Recovering Addict

Hi everyone, my name is Travis and I am a recovering bowtie addict.

I have gone 0 days since my last use... I have owned (and still do at the time of typing this) 6 different silverados over the years. I am about 99% ready to make the leap to a Toyota.

I am eyeballing a 2023 Tundra with 16K miles, platinum 4wd. I would be lying if I said I am not concerned about the engine recall issues. I ran the VIN and nothing popped up. I have read hundreds of posts about good and bad.

My thought process is that I can jump from my CHE*Y with known engine and transmission issues where if anything happens, I am responsible. To a low mileage Tundra, also with known issues but at least Toyota has been replacing engines.

I am hoping to get over to the dealership this weekend and seal the deal. Anything in particular I should be looking for?

Cheers fellas, here's to a new addiction...

 

Welcome from TN! Sorry I know virtually nothing about the 23s. But the people here are the best and will steer you right! Welcome!!

 

At least Toyota won't change the oil cap and tell you it's fixed.

 

Welcome from Ohio! Good luck with your truck hunt, jump in the 3G forums and you might find what you're looking for start one up. There's a good bit of people on here who GM, mostly HD tho. Post pictures of what you get!

 

Welcome from OKC! Sorry bud, I have to suggest a low mileage, unmolested, and rust free, 2021 that hasn't been in a flood. Why deal with something questionable everyday? Stress blows brother!

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

Welcome.

FYI, Toyota isn't replacing all blown motors. Only specific year models. Might wanna see if that VIN falls within the recall years. Or consider an extended warranty.

 

Welp, did a thing... I purchased it along with an extended warranty.

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Good looking ride. You'll be fine.

 

Welcome from San Diego, and... well, good luck.

 

Welcome from NOCO. You’ve got to move forward and take chances in life. It might work out, or it might be a PITA. Either way, this community will be here to console you and give you shit. Good job, and glad you got the extended warranty, same here.

 

I wont drive anything but Toyotas.
I've never had an issue with any Toyota I've ever had.

 

Confidence is high!
I agree though, the odds are in your favor.
Extended warranty is mandatory on any new vehicle with all the tech and you got that covered.

Welcome Travis from MN and enjoy your Platinum!

 

Welcome from New Hampshire! Nice looking truck!

 

Welcome and congrats!
