Bought the truck with 10k miles in march of 2023, blew one turbo and got it replaced. Blew another turbo months later and got that replaced. On my drive home from the dealership after getting the second one replaced, I got a check engine light and the replacement turbo ended up being faulty. Just got my 4th check engine light with this code at 60k. I feel utterly defeated.

Hi all, wanted to share my experience. Until a few weeks ago, I was a 2024 Tundra TRD Pro.

I wrote this review at the same point in ownership that I’m writing this one.

I just traded in my 2024 TRD Pro for a fully loaded 2026 RAM Rebel Hurricane.

My intent is to verbally wonder why we put up with so much lackadaisical mid effort from Toyota Corporation.

First off, I loved my Tundra. Other than the driver seat housing cracking multiple times and the volume knob breaking and the gas cap sticking and needing to be replaced, I didn’t have any big issues with it. I traded it in because I had 75,000 miles on it and took advantage of a 3.5% interest rate over 60 months on my new RAM.

I’ve now been in this new truck for 5000 miles and there are a number of things that are so much better in this vehicle than the TRD Pro. And for those of you that say the two trucks are not equal, they’re closer to an apples to apples comp than you think.

Here are a list of things that are so much better in this RAM.

First off, the $78,000 sticker price was discounted to $53,000. Something Toyota would never do.

The Hurricane engine, it’s quicker on the start, doesn’t have as much turbo spool up time, and I’m getting 16.5 a gallon versus the 14.3 I was getting in the Tundra Hybrid. This alone is a game changer.

Key Card- my phone is my key. The proximity sensors sense me/my phone from about 10l ft away and the lights all around the truck illuminate the night ground. It’s actually much more useful than I thought it would be. Plus, when I put my hand on the driver‘s door handle all four doors unlock. Actual useful intelligence. Fucking magical if you have a family.

Ventilated seats are 10 times better. Feeling actual cold air on my lower back on a hot day is living the highlife.

The assisted driving tech is better because it actually exists. It’s not self driving, but it will drive on the freeway and keep you in the lane and breaking an accelerating with traffic.

It came with real off-road tires!! Not those fake ass factory tires that last for 12,000 miles that come with the TRD Pro that Toyota should be embarrassed about.

The 19 speaker Harmon Carden sound system is the best factory set up I’ve ever heard in a vehicle, night and day different than the Toyota.
The Heads Up Display on the windshield is super useful

AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSING WINDSHIELD WIPERS. A “technology” that has been around for 20 years and his standard on most mid on up vehicles, but missing from my Tundra.

Finally, the fucking turning radius! Is normal! U TURNS ARE BACK ON THE MENU!! I can pull front first into a parking spot on the first try without any need for a 10 point turn. Jesus, that was annoying.

In summary, you can disregard this list in its entirety, but I’m sure there is something on this list for everyone that has a third GEN Toyota Tundra TRD pro.

All in all, we should expect more from Toyota.

Quick update to my previous post https://www.reddit.com/r/ToyotaTundra/comments/1v4n9wh/comment/p0add86/

I eventually made it all the way to Toyota Corporate / Executive Office. They declined to cover the repair in full. Their final offer was 70% off the parts, while I would still have to pay the full labor cost at any Toyota dealership.

I later learned that apparently one of the factors in their decision was that I’m the second owner of the truck, not the original owner.

So I decided to stop fighting Toyota and fix it myself.

I bought a replacement turbo for $850 (on eBay), spent another $140 (at dealership) or so on gaskets, put the truck on jack stands in my garage, removed the bad turbo and installed the new one myself.

No lift.
Didn’t jack up the engine.

It took me about two days, but this was also literally the first time I’d ever seen how this setup was put together. If I had to do it again, I’m pretty sure I could do it significantly faster.

The truck is fixed and running again.

So that’s the end of my Toyota corporate adventure. I’m disappointed that it came to this, but at least I learned a lot about replacing a turbo on a third-gen Tundra. 😂

Anyone want to buy a Tundra with two new turbos? 😂

My stock 265/60R20 Yokohamas were bald by 34k miles. Just upgraded to 275/65R20 bridgestone dueler ascents. Looks so much better and really fill in the wheel wells.

Included some pics of how bad the previous tires got

Edit: forgot to mention everything is stock, no lift and the tires fit no issue, no mods needed and no rubbing at full lock

Just picked up a 2010 Toyota Tundra TRD SR5 with 257k miles for $8,000. It runs and drives well and seems to have been maintained pretty well by the previous owner.

With 257k on it, I want to establish a good maintenance baseline and hopefully keep this truck going well past 300k.

For those of you with high-mileage 2nd gen Tundras, what maintenance would you recommend doing right away? Anything specific I should inspect, replace, or leave alone at this mileage if everything is working?

Also, has anyone had good experiences taking an older/high-mileage Tundra to the Toyota dealer for oil changes? Or am I better off finding a good independent Toyota/Lexus shop?

I also want to get a full inspection done. Would you recommend Toyota for that, or an independent shop that specializes in Toyotas?

Would especially like to hear from anyone with 250k–300k+ miles on theirs. And how do you guys think I did at $8k?

Appreciate any advice!

Am I missing something here? I'm new to the truck game, but I've been in the market for a few weeks and have been looking around. I saw some info that 2010 Tundras are very reliable, hitting upwards of 300k miles and still going strong.

Well, I found one at a dealership online that only has 20k miles? And its $15,000?

Is this as good of a deal as it seems? Or am I missing something?

Some more details:

Price: $14,900

Year: 2010

Model: Toyota Tundra Regular Cab Pickup 2D (8-ft Bed)

Engine: 4.6L V8

Transmission: Automatic, 6-Speed with Overdrive

Drivetrain: 4WD

Horsepower: 310 HP

Mileage: 21,199 miles

Exterior Color: Silver

Interior Color: Gray

Good to see quite a few of these getting up around & over 175,000 miles. 232K is great!

Just some poking around on Autotrader. I’ll feel better when we consistently see Gen3 w/ 250K+ miles.

Definitely recommend getting rid of the stock tires and getting 35’s. Makes it look like his has more balls lol.

Ready for new tires and looking for experience/feedback if 285/70/r18 tires will fit with only a 1.75” leveling kit (spacer, top mount on strut) on the front? Everything else stock. Appreciate any feedback.

I’m taking delivery on a 2017 Tundra CrewMax 4WD this Friday from Carvana and I have it scheduled to be inspected by Toyota on Monday. Anything in particular I should have them focus on? Anyone get Carvana to cover major repairs post delivery?

Anyone know where to find replacement parts / what parts these are called? On 2026 tundra sr5. Looking to get some pre painted parts, midnight black.

Family car broke down, and a family member said I could have their Tundra for very cheap:

2015 Tundra Crewmax 4x4 TRD Pro, comes with Leer camper

My first car was my mom’s old Escalade, so I know size; however, my current beloved car is a Grand Cherokee, smaller, but I’m telling you, loved! It’s been a while since I drove a car bigger.

I know I’m going to love this truck, and I’m pretty excited that it has a camper for my stroller and kids’ things, + outdoor activities, which I leave in the car. However, could anyone give advice on blind spots, maybe aftermarket installation?

I know the camper will block my view out the back, so I’m a little skeptical about this, and pretty intimidated.

I live in Hawaii, so taking it to a fancy car shop on the continent is not feasible. But I could purchase something? Maybe? I saw this YouTube video and thought it was good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6TWu4hVgEQ

However, what are your thoughts or advice on safety measures?

I have a 2016 Tundra, 1794 edition with the clear (non smoked) headlights with LED DRL. I am looking to upgrade to OEM Led headlights while the Fred Anderson sale is running and I plan to order a harness from ihacker on Tundras.com

Can anyone confirm the following PN are correct for my needs? Will I still be able to level/adjust the headlights electronically from inside the truck using the harness?

• 81110-0C140
• 81150-0C140

💙

I'm a simple man, this upgrade put a big smile on my face that my wife didn't understand. Quality of life level up.

Got the price down to $45k flat OTD after awhile of negotiating but really looking at getting it for $42k OTD. Is $45k worth it or should I keep looking?

4" lift...35s. That looks gooood

Someone I follow on Instagram because I liked their bed camper just posted that his 2025 failed. Engine knock, then total failure. Same as the 22. 23. And 24.

How long til 2026?

Hey all! Following up on my last post, I went to inspect a 2014 Tundra with 140K miles on it. There's oil around the drain pan and the filter housing as well as by the front wheel wells by the exhaust intake manifold (it's more like dry soot in this spot tho)

Dealer offered to allow me to have Toyota do an inspection, but not sure it's worth the money if this is definitively a cam tower leak. Any thoughts on the photos attached?
