Given the massive recall for V35A-FTS equipped trucks/SUVs I'm thinking twice about buying the GX, which has the same engine (with smaller turbos I believe). The notice only mentions 2022-2023 gasoline-only engines but I think that's likely because there's just far fewer 2024s and hybrids on the road to potentially have the same failure, which provides Toyota the opportunity to slow-walk an eventual recall of all V35A-FTS equipped trucks/SUVs. Also, as far as I can tell all V35A-FTS engines are produced at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Alabama, so the fact that the GX is assembled in Japan doesn't give me much confidence. This is a spreadsheet maintained by the tundras.com forum showing engine failures in 2024 Hybrid Tundras...
