Why don’t automakers include a lifetime warranty with their lifetime fluids?
-
Anyone who purchases any of these trucks has to be ready for consequences! And people still buy them at these ridiculous prices! Thanks for the video

I have a 2023 Tundra SR5 4x4 Crew MAX. In the 12 months of ownership, I have had absolutely no issues. What really floors me is all the hysteria over the Toyota issues, but people shrug off the 30 years of issues, or longer with GM/Chev, Dodge/Ram, and Ford. I am 60, and purchased my first new truck in 1984, and have owned the Big 3 North American brands until last year. I wanted a change and I am not the least bit disappointed.

Nissan says thank you Toyota…

Great video. Finally someone speaking the truth on these videos. I keep seeing these videos with clickbait to get views but yours keep it real.
-
With decades of quality control, testing and forensic failure engineering analysis experience, well stated Tim!
-
Tim, thanks for the unbiased information. It seems that video producers are more interested in click-bait content than facts. Thanks again for being the voice of reason, haters are gonna' hate.

The Tacoma TRD Pro could be the best truck in the world...if not for its nearly $70K price tag...BEFORE dealer markup. $10-12K more than a Ranger Raptor is insanity.
-
I feel like we just talked about some of these issues yesterday
-
Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing yourvthoughtsvand the data you found.
-
Similar things were said early on about Tundra engines, just a few here and there. 2 years later we have a recall. Will have to wait and see.
-
Thanks for posting this.

Actually, the rust issue was more on the C channel frames. The real issues is that they would rivet doublers inside the C channel and water would sit between the doubler and frame and accelerate corrosion. The later years of the Tacoma had a bead of sealant on the top edge of the doubler to help keep water from getting in between the two where the earlier ones did not.

Good information Tim. I like the high strengh steel explanation. 👍 As for the sky is falling effect, welcome to the internet and social media..haha. Its good on you to tell people to stay calm. ( And support you arguments )We all need a calming presence these days. Im sure you could get more clicks doing the opposite. Keep the factual info coming. 👍

Look back at the 2000 model year 4.7 tundra transmission issues. I own one that had a transmission replaced at the dealer. Aisin transmission with a thrust bearing issue. The replacement transmission has successfully gone almost 300k miles.
-
great perspective. so fresh compared to the latest tacoma trashing trend prevailing on the web as of late. gonna go check one out today.

There’s an advertisement for Nissan Frontier under this video 😆

My brother is a transmission specialist. When I found out my Tundra didn’t have a trany cooler l was upset. The sticker said it did. My brother told me not to worry that just what you said the new trany fluids are designed for higher temps. Just change it more often is your using it doing a lot of towing. I live where summers are regularly 110 and I tow. So I change it every 30k. No issues.
-
That’s it Tim, I’m gonna have to talk to your mom!!
-
Tim, on the topic of the transmission cooler, it isn't necessarily the worry that the temp is going to ruin the fluid or it's lubrication properties, it is the concern that the increased persistent heat the transmissions parts (gears, seals, solenoids, etc) are going to be bathed in over years will reduce the life of them and the long term reliability that these transmissions have been known for.
