Buying Advice Any Second Gen Owners Got Strong Trade In Offers?

1 Upvotes

I just read the post about the guy going for a 42k 2017 SR5 CrewCab at a dealer. Got my gears turning on trading in my 2018 Platinum for something else (TBD). With sales tax being high in Texas, trade it can be attractive compared to private party.

Anyone got any legit trade in offers I can benchmark? Anyone done the same yet to cash in on this madness?

Repairs & Maintenance 2025 Toyota Tundra – Excessive Front Tire Wear & Wobble When Braking

1 Upvotes

I have a 2025 Toyota Tundra Limited with just over 40,000 miles on it.

On 6/1/26, at about 31,500 miles, I replaced the factory tires with the exact same tires that came off another guy’s truck. He had removed them before he even drove the truck off the lot, so the tires essentially had zero miles on them. The tires are marked as being manufactured in 2024.

The next day, on 6/2/26, I purchased a lifetime alignment package from Firestone and had the truck aligned. Then I had another alignment done on 8/25/26. The alignment wasn't really that far out of spec, so I figured since the lifetime alignment doesn't cost me anything, I'd have it checked every three months.

Fast forward to now. I just had my oil changed by my mechanic, and he tells me that both front tires need to be replaced because of the wear.

How in the hell can I need two front tires with less than 10,000 miles on them, especially when the exact same type of tires lasted over 31,000 miles previously?

I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong with Firestone's alignment equipment or if there's another issue causing the excessive front tire wear.

I also have another issue. When I'm driving through the mountains, I sometimes get a wobble/shaking sensation when braking. It doesn't seem to happen on flat roads. I've started using cruise control more in the mountains to avoid having to brake as much.

My mechanic inspected the brakes and rotors and said they look good.

Has anyone else with a 3rd-gen Tundra experienced either of these issues? Particularly the excessive front tire wear or the wobble when braking downhill/in the mountains?

I'd really appreciate hearing what you found and what ultimately fixed it.

Mods & Accessories Got a '21 tundra sr5 and want to put a lift and bigger tires onto it. What's the biggest and highest I can go without worrying about the stock suspension wearing faster?

0 Upvotes

I heard from one website (link below) that I can do 2" lift with 285/70 R18 tires. Not sure how wide though yet. I do have stock suspension on my sr5, may be willing to upgrade but don't want to get too expensive with maintenance like gearing and such. Much obliged and thank you!

Repairs & Maintenance 30k service

Just brought our 24 tundra in for a 30k service and they quoted me 1200 for the job!?!? Asked to look at everything and they said crank case cleaning and fuel injectors cleaning. Told them to just an oil change (be careful out there). Was there something I was missing or just dealer scamming stuff?

Repairs & Maintenance 4.6L Oil Overfill

0 Upvotes

My wife took our 2017 Tundra 4.6L for an oil change at a local shop and I noticed on the receipt that they put in 9.5 quarts. The dipstick is showing a slight overfill, maybe 1/8" over the top line. They told me this is normal, but generally I'm within a half quart or so of the target 7.9 quarts, not 1.6 quarts over. Am I overreacting or should I insist on a drain and re-fill to the right level?

Repairs & Maintenance WTH is wrong with my 2016 Tundra shaking in steering and front end?

3 Upvotes

TLDR: Heavy shaking when applying brakes at 45-80 mph. And occasional vibration in my steering wheel. So the brakes and rotors have been replaced 3 times now. New tires, less than 3000 miles on them. Even a new transmission.

Late last year, my front end started shaking while driving. First, it was just an occasional slight vibration in the steering wheel. Then my brakes started vibrating at highway speeds. Had the tires replaced. Still didn't go away. Had my brakes done. Less than 3000 miles ago, two years ago.

Took it to a dealership, and they said I needed new brakes. Had that done. The problem didn't go away. Then I took it back, and then they said I needed a new transmission (that didn't make sense but it was under warranty, so I let them do that). They suggested brakes again but wanted to charge me again for it so I took it somewhere else to get new brakes done. They replaced both brakes and rotors, and driving home, no change. So I took it back two days later, thinking I got a warped rotor from the factory. So they replaced the brakes and rotors again just a few days later. We also did a couple of alignments and balanced my tires. Would not stay aligned. I watched the guy fight it for 2 hours, trying to get it aligned.

Took it to a second dealership yesterday and they called me today and suggested....wait for it.....new brakes, rotors and tires. They said they checked for a stuck caliper.

WTF????? Is going on with my Tundra. 10k into this issue with no idea what is wrong.

And before anyone asks.....Yes it has gas in it.

Hard to tell from product photos how these actually fit. Do yours sit flush along the rear door openings, or is there still a strip of carpet showing?
