This thread has been fun to read. The "widdle wadder" video was highlight if you ask me. Happy with my 2016 hope to drive it till it dies on me. Hope nothing happens to it cause while I might replace it with GX550 I not sure I would love that as much as I love my LC200. I can say with certainty the only Toyota product I might buy is Tacoma with 6speed. It would be to replace my aging T100 assuming I run into something on that truck that I can not fix or just don't want to. Just got wife an IS500 and hope to run that for next 15 years. Nothing in automotive world sold in America that interest me in any way right now. I can also say that I hope to never have to own an Electric or Hybrid vehicle. I have had them as rentals or loaners and I very much dislike them. So here is to hoping I can keep what I currently have accident free and on the road.
Unclemat has a point. A twin turbo 4.5L diesel v8 putting out 479 ft-lb of torque at 1600-2600 rpm is not in the same ballpark as a twin turbo 2.4L 4cyl gas engine putting out 317 ft-lb of torque at 430-4500 rpm or even a twin turbo v6 gas engine, especially when it comes to doing truck things.Your friendly reminder that Toyota has been putting turbos in Land Cruisers for about 40 years
These twin turbo v6s in the Tundra (and EcoBoost for that matter) put out quite a bit more torque than the big v8 gasser engines in the base model HD domestic trucks, especially the hybrid variant. Why do they not come standard in the HD domestic trucks? They're more efficient and more powerful. Maybe you'll say it's because gas v8s are cheaper, and domestic HDs are excluded from federal CAFE standards. Well, why is that? It's because those trucks are actually expected to do truck things, and under-stressed big-displacement gas v8s hold up doing those tasks far longer than forced induction small displacement gas v6s.
get ready for valley plate leak on is500
our isf and rcf both had it
otherwise great machine … althought at 75k, gsf is a good used gem

He's harmless. And poor. Very poor. But not his wife. She goes outdoors. She has a different 570 for each weekday and a Heritage Edition for the weekends.
you forgot to compliment my intelligence to marry such a woman
absolutely well done, sir
So, tell me why you guys think a slightly used/pampered 2023 LX600 (instead of a smoothie-maker engine 250 or a light duty GX550 Prados) is not a good replacement for a 200? This would be for the occasional road trip offroad once or twice a year and the other 70% on road duties. I have been following these in the used market and deals can be had at around $95k for an F-sport or $90k for a basic premium with no AHC. Can we pass that stupid nose (in black of course) and bear the Lexus badge leaving the stealth-wealth behind? School me, please.
They’re popping up on the FaceBook Tundra groups here and there.
It appears to be more rare than the 2022 models since they did change some of the main bearing parts, but remember, the bearing failures typically aren’t showing up in the first 10k miles, but rather 10-30k miles on the rig so it takes some time for them to pop up. Some have experienced the failure above 30k miles. It’s a total crapshoot on when it happens and the only warning sign is that you start to get terrible MPG for a day while the bearing is starting to excessively wear.
I see. I haven't had a Facebook account since 2020. Mud has replaced FB for me.
I know about the engine issues, but isn't it supposed to be only with the 22s? Those I can see dealers can't move at all and prices are tanking from what I have seen.
Toyota is basically saying the V35A-FTS bearing-eating issue is limited to a specific date range due to improper cleaning—mostly 2022s and some 2023s. That doesn’t hold any water for me because although they’re rarer, we are still seeing failures in 2024 and allegedly 2025. Until we know exactly what the cause is and the remedy, I’m not interested in touching any model that uses that engine, LX600 included.
OK. But LXs or only Tundras? I know it maybe the same engine, but would not it be weird to have the issues only in Tundras?
across the board on all TTV6
100000% correct
same problem since 2018… still no fix
LS500 owners arent as vocal as Tundra bois
Same engine. Both the plant in Alabama and the one in Japan have produced bearing failures. They didn't even start building that engine in the states until the '22 Tundra debuted (called the type '21). This failure is documented years prior to that with Lexus (type '17).
Type '17 and type '21 are not substantially different engines, regardless of what anyone at Toyota has said.
