2020 Toyota Tundra 3 Year Long Term Review (Surprising)

2020 Toyota Tundra 3 Year Long Term Review (Surprising)
How does the Toyota Tundra hold up after 36 months on the road? After 20,000 miles and three years, how well the body, interior and the mechanics have held up might surprise you. We all know what a truck looks like on the dealer lot or for the first few months of ownership but what about when it’s been put to the test over many months and a few years time? You’re likely going to see a big difference from a heavily used vehicle when compared to a brand new one. If you’re wondering if you should buy a used Tundra with the 5.7 liter V8, the all new redesigned Tundra or another full size truck brand you’ll want to see how the owner of this 2020 Tundra feels about this truck after owning GM, several Rams and Ford trucks.

    I have a lifted 2015 Tundra 1794. Zero problems, the truck still runs like it's brand new. Interior leather is still in great condition despite hauling a 90lbs chocolate lab on a regular basis. My gas mileage is around 11mpg in the city and a little over 12 mpg on the highway but that is due to the lift kit and the large tires that I run (35x12.50R20). This was my first Toyota product and it has been great.

    I bought one of the last 2021 made delivery Nov 2021 and the spent six hours installing a external transmission cooler kit that was $980 dollars. Since it is my tow vehicle I think it was money well spent for long time protection of the transmission. I change my oil at the 1000 mile mark and then every 3000 miles. I only use the Best oil Penzoil ULTRA platinum Since I am retired this might be the last truck I purchase..I do also have a Nissan Frontier 2017 daily driver and A 1993 Chevy 3500 two wheel drive Silverado that I maintain and sits in the garage lake house to put the boat and and take the boat out or go to Home Depot. The fun thing about the Silverado is when the grand children go for a ride they are amazed on how the window goes down (turn a handle) and explain what a cassette player is. While the tundra is a beast and pure luxury that old 1993 is not as high up and easier to get in with along bench seat and attracts attention

    I’ve had my 2021 Tundra for less than two years and have over 44,000 miles on it. It has been completely free of any failures, recalls or issues! I also own a 2020 4Runner with over 34,000 carefree miles! The new Tundra is a complete and total disappointment; fit and finish issues, turbo troubles, axels coming loose, rattles and wind leaks, etc., etc.! In less than a year the Toyota Tundra has gone from the most reliable full-size pickup ever made to being the most troublesome new generation introduction! Also, I seriously doubt the new Tundra has more low end torque considering it needs RPMs to engage the turbos and has gone from having a class leading 4:30 rearend to a 3:30 for highway driving! There is a real reason why I have had offers to sell my Tundra for more than I paid for it even with over 44,000 miles! There is a very real reason why used Tundras sell faster than any other used truck!

    the steering knock is common in Tacoma's and tundras. its the joint in the intermediate steering shaft under the dash. you can have the bushing replaced or do what i did and just run a thin zip tie through the middle of the joint in the shaft to take up the extra space. if theres a lot of slack it may need two. or if it doesn't bother you just ignore it as its not going to come apart.

My brother is a transmission specialist and said new fluids are made to run at higher temps for longer intervals. They are however not made to run at extreme temperatures for long periods of time. Therefore, it is highly suggested that you change your transmission fluid at shorter intervals. I plan to do it at 40k.

    The app is not needed for remote start, as long as you are within range of the vehicle. Push the lock button on the key fob 3 times in a row, holding on the 3rd push until the truck beeps and it will start remotely.

    @@chrisdrives8204 I went out and double-checked because it has been a long time since I used this feature. It only hit the actuator for the locks once on the initial button press. Also, the truck doesn’t beep when you push and hold on the third button press, the lights flash a few times and that’s when you can tell it is about to start. Give it a try.

    I currently have a 2021 Crewmax TRD off road Tundra. It’s my second one, my previous being a 2010 Crewmax which was bulletproof for 110k miles except for the faulty (forget the exact name) warranties item in the exhaust system that rusted and was fixed at no charge. I considered the 2022 model but with a dual turbo v6, I said no way. My goal is long term ownership of this truck and there’s too much to potentially go wrong after any warranty runs out on the 2022. The old platform is tried and true overall and as much as I’d love all the new tech in the 2022, I can live without it and would rather have old school reliability. I have put a 2” spacer lift/level kit in the front for added clearance and BFG KO2AT’s on it for light off roading. This truck does extremely well on moderate trails with the stock Bilstein shocks. I’ve owned a lot of trucks over the years and this platform is my favorite.

    That's so weird...I have a 2020 Tundra SR5 (Voodoo Blue). I am the original owner and take very good care of it. After 3 years of ownership, I am having the exact same suspension issues you mentioned in the video. I mean you explained the exact same problem I am experiencing; a "clunking" noise towards the front end every time I drive slowly through a parking lot, or turn the steering wheel at low speeds...like pulling into a driveway or going over a speed bump. I have taken it to the Toyota service center 3 times and they can't figure it out. I even had private mechanics look at it: no diagnosis of the problem. It is really annoying. However, I have had zero problems with this Tundra other than that and still love my truck. What could this clunking be coming from?

    Jbl system sucks real bad. Really no storage inside other than the center console. 38 gallon tank reads empty when it's got 8gallons left. Remote start shutting off is dumb. TRD skid plate creaks out of control until you put flex seal tape on it. Rigid fog lights rattle bad until you zip tie them. No heated steering wheels. No Trans cooler. No LSD (a trac sucks) or options for factory lockers. Can't lock the car with it running? Annoying AF beeps. No bed lighting. No inverter. No bed steps or anything to help you get in and out. Also weird the passenger side tires stick out farther than the driver side tires? Weird. All fixable/addressable things but cost $. Unless you're buying an SR5 and modding yourself? Eh. There's better options. What's really irritating is that tacomas literally have all of those things/features and they are as reliable as you'd expect toyota quality to be. Makes me wonder if the entire truck being designed in Texas is actually a good idea or not. Maybe it should be designed in Japan and just assembled and sourced there... maybe get a better product.
