    My 2014 Tundra SR5 won’t crank. This is the third time it’s happened, it’s intermittent and a day or two later I have no problem starting it for a few months. I have had It towed to a dealership and it cranked with no problem for them. They found nothing wrong. Any suggestions.

    First thing to check is battery (do a load test) and all battery and ground connections. If the battery is 3 years or older, I would just replace it.

    Your starter could be on its way out too, but checking battery, positive and ground connections to battery and starter would be the first step

    What he said ^^^

    When my truck was doing this it was corroded battery cable terminals. I replaced the terminals and the battery and haven’t had an issue sense.
