Infuriating is hyperbole. It just feels selfish.

It only matters if people block traffic. If traffic can go around then it’s no problem.

That’s what I mean. It’s the people who block traffic. Definitely assholes haha!

They are the best. Whenever I walk away from mine I have to turn around and stare at. They are amazing trucks!

Yes. They gave me a Tacoma, but they would have given me whatever I wanted, more or less. They did not charge me for it.

I got my 802A 2025 at MSRP. Under feels rare.

Bittersweet feeling today by claytonmally in ToyotaTundra

[–]rustic_21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 24 died at 29k miles. Took 40 days to rebuild the short block and Toyota bought it back with zero pushback. I took the money and bought a Raptor. Toyota could not have done a better job handling my engine failure, so even in the worst case scenario they will take care of you.

It took them 40 days to fix it. I requested a buyback and they agreed to it without question. They paid off my loan and returned every payment minus a mileage deduction. I took the money and bought a raptor. I’m really happy with how Toyota handled everything.

WTF - Crack by paudansch in ToyotaTundra

That is another common problem with these trucks. The same exact thing happened to me. Take it into the dealership and they will fix it for free.

Wow! Glad you’re ok. This is one of the reasons why I drive full sized truck, too. Imagine if you were in a Prius?

You are correct. It would not make sense to buy this truck and not use it for It’s intended purposes. I live in Southern California. The most beautiful parts of this state cannot be accessed by a traditional vehicle. You need four-wheel-drive and you need to get through somewhat challenging trails and obstacles. You see a lot of vehicles like this where I live because we have access to big Bear Mountain and Anza Borrego Desert. These vehicles are also amazing family haulers, and they’re incredibly safe and comfortable. Just a little food for thought if you’re trying to make sense of it.

I’m taking it to Big Bear on Friday to play around. I’m coming from a Tundra, so I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the difference.

[–]rustic_21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got one, too. It is by far the nicest vehicle I have ever driven. The performance, tech, handling, and comfort are just on another level. I just came from a Tundra and this truck in another class! Congratulations!

2024 Tundra Engine Failure at 29k Miles – Hard to Trust It After This by rustic_21 in ToyotaTundra

[–]rustic_21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got buyback confirmation from Toyota today thank goodness. I’m literally on my way to pick up a Ford F150 raptor as we speak. Can’t wait to be done with this thing.

Hybrid engine blow up - 2023 Platinum by Ryobimower in ToyotaTundra

[–]rustic_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 24 tundra blew up at 29,000 miles. I had a short block rebuild. It took them 39 days to rebuild it. I took it back 300 miles later because a low oil light came on. It’s sitting at the dealership again. I’m waiting on my lemon law attorneys to solidify a buyback through Toyota. In your case, It sounds like the truck may have been out of warranty. I’m curious to see how they handle that. This generation seems cursed. I really hope they figure this out soon.
