I like my 2023 Tundra

So I’m glad most of you feel like me..

 

Same here. Love this truck.

 

I loved my 22 Limited DC except the back seat and missing a few features. 23 Platinum fills in those blanks and I love it more. I work from home, go in to work 1-2 times a month, when I do, I take my truck because co-workers want to take my truck to lunch, enough said. Besides, I can't fit them all on my Harley or my Indian.

 

I didn’t think you can say Indian anymore

 

Indian is a motorcycle brand company fyi

 

Thanks Sargent Obvious.

 

And what was your post about, literally can't say xyz, captain not so obvious trying to make his post confusing

 

I love my 2023 as well. In love with my red interior and the hybrid battery deployment is very clever in when it switches the ICE off and just propels on the hybrid battery. Sounds great and I don't mind the sound augmenting either.

 

Because "riding my Native American around" sounds so much better?





(j/k, if it is not clear already.)

 

Any long term over 100,000 miles owners

Better than saying I'm riding a Fat Bob or Fat Boy.

 

It is all good. Nothing wrong with riding whatever you want, even flog around. The twisties, I mean.

 

Couple minor hiccups....initial issue with active shudders, driving into a headwind at high speeds, shudder got stuck & caused CEL....happened 3-5 times during 1st year of ownership....had a software update preformed last summer & have not seen this issue again

Last summer (2023) one of the six coil packs failed causing CEL
Dealership replaced it on the house even though I was well out of bumper to bumper warranty with over 60k miles
& this past autumn I decided to do the spark plug swap & 2 more coil pack came out questionable (came out in two pieces) so outta caution for safety & reliability I replaced the two concerning coil packs

There are some non critical issues I've dealt with like weird rattle in dashboard, my gas tank cover bolt (one of them) broke & I'm using heavy duty HVAC zip ties to compensate, & the engine noise cover never stays in place (kinda just floats around in the top of the engine bay, since day one)...there are another 5-10 minor issues like these also
That I can't recall at 6am....hehehe

 

My family is from India, so I'm an Indian
Lol

 

Now confuse everyone by buying an Indian motorcycle.

 

lets keep this thread on track, every thread gets derailed FFS

 

My Truck Experience 2024 TRD PRO 6K Miles

1. General Overview: I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my truck. It’s the perfect size for transporting my track bike and all my motorcycle equipment. The truck is a fantastic blend of a Raptor and a daily driver capable of long distances. The gas mileage is great with the 33’s 12-15 City 19-20 HWY. Once I wear these out, I’ll switch to some 35’s just for the aesthetic appeal. I’m really not off-roading the truck much, but it’s nice to have that capability when needed plus it looks cool.

2. Driving Experience: The driving experience is generally smooth, although the hybrid system can be a bit clunky during starts and stops. Most of the time, it’s unnoticeable, but occasionally, it jolts when shutting off at lights. There’s also minor transmission shuddering at low RPMs, which can be resolved by giving it more gas, causing it to downshift and smooth out. This is much more noticeable in Eco mode, but it’s much better in Normal/Sport mode. Circular on-ramps specifically also make it more noticeable, although I’m not entirely sure why.

3. Ride Quality: The ride quality is a significant improvement over my previous 2017 Chevy. Probably my favorite part of this truck is the suspension. I've loved the fox ride especially off road or hitting bumps on road.

4. Maintenance and Upkeep: The recent ceramic coating has been a game-changer, causing rain to bead off effortlessly. Now, I can simply use a leaf blower for washes instead of having to towel dry the entire truck. Also doing 5K oil changes for peace of mind.

5. Storage: One minor downside is the hybrid battery occupying all the under-seat storage.

6. Issues Encountered: So far, I’ve encountered a couple of issues:

• A parking ECU/Camera ECU failure, which was promptly replaced under warranty.
• A paint defect involving clear coat and base coat separation due to the delivery wrap, which the dealer addressed by repainting the hood and rear quarter panel. (You can't tell where they repainted it looks excellent)

7. Performance: Performance-wise, the truck is surprisingly fast for its size. If the road is even a little damp with the traction control off, it blows the tires off (which is fun). I really like how it handles too - it’s plenty good for a truck. It’s always funny taking my buddies for a ride and gunning it. People don’t expect a Tundra to be able to MOVE.

8. Value and Cost: Admittedly, the price point is steep, but I think of it as my ‘Japanese Baby Raptor’. Given its potential for greater reliability, I believe it offers good value. However, I wouldn’t consider owning it without an extended warranty, given the amount of technology that could potentially fail.

Trucks are a lot like women. They all have their own issues and perks. Find one you like and keep it pushing.

 

So what’s everyone doing for Memorial Day?

 

replying in a thread about how we like our gen 3 tundras

 

I broke my back so I'll be polishing my fenders

 

Been there done that and it's highly overrated.

 

Of course you like it. If you didn't like it, you wouldn't buy it.

Me, I HATE it, so I didn't buy it

 

Me too man, meee tooo

 

lame, couldn't help yourself, had to come and take a shit

 

I will be smiting the un-roadworthy aboard my 14R.

 

I've been smited before. Ain't no fun.....

 

I'll have you know its captain!!

 

My relationship with my truck is complicated, but yes I do like him. I like the combination of features and lighter weight that comes in a fully loaded SR5. The tow hitch and frame are also impressive.

 

A word on tow hooks, plz.

 

its like the clown on marketplace that messages you and says " is this still available? ". Not interested just looking for some company
