I don’t mind a normal car wash. Dealers run my vehicle through it all the time and I never had any damage I could find. I’m the guy with a clean towel to finish drying off my vehicles when they come out of the dealers wash tunnel.

Blue oval screen of death anyone?

Yes, I tend to agree with you, however, Toyota needs to be transparent about when and what they fixed, otherwise many will hold back due to lack of confidence in the tundra.

Good advice for sure. Note that my 3rd vehicle is a 22 F350 Tremor with the 7.3 gasser, so definitely not afraid of full+ size, I just want to avoid all the pandemic design, manufacturing, and other issues across the full size spectrum. Always change oil by 1k, then 5k, and every 5k afterwards...

I woundn’t say inexplicable, it was a forced move by the US govt. All manufacturers went this direction, and many cheated emissions in one way or another. It should be apparent that it’s incredibly difficult to design and manufacture a fuel efficient gasoline engine that makes V8 power and is...

Everyone I know with a dodge ram, whether 1500 or 2500 had serious problems with them. I steer clear. That said, since 2021, they’ve all gotten worse. Ford’s new F150 still has the same issues in 26 as it did when it launched in 21. I’d love a new F150 with the 5-OH, but just don’t trust the...

The ongoing question remains, is any 22+ Tundra safe? Until we get a new engine or a “fixed on xx/xx/xx” with real details on what and how they fixed, you can’t trust the new tundra or Toyota.

I saw a GMC Sierra in a desert tan yesterday at the Costco that caught my attention. I’ve seen it in other colors but that tan looked amazing.

Noted and appreciate the heads up. Before I buy a 4th Tacoma, I’ll take a look at the GMC. ;)

I see both as one and the same, GMC/Chevy. I completely agree with you that MSRP is overpriced, but actual selling prices are much lower because most people wont pay msrp. For example, I bought my 55,200 spec Tacoma for 48000. It’s worth 48k to me for the TRD off road premium long bed with...

I drove everything else and bought the taco. Ranger is bland, Colorado trail boss is equipped like the trail minion, the frontier seemed decent but the seating position was poor and didn’t have an adjustable steering wheel. True story, I’ve actually bought several and each time i reevaluated and...

Price price price to value ratio. All those are optimistally priced and while cool, don’t really offer a good value. Note it’s the Tacoma hybrid, which is incredibly overpriced. I got 5-7200 off msrp last year on 24 tacomas. Deals are out there to be had.

I owned 2 new gen tundras. A Feb 22 build and an April 23 build. When the engine issues news got out, so did I. I’d love another tundra, but won’t go back for obvious reasons until there’s a definitive demarcation between the failed/failing/will soon fail engines and some new version or new...

I don’t know of any issue with the Tacoma’s engine at scale. We’re certainly happy with the 2 2024 Tacoma’s in my family.

Yes, and the takeaway is …..new V8. If that doesn’t happen the tundra will languish. I also want one in my Tacoma and LandCruiser because…..

Internet conjecture, nobody who really knows anything is talking. I saw the Tundras.com website go hundreds to thousands(?) of posts deep on this and still, this recall was a surprise. Everyone thought toyota had addressed it, whether they believed the “cleaning debris” excuse or not. Now we...

Dealers are at least somewhat complicit, but I doubt they have any choice.

V35-FTS(Fails to Start)….

So I read Toyota just announced another recall on 22+ Tundra’s, and now the new Lexus GX’s, for their less than stellar twin turbo v6’s imploding. This time extending their prior recall through the 23 and and into the 24 model year. Yikes! No remedy announced at this time. The credibility of...

A midsized version of an unreliable pickup? I’ll pass. Perfectly happy with my Tacoma and it's normal, 6’ long bed.
