"I have a 2007 Tundra and it has issues. Does anyone know where to find the TSB's for the 2007 model year? My latest issue is while driving, the transmission will slip, making a horrible "clunk" noise. The serpentine belt is cracked with only 17k miles. I only get about 14mpg---and I drive it very easy. I just want the dealership to take all TSB's and check out my truck. So far I have had both bumpers replaced, transfer case replaced along with the front left axle. I love the look and drive of this truck, but am greatly disappointed in toyota quality. Are they having the same problems with the Sequoia? If anyone can help it would be appreciated."

Both bumpers and the left front axle. Wow. If anyone can help it would be appreciated? lol. Yeah, buy a Ford.

Found this story on the rusting Toyo frames. Looks darn nasty.

What's going on is the Toyo "tripleflex"
frames twist so much that they're breaking apart. Much like when you take a piece of metal and bend it back and forth, eventually it breaks. How does Toyo really expect their "trucks" to last when they twist and move so severely over the slightest bumps? Like almost everything else Toyota builds these days they're only designed to last as long as the lease.
Damn straight!! What is it you drive again?

My wife works for a Toyota dealership and she brought one home to be in a 4th of July parade a couple of years ago and I drove it and told her it was real nice.....For a car with a pickup bed on it. I come real close buying one for the company as a service vehicle until i saw these clips.
