New user New Motor : P

Hey everyone!

I'm a proud new member of this forum and, apparently, of an even more exclusive club: the "My Tundra’s Motor Needed Replacing Before I Finished Breaking in the Seat Cushion" club.

Here’s the scoop: I’m rolling around in a sleek 2023 Platinum Tundra (black, of course, because I like my trucks like I like my coffee – dark and intimidating). She’s only got 28k miles on her, but apparently, the engine decided it was time to retire early. Yep, that’s right – motor replacement before my first set of tires needed changing. Lucky me, huh?

Originally from Northeast Texas, I now call the Panhandle of Florida home. If you’re ever down here and spot a shiny black Tundra that’s half in pieces (temporarily, I hope), feel free to wave. Or laugh. I’d understand either way.

Looking forward to learning from y’all and maybe even contributing if I can. And hey, if anyone’s got any tips for how to prevent engine #2 from taking early retirement, I’m all ears!

Cheers,
Your friendly, slightly unlucky, new forum buddy Jon

 

welcome and sorry its under these circumstances.

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! Where in the Panhandle are you? My in-laws are in the Pensacola area.

Sorry to hear about your truck. Hopefully, Toyota will make you whole and you'll get years of good service out of it.

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Welcome from foggy Central California!

 

You’re not alone!
