Should You Wait For a 2025 Toyota Tundra?

Just acquired a 24 Titan for a good discount and 0 percent interest loan...love the truck and the Nissan dealer is great.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Massive congrats and thank you so much for confirming that good deals are out there for titans

[@Monacheman-4x4]

I just purchased a new Nissan Titan with a discount equivalent to what you stated for Tundra and with a zero percent loan. Dealer has been fine thus far and I like the way it drives and the way it looks. It is also unique and the parts folks have been good. Time will tell but I like that V8 and 9 speed transmission. I have had many Toyotas and have a GX460 along with my 2004 Tacoma Reg Cab 4x4 auto just turning 108k miles. But I wanted to try a Nissan to see how well they hold up. Again, time will tell.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Thank you so much for sharing this and massive congrats on your latest purchase. Very happy to hear you took advantage of a great deal for a Titan at 0% interest enjoy my friend!

[@Monacheman-4x4]

@@MeynMotorGroup Thank you. I really wanted to like the Tundra, but I am still concerned about the V6 and after talking to a service rep, he mentioned how expensive the 30k service was for this engine because their was some labor involved to access certain components. Another service writer told me to wait for another couple of years. At 71, I wanted to enjoy something a bit simpler mechanically now that can still tow a smaller trailer without doing it with my GX.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@Monacheman-4x4 yes sir it’s truly sad what modern vehicle have become a disposable phone or laptop is one thing but a whole car? That’s not right I’m glad you took advantage of the forgotten Titan while it was still around and I’m happy you have a great use case for it. Enjoy your amazing vehicles!

[@1985Jesg]

I have a 2008 tundra 5.7L. 208k miles never any issues. No leaks no codes. Replaced the starter twice and a few batteries on those 208k miles. I just come back from a vacation, hauled my trailer no issues. I’m scared to buy a new truck for 70k and have issues.

[@Enforcer100]

I have 2019 tundra no issues. Thinking about a new truck but every new truck has major problems, guess I keep what I got

[@MikeyD8632]

I think its beautiful and would buy one in a second. Toyota will make it right if it blows up. I love the redesign. I'm a sport sedan guy but love this truck

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea I mean it looks like for 2024 they sort of made it right according the NHTSA but I'm more willing to trust a Toyota service center over the Domestic brands to get things right for sure.

[@MikeyD8632]

@@MeynMotorGroup it's unfortunately true. My dad retired from Ford. We were loyal to the brand for a few decades. Unfortunately they are gutting the company and exponentially getting worse. I bought a 2016 lexus is 300 and now in 24 bought another. Reliability is on the top of my list. I've had cadillacs that burned oil at 40k and completely fell apart by 100k. My 16 IS never burned a drop and couldn't have been a better car. Show quality to me and I will show my loyalty

@@joed4325 waiting around for something that’s never going to happen won’t benefit anything. I don’t think many people understand that these are multi billion and trillion dollar companies that are capable of making money out of thin air these corporations don’t care if you buy or not. They’re also in bed with the gov and make a substantial amount of money in government contracts they don’t care what you buy hence why they can increase price and lower quality.

[@Aaron-zc9cw]

I had a 19 Ram Big Horn that I traded for a 22 Tundra. I had bad experiences with warranty work with both but the Ram was a much better truck overall.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yes I do agree the RAM is a better truck by far when it comes to driving.

[@Uvsnine]

Good to know. I'm toyota's fan, and I want this Tundra or waiting for the 2025, but I'm between ram, f150, and Tundra. Honestly, the only reason that I worry about ram and f150 is reliability. I really love how's look Tundra outside but love more the Ram interiors. And I know everyone is saying Ram drive better! I'm planning to buy one pickup truck in 2025, but I'm not sure yet which one?

[@jeffamburgey7485]

Great information, Kevin. The recall for the Tundra and my LX was a bummer, I was peeved to be polite. With that said, I just finished a 1500-mile road trip. I'm not in the current recall, so if Toyota is telling the truth with the debris story, I may be ok. This 3.4 in my LX is really magnificent, and the interior to me, is just superb. If it's design or some other thing besides what they are stating to an agency with federal oversight......does not sound to me like Toyota, I trust them until evidence to the contrary is presented.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Really love that engine sir glad you're enjoying the LX 600 really a beautiful ride and you know Lexus will always take care of you

[@bobbyb.1743]

Appreciate your sharp and accurate analysis - thank you!! Would caveat it w/ the option of a ‘21 Tundra, low mileage, coming off a lease anywhere in the SW (non-rust states). N/a V8, 38 gal tank, solid, quality build that is reliable and proven. In my humble the best value, esp in the upper trims.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@bobbyb.1743 thank you for your kind words my friend! Clean used cars like that are cool I just noticed that many 2020-2021 Tundras are trading for $45k with

[@shameerkhan6118]

U want a smooth ride guys go platuim 1794 or capstone but if budget tight go for limited but sr5 to basic I went 1794 don't regret it at all

[@nkf_gh]

My guess is they haven’t added the 24 to the recall list because they still have to sell them lol.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

That would be illegal.

[@sammiemakki9339]

Owners had reported engine issues for the 24’ Tundra. I think Toyota didn’t want to recall the 24’ Model just yet. Just like they didn’t recall the hybrid engines yet because the 😢“you still have electric power loophole” although they’re also having engine failures. Who knows when the production line got fixed or getting fixed? But I really want a 25’ Tundra TRD. 😢 Should we wait until the facelifted/updated 26’ model yr?

[@MS-sk7kw]

Love the video, as well! Question for you. Would you buy a 2021 TRD pro or a new 2024 tundra (the one you spec’d out)? What if theyre both the same price? ~55k

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@MS-sk7kw Honestly I would never buy a used car unless it’s an exotic. The original MSRP of a used Tundra was less than $55k not paying that for a used vehicle with miles on it. No car lasts forever either the old tundra will just rot out and cause other issues like with suspension

[@MS-sk7kw]

@@MeynMotorGroup yeah thats where I am struggling with it as well. These TRD Pro values are insane. Thanks for your input!

[@jeffamburgey7485]

I don't think it's necessary to be throwing the cash down per say, but I've had some pretty effective buying experiences with a satchel of cash in hand, so its Kingly to me. I just borrow from myself. I always pay attention to the guy tucking a bank bag under his arm, and I'm not a young man.

[@lubimiepesni]

My last experience 2023 with Toyota dialer is worse than ever, brother. I hope I can buy Toyota online. I'm looking to buy a truck right now but do not want to deal with the dealership.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

That's why I share the broker info never have to play the dealer sherades ever again but you do have to pay a broker fee for that privilege. At least in my area, it's worth it.

[@6ftfox]

God bless My husband and I can’t seem to get a great deal on trd pro on a forerunner so we are leaning towards Mazda CX-70 premium plus 2025 but now watching this video we built up a sr5 tundra with the 11000 package we will see what’s cheaper to lease just wanted your opinion Thank you for all you do 🙏✝️

[@jinjitsu4350]

I would trust a Mazda over the tundra right now. However it all depends on what you need to use it for.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea I agree if you don't really need a truck I would say avoid it as it's very cumbersome to drive and fuel economy sucks. CX-70 is good and some discounts are available but if you can get a base Select to a Preferred Plus CX-90 and fold the seats down, you can save even more.

[@Kookaburra4509]

Nice video but did you ever address a tundra for 2025???

[@SM-og9pt]

Turbo hybrid 4 cylinder version of the Tundra would be a winner IMO. Most people don’t tow that’s why.

The tundra isn't that good. Drive west at sunset and you get blided by the hood shining light in your eyes. Then side window when it rains on the driver side wall of water and can't see out. Small window hard to see out the front

[@sophaman9193]

Thanks for sharing your video even the tundra have some issues with the engine but the tundra is still better than the small 3 company

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Agreed my friend

[@frankbrowning328]

American brands + Toyota and Honda are all going downhill in regard to being able to quickly diagnose and successfully repair vehicles. The dealerships are paying their people less as compared to years prior and they just aren't able to retain staff due to those lower wages (inflation has some to do with this as well) and less benefits. The other issue is the lack of work ethic in the younger staff available. You rarely see any hustle within the shops and many times it looks like the cast of the zombies in the walking dead with tech people holding their phones in front of their faces and wandering around aimlessly

[@albrustmeyer753]

If they bring the V8 Yes 🙌 V6 No 👎👎👎👎👎

[@Helpus2024-h6j]

Junk! Mine blew at 28,000. Debris in the block is a bunch of BS. There’s a major design flaw with this engine. By the way, there are several 2024 Tundras that have seized engines. Dream on.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

So did toyota replace your engine under warranty? That's the only question we need to have answered here.

[@Helpus2024-h6j]

@@MeynMotorGroup Yes, with a short block and it took six months. Toyota does not replace the engine, they provide a short block for the dealer to rebuild. When the engine was rebuilt the check engine light came on immediately. Fortunately, my Lemon Law buyback check came the same day. Only a fool would buy one.

Tundra is over priced junk right now. It’s all cheap plastic exterior, engine is a complete fail they still have not found a solution for the engine repair. 2024 not suffering from issues because Toyota is not transparent with their recalls they wait a year or 2 before the a knowledge any issue with their vehicles which give them enough time to make it someone else problem.

@@naddaf20 yea paying $70k was def an issue trucks are only worth buying when heavily discounted then you could have at least sold it and got out of it but oh well I hope the dealer makes it right for you soon

[@agustinreal4525]

From grill still to large

[@East17A]

I personally expected that. that what happens when Toyota engineer new system/Engine. over the next two to three years. they will find out the issue and then resolve it. this is common. unlike the American brand names. they will tell you it's a software update. and kick you out the door. by the way disrespect and rude attitude from the Dodge / Jeep / Chevy. and sometimes Ford as well are common. I heard from a lot of people these brand names dealers are nice to you until you give them your Money OH sorry ( your Debt ). after that you're a piece of S h ...t to them.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea every encounter I've had from the domestic 3 have been really slimy again, not saying good dealers don't exist I'm sure they are out there just not where I live. Ford sales is pretty awful to the point where there's not a single broker on the leasehackr forum that even represents Ford, their dealers think they represent cars hand made by the Cherubs in Heaven.

Well, the 5.7 isn’t junk, and you can find low mileage, clean, upper trim ‘21’s, coming off of lease, w/ that glorious V8 & 38 gal tank. Recently purchased a ‘21 Platinum, wind-chill Pearl, very solid Tundra for $47. A great value in my humble opinion. Paid cash😊

5.7 liter v8 had valve spring issues mid firing and few others in the early days from 2007. After Toyota addressing those thru kaizens we have the more refined engines in 2019 to 2021 model years. So saying the new engine junk is little premature..
