V6 turbo in a truck is wild to me
GM puts a four banger turbo in Silverados. It's pretty much the standard engine in < 55k models

My 08 is still getting it. I think she's getting ready to hit 250k this summer.

That’s even more wild. Kind of shows a lot of people are buying trucks who may not actually need a “truck”, IMO.

Ford has done it for years. Their ecoboost didnt have issues like this
The early models had the timing chain issues, but I don't think that's been much of a problem in the 2015+ trucks.

I hope Toyota tanks until they bring back the v8
I thought the entire thing was a government mandate? I got 20 sr5 4wd v8. Love it.

Toyota bois will completely forget about this and still scream quality

Also, GM wouldn’t recall but would deny there are problems.
Change transmission fluid 3 times to get them thru warranty

Turbos are inherently less reliable over time and run hotter than a V8, not really great attributes for something that needs to tow.
And your fuel mileage goes back to suck.

They work fine in semi tractors.
In a couple million miles of driving them, never had a turbo problem.

Correct. The Ecoboost V6 motors have turned out to be pretty reliable.
The Chevy/GMC 2.7L TurboMax engine has also been remarkably reliable as well.
It’s pretty common knowledge that Toyota screwed up the 3.4L Twin Turbo V6. It’s not a reliable package, and it goes beyond the Tundra. The Sequioa and Lexus LX are having issues too.

It’s been a shockingly reliable motor too. Just don’t expect a big fuel economy advantage over a V6 or V8.

For DIESEL ENGINES.

The cab has to come off? Completely asinine. It’ll rattle and squeak after it’s put back together, haphazardly.

A Toyota fanboi chided me for having a preventative head gasket rebuild on an 08 Forester that came with preventive serpentine belt, water pump and something else preventative maintenance package for $1,800 w tax. Nothing was wrong with it but that year still had issues so knocked it out. Still driving it trouble free. I think I’ve put maybe $3000 into that car since I bought it in over 16 years ago and that includes tires, brake job and oil changes.

That's what Toyota should have gone with.

This switchover to the turbo v6 is turning even more into the disaster a lot of people predicted.. they’ll get it figured out if there track record is any indication but turning into the classic.. wait a few years till they get the kinks worked out….

This is why I'm hesitant on the new tacomas and 4runners with that new engine

Yeah. I like them, but they aren’t making a good case to trade in an older Toyota for a new one.
A friend of mine has a 2023 Tundra and it’s been a complete piece of shite for him. But his engine hasn’t completely failed though. A lot of issues with electronics and bodywork.

I wouldn't buy one. I've seen a few YouTube videos about terrible build quality on the new Tacoma. I'm sure Toyota will figure it out in a few years though
