[@mattpike7268]

​@@bldontmatter5319completely wrong. Abs is far better than no abs every time. It's the difference between hitting that kid running in the road vs missing them. On a dry road, you can stop 50 feet shorter from 40mph easily. No reason to ever talk down abs. It's saved more lives than even seat belts.

The 5.7L engine in the 2007 that I paid $5k for in '17 when it had 270,000 miles blew a head gasket 7 years and 46,000 miles later when it had 316,000 miles early in '24. It was determined that previous owners failed to flush the cooling system often enough, and it was also discovered that they ran the engine while it was low on oil... my solution was to replace the old engine with a low mileage used 5.7L that I refreshed with new head gaskets, timing components, FIPG, valve cover gaskets, seals, plugs, starter, alternator and a completely new cooling system. My rust free regular cab short bed SR5 Tundra is ready to go another 300,000 miles.

I had a 2010 with 55k a few years ago. It had the secondary air pump failure at 54k, and toyota fixed it under warranty. It got totaled a month later. I held out for the new Tundras...bought a used 4runner with the 4.7 with 190k on it. I needed it for towing my camper and boat. When the new Tundras finally came out, I was seriously disappointed in both the price and the MPG of the new Tundras. Started looking at the baby Duramax. I wanted MPG for towing that camper when I retired. Well, I retired this year and no way I wanted the huge cost of a new truck. So I found a like new 2016 Tundra with 55k miles on it. $30k. I can spend all that savings on the gas it needs. I love it. Keeping the 4runner too, it is pretty flawless.

[@yz250brett]

Good choice. I will likely do the same in a year, which will make it my third Tundra.

Well at least I got you to make a video on the 2nd gen Tundra LOL! I commented on the My Colorado got bricked video. I was a little harsh to say the least. That was out of pure frustration due to all the different truck brands I have owned over the years and how disappointed I have been with all the issues I have had. Thanks for the great video Andre, you guys always do a great job hitting on the high and low points of the trucks you review. I really like all the big three trucks and have owned them over my 40 years of driving my favorite was GMC but that all changed years ago when they traded reliability for bells and whistle's. So when I retired last year I found a 2021 Tundra 1794 trd off road. Its looks and dives like an old Lexus 460. Its sad I had to resort to a 15 year old platform to get some reliability. You can't go wrong with a well maintained 2nd gen Tundra. Yes the mpg's are not the best but at least you won't be getting jammed at a dealership with reliability issue and being told thats just the way it is live with it. Let me count the ways. 1) 10 speed transmission shudder 2) Cam phaser rattle 3) Lifter failure due to AFM 4) cam shaft, lifter wear hemi tick. I know the Tundra will get me home and rides good on the hwy thats all we need for now. Tundra's will be extremely sought after in the next few years when all these issues start popping up on these over engineered trucks ie turbos, extra cooling lines over stressed smaller displacement engine's. Thanks for the great video.

[@ramaswamynarayanaswamy4806]

Wish I can get a good 5.7 3U- FE by 2030 when I (hopefully) will be able to afford one... As for the turbo ones, the reliability will improve with time. The government does not want reliability unfortunately.

[@MidnightMiata]

I got a 2012 Crewmax about 2 years ago with 150k on it. It's about to crest the 200k mark soon, and it has been bulletproof. Of course a Carfax with regular oil changes helped, but the interior, exterior, and drive line feel damn near brand new. Plus I've towed my Miata in a 20ft enclosed trailer multiple times without issue. You really can't go wrong with this truck. Unless you find one that's gone 20k miles in between oil changes of course

My daily driver is a truck that my dad bought at a flea market. I can’t remember for sure if he paid $3,000 or $4,000 for it, but it’s a 2000 Tundra Limited 4wd. He said he pulled the cash out of his pocket and paid the individual. A few minutes later he turned the key in the ignition and realized the truck had almost 400k miles on it. Well, that was around 2009-10 timeframe. My dad passed in 2020 and I kept the Tundra. Today this truck has over 584,000 miles on it. He did have to get another engine out in a few years after he bought it, but aside from that, new brakes, drums and rotors, an alternator, water pump and timing belt, this truck has been a great vehicle for me to drive back and forward to work. I would love to upgrade to at least a 2nd Gen Tundra a t some point but, this one will continue to do for now.

[@LV4TD101]

A rule of thumb is you usually want to avoid the 07 and 08 year trucks. They are still reliable as hell but compared to the other years had more issues. And as far as the 4.7 vs 5.7 reliability, they use the same engine block just slightly different bore and stork specs. In fact I believe two 4.7s have made it to a million miles now and just recently a 5.7 did as well.

[@corywilson3549]

4.7 was an iron block and the 5.7 is an aluminum block. I believe you are thinking of the 5.7 and the newer 4.6.

The early second Gen Tundra had issues with secondary air pump failure that was common, and Toyota decided to have a side extended warranty for the air pump. Toyota fixed the issue down the line, and the complaint went down. There were a few, and I mean, a few oil pump failures, and the check engine light would also fail to notify the owner, but it was a few very few that had such issues. The 2007-2009 had a body frame rust lawsuit, and those involved in the lawsuit had their body frame replaced free. That was a long, long, long time ago. When the Toyota went into flex fuel systems, the computer failed to tell the difference between what type of fuel was being used and the check engine light would come on. Toyota eventually also got that fix too. Year 2020 and up Toyota decided to remove the transmission coolent from the tundra that spark controversy about it. Many people would buy a transmission coolent and install it themselves. 2014-2015 had suspension and alignment issues caused by the manufacturer poor quality control after the Tundra refresh. So far, that's all that I know of. Feel free to add on.

[@MsAce0424]

I had 2 different tacomas but traded the last one for a rav4 due to mpg. I've been heavily considering a older tundra to buy in cash. Have the rav4 for daily. Tundra for truck stuff.

It's so smooth that when I first started daily driving it, I'd actually have to look down at the tachometer to make sure it was still running when idling at a red light.

[@duggydo]

The double cab is an ideal sized truck in my opinion. I've got a 2018 4x4 double cab. It's not too long, but you get a decent length bed, room for stuff in the back seat, or 2nd row seating which isn't too bad for hauling people if you need to.

[@keon8625]

Yup, unfortunately in the new gen trucks the double cab is much tighter!

[@duggydo]

@@keon8625 They ruined the Tundra with this new design. The rear seat on the double cab is utterly horrible. There's a long list of things that are worse in the new Tundra.

[@keon8625]

@@duggydo There are certainly a few downgrades, but after having one, I don't think that they ruined it at all. The Pro rides like an S-class but still did really well on high-speed washout gravel roads, and that rear locker, which is new, saved my ass from getting stuck! All they need is a Raptor R competitor with a forced induction V8 and it'll be the perfect truck.

Absolutely, best pre covid purchase. 5.7 crew cab, love it.

Our 2008 with the base radio still has BT for phone and music👍

Love Toyota trucks. I own a 2001 Tacoma with over 200k miles still runs like a clock. If I ever replace it I would definitely look for a Tundra.

[@scottyellis3442]

My buddy has the generation tundra before this one "2005" with the 4.7 & at over 400,000 miles it still run like new. I be willing to bet the new tundra's 3.5 V6 will never last like this one already has.

My 2010 with 234,000 miles original engine, original transmission and I’ve only put in brakes shocks change of oil running like a dream

I have a 2011 Tundra 4.6 V8 and it’s butter! The only issues I’ve had is that I replaced a compressor and the air valve… great workhorse and daily driver! They just DRINK GAS!!! Whew!😢

[@WEANDK]

It's butter??

[@nextstopdeliverysc]

We run our business with a salvage title 2007 tundra that we bought 3 years ago for $12,000. we took it from 150,000 to over 200,000 miles ! The only maintenance was brakes tires and oil.

[@adamduhon3084]

Bought my 2011 double cab in November 2020 with 75,000 miles for $17000 right before prices went crazy.

[@27Zangle]

That is a GREAT deal!

[@theonlyone83]

I had the same issue with my tundra 4x4. I had an issue with the shift actuator. I replaced the transfer case and it fixed the issue. I think it was an alignment issue with the shift actuator and transfer case.

Have had a 2011 for 13 years 5.7 just did the water pump at 115 k , best truck I've owned!

This video feels like when your teacher assigns you to do an assignment and you give it the old college try. Still love the Tundra though. Second generation ages well in the west.

[@Tyler-i4w]

great video. but their was 4 different engine configurations. 4.7 V8, 4.0 V6, 4.6 V8, and last but not least the biggest 5.7 V8.

[@BFord-ho3pq]

Confusing as to what exactly is a 2nd gen Tundra in this video. Through 2013 or through 2021?

[@jimcostantino6244]

Those are great trucks.. F150 owner that's jealous of the rear window being able to go down. I always loved that option Thanks for the review

[@AzPauly]

So all the dirt and leaves and exhaust get sucked into the cab...not especially useful except passthru to a camper shell.. in my experience..

[@9148096]

Traded a 2018 f150 limited this year for a 2016 tundra 1794 with only 14,000 miles. Best truck I’ve ever owned. I’ll never go back to ford

[@ML-lg4ky]

I absolutely love these segments! Keep them coming.

The cab and chassis are the same until the end...minus the trans cooler. When my box needs replacing I'm gonna "upgrade" the front and rear bodywork to a 2017 or so😎

[@johnconcentrius]

Just purchased a 2015 Limited Crewmax 4x4 with 109k miles and it feels almost new!

[@smiththers2]

i bought my 2013 tundra just over a year ago and after working on cars and trucks over the last 20 years, the tundra NEVER feels as worn out and old as A LOT of the same year vehicles made by other manufactures. not even nissan's titan can still feel as good with age or miles taken into account. its extremely rare to see any of the competitors with miles over 200k on stock engine and transmission... gm has lifter issues or transmission issues. ford has their own strange problems with cam phasers, and i really dont know much about the ram trucks other than electrical issues. tundra will not let you down if you keep up with MAINTENANCE. you'll find them with over 300k miles, its not that rare. biggest thing people complain about is sometimes lack of creature comforts, but in my honest opinion, its the high end features and being too complicated that take away from what a truck really is... a good running tundra is all you need.

[@googlespynetwork]

I'm looking at a 2014. Thanks for your comment. My 02 grand Cherokee has been a nightmare the last two years. I want something reliable.

[@HeathenEmpire6669]

So at the end talking about the 4wd selector... They say on the 4runner groups to engage and disengage twice a month as those knobs get fucky otherwise. Something about dirt/dust getting in between the electronics

I had a 2012 5.7 4x4 8 ft bed. I used it in the oilfield. I'd 100% do it all over again.

[@Socal24]

Double cab vs crewmax? Thinking about getting a tundra not sure if the 5.5’ bed is too small?

[@joelbennett4467]

Lookout for people, especially dealers, running ads saying it is a crew max and it's actually a double cab. Crew max has full size door handles front and back!

[@raghavbhatnagar2329]

Crewmax is so comfy . The back seat is like a couch

[@pvalentinep12]

There was a 5.7 that went a million miles down in Houma as well, greg lebanc serviced that one too

[@ismaela.6973]

The crazy part about used Toyota trucks. the insane mileage and prices. recently I saw a 2010 Tundra with 200k miles, and they wanted 20k. that is stupidly insane.

[@bldontmatter5319]

Toyota bros are getting as delusional as old Chevy bros who pay 60k for a messed up square body. Embarrassing. It's literally a base work vehicle that makes 200-300 hp and that's it. These aren't worth over 5-6k at 150k miles. Doesn't matter what people say.

[@Queensizemusic]

You guys are nuts. You’re paying for reliability. You either want that or you don’t, but, if you do, then you’ll have to pay for it. That’s simple free market capitalism.

[@bldontmatter5319]

​@@QueensizemusicI bought reliability from a 7.3 IDI from Ford, from 1988. 500k miles, gonna ride it till I die. Paid 3k for it. Stop being silly buddy.

[@Queensizemusic]

@@bldontmatter5319 you’re an outlier. Toyotas are the most reliable trucks on earth.

[@bldontmatter5319]

​@@Queensizemusicwhat in the world? Pre-emissions Diesels are guaranteed 500k or more. Most Toyotas will indeed last 200k-400k but at that point it's over. I have absolutely no idea how you Toyota bros have gotten this far out of reality

[@tundramanq]

Bought my 2008 Tundra 5.7 SR5 DBL White ( no clear coat ) to miss the first year bugs the 2007s had.. Still maintained and going strong at 63K miles with people asking if it's for sale. I tell-em it's not broke in yet. I thought it looked a bit garish then but now it's styling is comparatively conservative.

I have a 2012 crewmax platinum tundra with 230k on it still going strong!

[@JarodAlbrecht]

Still lovingly beating the crap out of my 2013 4.6L with the original rock warrior package @ 190k miles. Had a pretty serious parking break issue that failed inspection 1 time, otherwise it's clean as a whistle and I'm looking forward to a day where I feel like it actually needs some kind of upgrade. I think the rubber bushings on the suspension are going to dry-rot from old age before any major components actually fail.

yes, beat up are cheap from $10K to $15K but those in good condition are still expensive as Tundra retains value very good
