    I'm looking to buy a 2007-2013 ,2nd Gen Tundra. After watching dozens of reviews and reading articles...lot's of them suggests NOT to buy the 2007 or 08 models because of bugs that occur in the early model years.A few people say buy a 2010 or newer. Curious as to what guys who own these model years have to say..?
    Secondary air pump , cam tower leaks, exhaust manifold cracks seem to be most of the complaints. Also..
    5.7 versus 4.6 ..I'd prefer more power..but I'm not pulling anything..main uses are hauling wood and dirt bikes around.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! I can't help with that question because I don't own one from those years.

    Father in law has an 07 that has 350,000+ miles and doesn’t have any leaks or anything. No major maintenance or anything but he does have the 4.6.
