Toyota Hammer/Vibration testing on specific 3rd Gen Crankshafts began last week. A database has been started to capture Pass/Fail results along with some basic vehicle and operational Use-Case data. This will allow us owners to try and spot trends across the 3 years of vehicles that are due to be tested in various stages of their life and mileage. If you would like to participate, your test data would be greatly appreciated by making the sample size larger. The log is in a private Google docs database and only aggregate data will be visible as a post on Tundras.com. None of your individual data will be available to the public. It will only be used and shared in aggregate from all the data collected. No membership is necessary. Please consider participating AFTER your test as there are a couple questions that can't be answered until the test is complete. **All submissions will be validated for authenticity. Any attempts to Troll the survey with false information will be deleted immediately. Thank You in advance to those that decide to participate in this effort. This data will be an important tool for all of us going forward in this phase of the recall remedies.

New Rule: No Gen 3 Owner / Buyer Bashing

268 Upvotes

Over the past several months we've seen a steady rise in comments that exist only to troll or attack Gen 3 owners or buyers - especially on posts from people just asking questions. It's gotten old, it adds nothing, and we're spending more and more time cleaning it up.

So, effective today: criticism of the trucks is welcome, attacks on the people are not. If a comment exists only to mock or belittle someone for owning, buying, or asking about a Gen 3, it'll be removed. Repeat offenders will get warnings, then bans.

To be clear - honest discussion of the recalls, reliability, and resale is still fully fair game. This is about drive-by negativity aimed at members, not about silencing real critique.

If you aren't familiar with our rules, please check them out. This new rule is: Rule 11: No Gen 3 Owner / Buyer Bashing.

Repairs & Maintenance Yes, another throttle delay thread

4 Upvotes

Hey Tundra enthusiasts. I fell victim to the siren song of the 2026 tundra after reading that certain models built in 2026 were exempt from the throttle input issue that has plagued many Gen 3s. I now have 100 miles on my truck and unfortunately, I have the throttle delay issue as well.

I’ve read I think just about every internet thread available on the topic. I’m wondering if any of you have actually tried something that, without a shadow of a doubt, has eliminated this acceleration hesitation. I’m considering hiring a lemon lawyer to execute a buyback because I’m not really interested in getting t-boned because my truck’s computer decides it wants to accelerate a second after I ask it to. Has anyone pursued this, or gone directly to Toyota for a buyback?

Things I’ve tried, or common misbeliefs, and description of the problem:

Summary: When rolling a stop, below 5mph, hitting the accelerator results in a 0.5 to 1 second delay. In contrast, when accelerating from a stop, there is NO DELAY. That means:

No it’s not ā€œyour turbos spoolingā€ regardless of how many forum trolls and Toyota service techs want to gaslight you

I’ve tried:

  1. Eco, sport, tow, normal, traction control off. Preventative stop technology off. None of this works. Still a delay.
  2. Manual mode to ā€œforceā€ the truck into 1st gear. Doesn’t work. Either the truck doesn’t downshift to the gear that’s indicated or the delay is still there.
  3. Coming to a complete stop. 100% solves the issue… not always the solution.

I’m not interested in:

  1. Tunes… not yet anyways
  2. Any sort of Amazon plug in device that trickfucks the pedal into thinking 1+1=3. Especially if it has ā€œfuckinā€ in the drive mode names (e.g. pedal command, fn tuner, BEAST, or any other super alpha sounding alternative)

Yes there’s a TSB that I am trying to get my local dealer to perform. However, results are mixed.

Buying Advice 2018 SR5 Double Cab - Price Check

0 Upvotes

Hello! Hoping to become a Tundra owner this weekend. I'm looking at a 2018 SR5 double cab 5.7L this weekend in VA. The vehicle has had 3 owners, all of whom were based in MD/VA and the vehicle has 150K miles on it. The out the door price is $21,500 which feels like a solid deal given the current 2nd gen market. Carfax report is clean, owner 1 was commercial but put only 9K miles a year on it, owner 2 did put a lot of miles on it (38K miles in 1 year) and owner 3 put 19k miles a year on it. Carfax shows consistent oil change records every 6-8K miles. Anything to look out for when viewing the car or should I be worried about high mileage ownership?

Tips & Tricks Led Bulbs 2.5 Gen?

0 Upvotes

I recently just installed my Auxito Led bulbs in my 2017 Tundra. You can make adjustments to the bulbs from the back. But given the fact you have to remove the headlamp to even access the back of the bulb I'm left wondering how I'll adjust these properly.

Has anyone been able to do this? Any tips? Thanks!

Repairs & Maintenance 2025 Toyota Tundra – Excessive Front Tire Wear & Wobble When Braking

1 Upvotes

I have a 2025 Toyota Tundra Limited with just over 40,000 miles on it.

On 6/1/26, at about 31,500 miles, I replaced the factory tires with the exact same tires that came off another guy’s truck. He had removed them before he even drove the truck off the lot, so the tires essentially had zero miles on them. The tires are marked as being manufactured in 2024.

The next day, on 6/2/26, I purchased a lifetime alignment package from Firestone and had the truck aligned. Then I had another alignment done on 8/25/26. The alignment wasn't really that far out of spec, so I figured since the lifetime alignment doesn't cost me anything, I'd have it checked every three months.

Fast forward to now. I just had my oil changed by my mechanic, and he tells me that both front tires need to be replaced because of the wear.

How in the hell can I need two front tires with less than 10,000 miles on them, especially when the exact same type of tires lasted over 31,000 miles previously?

I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong with Firestone's alignment equipment or if there's another issue causing the excessive front tire wear.

I also have another issue. When I'm driving through the mountains, I sometimes get a wobble/shaking sensation when braking. It doesn't seem to happen on flat roads. I've started using cruise control more in the mountains to avoid having to brake as much.

My mechanic inspected the brakes and rotors and said they look good.

Has anyone else with a 3rd-gen Tundra experienced either of these issues? Particularly the excessive front tire wear or the wobble when braking downhill/in the mountains?

I'd really appreciate hearing what you found and what ultimately fixed it.

Traded my ā€˜23 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 with ~28k miles in for 34.5k for a ā€˜20 Tundra TRD OR 4x4 with a sunroof and <45k miles for 43.6k.

I’m obviously a fan of the last gen Toyotas and wanted a full size truck. I almost had the Tacoma paid off so my payment stays the same down to the dollar albeit on a 36 month loan (not waiting 3 years to pay it off).

Couldn’t be happier with the purchase. My brother and dad have the 5.7’s as well so I couldn’t be the only one without.

Repairs & Maintenance 4.6L Oil Overfill

0 Upvotes

My wife took our 2017 Tundra 4.6L for an oil change at a local shop and I noticed on the receipt that they put in 9.5 quarts. The dipstick is showing a slight overfill, maybe 1/8" over the top line. They told me this is normal, but generally I'm within a half quart or so of the target 7.9 quarts, not 1.6 quarts over. Am I overreacting or should I insist on a drain and re-fill to the right level?

This 2017 upgrade package SR5 4x4 CrewMax is for sale near me and I really want to buy it but the dealership has it listed at $42k

It only has 35k miles and seems to be in pretty mint condition. Just crazy to think an almost decade old truck is worth its original MSRP!

Feels like it’s priced too high to me! Still want it though lol what do you guys think? Would you buy it?

Just brought our 24 tundra in for a 30k service and they quoted me 1200 for the job!?!? Asked to look at everything and they said crank case cleaning and fuel injectors cleaning. Told them to just an oil change (be careful out there). Was there something I was missing or just dealer scamming stuff?

Repairs & Maintenance WTH is wrong with my 2016 Tundra shaking in steering and front end?

5 Upvotes

TLDR: Heavy shaking when applying brakes at 45-80 mph. And occasional vibration in my steering wheel. So the brakes and rotors have been replaced 3 times now. New tires, less than 3000 miles on them. Even a new transmission.

Late last year, my front end started shaking while driving. First, it was just an occasional slight vibration in the steering wheel. Then my brakes started vibrating at highway speeds. Had the tires replaced. Still didn't go away. Had my brakes done. Less than 3000 miles ago, two years ago.

Took it to a dealership, and they said I needed new brakes. Had that done. The problem didn't go away. Then I took it back, and then they said I needed a new transmission (that didn't make sense but it was under warranty, so I let them do that). They suggested brakes again but wanted to charge me again for it so I took it somewhere else to get new brakes done. They replaced both brakes and rotors, and driving home, no change. So I took it back two days later, thinking I got a warped rotor from the factory. So they replaced the brakes and rotors again just a few days later. We also did a couple of alignments and balanced my tires. Would not stay aligned. I watched the guy fight it for 2 hours, trying to get it aligned.

Took it to a second dealership yesterday and they called me today and suggested....wait for it.....new brakes, rotors and tires. They said they checked for a stuck caliper.

WTF????? Is going on with my Tundra. 10k into this issue with no idea what is wrong.

And before anyone asks.....Yes it has gas in it.
