2022 Tundra Crew Max

I think we all knew this would happen. More to come i suspect.

Yea-and you got to lift the body off the frame to access the turbos that are behind the engine-just in front of the firewall to fix the issue.

Wait, WHAT?
And I thought Bmw V8 is unfriendly to work on.

A least while it's broken you can still admire it's beauty.

My local Ford dealer has a special bay out back to remove the cab from the frame. Seen them do it many times.

The Toyota Youtuber said it's $2,000.00 to remove the cab-and put it back on.

And only thing they had to do is ask BMW for another engine

$41k MSRP SR.
This plain Jane a bit *****...

Whats the cost of an XL crew cab F150 with a 2.7 or 3.5? I bet its +/- $1000 of that.

Edit: I checked for myself. A 2.7L Supercrew XL 2x4 with literally no options is $40,535. A 3.5L is $41935. I know the SR is detuned but its still more powerful than a 2.7 EB.

I kinda wonder if this is really true, that the cab MUST be pulled. I have seen people lift the cab to swap the exhaust manifolds on a 3.5L Ecoboost but you can also just go through the wheel wells. Ive done mine and the wheel wells worked perfectly fine.

There is already a picture floating around of a broken truck with the entire body pulled off the frame at a dealership for a turbo problem. A dealer is going to follow the factory's directions, especially this early in the new release of a truck, even though there could be shortcuts. The turbo is directly behind the motor in front of the firewall-kind of tucked under the dash-or at least this is what has been shared by others.

I am aware. I am on Tundras.com every day.

What I am saying is I bet its not necessary. Like if you had the issue out of warranty, like when my exhaust manifold warped, you could do it in your garage in a few hours through the wheel well.

The F150 turbos are in the same place. The sit parallel with the rear of the motor:

The Tundra turbos can't be much farther back than this since they are mounted directly to the head. unless the whole motor is recessed into the fire wall I can't figure out why its such an issue.

Some are concerned about the waste gate issue.

From what I understand it's "common" to do a cab-off to work on a Ford. So do we give a pass to Ford's for that, or condemn both? [Personally I'd condemn both, but that's just me.]

Teething pains, old story here: avoid the first year of anything.

Yes we do if the vehicle was designed from the beginning to remove the cab and if it isn't extremely difficult or time consuming. If an after thought then no pass.

True-but right now many have taken delivery and there have reportedly been issues with 4 trucks. Will there be more? It's hard to say. One poster had 7,500 miles on his new Tundra and no issues.
