Good job. I'm just sick of hearing how ancient that they are. These guys don't get it..... many of us want problem free and proven. Way to go Toyota...

[@robcary2808]

YES! Excellent comments everyone. I specifically did NOT buy the F-150 after the test drive because the V6 w/ twin turbos is new on the scene - issues w/ the turbos, direct injection issues, etc. My 2018 Tundra w/ the 5.7L is a proven reliable workhorse. I didn't buy a ½ ton truck to get great gas mileage, I need a truck that will tow my new travel trailer across the country...NOT be stuck in Nebraska getting the F-150 or RAM1500 repaired mid-vaca. My Tundra purchase was based on 2 criteria: (1) My 2006 Tacoma had 165K after 13 years w/ no issues (Toyota replaced the frame no charge even though there was no rust) and (2) Consumer Reports is my bible. Read the Tundra reviews for the last 10 years VS RAM 1500 and Ford F-150...enough said.

I own a 2013 Tundra 5.7 with 85K miles on it which seems to have developed a cam tower leak. My dealership has quoted me $4,901.00 to fix this issue. I realize this is a big job, however I'm having a problem spending that kind of money on a repair if it's only going to reoccur in the future. Can anyone tell me if the seals/gaskets have been redesigned to eliminate this leak issue in the future? Is there a better sealer to use or aftermarket seals that won't prematurely fail? A $5,000 engine repair bill on a Toyota engine with only 85K miles on it is a hard pill to swallow. UPDATE - I have since switched from 0W-20 to 5W-30 and have virtually eliminated the entire oil leak issue. I made the educated decision to go with a slightly heavier oil after extensive research and discovering almost every other country where the exact same truck is sold, Toyota recommends heavier oils. The only reason why Tundras sold in the United States are "required" to use 0W-20 oil is to meet strict Federal gas mileage mandates. Thinner oil = slightly higher MPG's.

I live in San Antonio, TX and own a 2015 Tundra 5.7 4x4 big cab with 94,000 on it. If you can, try to find one that hasn’t been used up north where the undercarriage gets destroyed because of the road salt. Here in Texas we have zero rust issues unless you’re into using your truck as a submarine. Some used car dealers will buy their vehicles from northern auctions/bulk sellers that usually have rust issues but most southerners aren’t used looking for rust damage. And always use Toyota made engine oil, filter and spark plugs, it actually makes a big difference in the long run. I get my oil from the dealership then change the oil myself to save money. I haven’t had any issues so far, just a hiccup with the stereo system that for some reason likes to turn itself off once or twice a month but I just turn it back on. The door opening limiters tend to come loose, just tighten the two bolts at the door jam, that’s all it is and you don’t have to replace the entire limiter assembly. I enjoy rolling down the rear cab window on cool days, kind of a nice feature. I don’t know if you considered buying a Tacoma instead, they’re nice vehicles and a little easier to drive in city environments but, if the Tundra is the one you want, it won’t let you down. I mention the Tundra since in off roading or driving in harsh winter conditions, the lighter Tacoma is a bit better due to its lighter weight compared to the Tundra which is a monster, lol. Replacement headlights on Amazon are around $300-$500 a set if yours need replacement which I had to do, just make sure the new headlight housings have the light adjustment motor since some housings don’t have it. Well. Hope my rambling helps you and good luck on getting a good one, mine is worth $30K today so yours should hold its value very well but for me, I’ll likely be buried in it, lol.

So I took it to this master tech's shop for a check out. This was 2 days ago. One shock was leaking, no biggie. BUT the timing chain cover was also leaking. No big deal right, just replace the gasket. Well, to access the timing chain cover, you'd have to take the engine out. It's a 20+ hour job. So approximating, between $2,200 and $2,500 to replace the simple leak. So the very first check out I have done and it was just what the Toyota master tech had warned me about.

Thanks for the detailed info. I have a 2008 CrewMax 4x4. I bought it with 273k miles. No mechanical or electrical problems, no leaks. I did replace the tie rod ends to cure a slight front end wobble. Very roomy cab. Hope to keep this truck for a long time. Thanks again for the tips.

I'm really glad I found this video last year! I settled on a 2012 TRD Off-road 4x4 in Barcelona Red. I gotta tell ya, this is the best truck I've ever owned. Gas mileage is not good, but 15k miles last year and about 2,500 miles of towing my Miata, I had nearly zero issues. The only two problems I had were a headlight bulb going out and the trailer light fuse going out. Other than that, it was just oil changes and brakes. This is really a fantastic truck, and thanks for making this video!

Right rear bearing wearing out potentially due to it being the drive tire; i.e. it will see more force over time compared to the left. I always swap my rear tires at 5K miles and then front to back at 10K and the wear will be perfect. Loved this video, very comprehensive and well founded and presented, thank you!

I bought a used 2012 Tundra with a 5.7L (non-FFV) engine. LOVE this truck. I’m in Maine so I’m in the rust belt as he says but I wholeheartedly agree that for any vehicle you own in the rust belt you just have to keep it washed during the winter (one that does bottom blast!) and keep paying attention to the underneath. I’m always looking for bolts and areas that are starting to rust and spraying them with Kroil or WD-40 or 4 in 1 oil. I definitely concur with him as well on regularly using 4WD just to keep that system loose and also maintaining your calipers to prevent from having to constantly replace the whole caliper. He also didn’t mention anything about the parking brake pivot assembly which is on the drivers side about under the rear door (Ext cab models like mine). Mine was rusted solid and replacing it wasn’t fun but the new one got a good dose of anti-seize on it and the bolts that hold it to the frame which also sucked removing without breaking them because if they do you might want to find a nice bridge to jump off of 🙂. PS: I really appreciate this guy’s honesty! It helps a lot to get an honest opinion from an actual Toyota technician that has a lot of experience like him. 👍🏻

Get your trucks undercoated by NH OIL. It'll never rust underneath. You don't even have to wash it in the winter. Actually not supposed to bottom blast it because it'll blast the oil off.

[@SkylarRace]

Maine has got to be one of the hardest states on vehicle wear the state uses 500,000 tons of sodium chloride on roads each winter. That works out to almost 800 pounds of road salt per person! I know guys who bought new Chevy trucks in Maine and within a few short years they already had massive body and frame rust that would normally take decades in other areas. Granted they didn't wash during the winter or apply lubricants but have since learned this is critical in New England.

What a great video! Thanks! The only thing I'd take issue with is component repair on the transfer case. There's no reason at all to remove and split the case for $2500 just because a tiny motor in the actuator rusted out. I'm not a mechanic but I very thoroughly studied the actuators and replaced both rusted motors by simply opening the actuators. All Aisin needs to do is provide timing position for the gear inside. Thats all.

I love my 2012 Tundra. Two issues I would like to add. The next Tundra I buy, if it has a plastic bed liner, I’ll be removing it and go with a spray on bed liner. Rust on the back side of the wheel wells inside the bed on the floor. The 2nd issue was oil in the spark plug cylinders. Two locations, one on each side of the engine.

I have had Toyota pickups and SUVs since 1987. I bought my first Tundra in 2012. The Limited. Great truck except the tiny gas tank for a truck that got 15 mpg. I had heard rumors about a significant Tundra "upgrade" in 2020 or 2021 (turns out it was 2022), which I wanted to avoid. So I bought a 2019 Limited new. Same great truck but with a larger tank. Love it! I have driven GMCs, Fords, and Dodge Ram HDs for work off road on fires and as a forester. Nothing beats the reliability and comfort of a Tundra.I have always been so happy to jump in my own truck when i got off duty!

[@TheNickLavender]

I have a 2014 Tundra SR5 5.7 and love it! I currently have 140k miles on it with 0 problems at all. Now, I do have some complaints. 1. Changing the headlight bulb is a pain when comparing it to how easy it is on another truck we own (2003 Silverado). 2. Oil filter housing is plastic... so I changed it out with one that was Aluminum from Toyota (Toyota 15620-31060 Oil Filter Cap) and can be found on Amazon. I just like knowing its better protection than the plastic one. 3. Brush guard under the truck... I quit trying to hook that thing back up after an oil change. It was an absolute pain in the neck and I don't have plans to off-road so I didn't need that on there anyway. It was probably on there in the first place to protect the plastic oil filter housing but since I upgraded to aluminum, I have no need for it. 4. The seat comfort. I have the cloth seat. I'm about 6'3 just north of 300lb and I have a longer torso (about 29inch leg in pants size). That seat gets pretty uncomfortable for me and I feel fatigue in my knees and lower back about 1.5 hours into a drive. You really get to know your truck/vehicle on long drives and several 8 hour drives to Alabama opened my eyes to what my truck was like lol. Because of my longer torso, I have that seat all the way down and I think that causes the issue with my knees being at an odd position. If I raise the seat, then I end up with my head in the ceiling. That being said, I drive every other weekend to Indiana (about 3.5 - 4 hours) and I can make that with no issues. I just end up readjusting myself in the seat occasionally. 5. Durability of the Synthetic steering wheel (non leather/non wood). I drive a lot with my left arm on the window arm rest or window sill. My steering wheel really began to wear down on that side at about the 90k mile mark. It got so bad that the outer synthetic covering started to shred. I bought a leather cover that had red stitching on it and I stitched this onto my steering wheel. If you want to really make an upgrade in your truck, and you don't have the Limited or 1794 and want leather, buy a leather cover to stitch on. It made a HUGE difference for me. You actually enjoy driving the truck more, it looks nice with the red stitching and you don't have to look at that tacky synthetic steering wheel. I bought my kit off of Ebay. Anyway, the truck has been mechanically sound with no issues and Honestly, I don't think I will want to get the new twin turbo v6 in the next gen Tundra. I would think more moving parts = less reliability. I'll probably upgrade to a 2021 at some point with the 5.7 and hang onto that one for as long as I can!

I have an '07 5.7L with 245000 on it. Tow an airstream 25' (7,000lbs) across the US every year. My driver side cam chain tensioner would not tension causing the chain to slap the timing cover and make a terrible noise. It took some time and patience, but I replaced the actuator for $85 and no problems for 40k so far. My transfer case actuator motor vent tube came loose and water rusted the motor. I opened the case, freed up the stuck motor, lubed it, and reassembled it. No issues in 80k. It can be done, and the Tundra Forums have good posts (including mine) on how to do it. But I saved $5-7k over having the t-case removed and cracked open. My starter failed at 220k and my driver front catalytic converter broke apart. I cut it out, welded a new one in and viola!

While driving along without warning, the truck shut off, dash lights on. I tried to start it, would not start. Waited 5 minutes, it started enough for me to get it off the road. Truck would not start. I am lucky enough to know a Toyota Technician. He let me borrow his "test" fuel pump control module that is located on the inside of the frame just above the left rear shock. I unplugged the wiring harness, plugged the other one in and it started right up. I went to the dealer and purchased a new one for around $300.00 and installed it in the parking lot and gave my friend the loaner module. All is well now but its good to know about this as some small repair shops could mistake it for a bad fuel pump.

To prevent rust on frame on underside of the body (as recalled on Gen1 tundra), I apply boiled linseed oil (from Home Depot) with a cheapest paint brush twice a year. Not a proven scientific method, but it seems to work. The frame and all suspension parts are rust free except for areas I can't reach. I also had to replace coolant bypass lines (part # (16206-0S030 and 16268-0S050) because both lines prematurely rusted out and coolant leaked out of them. I think Toyota used cheap metal for these lines. The latter part# is challenging to replace because the ac compressor had to come out first. Otherwise, I also agree that front brakes could improve and serpentine belt squeaks with due to a bad tensioner. Minor problems. Overall a great truck.

Maybe try using a garden sprayer with a wand, after it cools a tad, and spray at a fine mist and follow up with brushing in or simply leaving what you can't get to? lol
