I own a Tundra 2003 Limited with 12,000 KM. I just got it as a dealer demo so it is 2000 KM new to me. The truck is nice but it has a very annoying engine noise, particularly when cold. To me it sounds like an old car with loose rocker arms. A constant "tick-tick-tick" that is clearly audible in the cab of the truck. It is particularaly bad when it is cold, even if the engine has warmed up. I doubt Toyota would have designed an engine with that type of noise as being acceptable....I have a old 91 sunbird that idles quieter. I'm not saying it sounds like the engine is going to fall out, just noisy enough to sound suspicious for a $40k + vehicle. The dealer tells me it is how the fuel injectors should sound. I don't buy that explanation.
Anyone else ever seen/heard/read of anything like this?
Thank You
