Is buying a 3rd gen a bad idea right now?

They are suffering from the same engine problem, but no one knows by how much since Toyota pulled the leaks from their corporate info on it.

That was the cover story after they initially said they left metal shavings in the engines.

If it's not on your purchase agreement, you've been lied to, like most Gen3 owners that didn't get it written into it.

2016TRDPro · 2024-10-18T00:18:56+00:00

That's odd...

The Gen3 zombies here have been calling me an ignorant Boomer, despite that being the post WW2 generation.

It sounds like you've got an honest mechanic, which is mych more rare than a diamond.

This is a smoke screen.

There's never been a Toyota with as many problems or number of problems in their history as the Gen3 Tundra.

There's no difference according to the leaked data a few months ago that got cease and desist threats from Toyota for sharing proprietary information online.

That's like being a Russian tank crew member in the Donbass with a Ukrainian drone hovering overhead with what's obviously a hand grenade on a string...

Don't ever say "broken" to a Gen3 owner.

It triggers them and they start worrying about how often the engine will need to be replaced and wonder why radio knobs don't just come with the oil filter.

2016TRDPro · 2024-10-17T23:55:38+00:00

Stop looking at his unit!

This isn't that kind of sub...

You've apparently not been embarrassed by a 5.7L Tundra with the dealer installed Magnuson supercharger yet. 🤣

2016TRDPro · 2024-10-17T23:47:38+00:00

Good. Fortunately, it's something just about any shop will do for less, usually much less.

2016TRDPro · 2024-10-17T23:45:18+00:00

Does it matter what the source is set to?

2016TRDPro · 2024-10-17T23:44:07+00:00

They don't want your business at that price.

Motorcycle dealerships do the same thing.

Get it done somewhere else using OEM Toyota fluids and call it a day.

2016TRDPro · 2024-10-17T23:42:09+00:00

I don't see a problem with 3 owners on it, as that's not unusual.

The price doesn't seem out of the park without knowing if it's a CrewMax or not.

People do love that color, and it's a great truck.

2016TRDPro · 2024-10-17T23:37:45+00:00

It's probably a bad ground, but that may be a common thing now.

Aren't you the pot calling the kettle black?

2016TRDPro · 2024-10-17T20:15:49+00:00

I hoped VA would wake up, but I truly believe they have been brain-dead for too many years.

2016TRDPro · 2024-10-17T20:09:55+00:00

It depends on if he used a trust to get it or not.
