can understand how frustrating this is. You think, oh joy, I finally am able to purchase the all new Tundra, and now this. This is why I never, ever buy a first generation new model of anything. Toyota will fix the truck. They will tell you seek your Lemon law through your state. They will not worry about a few customers complaints. I hate that your having to go through this. In addition too, your having to make a payment on something, you can’t even drive.

[@Wilsoncraft.studio]

For what it's worth this is supposedly a fairly small number of defective waste gates (can't verify of course). This does totally suck. Your truck has the exact build I'm looking for and it does look awesome, minus the turbo issue ;-). I hate it when people get stuck with an issue like this and don't have their vehicle due to no parts. Honestly I think they should just reduce their production output for a month in order to get the parts to fix broken down trucks and then try to catch up on production later. I'm currently in the queue waiting for a '22 Tundra, but starting to have some second thoughts. I've also heard of folks having some issues with that large LCD too (turning colors, etc).

[@TheMinnow101]

For what is worth, how many ‘22’s are out there and how many miles are on them. It’s waaayy to early to making statements such as “fairly small number of defective waste gates”.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

The thing that makes this ridiculous is having to pull the engine or remove the cab to fix it. Dont know about you but I sure as hell dont want to have to do that ...EVER!!!!! Especially when you can get 300k miles out of an NA engine.

[@triggerhappyreviews]

I haven’t made an update video yet but they didn’t pop my cab. They did take off the entire front end off and “moved” the engine.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

@@triggerhappyreviews Which makes it that much harder to work on your own vehicle. While I admit I no longer go deep when I work on my truck. I'll do brake jobs,install a lift kit,install TRD sway bars and the like. But there was a time when I did everything.

[@Bigshiesty1]

That’s unfortunate hear. My 03 expedition has 190k miles and runs like a dream couldn’t trade it in for nothing.

[@MrNismopro]

Good luck with Lemon Law. Auto manufacturers are fighting tooth and nail to drag out these cases now. I've been at it now for 11 months for a replacement vehicle.

[@danfieldsphotog]

Yep, no way I’d ever buy a first year turbo……or would I ever buy a Covid truck. Can’t even imagine all the very predictable problems with that brutal combination

[@yzrippin]

Also take into account the lumber crisis that just happened along with all of the other ones don't buy any house made within the last 3 years

[@ImSrry4BeingWhite]

Whats a covid truck?

[@yzrippin]

@@ImSrry4BeingWhite anything produced from January 2020 to present is a covid item or entity for instance you may have seen the lumber shortage crisis that happened because of covid and transportation shutdowns due to lockdowns because of this contractors had to skimp and skim and search around for lumber meaning any house built within the last 2 years is dog shit matchsticks. Thus you can determine from that the amount of people constantly having to go home sick or dropping from a development program entirely due to covid could have happened during the development of these new vehicles thus leading to small problems causing devastating catastrophic failures leaving you the one who owns it so in order to mitigate all of that don't by anyting produced within the last 2 years simple

[@yzrippin]

@@ImSrry4BeingWhite however what most people call a covid truck is a truck delayed on delivery because of computer chip shortages again caused by lockdowns

[@tamb1261]

Please keep us updated. I agree, I would want to start from scratch. Good luck to you Brother.

[@atenconsult1437]

Thanks for sharing this with us. This type of turbo was on the market for many years and all problems were fixed. Interesting what issues Toyota has. I agree - get a new truck from them. Good luck.

[@lvsqcsl]

These turbos that Toyota is using have wastegates? Dang, whatever happened to variable-vane turbos? The truck body must come off to do service work on these turbos? I had that done on my Excursion recently and it is neat seeing the truck body jacked to the ceiling and being able to touch everything on the engine that would normally be inaccessible. GREAT VIDEO!

[@coadams95]

Just bought the 2023 army green , it’s so beautiful & drive great , haven’t had any problems in the 1st month

[@DrewCreal]

Thanks for sharing your experience here. I'll have to cross this off my list of trucks that I'm considering. Now it's time for me to figure out how to import a Land Cruiser 70 series from AU or the middle east...

[@mikeo5673]

Hey Drew. If you figure that out please let me know. I've been looking and trying to figure it out as well. Lol

[@robertturner204]

Hay...Sam....I am a Marine Combat Veteran and have NEVER bought a new truck until now as I reach the end of my Law Enforcement career....my wife and I have ordered our Casita and hope to go to Rice,Texas and get it in July....I bought the Tundra because of the Chevy 350....end of story....if you grew up wrenching you know the power of the small block Chevy which I know TOYOTA only improved on.....so no...I have money and can afford fuel....

[@triggerhappyreviews]

Thanks for the deleted comment Sam. It was funny but you’re a Dick.

[@patriotone755]

Stick to your guns! I would not accept this situation either, go Lemon law. Hang in there!

[@cessealbeach]

Here is my Take, The 5.7V8 , it had multiple issues from day one, It took toyota 15 plus years to fine tune the 5.7 V8, when they finally made it bug free, It was replaced with a V6 Twin Turbo, Main reason 13MPG on the Average

My 2012 has 140,000. Runs like a dream!!!! I will keep it till it blows up!
