14 Used Trucks Drivers Avoid

11. 2005 to 2008 Toyota Tundra

Like the smaller Tacoma, the full-size Tundra had its share of troubles, especially during the 2005 to 2008 model years. They were also part of massive recall that covered hundreds of thousands of Toyota pickups. Buyers also reported a few issues with the paint, the electronics and the secondary air pump.

Despite its decent performance and power, the 5.7-liter V8 engine was loud and had cold piston slap sounds. Even though this sound is not connected with possible engine failure, buyers should be aware when shopping for a 2005 to 2008 Toyota Tundra.

Also, the interior is dull and there aren’t many options. In some cases, the paint could peel, especially on the roof. Those issues are with trucks in warm areas with a lot of sunshine that affects the paint on the roof of the vehicle.
