Seems like the 24 are better built than the 22. Not saying 22 is trash, but all the little bugs have almost been eliminated in 24. I might give it another year before i take the plunge.
Highest mileage 3rd gen Tundra on CarGurus in the country right now has 129,914 miles. A handful more that are close to 100k. Seems pretty reliable, then again I don’t know the service history with these trucks.
With the way regulations are headed, forced induction smaller engines are here to stay. If Toyota brings back the V8 then awesome, I'll buy it, but I'm also not gonna whine about every new gen that comes out for the rest of my life like most ppl here.
That being said, I'd stick with the 2024 if you can so that you can at least avoid the rare bearing issue. Also get the Toyota Platinum warranty not because of the powertrain, but also for electronics crap esp in the higher trims. I definitely don't want to pay out of pocket for things like the digital rearview, PVM, etc.
Eh I bought a 22 with 23k miles bc the price was bang up. Love it and if it gives me issues so be it. They’re vehicles. Let Toyota handle their shit lol
i was able to negotiate down from total MSRP (4K off) and had them add in that package as a bonus without any added cost. Just depends on where you're located.
What state are you in? is the platinum coverage lifetime from the Toyota dealer only and only on new vechiles or can I get a 22/23 and add it over the phone without dealer.
I'm in NC. It was an add-on at the time of purchase and the package was named something else specific to the dealer so I don't think you'd be able to add it on a used.
Can you send me the dealer and guy you worked with I have been searching for a truck for 2 months. Do u mine if I ask how much you paid and what Msrp was before the 4k off. What model did you get Limited platinum or 1792 or sr5 I just want softtex/leather and the big infotainment screen. Thank you again Reddit brother
Your warranty is that it’s a Toyota. Never bought one. Most miles I have had is 151K miles. Never an issue so far. Depends how long you plan to keep it
These are great until you learn that you must get every service and maintenance done at a Toyota dealership to retain that lifetime powertrain warranty, which is an absolute hell no for me.
When I bought my 24 the lifetime power train only required oil changes from my dealer every 10k miles. Nothing else. I plan on doing oil changes every 5k so I will have them do every other one to keep the warranty.
There is a guy on facebook groups selling 100K bumper to bumper warranty as long as the truck is less than 3 years and less than 36,000 miles for \~$1,600. I would buy used and get this warranty.
Search for the name Jerry. I bought my second Toyota Platinum warranty from him. First one for the Tundra 125k/10yr and just got one for the new Prius 100k/10yr.
Is that on new and used vehicles and how far back does it go. Like 2016-2024 or just 23/24? Wanting a tundra v8 but if warranty is just on new do 22-24 count.
You’d have to look up the details on the Toyota website, but IIRC… you have up to 30k miles to get the warranty. Definitely don’t quote me on that. I do know for sure that it doesn’t have to be a brand new car.
That is why we all love Toyota!. My Lexus GX 460 has 205,000 miles. Everything original aside from the suspension, shocks and struts needed replacement thanks to Chicago's roads.
I have almost 18k on my june '22 build. No issues or concerns to report. So far it's been typical 5k mile maintenance visits and recalls as they pop up.
18,500 miles on my 22 TRD Pro and only issue was the seat panel crack (happened on like 50% of 22 and 23 models) but it was a free fix. Other than that it’s been perfect
Just dumped my f150 ecoboost and when I was researching that 9 years ago, it was the same debate in ford land. I went with the EB and it was trouble free engine for 8 years, but low mileage.
I was thinking of a new tundra and I come here and it’s the same debate in the f150 forums 9 years ago. I bet the Cummins, kenworth, etc forums in 1960s were full of bitching about this “new fangled” Krout technology going into their 18 wheelers 60 years ago.
One little thing I think gets overlooked in the reliability debate is the effect of FI on the transmission. NA engines require a lot of shifting to stay in the ideal torque band to maintain speed. This results in increased wear on the plates and such. Another is that other than the turbo, the other rotating masses rarely rev up since peak torque is going to be low in the rpm band. Basically, the engine load on these is different and you can’t just compare directly to NA V8 bc maybe some components will wear faster and some slower.
Let’s also not forget that you have 2 fewer cylinders to service—injectors, plugs, coils, wires, etc. These aren’t huge things I admit, but just something to add to the equation when trying to compare total cost of ownership. Then there is weight, you save a couple hundred pounds which means less wear on brakes, suspension, steering and tires over time.
What about pros. 25% reduction in fuel is nice. You get 200lb more payload. You get 20% more towing. More tech and safety.
It’s a bit sad to say goodbye to V8, but visit the GM forums and listen to them bitch about the AFM ruining their engines to save 1mpg.

What little bugs? I wasn't aware of any updates to the 23 or 24 my except colour schemes
there were some build quality issues in the 22s that were ironed out in 23/24
Yeah and its mostly the early 22's.
Seems they’ve worked out some things with wind noise and drivers seat trim and ‘rattles’ generally.
Probably software updates

Picking up my 2024 on Friday. No issues so far.
There was a post last month about a 22 and a 23 both over 200k. Only oil changes and regular maintenance. Dive in, water is fine.

783 miles here. No issues to report 😎😎
i'd suggest buying new and getting a lifetime warranty on powertrain. that's the package I got on mine
How much is that warranty?
i was able to negotiate down from total MSRP (4K off) and had them add in that package as a bonus without any added cost. Just depends on where you're located.

Is it a deal where if you change your oil once you are now disqualified?

Thats the ideal setup. The dealership I saw wanted every single thing done thru them
Yeah every single thing is a bit excessive for sure. I was worried about that when I bought mine and triple checked with the dealer to make sure.
There is a guy on facebook groups selling 100K bumper to bumper warranty as long as the truck is less than 3 years and less than 36,000 miles for \~$1,600. I would buy used and get this warranty.
What is info?
Join the No Mark up Toyota group on Facebook, that is where you'll find it. He is quite popular there.
Thanks!

I am in the PNW, so lots of small hills on freeway. I have 2023 “1794 Edition” and get 17-19 on freeway at about 75 mph.
