And Taylor Swift sells a lot of albums. Is her music actually good?
Ok, so more than they have in almost 20 years. Regardless, that motor has a pretty decent track record with Lexus and land cruisers in the Middle East have the same motor and it’s viewed as highly reliable.
Go on the tundra forums and read up…..the 1 percent is pure bs.
I’ve been active on those forums as well. I’d like to know why you think the 1% is just made up? I mean there’s multiple points of data collection if someone needs a new motor or rebuild. I have a pretty good relationship with my local dealership and the staff, they’ve barely seen the issue.

I still think it’s the case where social media platforms leave us mostly hearing from people who have issues. I know several 3rd gen owners that have been problem free. I know a gentleman who got his recall done after he put 150k problem free miles on his truck.
And every person I’ve seen on the interwebs who has this issue, has been taken care of by Toyota and receives a new motor or a rebuild. I understand it’s a big pain, but I also understand this is a fairly new phenomena from Toyota, and that contributes to people’s perspective as well.
Fords still have tranny issues with the 10r80, but they had em with the 6r80 too. They had issues with turbos, issues with cam phasers up until recently, and they were blowing main bearings at one point too.
Ram hemis have had lifter failures, exhaust manifold cracks, overheating and oil consumption issues. Their old 6 speed transmission was terrible, but the newer 8 speeds are great. Their new TT hurricane is actually looking pretty good, maybe one of the better v6 TT motors we’ve seen in a pick up. But go to the ram pages and everyone’s having issues with electronics and it gets a guy feeling like they all have those issues.
I get it man. No one’s really used to Toyotas having issues, and I’m not saying they’re perfect. But I think it gets blown out of proportion a little. With all the tech and complexity in trucks these days, increased problems just come with the territory. None of them will be as reliable overall as their naturally aspirated, less technologically endowed predecessors were. But
When the new recall was issued in Nov for the updated engine failures on the remaining 2023 and now first qrt 2024, Toyota mother ship doesn’t have the remedy avaiable.
Expect plenty of guys have posted they spun a main and the secondary power didn’t work, still leaving them without power. Rumor has it from all the nhtsa reports and law suits Toyotas is gunna include all hybrids in the upcoming recall with the April press release. I sure hope they do for the owners sake, time will tell.
Do what we did. I have my taco, wife has a gx550, and we bought a van haha. For 3 kiddos, plus us, and then the grand parents it’s awesome! On the plus side no car seats in the gx and I throw em in the truck when they wanna come hunting or fishing with me, win win for everyone!
