It can happen but what I respect from Toyota is when they stepped up to the plate on my 88 4x4 in 1999 (11 years old) and acknowledged  a problem with the front driveshaft bushings. They gave me a free Tacoma loaner and a free axle replacement. The truck was 11 years old and had 220k kms... I would but a Toyota again in a heartbeat. Likely a 4Runner or I'll bush up a 460GX.

This is how you address a problem unlike GM who told me to FO and take my still under warranty Pontiac G8 GT with me... It  had a serious piston slap issue and essentially they told me  "yeah some are like that  but we won't fix it..) I will NEVER buy a new GM because of that.

Looks like a few teething problems with some Tundra's.

Toyota should have kept in simple. Whiz bang tech = whiz bang problems. Keep the 5.7L and add a 4.0L I6 and be done with it. turbo schmerbo.

I can hear that auxiliary fan turning on from here...

Agree 100%.

I wonder if they could've done a naturally aspirated V6 Hybrid to have the power of a V8.

[bridgecity]

Eff me.  Pull the engine or remove the cab to change the wastegate essentially?  I thought this was a proven powerplant used in Lexus vehicles?  I guess maybe it is but obviously the truck would have specific parts.

The simplicity of my old '07 is a lovely thing.  I understand technology must march on though.

I remember when I was truck shopping, they had a beautiful Tundra in the army green that really caught my eye. To me, it was the last of the proper trucks, solid build quality, V8 simplicity, and long term durability. None of these turbo, DI, hybrid crap is going to be around in 15-20 years with 500k kms on them.

I wonder if they developed a V8 that runs the Atkinson cycle and have the hybrid system support it, what the fuel economy and power figures would be.  I know that the Atkinson cycle doesn't make a lot of power, but even if it's around 300ish hp, they could add 150hp of FWD power and still be competitive.  That would allow them to avoid the turbo complications, keep the V8 bullet proof, and use their more familiar hybrid tech to bring it up to being competitive with others.

No point having a V8 in 20 years when gas is $5/L.

That will be an even bigger point. When everyone is driving some sad sack, electric Hyundai, you get to enjoy life.

This is so simple to address. . Simply hold some crude oil futures or substantial holdings in companies who have crude oil reserves.. Premium heading to $2/L short term? Who cares the petroleum side of my portfolio is up 500%...

Make of it what you will. No comment.

^^ It will  be interesting  to see how this translates into fuel economy numbers. Especially compared to the F150 hybrid.

nice explanation on the tundra hybrid system Vs the other hybrids

Sounds like a copy cat from a competitor’s design to me…[emoji851][emoji851][emoji851][emoji851]

Toyota has previously said that the new hybrid in the Tundra was more about performance and less about fuel economy.  I think the term they used to describe their goal was "technical muscle".

I don't think that's what they should have done, if that's the case.  Toyota Hybrid's are known and sold based on fuel economy, not to add extra muscle.  The biggest complaint about the old Tundra wasn't that it was an old design, interior, etc, it was fuel economy (I'm talking about owner complaints, not reviewers or armchair critics).
