The collection of data points of particular issues on the tundra by some of these channels is immense.

From the looks of select videos you would be led to believe the tundra as weather seal defects, transmission defects etc across the board.

I think there is a major problem, but I also think it’s being exaggerated. Much of the exaggeration comes from people who have already become frustrated and disenfranchised by the high cost of Toyota BOF products now. The people who were opposed to the loss of the V8 are also now feeling vindicated as well (and perhaps rightfully so).

I’ve always been cautiously optimistic about the V35, but we are now four years into production (more if you include the LS), and the kinks should be worked out by now. I wouldn’t be surprised if the V35 goes down as being the worse Toyota engine since the 12 valve 3.0 V6 in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s. Hopefully things will turn around.

Just for clarity sakes this is previous gen V8 which has already has another owner cross a million miles. That owner went through two of them with crazy high miles before now going into his v35 third gen (dont quote me on that last bit as i believe i saw him on a youtube university video)

I've owned a '16 Tundra with a 5.7L V8 and currently a '24 with TT V6 iForceMax and the new one drives MUCH MUCH better than the old one. It drives even better than my GX460 and gets better MPG (lol). My wife who doesn't like trucks in general (both my '12 DCLB Taco or Tundra CM) loves this new Tundra and believes it is a BETTER purchase than the '24 LX600 we were trying to buy (of course it's also $40k cheaper)

Perhaps Toyota should offer each owner of the 3rd Gen Tundra a 10Y/100k miles Platinum warranty and the industry will go nuts.

Congrats. The only way toyota is issuing a longer warranty, is if magically the sales numbers drop off a cliff since the recall notice.

This forum is good for insightful information… I was just wondering if anyone had thoughts or information to share regarding a possible refresh for 2026 MY?

I have no insight, but 2026 would be the 4th production year for the current bodystyle and it should receive a refresh.

He Did It Again! Million Mile Tundra Again for Same Man

Once again, Vic Shepherd has done the seemingly impossible with another Million Mile Tundra. This is his second time reaching that milestone with the same truck.

Million Mile Tundra again

This milestone was crossed today, April 9, 2025 at 5:34 pm ET on the 2014 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab with the 5.7-liter V-8 he traded Toyota with for the first Million Mile Tundra.

This new truck crossed the same milestone with no major engine issues like the first one. However, it did have a rebuilt transmission unlike the first one that only had a transmission repair for a problem with reverse.

The information below is from our story published on December 28, 2023 after he crossed the 900,000 mile mark. Shepherd told me 2024 was a really slow year for his business and a company policy change really slowed down his progress.

If you followed the original story, you may know that Shepherd bought the 2014 model to replace the 2007 model just before it hit the million mile mark. Then Toyota, impressed with the million mile odometer reading, offered him a trade — the 2007 model for a 2016 Limited Crew Cab. So, he used the 2014 model as his work truck and kept the 2016 model as a personal truck. Which is why it’s the 2014 model that has accumulated so much mileage.

Toyota tore apart that 2007 to see what lessons could be learned — especially since Shepherd did nothing to that truck except routine engine maintenance and a transmission repair.

Talking with Shepherd via phone, he said in addition to the routine engine maintenance on the 2014 truck, he replaced the alternator and the transmission. He took the transmission in to get repaired at 780,000 miles, but got tired of waiting for them to fix it, so he took it back and put 80,000 miles on it before having a new one installed. The issue was it would just spin, meaning climbing a hill doing 70 MPH would result in a speed of 35 MPH by the time he got to the top.

I’ll be traveling to see the truck in person with a video interview in the coming weeks. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of one person reaching a million miles twice with the same truck brand and with all service done at the dealer. Congrats Vic!
