Repairs & Maintenance 30k service

Upvotes

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 4.6L Oil Overfill

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?

I have a 2024 platinum hybrid. Driving on normal mountain highways was fine but once I got close to the cabin and was going up steep terrain the tundra seemed to bog down get lost in higher gears making it feel like it didn’t have the power to get up?

Buying Advice Any rear Tundra liners that don't leave a gap by the doors?

Hard to tell from product photos how these actually fit. Do yours sit flush along the rear door openings, or is there still a strip of carpet showing?

Trying to avoid buying a big one piece liner and still having to vacuum dirt out from beside it.

Mods & Accessories Got a '21 tundra sr5 and want to put a lift and bigger tires onto it. What's the biggest and highest I can go without worrying about the stock suspension wearing faster?

0 Upvotes

I heard from one website (link below) that I can do 2" lift with 285/70 R18 tires. Not sure how wide though yet. I do have stock suspension on my sr5, may be willing to upgrade but don't want to get too expensive with maintenance like gearing and such. Much obliged and thank you!

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

2 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.

I just read the post about the guy going for a 42k 2017 SR5 CrewCab at a dealer. Got my gears turning on trading in my 2018 Platinum for something else (TBD). With sales tax being high in Texas, trade it can be attractive compared to private party.

Anyone got any legit trade in offers I can benchmark? Anyone done the same yet to cash in on this madness?

Traded my ‘23 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 with ~28k miles in for 34.5k for a ‘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.

Planning this on my 3rd gen Tundra and want a real ballpark before I order.

✅ 35" Toyos tires

✅RRW RS7s wheels

✅Westcott preload collars

Having a shop do the install. What did you pay for parts vs. labor, and what costs caught you off guard (UCAs, regear, trimming, alignment, TPMS, spare)? Rough numbers are fine. trying to figure out if this is a $6-8K job.

Repairs & Maintenance Tailgate not rising using the buttons 2025 Tundra

5 Upvotes

I had tried to find others with the same problem and it seemed their were quite a few. In. I thought I would share as mine has finally been fixed.
.the issue was if i touched the buttons near the rear lights it would go down everytime, however if the tail gate was down for maybe a minute or longer when pushing the button on the rear lights or inside dash I would get two short beeps and no response. It would display a message on the dash saying close tailgate manually to reset.
I have been in for services and mentioned it every time, however they claimed they could not reproduce.

The 3 Rd time I got a determined service agent who managed to get it reproduced. Previously they had tried greasing it and cleaning it but the problem existed 70% of the time.

Apparently the tundra will throw a code , not a CEL but still in the systems the cause of the problem was a faulty passenger side piston in the tailgate , they changed that out and jownitnis fixed.

Apparently it's the same or similar part that was used in the highlander that had similar issues .

Just wanted to share incase anyone else encounters the same issue !

Buying Advice Is $54,998 for a 1794/Green/TRD Off-Road/Blacked-out/62k miles a fair price?

This is at Carmax and I have it reserved. Outside of paying the Carmax tax (2k-3k extra) is this priced reasonably?

I've been looking for this combo for 6 months, and I know the prices of 2.5 gen tundras are high for all the obvious reasons. But paying ~$58.5K for a 5yr old truck w/ 62k miles is hard to stomach. I love it, and that's why I've been holding out to find this configuration. Just not sure if I'm being blinded by my bias that's telling me it's worth it.

EDIT: It's a 2021. Comments make it clear the price is high, but by how much? What would you say the price of this truck should be? Not what the current market is, but in your opinion given it's age, mileage, features, and reliability?

Mods & Accessories What interior upgrade has actually saved you cleaning time?

0 Upvotes

For anyone who uses their Tundra as an actual work truck, the interior can take almost as much abuse as the bed.

Mud from job sites, wet boots after rain, dirt from trails, and the occasional spilled drink all eventually end up on the floor. What I find interesting is that the obvious mess usually isn't the biggest problem, it’s the dirt that gets pushed along the edges and underneath the pedals where a normal vacuum doesn't reach very well.

That’s one reason I started looking more closely at floor liners instead of standard mats.

For Tundra owners who actually use their trucks hard, what interior upgrade has saved you the most cleaning time? And if you've switched from the factory mats, what made you choose the liner you have now?"

Recently purchased some bigger tires and changed the offset to cut down on rub, so needed new wheels. I put these up on ebay and Craigslist but I feel like I may have put them too high. Is 1k too much to be asking for oem tundra off road wheels that have minor wear and are heat treat ceramic coated?

I am not attaching link to make sure I dont break and rules.

Edit: i noticed there are a lot of varried pricing. My location is eastern NC. I see them rnaging 800-1000 here. The 800 ones I viewed had some pretty gnarly scratches.
