Known problem areas
- TRD Pro Fox 2.5 shocks (high odds, $1,400–$2,600): Factory Fox shocks wear out with miles and dirt use on a 5,700 lb SUV. source
- Water pump (medium odds, $700–$1,200): Bearing/seal wear; coolant smell, low coolant. source
- Secondary air injection pump/valves (3UR-FE) (low odds, $2,500–$3,500): Moisture gets into the air injection pumps/air switching valves: check-engine light (P2440-series) and limp mode. Toyota's 10yr/150k ZG6 extension covered 2007-2011 Tundra and 2008-2011 Sequoia only; no program for later trucks. Dealer repair is expensive; aftermarket valves or bypass are cheaper. source
- Cam tower oil seep (low odds, $2,500–$4,500): FIPG breaks down; a full fix is a timing-chain-off job. Many owners live with minor seepage. source
