what was is the issue?
They don’t know. Otherwise they’d have a fix outlined in this recall and the 2024 trucks wouldn’t have all these imploding engines.

What’s crazy is the mpg improvement isn’t a leap change, it’s barely better.
If I am forced into a v6, I want 30mpg.
It's marginally better at best. Like 1-2 mpg in most cases, sometimes it's worse

Early Ecco boost engines also had after cooler isssues taht would foul plugs out every 30k. I was one of the ones taht had the problem.

1-2 mpg is not really a marginal improvement. 18 —> 20 is an 11% improvement.

It is for most people that consider it a less reliable setup. Would you make a 45k vehicle purchase based on 18 vs 19 mpg? I say this as someone who doesn't give a shite about mpg, but is that really a thing for many people?

Looks like my 01 Landcruiser is only going up in value

I've owned a 08,11,17, and now a 23 Tundra. My 2023 is by far the best one so far. I've got just shy of 30,000 on it and no issues. Get 20mpg. I guess the hybrids aren't part of the recall? I did get a 4 year, 125,000 platinum Toyota warranty just because it's the second year of a new engine.

I don't remember if it's the Colorado /Canyon or Tacoma, but one of them gets worse gas mileage with the 4 cyl turbo than the previous gen V6. The 2.7 F150 gets about 1mpg better than the 5.0. It's really nothing, or close to nothing for most people.

I had a Camary in the early 2000’s. They had a problem with sludge buildup in the engines. They had a recall and I had the engine rebuilt for free

My 08 is still getting it. I think she's getting ready to hit 250k this summer.

If the Japanese have fallen victim to the ways of the new world then the world is truly fricked. We’re they built in the USA? If so, that’s probably the problem. Disrespect the Japs over a damn truck and frick around and awaken the killer inside of them.

I've been mentioning this every time theres a Tundra thread and would get downvoted. Provided links from Tundra forums of polls from forum members with Engine failures and its a worrisome number.
52 members with engine failures
Are the new model Lexus GX suv's safe?? We shall see over time. Don't expect the same reliability as the old school Lexus'. Even if its built in Japan.

There is a possibility that certain machining debris may not have been cleared from the engine when it was produced.
Yikes. Guess they didn’t learn a lesson from the Ford 6.0 diesel fiasco and clean the blocks before installing them. It much to do about that for already produced engines except wait for them to pop and replace. Idk how you have a recall program and open up every engine to check for slag.

This is why I'm hesitant on the new tacomas and 4runners with that new engine
those will be 2.4L 4 cylinder turbo opposed to this 3.4L 6 cylinder turbo. The new Lexus GX550 has the 3.4L though.
All this makes me want to just keep on driving my 2006 4.7L 4Runner.

The Tacoma and 4Runner will sadly see the same results. Why they’d ditch their bulletproof engines like the v6 and v8 for the turbo shite with the same gas mileage is baffling.

Ford likes to wait until the NHTSA tells them too. I'm not sure they've ever done a recall that hasn't been required of them.
I just find it funny people shite on ford when other manufacturers are having recall problems as well.
One might be your tail light doesn’t come on vs fricking engine needing to be rebuilt.

Get a Silverado with the straight 6 diesel then.

Find a Nissan Frontier that’s around 20 years old with less than 200,000 miles and everything will be fine. Even better if it has manual roll up windows.

2007 with 240k still going strong.
