Seems like every vehicle has it's weak points. For example, most newer Jeep Wranglers have D35c rear axles that will break if you wheel them hard with oversize tires. Anyone here have any idea what goes first on Tundras if you push 'em a little?
Just bought an '06.... not that I intend to beat on it, just curious!

Didnt you know that Toyotas are unbreakable, the advertisment says so.
Auto transmission, esp. torque converter and overdrive are known weaknesses with early Tundras. I am not sure if they have worked the problems out or not. Many newer Tundras have a vibration in the rear end that defies explanation.. Differentials have traditionally been weak also.
On the vibration comment... Have a 2003 Tundra with annoying vibrations anywhere from 60 to 80 mph. Worked with the dealer to no avail. They gave me some real goofy suggestions too. At 62,000 miles, replaced the tires and had the wheels (stock Toyota 17" Alloys) balanced with a Hunter "Road Force" balancer using a Haweka adapter. This solved my particular problem for good.
