    New to this forum and was considering buying a Tundra, Tundra forum referred me to this forum regarding my question.
    Looking at a 09 Tundra with 4.0L V6, not many Tundras with this engine, and was looking for information regarding the reliability of these engines or concerns.

    Welcome to TW...The 4.0 is very reliable. I’ve had 3 Tacoma’s, 2 with the 4.0 and have had zero problems.

    Thanks...I have read opinions saying it is underpowered compared to the 5.7 V8 Tundras, but will not be using this truck for off road or towing, just everyday driving.

    the 4.0 is a great motor and very reliable. Probably the last of the true reliable Toyota motors.
