2012 tundra crewmax 4x4 5.7 platinum with 84,000. miles

how bad is 2012 crewmax 4wd 5.7 platinum model, on the internet it says that's the worst year

 

Sounds like a good truck if the price is right.

 

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. The 5.7 liter is a solid engine that has a proven track record. What are you reading are the problem areas?

 

mostly tranny problems, a secondary air intake problems, they say it was the year with the most complaints

 

No issues here and I've put over 100k miles on mine.

Buy it.

<----2012 CM 4x4 5.7 w/155k mi.

 

I’m not aware of any trans issues. Some have had issues with the secondary air injection pump, but there is a bypass kit that you can run if that issues ever arises. If it’s priced well I wouldn’t hesitate to make a purchase if everything checks out well on it.

 

if every other year had one complaint and 2012 had two, that would certainly be the worst year. Be careful!

 

Thanks for the info

 

Same truck 07-13, 14 was a refresh but still largely the same underneath. Nothing to worry about with “more complaints”.

 

I have a 2012 platinum crewmax that is heavily modified and carry a lot (prob too much) weight. Lockers F&R and while a lot of overlanding, do all kinds to trails etc. (pin stripes to prove it).
I don't daily drive it, 113k miles and use Amsoil for all my oils.

I absolutely love the truck, no engine issues. Tranny went through a period where it would briefly cut out for "overheating" or something like that, but it was right after a tranny flush. After a little bit hasn't popped back up in the 3 years since.

I should probably have a 3/4 or even 1 ton for the mods I have. However I just love my truck too much, the hundreds of hours of my work on it, not to mention customization (lockers, 4.88 gears, King suspension).

-My experience.

 

thanks for your response

 

Thank you

 

Thanks

 

I put 150k completely worry free miles on my 2012 and it was one of my favorites.

 

Thanks for the info
