Two problems related to owners/service manual have been reported for the 2017 Toyota Tundra. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2017 Toyota Tundra based on all problems reported for the 2017 Tundra.
Factory onboard intigrated trailer break controller does not work as specified. When set to manual electric breaks none of the gaine settings work. The manual override works but not the trail breaks. If you switch to electric over hydraulic the breaks grab and are unsafe. Also the vehicle comes standard with a towing package but towing mirrors are optional. A very expensive option. When installed on the Tundra platinum you loose all other safety functions of the standard platinum mirrors. You loose the outboard clearance lights, the blind spot monitor, the automatic diming function, the memory function and the puddle lamps. This needs to be addressed with Toyota. All of these are safety items.
Ordered and received 2017 Toyota Tundra pickup truck with work package. Per Toyota, "work package" removes electronic options such as power seats, windows and locks. The problem here, is that there is no keyed cylinder lock installed on the passenger side door, therefore--removing the electronic door lock, also removes all means of entering the locked passenger side of this vehicle, except by unlocking the driver side door, and crawling over the seat to manually unlock the door from the inside. Toyota does not state lack of passenger door access in any of their published information concerning the "work truck package". I am very concerned about safety issues pertaining to this by eliminating all exterior access to the passenger side. In an emergency situation, for any reason the driver's side door is either inoperable or unaccessible, there would be no quick, easy way to enter the vehicle with a simple turn of a key -- only option would be to break through a window, if possible. I find it very disturbing that a major automobile manufacturer purposely eliminates vehicle access due to financial reasons, overshadowing safety reasons.
