    Why don’t automakers include a lifetime warranty with their lifetime fluids?
  • @BabakPA
    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
  • @williamsmiley16
    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.

    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.
  • I feel like we just talked about some of these issues yesterday
  • @icare7151
    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.
  • @hellkitty1014
    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.
  • @Freynightwalker
    Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing yourvthoughtsvand the data you found.

    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.
  • 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. 👍
  • @jjpac2011
    great perspective. so fresh compared to the latest tacoma trashing trend prevailing on the web as of late. gonna go check one out today.
  • @chrisdemas8246
    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, Tim- that was really informative. It’s always funny how people assume that OEM engineers have no idea what they’re doing.
  • @Gadget0343
    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.

    Noticed when i was looking to buy a 2024 GMC canyon AT4X just like you said both the newer 2023 and 2024 had reports of transmissions failing within 1000 miles or lower, while others had no issues. Bad parts def can happen.
