I'm an ASE master tech for Toyota. I've been with Toyota for just under 5 years. I can't tell you the volume of recalls we've had on the '22 and up Tundra.

I went with the '21 and have not regretted it for a second, watching the endless MAJOR problems with the new engine and transmission. We've had several in bays simultaneously for complete engine breakdowns and repairs. When I get in the new generation I do love the interior. But then I have peace of mind knowing I've seen countless Tundras with the 5.7L V8 pass 300K and still running flawlessly.

@9ZERO6 Quality engineering and manufacturing probably does collect data from the after sales service and maintenance records, but identifying systemic deficiencies in service records alone does not help with the continual improvement process loop. Engineering needs to be more involved with not just the process planning with their newest designs, but the process planning of rework efficiency in the field for long term sustainability, other wise consumers will eventually not want to pay for complex sustainability and dealerships will struggle more to make profits for service with enough money to keep high Quality mechanics, not to mention empowering employees at every level is critical to the overall quality system process. Collecting all data for real continual improvement and not just collecting numbers data is essential.👌

@@desertblade1874its not just about how much fuel is burnt per mile (though for u and me, thats undoubtly the most important part). Its also about whats being exhaled from the tailpipes. CO2 and NOx. Especially godamn NOx. We dont think about it now, but if the number of cars otr today had the same NOx standards as it was back even in the 90s… well all theres gonna be alot more people with lung problems. CO2 is an environmental problem, yes, but we really cant comprehend on its effects. NOx on the otherhand, u WILL comprehend on its effects very very quickly. Both are acidic when in water, but NOx is alot more reactive to our meatbags, especially our very moist lungs. N toyota isnt the only one being hassled by these emissions standards. Every manufacturer must comply. Its the reason why dieselgate happened: coz VW lied about how much NOx was being released from their diesel cars.

Toyota have joined the turbo game later compared to other companies for regular vehicles. But, they had to do turbos eventually. It’s from these current turbos that they learn and improve.

My prized possession is my grandfathers 1979 Toyota 2wd pickup. When he died in 2005 I took over the maintenance etc. It's still all original, with exception of regular maintenance things like alternator, water pump, belts etc. The 20R motor, has a carburetor 😅, still fires up every /every other weekend when I drive it. No power steering, no A/C, no anything. It's an antique but it's still fun for a Sunday drive. The odometer is only a 5 digit. It's rolled over 4 times, and stopped functioning about 10 years ago. Probably almost half a million miles on the thing. They really don't build vehicles like this anymore

I purchased a brand new 07 Tundra SR5 4 x4. Not, for the gas mileage (gets 18 mpg) but, the reliability. It has 304k run great. I replaced a starter, a front wheel bearing and a valve cover gasket. That's why I bought it.
