Debating a lightly used truck and have been eyeing F150's but...

Seeing a lot of gently used '22 Tundras with low mileage. I know there have been reports of pretty widespread wastegate issues, is the number of well priced, low mileage, new model Tundras a sign to stay away?

I assume these are still covered under factory warranties but unless I'm mistaken lemon laws only apply to original owners.

I have one that I got in May and thankfully no issues. Already have 13k miles on it.

If it’s the issue that I remember it was only on SR5 models.

The wastegate issue wasn’t that big of a deal. Toyota figured out the production run numbers that were affected and recalled them for a fix I believe. All first runs will have some type of issue.

Those low mileage “used” vehicles are flips. Tundras, Lightnings, Broncos, Rivians, etc etc.

Agree with others that those are probably "flips". The price of used vehicles was so out of control you could buy a new one cheaper than used so folks were buying them and then reselling quicker than normal. With all that said, I'm going to hang on to my '17 until it's dead or the wheels fall off.

I wouldn’t buy a first year model of any vehicle. But I’d buy a second year Tundra

Well Car and driver does not Recommend 2023 Tundras. Don't know about 2022s except they were ranked last out of all full size trucks
