Body TRUCK

The 2019 Toyota Tundra is a truck that runs on 0W‑20 oil with an 8.5‑quart capacity. It recorded 71 owner complaints, primarily in the fuel/propulsion system, and was involved in ten recalls. Within the Tundra’s complaint span from 1999 to 2026—where the highest total was 1,032 in 2000 and the lowest was just one in 1999—the 2019 model sits toward the better end of the spectrum, reflecting considerably fewer complaints than the worst year but more than the earliest low.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 2,500 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.

In 2019 the Tundra recorded 71 consumer complaints, 10 recalls and 172 TSBs, which is fewer complaints than the 99 filed in 2018 but more than the 45 filed in 2020. The complaint count follows the generation’s arc — a steep drop from the early‑2000s peak to a low of 38 in 2009, then a gradual rise that peaked at 414 in 2022 before easing, placing 2019 near the middle of that recent upward trend. The dominant complaint category is Fuel/Propulsion System with 10 reports, followed by Unknown Or Other with 9, Fuel System, Gasoline with 6, and Electrical System, Forward Collision Avoidance with 3, while crash‑related complaints numbered 4 and fire‑related complaints 2, and the data does not specify a root cause for any of these. Recalls in 2019 (10) are consistent with the 9 reported in 2018 and the 6 reported in 2016, indicating a stable recall environment across those model years. Consequently, for a prospective buyer the 2019 Tundra represents a low‑risk purchase relative to its recent predecessors, though checking the listed fuel‑system service bulletins is advisable.
