    Bought my first Toyota truck in November. Seemed like it’s been deemed as one of the “worst” Tundras Toyota has produced according to what I’ve been seeing across many different platforms. However, jumping from my 2016 Silverado has been amazing. I love my Ice Cap 2024 SR5!

    I’m not a fan of so many automated systems, but it’s the way vehicles are going. The new Tundra has had some speed bumps with the wastegate and bearing issues. 100k truck recall is a bad look and inconvenient too. But it’s a nice upgrade in many ways from the prior gen tundras. I wouldn’t worry about the failures unless it happens to you. Plenty of 3rd gen owners with no issues and happy experiences. Yours is a great looking example. Welcome aboard!

    Agree. I did buy this truck brand new and don’t plan on doing anything that will void the warranty for a while just in case. But man, that’s going to so be hard for me haha.
