    Mouth Breather= 1. Literally, someone who lacks enough intelligence that they never learned to breathe through their nose. 2. A really dumb person

    They literally shipped finished blocks without cleaning out the machining debris. This is grenading a $32k engine. There are trucks out of warranty that are gonna be totaled due to this if Toyota doesn’t start replacing them. You darn right they deserve insulting. How you people want to make light of a QC fail like that is beyond me.

    One again TMMAL= Mouth breathers

    Well that subscriber count is off by about 1200% so I would question what else they have completely wrong.

    It’s the Japanese culture, I feel like there could be more of that in my truck and in the brand. Maybe it’s been watered down. I want fear, shame and humility to be the mindset.

    The 3rd gen roll out has been awful by any measure. Im sure Toyota will eventually fix the issues, but in the meantime, you can't argue that they haven't done real damage to the "Tundra" brand that earned a well deserved reputation for reliability and durability from the T-100 to the 2021. That brand damage will have to be repaired with goodwill repairs and a lot of extended warranties IMO.

    OP has owned zero 3rd Gens and trashes them.

    OP's Pathos < Actual Owner's Logos

    The only non 3rd Gen owning guys that can trash 3rd Gens and get away with it are @hagrid , @Coal Dragger and @someone else I can't remember...

    Everyone else just looks weird spending so much time worrying about a truck they didn't even buy (or even intend to buy).

    Clowns.

    Or maybe they were following a process set by Toyota that was inherently inadequate. Btw, throwing out insults to people you've never met behind a screen doesn't impress anyone.

    Maybe life over in the Gen 2.5 forum is just boring, since we all know they were the best truck ever made and never have problems.

    I have yet to see anyone point out how the persuasion of CR’s donors has an effect on how CR evaluates Tundras.

    Okay, CR has donors with certain beliefs, but how does that affect ratings of the Tundra? Furthermore, why did they go from saying 2.5 gens were highly reliable to saying 3.0 gens are not reliable…due to these donors?

    No one gave you the authority to declare who can and cannot have an opinion.
