2025 Toyota Tundra
This year drew an ordinary 127 complaints for a Toyota Tundra — the model's median is 119. What they were about is the unusual part: 14.2% of them mention especially, against 5.2% across the other years of this generation.
Generation 2 of the Toyota Tundra, which began in 2022. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

What the complaints were about
- especially — 14.2% of this year's complaints, against 5.2% across the other years of this generation (2.7×). Owners wrote it as: especially, changes, controls, affect.
- nearly — 8.7% of this year's complaints, against 3.1% across the other years of this generation (2.8×). Owners wrote it as: nearly, pictures.
- press — 8.7% of this year's complaints, against 3.3% across the other years of this generation (2.6×). Owners wrote it as: press, cause accident.
Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.
What owners wrote
My 2025 Toyota Tundra’s air conditioning is not cooling properly. The A/C does not perform as expected, especially in hot weather. I am concerned this may be a defect in the HVAC/climate control system. I am also concerned about driver safety because poor A/C…
Vehicle experiences electronic throttle lag that causes the vehicle to not accelerate when pressing on the accelerator pedal. Then it accelerates excessively and nearly uncontrollably before coming under control.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Toyota Tundra was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
