2017 Toyota Tundra

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 Tundra.

Body TRUCK

The 2017 Toyota Tundra is a truck that requires 7.9 quarts of 0W-20 engine oil. In the model’s 1999–2026 complaint history, the 2017 model year accumulated 78 owner complaints and 6 recalls, with the Fuel/Propulsion System representing the top complaint area. That figure is far below the 1,032-complaint peak logged for 2000, placing 2017 well beneath the Tundra’s most contentious years and marking it as a comparatively subdued entry in the model’s long production record.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs at 120,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2017 Toyota Tundra records 78 complaints, 6 recalls, 1 investigation, and 182 TSBs in the federal database, placing it firmly in the quieter middle of the second-generation arc (roughly 2007–2021). Its complaint figure sits well below neighbors like 2016 (118) and 2018 (99), and its TSB count of 182 is the lowest of any model year in the 2012–2020 stretch, suggesting fewer service bulletins piling up on this vintage than on surrounding years. The top complaint clusters—Fuel/Propulsion System and Electrical/Exterior Lighting (11 each), Service Brakes (8), and Electrical System (7)—are diffuse rather than concentrated on a single failure mode, and the absence of any fire complaints (with only 2 crash-related filings) keeps the severity profile mild. Compared with the steep complaint spike seen in 2022–2024 (peaking at 414 in 2022), 2017 clearly predates the late-life issues that have dogged newer examples. The data doesn't specify root causes for the fuel and electrical complaints, but the overall volume is moderate for a truck now entering used-vehicle territory. **Bottom line: the 2017 model year is a defensible used Tundra buy—lower complaints and TSBs than its immediate neighbors, no fire flags, and a recall load consistent with the generation's average—though a pre-purchase inspection should still verify the fuel and electrical systems referenced in the top complaint buckets.**
