3rd Gen Tundra Engine Reliability – Early Ownership Thoughts?

Thinking About Auto-Start/Stop Eliminator — Anyone Tried It on a 2022+ Tundra?

Hey Tundra Guys, I’ve been thinking about installing an auto-start/stop eliminator on my 2022+ Tundra. I don’t always hit the brake pedal hard or long enough to trigger the auto-stop feature, but still — I don’t like the idea of the engine shutting off every time I stop. Seems like extra wear, possible oil-pressure cycling, more stress on the starter, and just a general slowdown when I hammer the gas again. I found this eliminator on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4oq9AdQ — before I pull the trigger I wanted to see if anyone here has used one. If you’ve tried an auto-stop eliminator on a 3rd-gen Tundra: Did it work reliably (no random re-enabling or errors)? Any unexpected side effects — check-engine lights, weird behavior, performance issues? Is it truly plug-and-play, or did you have to dig into wiring / deal with fuse boxes / coding? Price is a little concerning for me — It is so affordable it makes me question. But if there’s a proven one that works clean on a 2022 Tundra, I’m all ears. Let me know your experience. Appreciate it.

We’re a couple years into the 3rd Gen Tundra now — how’s yours holding up?

I had 15K miles on my 2022 SR5 and 10K miles on my 2023 Platinum and so far, so good. No major issues, though I’ve heard about wastegate rattle and a few infotainment glitches here and there.

Oil changes and maintenance have been straightforward, and I’m averaging about 17 MPG combined with a light foot. Curious how the twin-turbo setup holds up long-term — anyone past 100k miles yet?

Drop your mileage, engine type, and any issues (or non-issues) you’ve had. Would be good to track how reliable these are shaping up to be.
