    I don't know much about 2nd gen, and I damn sure don't know ANYTHING about 3rd gen.

    It sure seems like to me that they really like throwing around the same numbers.

    $3,400 twice.
    $800 twice.

    If I had no inclination this would be somewhat believable. How would I know?

    Most people don't like to "waste time" doing their own research.

    Besides, the '14 model was the first year of 3rd gen, correct? Any "new" vehicle will have some problems. Even if it is just a face-lift.

    Since I am bored at work right now I took the click bait and....that "article" has got to be the biggest pile of horse shit I have ever read about the Tundra.

    -So who the hell would spend $3400 to replace the stock radio? You can get a hell of a complete system for that price.

    -Can't you just repair the camshaft towers? Why do you need to replace the entire motor for $3400?

    -Then it goes on stating "a variety of random body problems" and posts about 1, yes 1 driver out of 118,493, had his sunroof explode.

    -an another driver out of 118,493 other drivers had his mirror melt in the sun...$800 to fix it...:facepalm: Not even close.

    -this just made me laugh..."Other drivers had to deal with the front lugs or studs breaking in their front tires. They would suddenly snap, causing the front right tire to detach from the truck. This issue was incredibly dangerous at high speeds. It could also send the tire flying into traffic, causing multiple wrecks."

    Well it's clear...the 2014's are complete pieces of crap!:rolleyes:

    I know , seems motor biscuit hates Toyota tundra with a passion.

    What's worse is they talk about the 14's plaque with electrical problems. Hmm aren't they pretty much the same as the 3rd gen.

    Motor biscuit is where you go for information about electric cars, scooters, man buns and the perfect latte.
