Re: CR Rates New Tundra V8 4x4 Reliability Well Below Average
It is because they don't recommend the V8 - apparently the 5.7 cam or crankshaft failures were noted highly by CR. They recommend the 4x2 more b/c the V6 version only comes in 4x2. They're rating by different engines, not just drivetrain systems.
I remember a couple weeks ago someone said that they knew someone who worked for CR that said the Tundra would not be rated well, and everyone yelled troll. Ahem.
