Why are there so many non 3rd Gen Tundra owners in the 3rd Gen sections?....

I'm a 21 owner and I don't care who knows!

 

Unfortunately, lol

 

Also, You guys have done a good job getting rid of the just total dumbasses so this is much more applicable now!!

the constant harping on what shit piles we drive with personal bs was out of control for a bit , that’s why there is some left over questions, things are on the upswing now!

 

all the new high compression tiny turbo engines are shit. And i enjoy a good dumpster fire. And as new stuff gets harder & harder to work on, its icing on the cake. I dont wish mechanical problems on anyone, wish it was driving nannies or gps related, cause those people would deserve it, but with the titans retirement, i'm gonna need a shit show to fan the flames (got a 300k '04 titan i keep running). I seen it coming, and offered a warning, and was accused of fear mongering, and the 3rd genners were so smug until i started being right. I've got to rub stuff in, just a bit. Kudos to toyota saying they're gonna replace all the engines, good on em, but i hope its not tax funded. Sucks to suck.

all my heckling is in good fun. I dont 'BOO' the 3-4 3rd gens in my neighborhood, i might mention to do extra oil changes, but new vehicle people arent usually outside folk. Gotta work hard for that absurd car note.

 

I did not say anybody "hurt me" just an observation that I was curious about. Also I never said people didn't have the right to go and comment on whatever they want. I just asked the question, what are the motivations behind it? Just seemed weird that a good portion of the people commenting do not own or drive one daily. I have only seen this with real car rivalries like Camaro vs Mustang and stuff like that.

That's probably as good an answer as I will get, thank you.

 

BECAUSE THEY HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A REAL TRUCK FROM ONE OF THE LARGEST CAR AND TRUCK MANUFACTURERS ON PLANET EARTH!

 

I think the biggest issue is that the Tundra family is divided. It has always been a loyal bunch of enthusiast that would answer any question and if they didn’t know the answer they would find out. Its always been extremely helpful. It seems now that when someone ask a question you get a smart ass, “that’s what you get for buying an ugly piece of shit….” Makes me laugh. The Tundra has always been the least expensive truck on the market and it was so reliable. I think Toyota priced out a bunch of people and they are BITTER! We also have a bunch of rookie Tundra owners that came from other brands and maybe not the thickest skin. Truth of the matter is the new Tundra is superior in just about every way. I’ve had a bunch of reliable Tundras that I usually traded in around 70k miles and guess what, my 22 has 80k miles and I’ve had the same luck reliability wise as all of them. In fact this is the most miles I’ve had on any of them. This forum has always been helpful and entertaining,,,to me it still is

 

Engines eating bearings and long block replacements are the biggest Toyota news in years, even if it truly is only around 1%. People are going to have opinions. Lots of 2nd genners are still wanting to give Toyota the benefit of the doubt before they trade their problem-free 10-15 year old truck. 2025 is around the corner; this will be the fourth model year of the 3rd gen Tundra, and we still see very un-Toyota-like issues (like 2024 models eating bearings).

 

I really don't know why. Maybe one of them can shed their thoughts on it. Oh, and I really don't care.

 

Deep down we are all brothers. I can't think of one of us Gen 2ers that wouldn't lend a broken down 3rd Gen owner our...

Some of us used to be 3rd Gen owners ….

 

I'm a current 3rd gen owner and all my life Toyota person. Only one time i had dodge and one time honda, read my post on the link https://www.tundras.com/threads/2024-tundra-problems.142814/page-2#post-3643513
I cannot wait to get rid of this American POS.... Yes, as you know, it is the most American car nowadays, Unfortunately Americans car ruin everything.
Now you can open your mouth, i'm not going to read it anyway, so, go ahead.

 

we are on the same team, where's the bashing of domestics gone to!

 

cuz our credit score sucks

 

What’s a domestic? GM, Ford, Toyota, and Tesla?

 

If it wasn’t for the non 3rd gen owners and their colorful commentary l would probably fall asleep. And they are allowed to punch “up”, punching down is absolutely forbidden in my book.

 

historically American brands . Just a joke to lighten the mood

 

I liked the joke! I just wanted to point out the playing field is different.

Stelantis …. CEO is very adamant they are not a domestic anymore

 

yup, and we can bring you gas and new teeth from the efficiency and ride of your rigs

hehe, see we love each other again

 

See now you are over my head haha. I just dont like the Tundra V tundra hate. I went with a 2nd gen... because of cost. and because I've said from the get go I wanted to wait until 2025 to let R&D fine tune... but the fact y'all have a double cab long bed... lets go.

Tundra regardless of year.. im in. lots of friends with third gens with no issues. That said I dig my 2nd gen that I dont mind if it gets scratched for right now. Coming from many Tacomas which I loved im sold on the Toyota fam... lets just all get along and mess with each other like we should but in good sport.

 

lol I was waiting for that!!

 

What are you moving into from the Tundra? I am in a similar position as you, but have decided to keep my Tundra for now.

 

Do you know why the Gen IIs have a 38 gallon gas tank? Because a 48 wouldn't fit and it would put it over gross weight.

 

lol, well done.

I had two so I know all too well
