What happens if I "ride" my Toyota's brakes?

Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.

How much can my Toyota tow?

Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Tundra’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Tundra is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

How often does my Tundra transmission fluid need to be checked?

Maintaining your Toyota Tundra transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.

Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Tundra?
