So you're saying I should keep my 2020 Tundra 5.7 with only 32k miles a little longer? Ok, will do.
You're in the best truck made in the last 10 years. The MPG may suck, but it will last you forever.

My explanation is from an idiots point of view. I didn’t make the claim but only repeated what I’ve seen from these guys. And what you said lines up with what they said. And what they said is their “theory” as to what “should” remedy the issue. The point of my post is to call BS on the “machining debris” lie. Because that’s what it is. Toyota is trying to cover their asses. They claim the engines that were failing from “machine debris” were all coming from the same shop when that was a lie. It’s a design flaw. They also claim that the tolerances were too tight and that’s also a lie because the tolerances of the 5.7 V8 were much tighter than the 3.5, again im regurgitating what I’ve seen from truck guys who know more than me. And they showed the spec sheets with the tolerances of both engines.
For what it’s worth I have only driven Toyota in my lifetime and it’s extremely disappointing to me that they are still trying to pass the “machining debris” lie off.
You're right on the money. It was a shitty design and bad choice of main bearing material.

It has almost been 2 years since my dad passed away. I had lost a brother as well. It's all tough. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Only if you come back claiming "asylum" rather than swimming across the Rio Grande and digging under a fence. And use your real name. Both coming and going.
Yeah, if it's illegal, coming or going, they're not registering on the ticker. If they're leaving, most of them are going to take the path of least resistance. Swimming across the Rio Grande and dealing with that part of the country afoot isn't high on the list of options for those leaving.

Are the numbers real and verifiable or estimated?
Any time you leave the country, you have to present your papers to Customs and Border Patrol. What they're counting on the other side of that is anybody's guess.
Can it be verified? Absolutely! They know if you have left. They know if you are still gone. They know if you have come back.

There’s a very real possibility she has no clue that the Spanish reintroduced horses to the Americas though. But when speaking in terms of the United States, it was my ancestors that were the cowboys
By the statement she made, she has no clue that Mexicans are a mix of European Spanish and Natives that lived in what is now called Latin America. In a nutshell, Mestizo is not in her vocabulary.

Can anyone comment if a diesel engine makes sense for a 6-mile round trip commute 3-4 days a week, and a couple 5-6 hour round trips/month?
Yes, the motor would be fine, but you need to do the math to see if it makes sense for you.
I had an AT4 pickup with it. I drove 600 mile trips in it, so it made sense for me. I always came out ahead in a smaller diesel than a gas burner.
The main culprit of clogging DPFs is letting them idle.
One thing you need to do religiously is run some kind of diesel additive for lubricity. I always ran something with every tank, and I never had any high pressure fuel pump problems.
