    I have found this original Toyota Master Diagnostic mechanic that now owns his own garage to be very honest on his reviews and how to videos. He is one of those fussy has to be perfect mechanics that we all want to find.

    I used this particular review for things to watch for when buying a used Tundra (gen 2 & 2.5).

    He specifically says these are very reliable trucks but these are the things may need to be addressed via maintenance and repair. Most are not widespread.

    This video put me over the decision edge to purchase a used Tundra.
