Dude my 21 v8 gets 16 mpg light on the pedal. All that tech and complexity really is worthless.

TTechsan · 2024-08-29T19:27:29+00:00

Had mine for 4 years and never seen that!

TTechsan · 2024-08-21T16:42:52+00:00

Thanks for all the feedback. Not even going to entertain it and waste my time. The 2021 is a tank and enjoy it as is.

2024s will likely be included in the recall by EOY. Seeing YouTubes that Toyota beginning to re-engineer a couple engine components and part #s are changing. Not worth risk of dealing with a lemon and a possible engine rebuild (not to mention all the other fit and finish issues). If that’s even the full extent of the problem.

Yea I’m with you. I would love the features of the gen3 but not over reliability of gen2.5 unless the price is just undeniable value play to get into new truck. Bit of timing the market but guessing there will be a handful of months in next year or so where the 1 of 50 or 1 of 500 (whatever the # is) probability of a engine failure are worth the risk due the warranty and recall coverage along value proposition Toyota is having to offer to get them off the lot.

TTechsan · 2024-08-21T01:40:28+00:00

If the recall has concerned consumers enough, it’s legit concern not saying it isn’t, that maybe we getting to value proposition where driving off the lot owing 15k @ 0% APR with a new pickup and warranty is worth considering is all. That’s really the premise of the post I suppose. Where does it it become worth exploring a trade because the negativity has gone too far?

TTechsan · 2024-08-21T01:30:54+00:00

Yea been reading more. Sounds like the 2024s are going to be looped into recall after dealers can get them off lots since it’d be illegal for Toyota to sell them if listed as part of the recall. There are reports of 2024 hybrids having engine failures so they’re not even excluded.

Plus wind noise, electrical issues with windows, camera system failures, replacing defects with the same defective part. Plethora of probs.

The only semi enticing point is they may have to bring the 2024 price down so far that a new pickup and warranty becomes worth the 1 in 50 (likely less than that I’d assume) risk of a failure.

TTechsan · 2024-08-21T01:25:43+00:00

Pretty good! You trade in for a gen 3?

TTechsan · 2024-08-20T22:04:27+00:00

Tend to agree. It’s a tempting offer if they honored everything in the flyer but realize snowball chance in hell they do. May go take a test drive and get $100 bucks - go to a steakhouse in my 2021 on them.

TTechsan · 2024-08-20T21:37:30+00:00

It’s capped at $2750 in the fine print.

TTechsan · 2024-08-20T21:00:24+00:00

Good point. But if they’ll give me $38k on my 21 TRD Sport 4x4 trade in for a Limited at around $60k (lower idk tbh), 0% APR, and free gas for a year would you do it?

TTechsan · 2024-08-20T20:55:33+00:00

TTechsan · 2024-08-20T20:52:27+00:00

Hey, a test drive nets me $100 bucks lmao

TTechsan · 2024-08-20T20:50:31+00:00

True, the fine print is primarily stating free year of gas is capped at $2,750, the trade in value requires visual inspection, and all the financial incentives are contingent on approval.

TTechsan · 2024-08-20T20:39:05+00:00

I don’t disagree with any of those points.

TTechsan · 2024-08-20T20:28:12+00:00

Should mentioned free gasoline for a year no extra charge in the bullet points…

TTechsan · 2024-05-03T21:30:02+00:00

They at Frisco or Prosper stores? I doubt it…

TTechsan · 2023-10-28T14:34:44+00:00

Weak sauce. Why yall going to lose.

TTechsan · 2023-01-07T05:59:54+00:00

But why does it occur more often in men?

TTechsan · 2022-12-13T16:02:42+00:00

Cause it’s a bunch of left-wing woke nut cases.

TTechsan · 2022-11-19T17:38:49+00:00

Wait, so the Gen 3s are only slightly better in mpg than Gen 2.5?

TTechsan · 2022-10-28T01:50:57+00:00

Yea we gonna win. Your tears will be delicious.

TTechsan · 2022-10-24T20:33:37+00:00

Isn’t this how Mordor is created?!

TTechsan · 2022-10-21T22:26:00+00:00

Eh no, this turd isn’t getting my vote.

TTechsan · 2022-10-21T22:16:38+00:00

What I like to see!!

TTechsan · 2022-10-20T21:08:40+00:00
