The Toyota Tundra is Toyota’s full-sized pickup truck, and it was introduced in 2000 as a replacement for the T100. The Tundra is powerful and capable of serious hauling, and it maintains these truck qualities without sacrificing many desirable car-like traits. The Tundra is both fuel efficient and powerful in a way that many domestic full sized pickup trucks are not.

Toyota designers tune their engines carefully, and use quality materials and engineering to maximize their power, longevity, and efficiency. Toyotas tend to last pretty much forever when they are properly maintained.

While most people know to change the spark plugs, air filters, and oil, one of the key components for the engine to keep running strongly and economically is the Toyota Tundra’s oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor measures the ratio of oxygen to exhaust gases and is located forward of the catalytic converter on the exhaust pipes. It communicates the oxygen levels with the engine’s computer, which adjusts the fuel to air mixture accordingly. Too much oxygen, and it increases the amount of fuel injected into the combustion chamber; too little, and it decreases it. A failing Toyota Tundra oxygen sensor will not detect the oxygen, so it will increase the amount of fuel beyond the proper ratio. An engine running rich will get very poor fuel economy, and, ironically, too much fuel will rob it of power. It may cough and stumble, and may even die, although that is a rather unlikely scenario.
