Any news on 2025 Tundra ?

And rear. The rear and front bumpers are my least favorite thing about these trucks. Specially the rear.

 

Feels like they should be fixing existing issues first

 

Agreed. How about an engine that doesn't burn up and need replacement and fix all of the QC issues before making any cosmetic changes. I think that is a good start for the '25 model year. However, with those hitting dealers lots in just a couple of months, I wonder how many of those will also have the defective engines?

 

They failed to fix a cam tower leak in 15 years. Don't have much hope for your bearings problem to be solved any time soon.

 

Or the 200 series radiator design that will develop a crack and leak over time that they let run for 10+ years. It didn’t start seeping usually until 80-150k miles though. The cam tower “leak” in 99% of all cases isn’t even enough to change the reading on your dipstick between oil changes. In the most extreme cases, you can smell oil burning on the exterior of the engine, but it still leaks less than a GM small block consumes between changes.

If it’s a seeping issue, they let it ride. They will figure out catastrophic engine failure, though.

 

I bet they did already. They now think how to fix it the cheapest way possible. For example, stopping engine plant for retooling is not an option, given the current sales number.

 

I am convinced that some of you guys will start an argument in an empty room. Buy another brand truck and call it a day.

 

Many of us are trying, but dealers don’t want our POS Tundras, especially ones currently within the recall production dates. Hell, dealerships are saying they don’t even want my ‘24 Pro, literally. When I left the gym earlier today, a guy pulled up next to me at a stop light and asked me if I already had a failed engine. Can’t make this crap up. Word is spreading that our trucks are ticking time bombs and the fact that many can’t even trade it away is tragic. The 3rd gen Tundra is the laughing stock of 1/2 tons…fact.

 

Mudbath was announced as pro color for 2025. I’m sure some idiot will comment on the motor.

 

I understand Brother. I hate that you are having this issue. I don't have a problem with you making these statements. You are living the problem. I am speaking about several posts of individuals that don't have a 3rd generation stating why they would not buy one. Hope it gets resolved. Thank you for your service!

 

V6TT motor sucks.

 

But gen 3 TRD PRO Sequoia looks badass.

 

just curious, is that fatal for an engine or could you simply keep adding motor oil as the old stuff leaked out?

 

For most it was minor seeping. I've had two Land Cruisers and neither have had the issue. The 5.7 is prone to it, along with the valley coolant leak and radiator failure (at least on the pre 2018 cruiser. Still, a very reliable engine. Probably my 2nd favorite Toyota engine behind the 4.7 V8.
