Is the Water pump Life only 60k on the 3UR-FE 5.7?

[Fisher23]

I was reading this article here and it said the life of the water pump was approx 60,000 miles.
(Usually they get this information from a mean time to failure test report.)

Is the water pump a 60k maintenance item?

The 3UR-FE Engine Problems and Reliability
The 3UR-FE is the most reliable and durable engine for all UR engine family. The Toyota made over 1.3 million kilometers of durability testing for this engine. In reality, the 3UR-Fe can run more than 400,000 miles (650,000 km) smoothly with regular maintenance with using high-quality fuel and oil.

But nothing is perfect and this engine too. The 3UR-FE has a problem with coking of the piston oil rings which caused high oil consumption. After that, the oil consumption increases over time. To avoid this problem, use only the recommended high-quality oil and watch the oil level. The 3UR-FE crankcase ventilation system sensor fails hugely often, and electronic throttle system ETCS-i is not as reliable as it should be. The problem with water pump is also found in this engine. Like other UR engines, the 3UR-FE has a leaking water pump with short life about 60,000 miles (100,000 km).

That site is pure click bait - no legit organization is associated with that site. I wouldn't trust anything published on that site.

Clear as mud?

I've seen many weeping at 85-95k including my own fwiw. We sell more water pumps for 200's than 80 Series

You should definitely believe anything written in broken English.

I’m watching mine closely but have 90k on my 2015 without any leaking yet. Fingers crossed......

I guess our ‘14 with 67,000 miles is about ready to pop…

 

[skitym]

I have 200,000 miles on mine with no leaks.

 

[Rigger]

My Tundra water pump failed at 85k. I have a spare already for my 200.

My water pump crapped out at 69,000 miles on my 2015 LC

 

[Tennessee80]

We have a 2016 that has almost 101,000 miles with no issues.

Well said.

Changed mine at 240k, not leaking but figured I was on borrowed time.

For whatever reason, when I bought my 08’ used with 48k miles on it…it had already had water pump replaced. 100k since then, no issues…but we’ll see. Also…re oil consumption mentioned in thread…mine is not consuming oil badly at all, even with hard, heavy, hot use.
