    Well, where should I start?
    My super duper mechanic said "DON'T BUY A 2022 AND LATER TUNDRA". I wanted to be a good boy so I listened and bought a very nice, few miles 2020 Tundra, after many many days of research and due diligence...
    Now I am looking for a priest (of any religion) to bless it. Yes, their are still horror stories lingering about the 5.7 L engine...
    But there is something about Toyota, something magic. Take the land cruiser for example. I have seen some brand new ones in Africa and there are built like tanks. Indestructible! I think this bad engineering phase from TOYOTA will go by and we will have great Tundras again.
    But this one will probably be my last Tundra.
    So I am pretty excited to be around YOU ALL (birds of the same feather...), to share the love and maybe hate about our investment!

    What horror stories are lingering about the 5.7l ? Yes, it has some quirks that may require minor fixing and maintenance. But that goes for every vehicle on the road that actually holds up over time. But certainly not in the way of major mechanical failures.
