Would you buy a 2025 Tundra?

We had a few local dealers that were refusing to take the 22+ Tundras in on trade at all. No kick in the balls lowball offers, but rather we don’t want it at all.
That was enough to discourage me.

local dealer hear (sales guy at least) claims they've never seen any issues with the 3.4... 😆
2.5 gen tundras are more expensive than 3rd gens around here

If their theory regarding the cause turns out to be untrue, then a redesign and more recalls will be needed; $$$. Or... they'll just run with what they got?

That's an actuarial problem... does the cost of recalls and brand degradation exceed cost to change engine? If so, they'll do it. If not, they'll continue on.

Exactly... People who have no idea how things get made were crying that Toyota had 15 years to make the new Tundra "perfect"... but it's a low volume vehicle that has to survive on a low R&D budget... or not survive. Time isn't a factor. i doubt Toyota cares very much if the Tundra lives or dies.

Maybe it's not too late to fire up the 2.5 line and call it the "Tundra Classic"...
