Toyota Tundra Owners

How old? If your dealer is being tough call Toyota care direct..

2017. I went straight to Toyota on it.

I just located a 2018 with 73k...for $34k. Looks like a solid truck.

What model? TRD?
The 18’ sr5 I looked at had 97kmiles and they wanted a little over $28k

TRD with the 5.7 Dealer it's at is typically on the high side of things, but looks like a solid truck.
Surprisingly it says it's got a CD player!

There's a reason you almost never see stock Toyotas.
The suspension is notoriously weak.
I would be very suspicious of the frame on those cars, too.
Not too long ago, there were some hilarious videos showing how flexy the Toyota frames are.
Did they ever box them?

I think I read the latest gen is a boxed frame, previous ones no. Latest gen didn't get much better payload numbers either. My gen is a "triple tech" frame lol. I'm sure you know but suspension upgrades don't actually increase payload. Tundras, built like a 3/4 ton in every way but payload capacity. But mine does pretty well at or a little over. I'd prefer payload to spare though, but that's just me!

Currently own a 2008 5.7 with 156k on it and been pretty reliable, have had to replace some wear parts and the ac compressor, but nothing major, plan on driving it to 225k or so then pass it down. Just picked up a mint 2016 SR5 with 18k miles for dirt cheap. Never going to get rid of that truck.

2nd generation frames much more rigid than 1st. Not fully boxed, but plenty stout.
I had a '99 tacoma in my younger/dumber days.
Frame was rubber on that thing. I put that little truck through hell though and it never let me down.
It flexed so bad the bed rubbed the cab on many occasions...they would bend but not break...until they rusted through if you didn't get ahead of it.
1st gen tundra was pretty flexible too. I've no complaints with the 2nd gen though.

This stuff is good, 2 cans will do the whole underside

Picking up a 2017 TRD crewmax w/ 65k tomorrow.Any of you guys have trouble with 4 Lo? I took it for a good 45 minute test drive today making sure to hit the red lights some highways and found a trailer park with speed bumps and lots of potholes to check for any noises. Found a stone parking lot to test out the 4wd. It didn’t want to go into 4 low at first and kept beeping/flashing. It finally went in and I didn’t have any issues after that. Dealer said the actuators are known to intermittently stick and is a matter of using it frequently to keep it freed up? Does this make sense to any of you tundra owners?

Well. There is this. Just sayin’ chevy’s are built like an amphibian assault vehicle. You Toyota boys put that in your pipe and smoke it.

My buddy says all his Tundras have done that the first time he puts it in 4 low after he has not shifted to 4-low in awhile. I have a ‘21 and found that to be true and when I 1st did it at the dealer it took a minute but have not had a problem since. Curious if anyone else has experienced it as well.
