When did Toyota put 5.7 engine in tundra?
I have only enjoyed my 2015 Tundra CM 1794 for about a year now, but they put 5.7 in tundras around 2007 and it is 2019 and the same engine is still being used only a few small changes that tells me it is a great engine. So I don’t think you will have any problems as long as you keep it maintained. BarcelonaSX likes this.
