Concerns About The Turbo

[Wanderlost]

Now you have me thinking! Since I am also considering the 2024 Lexus GX, I am curious, since they use essentially the Tundra drive train, if it also employs the electronic waste gates, and how they would be serviced on this vehicle?

I'm not looking closely at the GX 550 since I don't need the towing capability. The GX 550 powertrain will incorporate the latest improvements from the Tundra in-service experience, however I would expect the engines to otherwise be identical.

How so and what do you mean?

One has to remember that as I understand it, Sheldon Brown was also the chief engineer on the Tundra. It encountered early turbo issues, and worse yet, to service them the entire truck cab had to be removed.
