re: If your Toyota Truck engine was replaced/recalled - check for pinched fuel lines

Agreed.
Extended warranties make a lot more sense now, wth the high labor and parts cost. I purchased them on the 17 and 22 6.7s, but not the 26.
Sunroof failed on the 17 and would've cost almost 5K w/o the warranty.
Im still not convinced about aftermarket warranties, but a lot of people by them.

I drive a 2021 Toyota truck. It’s awesome and I’m a fan.
Other than the new full sized turbocharged Toyotas being less reliable and more costly to own than their predecessors or their domestic competitors…..the new Tundras are also hideously ugly. I seriously don’t know what they were thinking other than maybe the pandemic caused them to a cut corners and half bake everything.
I’ll just keep my old one and trade it for a GMC or Ford eventually. Our local GMC dealer is very good. And I don’t want to own a twin turbo vehicle long term.

Chevy/GMC worked out their transmission issues?
You should be concerned about the engine blowing up as well.
GM had a stop sell and recall on their 6.2L engines.
If it blew up, they'd replace it, if not, they'd put a different oil in it and let it go.

You've gotta work awfully hard to eff up one of the most bulletproof engines ever, but damn if they didnt do it.

I spent over 30 years consulting to new car dealer’s service department. So I know a bit.
Toyota snd Subaru both have built quality vehicles for years snd deserved their good reputation. But the both have had bad engines. First Subaru, then Toyota with different causes.
But neither company had many technicians in their franchise dealerships that had actually taken removed and repaired or replaced engines, short or long blocks. They had been trained but today using computers and maybe video. Ant gear heads here that is not the same as actually doing this massive messy job they probably never did.
And in a dealership the OEMs write their own labor time guides so these techs, going this job for the first time is paid as if he did it every day. So I would guess they would take a 50% pay cut on these jobs. Quality goes to shite. Smart dealers step up and pay extra but they are the minority I think.
So yep. I would beg for a trade in. And oat a little more out of my pocket. It would be worth it.
Oh yeah. You would probably loose that lawsuit.

Blame CAFE/EPA more than anything else. You can point to a lot of otherwise reliable engine architectures going to shite due it. The Ford 3V Modulars, GM LS V8's, all light-duty diesels, Nissan NA V6's/V8's, even Honda and Toyota have a few lemons. Not just trying to squeeze more power out of ever smaller engines but going to variable output oil pumps, lower tension piston ring packages, thinner oils, extended service intervals...factory fill is 0W-16 oil for my new Toyota Rav4 and I'm not a fan of thin oils. OEM's like to use the term "adequate" when it comes these things.

You csnt really use anything much different due to ring tolerances and warranty.

GM at the dealership (who is a friend) told me when mine was getting its new engine, that Toyota sent the technician to the dealership (Penske) to do the warranty work replacing the engines. He was the only one there that did them.
They had my truck for 3 days.
Also, never had the first issue when I got a new engine.

For now, Toyota's 0W-16 with a 5000 mile OCI. The Toyota brand oil is heavy on moly, some discussion that these thinner oils require a more robust EP additives package. Will be doing a lot of reading on BITOG between now and the next oil change.

Once you hit 60K to 80K miles, you can swap over to a heavier oil. If there is an equivalent overseas, check the oil for that model. It's probably a heavier grade. You're going to trade off a little MPG, but you will have longevity. Oil specs have only been lowered here because manufacturers have to squeeze out every last tick of fuel economy for emissions.
The new Tundras are failing because of the main bearings on the crank are getting eaten up and spinning. The BS about material being left in the block is just BS.

So check mechanical components? I thought everyone’s supposed to call a dirtbag tort lawyer on speedial first?

I had meant to ask if yours was in the recall. I thought you had the hybrid, no? So you did get the replacement engine, and its been fine? Did it leave you stranded somewhere when it failed?

Isn't the Toyota brand just Mobil 1? Or Mobil 1 produces Toyota's motor oil?

Maybe some of their oils but this seems to be an Idemitsu oil. Going to order a case of Toyota oil filters first at least.

Imagine if Nissan had invested in redesigning the Titan pickup instead of screwing around with EV's that nobody wants. The timing would be perfect for them to draw away a lot of angry 3rd generation Toyota Tundra owners that don't trust their vehicle for longer drives.
I think the latest full sized Nissan Armada SUV is already vastly superior to the fumbled Toyota Sequoia already. Nissan needs to move product of that thing to the US and out of Japan to avoid tariffs. They actually did a very good job on those.

Yeah GM screwed that up. But I could also get a GM with the much improved and insanely popular L84 V8, a very stout 6.6L gas V8, or no less than 2 diesel engine options.
And Ford's Ecoboost issues could also be avoided with a solid 5.0L V8 or the newer 7.3L V8 in the larger models.
Even Ram is offering multiple engines now with the reintroduction of the HEMI.
Toyota has only one engine in their full sized trucks, and it is a disaster. Even if it avoided the widespread bottom end issues, the V35A is still an extremely complex twin turbo V6 that will be expensive to repair and keep on the road at the kind of mileage that many Toyota owners expect out of their vehicles.
Toyota needs to bring back the 5.7L V8 as an option. That would be HUGE for them.

Nissan has generally done very well on their engines, just not so much on the rest of the vehicle. I had a Maxima in the mid-1990's that wouldn't die, VQ30 V6 was a tank that ran like a top. Ford seems to have scrapped EV truck production plans at the new TN BlueOval City facility in favor of gas-powered trucks. Toyota is moving more vehicle lines to hybrid-only options, think the Rav4 will only be available in the hybrid option for 2026 onward. I saw a new Tacoma with the hybrid drivetrain while perusing the lot, nice truck until you get to the $61,000+ price tag. Think Toyota's bet on hybrids over EV's will pay them dividends in the years to come, at least some of the R&D and manufacturing investment into EV's will make it into hybrids, just hope Ford, GM, and Nissan start moving in that direction.
