As noted above, I've had two Toys with major problems. Toyota is no better than anyone else. As product cycles have speeded up, they have taken more risk. What is interesting to me is the Consumer Reports data on reliability and owner satisfaction for full size 2020 and 21 trucks. The 2020 Toyota Tundra is the most reliable. But that's the only thing that's good about it. It gets a horrible review. It sucks gas, it rides like crap. Its dated inside.
Guess which truck comes in second in reliability and best overall: Its the 2020 Ram 1500 Classic. It also ranks second on the road test to only the newbody Ram 1500. By CR's criteria the Ram Classic 1500 is the best overall truck on the market. The bad news: the newbody Ram 1500 is one of the least reliable, and as a result its overall score is lower (in the middle of the pack). Otherwise the new body Ram 1500 gets a fantastic review, the ecodiesel especially so. It's the highest scoring full size truck on their road test that they've ever had. FYI: Both Chevy and Ford scores worse.
So, even Consumer Reports thinks the new Toyota Tundra is hard to live with, despite its supposedly high reliability. And given my own experience with Toys, I am kind of skeptical of their reliability. So I bought a newbody Ram 1500.
How can anything 2020 be considered reliable when it’s what, less than a year old at best?...lol. If it has any problems within the first year of age, that’s probably not necessarily a reliability issue, it’s more of a manufacturing defect that can be corrected.
