Car Care Nut is not entirely objective - it mainly deals with Toyotas, I don't even comment on TFL similar ones. This guy is OK, although he is not entirely objective - he works indirectly for Cummins and he has made some mistakes - such as the way of comparing payload, but he is still better compared to many other channels.

Way too many people follow the normal service and drive under severe conditions and blame the vehicle for blowing up.

It’s a new engine, like any new design it’ll have some kinks to work out and areas that need refining. But that falls into Toyota’s philosophy of improving things over time and not coming out with something completely new every few years. I think in a few years these will be pretty reliable engines in general. Hard to say if some of the early issues people have reported are due to engineering and design issues with the motor itself or build quality issues. As far as the old 5.7L goes generally speaking they are very reliable but not without their own common issues. In my personal experience I had a 2011 Tundra with that motor that dropped a valve at 88,000 miles destroying itself.

Why do people make such a big deal about GDI carbon buildup? Not all DI-only engines are designed the same. The carbon buildup is primarily caused by EGR dumping exhaust into the intake... but I know for a fact that GM's DI V8's don't even have an EGR system. I don't hear anyone freaking about about diesel engines not having fuel sprayed on the back of the valves. They go for hundreds of thousands of miles without an issue. The examples of DI carbon buildup that I see cited are almost exclusively DI engines made by VW/Audi and Toyota where they used EGR's and poorly designed PCV systems that caused horrific buildup.

@@Nick-ue7iw no, they have a test engine in a room that they run 24/7. By the time that model engine hits market the test engines have 1M. How would you interpret my post as Toyota putting used engines in new trucks??? Holy cow

Give me a Chevy 350 with a 4BBL carb. Enough with trying to squeeze water out of a rock. This is the reason that Ford F-150 are blowing up all over the place. There is no replacement for displacement!

My questions is, did they increase bearing areas when they decided to turbocharge the 3.5? They took a smaller engine, with fewer components, to produce the same hp as a larger v8. Same stress is now spread out over fewer pistons, rods, bearings, and crank, not to mention the block itself. It's a lot of stress for a smaller hunk of aluminum. If they're going to use a longer stroke, boosted no less, I would think the connecting rod bearings are going to have to be fairly heavy duty. Time will tell I guess.

No Toyota did not cobble this engine together. Who would think they would risk their reputation doing such a dumb thing. Now the engine issues some customers have been seeing with bearing failures are likely supplier quality or assembly issue. Unfortunately, no manufacturer is immune to such things in supply chain. Honda has major recall for their 3.5L V6 engines that have been in production long-time due to crank bearing failures (too tight clearances). I don't fear Toyota as much as their suppliers and where those suppliers are located to cut costs. China or Mexico IMO are opportunities for disasters. Same for all manufacturers.

@@kannermwMaybe they shouldn't be pushing such sophisticated powerplants if they're suppliers suck. Did they upgrade bearing areas from naturally aspirated? I hope, unless the original 3.5 had overkill bearings in the first place. When you take a smaller engine and ask it to push as much hp as a larger engine, reliability and longevity suffer. This is not a new concept. It's well known with OTR diesel trucks. Also, in aviation, they tend to stay with relatively low power to weight ratios in piston engines to increase reliability. I think Toyota is just stuck between a rock and a hard place with US emissions BS, and trying to solve it with what they already have, mostly. Otherwise they would've come up with a completely new engine design.

@@ArnoldsDesign This nonsense about turbo engines is overblown. Diesel turbos have been around for decades. Toyota makes mistakes but in this case people are freaking out over nothing. The V6 is designed as heavy duty turbo engine not some spare parts pin special. These engines will be reliable and the V8 loons buying gasoline by the barrel and emptying their wallets will stop whining in < 5 years. Gas prices will continue going up unless we have major recession. Supplier quality problems are an issue regardless of engine tech. Unfortunately, we are in an era where manufacturers are struggling to improve profitability. That means sourcing components from countries that do not have Japanese quality systems and mindsets. Fortunately these things are covered under warranty. Much better than a crappy design that fails just outside of warranty.

Great video

Look forward to next week video :)

My V8 5.7 stays nice and cool. With a simple cooling system.

Do the nissan titan 5.6

Great video appreciate your honesty. It’s funny how the comments section are filled with people complaining/hating about turbos on a Toyota truck when all manufacturers are going that route and putting turbos on their trucks: i.e 2025 Ram 1500. Lets see the comment section when you drop that video. Bet turbos on a truck won’t be an issue there lol

Great video!!!

The thing I have an issue with on these is that some features are linked to a spyware contract you have to sign before they switch them on, and you need to pay a rental fee for them after the introductory period. I believe that includes the remote start, so from my perspective it doesn't have remote start. Some manufacturers even rent you the use of your heated seats.

I'm not an "engine" guy, but this was the best video I've seen on the Tundra engine (I switched from wanting a '24 Taco to a '24 Tundra to replace my '22 Bronco BD 4 door 2.3 MT), and I'm hoping that the "negative" review that's coming doesn't totally contradict or negate all the good things you mentioned. Not sure that I'm looking forward to it, but I trust whatever you'll say about it. Subscribed and liked!

Well explained 👏

Thank you sir, great breakdown, appreciate your technical expertise and use of graphics to help us lay-people understand!! Was my understanding from the Car Care Nut, it’s all about govt emission standards, and that’s why we have this new engine, not gas mileage👍🏻👍🏻

what happened to the other video on the dark side of the this engine?

Great video - did you ever re-make that video about things you do not like about this engine? Thank you.

Old Toyota Master Tech here. I wouldn’t own one. The V-8 may have poor fuel economy but they’re dead reliable and run forever with basic maintenance. Toyota has really lost its way in my opinion. They used to pride themselves on being the most reliable vehicle made but not anymore.

I started with them when the dealers didn’t even employ engine and transmission techs because they didn’t need them. Apparently the buying public doesn’t care about quality as long as they can sweat the payments on a $60,000 POS.

Great info

hanging on to my 2013 5.7l tundra. maybe after a couple more 100,000 miles I will consider replacing it!

I work for an engine parts supplier that makes the camshaft and cam caps for these engines, Toyota has a TON of issues with these engines, they are finding anything and everything to try and void the warranty on as many of these as they can. DO NOT off road these trucks, even lightly if there is ANY dust or dirt in the air intake filter housing they will report and potentially void your warranty! Tons of Turbo system issues. No thanks. The fuel economy and power are not better than the V8. It's an over engineered more expensive much more expensive system, that is not as reliable.

The heavy mechanic review out there to help our company save money! When you buy a service vehicle it HAS to last.

The only issue is that there are more moving parts like 3 radiators and electric water pumps and plumbing plus coolant services and twin turbos etc….. A lot going on here but this is the new generation of compilation to try and solve fuel consumption. Don’t get me wrong this isn’t just Toyota it’s all brands which makes it difficult to choose a vehicle in today’s market. Great job in your opinion of this engine. Ty

I think Toyota blew it by setting up the hybrid for more power instead of more economy. The non-hybrid has plenty of power for most applications. Apparently plenty of people feel this way as it is being reported that the hybrid versions are not selling all that well.

I put 1000 miles on both the Powerboost and the Tundra Hybrid. Not only did Toyota miss the mark on fuel economy, Powerboost got 24mpg, Tundra got 18, the big miss was in the lack of torque fill. The powerboost felt so much stronger at all points and uses of the throttle. The Tundra was good, just not nearly as strong imo.
