Purchasing a 2025 Tundra

Hello All!
Im a newbie here to the forum and so proud to be here!
Im looking to trade in my 2021 Tundra Limited for a new 2025 of the same. Only 100K on her but excited about the new ones. My question is..should i get a new one? I heard about transmission and window problems...maybe corrected by now.
Many thanks yall!

 

The 2030 model is the one you want to wait on.

 

Lots of reading to do on the motor recall… 2024s and 2025s are showing up on the “motor down” spreadsheet so even the new trucks haven’t been fixed yet. Toyota is only offering a 12 month / 12K warranty on recalls and aren’t giving loaner trucks, instead giving people small rental cars for 2-3 months or more. If you have hybrid or a truck outside the recall window and your motor grenades, you might end up with a crappy short block repair. Caveat emptor.

 

Not true in many cases. If you read the Post Engine Swap Experiences thread, you'll see many owners of recalled trucks were given Tundras for loaners, and most of the engine swaps only took 2-3 days, with excellent results.

 

Yes, you’re right, for long blocks but that’s not going to be the case if someone buys a newer Tundra and has a motor failure. In those cases, Toyota is initially doing a short block, and there’s no guarantee of them expanding the recall to any of the hybrids or to newer years that are not part of the phased recalls now. So a guy like the OP here, if he’s unlucky enough to have a motor fail, may well end up with a short block repair as the final remedy from Toyota. The majority of owners with blown motors aren’t getting tundra loaners, and Toyota is only reimbursing customers for compact rentals.

 

That's entirely different than the portion of your post I quoted. Nice crab walk.

I'm not defending how Toyota is handling trucks outside of the recall. But, I think the OP deserves an honest answer.

The situation sucks, no doubt, but Gen 2 guys seem to enjoy making it worse than it actually is.

 

They are just envy because they cannot afford one, ignore them.
My first 2024 was a lemon. After checking all "big three" now i'm sure, 3rd gen is the best for now. None of them come even close to 3rd gen not in features, not in price.
There are some issues, but toyota, contrary to ram, ford and shevy/Gm is trying to resolve them instead of sweeping it under the rug.

 

This thread is about purchasing a 2025 Tundra, not how Toyota is handling 2022s under the recall. If a 2025 motor grenades, he won’t be part of the recall and he will be getting a short block repair. The only ones making it worse are folks on Toyota’s PR team, as they keep claiming the “manufacturing” issue has been resolved and shortly thereafter, new motors start locking up, and they create a new boogey man. That’s the truth… caveat emptor.

 

Very often not the case. I'd even wager that the vast majority could afford it, but opted not to buy the truck for various reasons. Just because somebody doesn't want to buy what you buy doesn't mean they're poor. These types of responses are what have given the 3rd gen owners a bad name and a reputation for being defensive and sensitive.

FYI, not excusing the poor treatment dished out by some previous gen owners, but a lot of the 3rd gen owners are as bad or worse.

 

Endless threads like this.
2/2.5 gen peeps gonna say don’t do it.
3rd gen owners gonna say go for it.
Can you provide insight on why you want / need a new truck?

 

where is op?

 

Do it! One way or another, there will be a happy Tundra owner.

 

Probably there is a lot in what you say, but please explain, what is the reason for bushing something one does not have any idea of? Just stupidity? Can't be, too easy. So, envy? gloat? any other reasons for making judgements and statements about something they do not have any idea off? LOL....
I can tell one thing, while my first 2024 platinum was in repair for over a month i got a 2021 tundra from the dealership. I could not even compare them. They are on a different level.

 

I'm guessing you meant "bashing?" Well, your premise is flawed because you are assuming that anyone not getting a 3rd gen "does not have any idea" about it. That's deeply dishonest because you don't have to own something to research it, test drive it, talk to those that have it, etc., but admitting that would mean that you'd have to acknowledge that someone else can have their own opinion that conflicts with your own without being stupid or envious.

Are you capable of that? That's not a gotcha, either. It's a genuine question. Can you respect another's opinion without it being in agreement with your own?

 

I would go sit in a 20k Corolla that's on the dealer lot then sit in the 50k+ tundra, make the decision then.

I could not believe the 20k interior of the Corolla had way more design input, 2 tone interior, multiple diff trim accent colors multiple colors of stitching, soft touch everywhere vs my 56k tundra that had such poor fit and finish, complete with if you touched the door/window seals they would not return back to their stuck on state, it was like glued with paper glue sticks for kids or something, and the sea of black with hard plastic everywhere

 

Is winter over?! WTF already,what's up with all of the crabby Mc Crabs lately?!



OP I think you'll be happy with all of the up grades in the newly re designed Tundra.
