    I bought a 21 as well. I’m a Toyota tech, and this is my 4th 5.7L (2 sequoias and now 2 tundras). I didn’t think I was going to like the 2022, and I don’t (this is subjective). Unfortunately I’ll still have to deal with the headaches and I’m sure I’ll be pulling a 2022 apart sooner than later.
    Almost time to retire, maybe.

    The 737max was pilot error, regardless of what anyone says.

    Don't want to derail any more than I have, although I basically agree, Boeing still had to pay out. Wonder why......

    Cause the FAA doesn’t want the public to know there are bad pilots, it’ll ruin air travel.

    The number of Toyota dealers does not factor into the equation. The only data that matters is how many total trucks have been produced and how many of them have the issue due to bad parts. Percent affected = # vehicles with problem / total vehicles produced. I believe I saw in an earlier post that someone had VIN number 7000, so if we go with that number and assume 100 have had the problem(s), then we're looking at ~ 1.4% affected.

    Sorry, not directed at you or trying to put words in mouth.

    Agreed it’s complicated and it’s a tough time. However as others have pointed out that’s what every manufacturer is facing. Very unlike Toyota to not to own the issue and come out stronger.

    Would not be surprised to see a head roll at Toyota NA.

    It’s just the way it worked out. I’ve been blessed in that I’ve always had a good job making good money. I’ve never had to pay alimony or child support (I don’t have any) and I don’t have a rational better half telling me I can’t buy what I want.

    Hurry up! Mid December the waiting time was 5-6 months. I'd say, you have time till end of February or, maybe, March.

    Questions - I thought I just read here that someone who just took possession this week and had 88 miles on the truck got the dreaded waste gate issue? What do you mean “mea culpa” recall, which I haven’t read anything about? And, reviewing this forum and the FB page, it seems there are more that a few folks who didn’t get that well-taken care of and while maybe got a loaner, it sure wasn’t a truck. Not trying to be snarky and I apologize if it comes off that way, but one of my biggest concerns as a prospective buyer was Toyota’s handling of this issue. If there is evidence of them doing right by it, I’d love to see it.

    So true. Ever since he was put at the helm, trucks started going down hill.

    I'm just about ready to bail on my 1794 order fellas...

    Too much chaos in San Antonio. Too many regrettable and unfortunate "real-life" post purchase fiascos.

    Michigan/California/Japan collaboration meant well, but execution of the plan, however, has been a well-documented disaster.

    Moral of the story I: don't wait 14 years to update your vehicle.
    Moral of the story II: and when you do, don't execute your plan in the middle of a global pandemic with fucked-up supply chains and chip shortages.

    I think I saw it on the 2022 tundra Facebook page. I am not sure the validity of it, but it kinda tracks with what I have seen and heard about the issue.

    Thanks! Here is the post from Monday on Toyohedquarters.com


    upload_2022-1-27_22-26-20.jpg

    A couple quibbles with Jake from State Farm, I mean Toyota:

    “Only about 500-1000 might have an issue”(That’s a confidence inspiring margin of error…)

    Claims that every engine has now been resolved via techs sent on the road. (So anyone noting this issue post Monday or who’s truck is still waiting on parts is…)

    Just like a lot of the negative posts on social media are fake. No one knows which ones are actually genuine.

    That is true, it could be fake, but what he said actually seems more plausible than the "oh its just a couple of them" bit that the "Toyota can do no wrong" crowd it trying to peddle.

    One or two did not pass the smell test from the beginning if you have ever been anywhere near mass production or parts sourcing .....

    It really seemed like BS. 500-1000 is a huge spread.

    You can count on it....
    Wouldn’t be a bit surprised to find it’s a completely different vendor making them.
    Remember, Lexus is Toyota Motor’s flagship line. This brand is competing head to head with BMW, MB, Acura and Infiniti.
    They can’t afford to cut too many corners. The affluent customers aren’t very patient, receptive to, “bring it back to our service dept and we’ll take care of it.”

    Or that’s how how I see it...
    I can tell ya, while teching on MB(over 20 yrs ago), I was stunned at the warranty work we had to do on a high end, “premium” auto.
    Was so liberating to escape to Infiniti where all I did was services, few warranty recalls(small switches & such), rarely saw a significant failure... worked right next to a Nissan tech at the dealer, abs he was always R&Ring radio sets, climate control modules etc.
    THERE’S DEFINITELY A DIFFERENCE IN LINES. Or was.....

    The Turbo will be fully covered for at least 5 years 60k everywhere under powertrain warranty and 7 years 70k miles in CA, where I live, under emissions control warranty.

    If the new turbo lasts that long, I would expect it to last at least twice as much after that.
