Bulletproof?  No.  They have their issues.   Plenty of disappointed crapota owners out there. I'm one of them.  But they certainly have a better reputation than any of the others out there, that's true. 

we've been patiently waiting more than six months now for you to list all of their issues......Son.

Wow, how sad.  You have no ability to go do your own research.  Grow a set, please.

oh, I have.....Son.  Folks over at the Tundra site are just really enjoying life and their ultra reliable and functioning as intended vehicles.  

 

I've also now learned you can't win an argument with an idiot

My 2020 6.2L makes a similar noise. Just over 5,000 km on it. GM says it’s normal and not doing damage?

Or someone who uses the word "Son" when talking to people on a public forum board. Seriously what are you 12 years old, are the rubber and glue cracks next here, grow up!

Boring but bulletproof and reliable so you can actually enjoy life.  Plus the Toyotas have the highest resale value on the market.  
 

GM truck owners are going to be left with a giant money pit once the warranty expires.

I had a 2013 Tundra 4x4 until I traded it in for my 19 Silverado Z71 LT.  Only issues I ever encountered with the Tundra was the 4x4 not engaging properly and it flashing on the dash.  Then having to wait for it "unlock" or try some other method to undo the 4x4.  Silverado had the same issue years ago.

 

No other issues with my Tundra.  It's bulletproof compared to these newer Silverado's.

Yes, it is true, the 2-HI to 4-HI and 4-HI to 2-LO will not always engage properly on the Toyotas if you do not "cycle" the transfer case actuator and front differential actuator on a monthly basis.  This cycling maneuver is clearly outlined within the owners manual.  The shift yokes within each actuator tend to gum up from lack of use and it can take several cycling attempts to free them up.

I actually found it to happen more below 50 degree's outside, whether or not the engine/trans was cold or warm.  Above that, it would always engage and disengage properly whether the engine/trans was cold or warm..  I had to let it sit overnight before it would free up a majority of the time.

Ok so I can't guarantee this will fix your issue, but I'm pretty sure it was mine. My truck made a similar noise to the video on the original post, and I could not figure it out. GM was no help. So, to anyone who has this noise and it's not just your DI system, CHECK YOUR IGNITION COILS AND PLUG WIRES! Somehow one of the plugs on mine loosened and was arking to the header, causing the tick (I believe) and when the engine warmed up, for whatever reason it stopped arking. This could also be a cause for poor, choppy idle if the plug is far enough away from the spark plug head. Probably not a fix all for everyone, but worth a shot.

my idle started to get pretty rough around the 12k mark. I have a friend who is a GM tech so we hooked up the scanner and the truck had a misfire at idle but wasn't enough to set a hard fault. 

Gm can say all they want that this noise isn't doing any damage but this is always their default statement with motor issues.  I can almost 100% guarantee  that its a lazy lifter that GM knows about but has no interest in fixing for people.  You can tell its a lifter issues because the noise almost goes away with a fresh oil change.  You may not see any major failures from this right away but a lazy lifter WILL cause issues down the road. By the time it does it will be on your dime.

It is called MTBF.  Hence the reason why GM offers a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty.   If GM produced a quality product, their warranty would be considerably longer.  The GM actuaries determined a few years back their 5yr/60,000 mile warranty was reducing profitability due to vehicle components failing before the warranty period expired.  So, GM in true fashion simply reduced their warranty period.  

 

In addition to offering a reduced warranty, GM has also patented the "cannot duplicate", "functioning as intended", and "the ECM did not record any trouble codes, therefore your problem doesn't exist".

I may be way off track here but, any possibility of this being carbon build up?

The new 3rd gen tacomas do have some issues. Not nearly as many as the new Silverado. I replaced my truck with a 2015 Tacoma(last year of the second gen). Its not the most fancy truck but at least it runs right and the brakes don't randomly fail. 

 

Not sure why people are giving heat on the tundra interior. The new Silverado interior isn't that much better and its a newly designed truck.
