The Toyota Tundra typically has a lifespan of 300,000 to 700,000 miles if properly maintained. However, external factors like driving conditions also play a role. It's essential to be aware of common issues, such as the secondary air injection system's vulnerability to water damage, leading to rust. Toyota offered a warranty extension for affected models. Another concern is the integrated brake controller failing, requiring some owners to install aftermarket replacements for towing purposes. Specific to the 2007-2010 models, there were problems with ineffective floor mat design, causing accelerator issues and Toyota issued a recall for pedal replacements in response. Smooth friction surfaces were also identified as a factor leading to accelerator sticking due to condensation.
The typical lifespan of a Toyota Tundra is around 15 years and 150,000 miles.
My 2003 Tundra recently hit the 20-year mark and has clocked 374,000 miles. I've been diligent about regular maintenance and only use full synthetic oil for changes. While I've had to replace some gaskets, the engine has never encountered any serious issues. It's still performing exceptionally well, just like a champion athlete.
My Tundra is two decades old with 186,000 miles and is still going strong! I intend to keep it and give it a fresh coat of paint to make it look like new.
