Who has the highest mileage w/o engine failure

My 2022 has 54,000 miles with no signs of failure. Obviously it can still happen but it seems that the more miles you put on the less chances of engine failure.

 

this is a positive!

 

There have been several 150-175k mile ones for sale on Autotrader. Currently the highest one is 165k miles.

Whether they have had an engine replacement is not stated. But if you put on 175k in less than 3 years unlikely your rig has been sidelined for 3-4 months waiting on short block parts.

For trends it seems hard to find one with failures here.

 

It’s very likely (and it seems the case from Toyota’s numbers) that actual engine failure is rare. Don’t get me wrong, failure from manufacturing QC issues shouldn’t happen at all. But the prevalence is severely amplified by the nature of the internet. Every other truck manufacturer has some series of known issue (I had a 2019 Chevy Silverado in the shop every 3 months for major electric issues). So it’s a combination of Toyota owners amplifying the signal because Toyota really did mess up here. And also YouTubers dunking on Toyota because finally there’s a major mechanical issue that their favorite brand has been dealing with for years.

 

Well, it's also severely amplified by the manufacturer telling buyers their engine might fail. Just sayin...

 

GM fur example had a contaminatiin

Engine failures are a fact of life. Every OEM has a small % every production run annually. Even 6 sigma quality is not 0% failure.

 

I’d sure hope that they’d send notice. Like I said, it’s not OK to have those QC issues. I say this as a Gen 3 owner. But I’m also coming off of a terrible experience with Chevy and five years of GM failing to even address (let alone commit to fix) glaring issues. From what I’m seeing, at least Toyota will stand by their product.

 

Now Ford doing full engine replacements on 91k 2021 and 2022 2.7L and 3.0L vehicles.

2020s not a great decade for engines .

 

Nearly 30k on my 2023. Commuting from Arizona to Oregon.

 

92k on my 22 Platinum. Truck drives like a dream. Had early tsb’s and recalls done. I’ve done my brakes around 60k. Love this truck. If it’s any consolation I’ve had a bunch of Tundras and never had a problem with any of them. I have more miles on this truck than I’ve had on any of my other Tundras

 

What do these recalled Toyota and Ford engines all have in common? TURBOCHARGERS

 

@Eurodriver What did you have on your 22. Seems to me you were the reigning high mileage king for a while.

 

Yeah but with the Toyota you got hanging chads N/C.

 

On all social media the complainers are winning. Based on the majority of the things talked about on this forum most people wouldn't buy a Tundra!

 

Ford's engine issue is a bad batch of valves that they estimate to affect approximately 1% of the engines in the recall. Ford will test the engine to determine if replacement is needed, not the same thing as the Tundra recall. 900 or so engines compared to almost 100k engines is definitely a sizable difference.

In reference to above, turbos have nothing to do with either failure. Do you really believe a bad batch of valves or leftover machining debris wouldn't wreak havoc on NA motors? I get you obviously have a hate boner for turbos, but connect the dots man.

That said, I've owned several turbo motors and never had an issue with any of them. If you take care of them and treat them right, they will treat you right in return. Abuse anything, including an NA motor, and it won't end well. It'll just end faster with a turbo motor.

 

Ford will “test” the engine to see if it needs a new one….lol

 

Has me wondering. Oral, written or override the rev limiter and mash the throttle for two minutes?

 

Glad you mentioned this. Now in watching 'The Car Care Nut' guy on YouTube (former Toyota Mech) who has made several videos on Toyota's. He says no way should you just start up your Tundra (Turbo Charged) and just take off with very little warm up and/or stop and just turn off your engine when you stop at your destination with no cool down. He stresses engine wear and damage or at least decreased life of your engine. OK, well if you've been driving for a time and get caught in traffic, you do have the engine start/stop feature when you stop if you forget to shut it off. He says it is what it is, they are turbo's. I did check the price of blown turbo's and they are about 4G's each (if not covered on your warranty). My question to Toyota is, if today's turbo's are prone to excessive wear & possible damage, then why the 'engine start/stop' in the first place. It is easy to forget to sit there and force engine cool down. Maybe I'm looking at this through the wrong looking glass.

 

200K+

 

Ya I was wondering about that start/stop function as well with a turbo, especially in the desert during a traffic jam.

but 2nd gens fail as well

No Dog in this fight

Turbos are not new nor are they a weak point of a power plant today. Real simple change the oil, one more time change the oil. Use the best quality oil filter you can buy. Keep cooling system up to date.

Cool down after a long hard drive if you remember. Shutting down with not cause the turbo to explode. It is just good practice to allow a motors oil to cool a bit and maintain pressure as the compressor wheel slows down.

I have driven diesel for many years, literally hundreds of thousands of miles on each motor, clean oil is good for the turbo, clean fuel filter is good for injectors and pump.

To date I am very happy with my Toyota product and service

 

If the Tundra is like the Ecoboost engines, the coolant continues to flow through the turbos to cool them down after shut off. Plus, in most stop/start situations, the engine isn’t off long enough to cause the oil to coke the bearings. It’s fine. That said, I idle mine for 2-3 minutes after running on the freeway or towing to give some cooldown time.
