I got a 2024 MGM Tundra Limited HV in late March and have a little over 2k miles on it. Read about the recalls on the ‘22-‘23 years non hybrid trims and checked the dipstick after my wife got home with my Tundra since I took her 2024 Sienna XLE to the dealership so they can inspect the weatherstrip on the roof rail that detached from the back end of the driver side after an automatic car washed done a few days ago and thankfully they are going to replace both sides with new parts that are back ordered free of charge under warranty and we have an ugly bad good history with our local dealership service department so you know the deal. They’re going to take good care of us regardless. I’m a fair customer as much as they are so no matter what happens to our Toyota vehicles while it is on their hands, it will be taken care of. And to give you the answer on the dipstick, it shows a nice reading on it and oil looks clean so far with a 2k+ miles driven.

This is funny! I gave my TRD 4r to my wife to haul dogs around. These things don’t have the power and the transmission is always hunting for the right gear. I tried to pull a 2,800 lb trailer around Utah and Idaho. The engine is either bogging or reving to the moon. Bad choice for towing a four thousand lb trailer you’re going to regret it. I bought a F150 ten speed 5.0 to pull my trailer in 2018 and never looked back. The coyote has been rock solid.

There's definitely more room in the back seat area, but it's not as bad as you'd think.

Toyota corporate and dealer network response was horrible resolving issues with a 2019 Tacoma I purchased new. Subpar experience and way too many issues. Unloading it was the best thing I did.

Fast growth, constantly changing emissions, new technology and poorer American build quality. I stay with Japanese built 4runners and even that quality of materials isn't what it used to be. Probably the turbo and waste gate making noise. My turbo had the whine, but it seemed to keep the deer out of the road at 130mph coming home from work late night. Sadly I don't want to drive anything but a Toyota but if I needed a truck to do truck things I would have to get a RAM diesel. They should have just built a Ridgeline Sport truck. Oh wait they just did.

There are just as many failures with Ford, GM, and Ram you do not really have much choice I just watched a video on here a guy is on his 4th engine on a F-150 you can search it easy to find. We are living in a time where the engines are extremely complicated with very tight tolerances to meet EPA Emissions standards if you move on get a low mileage used reliable model like the old Tundra. When you look at the amount of failures the other brands are having your choices are buy an older model. That being said in Toyotas History they have been good at finding the issues and fixing them. They have found out the Rod Bearing failures are due to machining particles not getting fully cleaned out. Hyandai/Kia had this issue big time with their Theta engines. I understand why you would want to bail though.

Good looking 4Runner… Red McCombs sucks though!

Maybe we start thinking Nissan. The tundra is sissified. Not the truck a few years ago that looked tough and pulled that heavy load up the huge ramp. Right ?

Great choice brother.. 4Runners are solid trucks. That’s all I’ve ever driven and never had a single issue
