2021 Next Generation Details leak - thoughts?

"An all-new Tundra pickup will drop in the fourth quarter of 2021 and sit on a TNGA-F platform, forming the basis for new 4Runners and Sequoias due in 2022. None of these trucks will be available with a V-8. Instead, a twin-turbo hybrid V-6 will be the top engine option"

Ew...

 

Having just owned an F150 (I traded it in on my 2020 Tundra last Friday) and having had a ton of friends who owned the Ecoboost....well, that's specifically why I traded my F150 in on a Tundra now.

Don't get me wrong - my F150 never let me down over 123K miles, no major issues at all, but fitment just wasn't the same. Additionally, during the first 2 years (2011-2012), the Ecoboost (and even the 5.0) had some manufacturing issues with the engines. Not at all widespread, but still, it just gives credence to the belief that one should never buy the first year of a brand new truck design.

On top of that, there have been some other issues with the F150 line up recently (lock issues; timing chain issues, etc.) Not that the 5.7L in the Tundra is 100% problem free, but whereas I've spoken to numerous people who have had Ecoboost issues, I've yet to come across anyone (off this board, that is) who has ever had any major issues at all with any Tundra.

 

I have no doubts Toyota will make a great product however I would not purchase the new generation for at least 3 to 4 years after its released. there will be bugs and little things to work out , plus its worth holding out for the minor refreshes that will come with every new model year . I held out for many years until i bought my 2019 . which I am very satisfied with !

 

I’m very interested in what a stripped down off-road Land Cruiser looks like. The Tundra will be a tight fit in my garage so I looked at Land Cruisers. My father-in-law has an 03 LC with 265000 miles on it so I know they last forever. I just can’t buy a used LC with 80-100k miles for the price of a new Tundra.
