Reliability is really blown out of proportion on the new Tundras. There were some very early trucks with bad wastegates and they changed the supplier for the part. The trucks are way too damn new still to know what reliability is going to be like. But obviously, with more tech and more moving parts, comes more potential for problems
You do have a point, but there are a lot of them broken. I’ve got 2 2022s waiting for new turbos, and a 2023 in for a complete engine and two turbos. Also had a complete transmission and transfer case replacement two weeks ago.
Remember when the 5.7 came out in the 2nd Gen Tundra for 2007 they had some camshaft failures among some other first generational type problems. Now the 5.7 is regarded as a very reliable engine and has joined the ranks of the 4.7 2UZ and 4.0 1UZ from the LS400 as being some of the most reliable engines period. I’m not saying the new Tundra motor is on the same level but give it some time and Toyota will work out the bugs. They have made some pretty impressive Turbo engines in the past.
