I haven't been on edmunds in quite a while and i guess i will once again report on how my Tundra is doing!! 5.7 L V8 2x4 Bought in March '07 Currently at 48,762 miles on my truck But Gas Mileage is dropping!!!!! My current Average mileage is listed at 15.6 MPG worst in March so far has been 11.2, while my best has only been 19.4 (not even 20 MPG), I don't know why but November-January I was averaging between 16.5 and 21 MPG!! And know in March I'm not even getting 20!!! I go to all the services and I keep my truck in pretty well shape!! Anybody else having some problems like me?  Please reply Back!!

Replying to: toddhm (Mar 26, 2008 9:47 am) The rumors I have been hearing is not much in the way of changes till 2010-2011. The rumors also consist of a 1 ton diesel, dual wheeled truck. Given Toyota's 4 to 5 year cycle for model changes I don't think we'll see much till 2012 styling-wise. |

Hello all, I am considering the purchase of a 2008 Tundra 5.7 that was manufactured in late 2007. Have the issues with the 5.7 (knock, etc.) been isolated to a certain period of production, and if so, after what month of production have the issues been addressed and corrected on the assembly line? Is there a way to check the VIN on the particular truck I am purchasing to ensure that it is unaffected? Please help.....

Replying to: toddhm (Apr 07, 2008 6:26 am) I would not sweat it over this "knock" issue. I own new Tundra myself and have several friends and relatives with the same 5.7 liter V8. None of which have had any issues with their new Tundras. Knowing Toyota and how they operate, if there is a problem, it's been addressed. Take the advice from the other poster and drive the vehicle you intend to purchase. Getting the VIN early will not tell you much as a consumer. Your local dealer should have the full VIN prior to it hitting their lot if you would like to have that. If you are ordering the truck special your local dealer should be able to tell you by their inventory sheet some sort of estimated production week and an ETA on it's arrival to their dealership. Toyota is real good about quality control and keeping track of what's happening and when. I am positive if there is this "knock" issue that measures have been in place to remedy it. This 1st I've heard of it was scanning through these forum messages. No one that I talk to with a '07 or '08 Tundra w/ the 5.7 liter have had or heard of this "problem". |
