3rd Gen Shortcomings

What was this supposed to say. Sorry couldn't figure it out

 

I wouldn’t say very common but definitely more common than it probably should be, being a known issue. It would just suck if it happens out of warranty because it’s an expensive repair. I can’t believe the miles you put on your truck. You really should go for the second million mile Tundra.

 

"Premium" stereo that is actually premium. Better headlights on the pre-2018, my wife's RX350's put them to absolute shame. Less interior rattles.

 

Thanks for info, I'm just about out of my extended warranty which was a waste of money. If that happens I'll probably end up trying to do it myself. Not because the cost but the truck would be down and I wouldn't have anything to do lol.
I can't believe it either I didn't think I'd be at 111k already. I was originally going for 200k or totalled. But at 111k the truck drives just like it did new so might as well go to 300k before I look for a new one. I wouldn't want to see this truck at a million miles. I'm sure it would run fine but it would look pretty beat up as it is a work truck.

 

Rear locker and lever shifted transfer case.

 

+1 on locker. I forgot to put that one on list. Others have it.

 

Negative. They may call it premium sound in the platinum but I can assure you it is not.

 

Day time driving lights that can be shut off ..
Fog lights that can be put on without headlights ..

 

Auto up driver window. After having it for the last 11 years on my previous vehicle, it's the one thing I can't adjust to.

 

For the amount of tundras I see and the amount of them I do under warranty, I agree not common but known. Very meticulous repair, 95% of the ones I have done are covered by warranty or extended. But I have not done or seen any cam towers leak on 2015 or newer tundras, they made a lot of changes to how the seal packing is applied during assembly.

 

um. i already take up two spots...

oh. yeah.

 

CO must have small parking spots. I can fit in 1

 

nah, it's just because of my overflowing testosterone infused over compensation. i just want to be #known.

 

1. Touch the door, door unlocks like my wifes 4 year old Camry.
2. Push button start like my wifes 4 year old Camry.
3. Under/behind seat storage like my 12 year old tacho.
4. Wireless phone charging like my wifes 4 year old Camry.
5. Black out/chrome delete option factory.
6. JBL Sound system that i can listen to with my windows open and still hear the music.
7. Sensors in the front center of the truck for parking. The ones on the side help as you are turning in but no as you crash into the car right infront of you.
8. Radio antenna built into the truck like my wifes 4 year old Camry.

 

Crewmax with a 6.5' bed (or even 6').
Passenger power seat on ALL trims (not an upgrade)...it's ridiculous this isn't standard.
Better headlights
Better audio

That's about it for me.

 

Factory Remote start that doesn’t turn the engine off when door is opened!

 

you are on your way to become tundras.com million miles member..lol

 

This makes me feel a little better about having a 2014 w/ 97000 miles on it

 

I suppose at this point I'm doing 73k a year.

That's good. My truck has been used hard for every mile. It tows 4 to 5 times a week. Only thing I see comming up for mine is some brakes.

 

I've personally only put 9,760 miles on it....

 

Forgot one more. Drivers side door handle. I dislike steps but was reconsidering them before I ordered a handle from Roman.

 

I used to do the trip thing but it always rolls over. One thing I wish the tundra had was an hour meter then I'd get to know how long I've left the poor thing running for.

 

Yeah it just has the "trip" time but resets once turned off. I use both yep thingys....one that is reset at each fill up and one to see how much i drive a month. I haven't reset the one i usually do the monthly with just because i wanted to see how much driving i have done since i bought it until the end of the year

 

IMO we have the best ride truck out! Anything I wish was a little different/better, I can/will mod. Hell....just since joining this crew, I've found all kinds of new ideas that made me think, "....you know, I don't like that either....I guess I'll change mine since now I know there's options and mods."

@SuperSilverTundra, @4x4_Angel, @Stumpjumper, @AlexWV Regarding the back seat, check this out (start at 2:50). I recently added this to my mod list.

Mileage would be nice- i average 45k a year, mostly towing

Longer bed on crew max, even an extra 6inches would be helpful

Better stereo, I have a platinum and my girlfriends sr5 4Runner sounds light years better

Better interior storage- current set up sucks

More USB plugs and a dedicated 110 plug

Interior chrome and paint- cheap and reflects sunlight into my eyes, solved by wrapping some pieces. Paint is cheap and scratches on interior plastic

Exterior paint blows, but every new vehicle has this

 

fixed it for you

 

Does this work on a crewmax? I thought it only workEd in dcabs?

 

I don't care for that box. there is one that is made for under the rear seat that goes in the floor....and imho looks better and more like it belongs. i know a few guys have them. what i am looking for i want to go under either the drivers seat or the passanger seat. i found one for the jeep.....but nothing else
