Toyota Tundra 3.5L I-Force V6 Engine *Heavy Mechanic Review* | Is It A GOOD Engine ??

I Review the 2024 Toyota Tundra 3.5L I-Force Max Twin turbo charged V6 engine putting out 389 horsepower and 479lb-ft of torque. I discuss the performance specs, reliability and benefits and pros to this Engine design from Toyota. I also describe the components I like about this I-force Engine as a mechanic.

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I am extremely happy to have this new 3rd gen Toyota Tundra with me and to talk about this highly anticipated 3.4L twin turbo charged Iforce max engine that is now in these new trucks.

the truck I have does not come with the Hybrid option giving it the term I-force max but either both hybrid and non hybrid come with this 3.4L v6 engine.

the first thing that I really like as a licensed mechanic is how in depth and extensive the cooling systems are on this engine. these engines use special alliminum cylinder heads for cooling the combustion chamber. the exhaust manifolds are integrated into the heads and are water cooled. the turbos each have their own water to air intercooler and that system uses its own radiator so just a ton of engineering to make this engine stay cool. Heat is the ultimate killer of engines and a cooler engine will result in better reliability and longevity which I like to see.

the other thing I like is Toyota using dual infjection system using Direct injection and port injection giving this engine the best of both worlds. the benefit of Direct injection including better fuel economy, better performance and engine response yet no consequences.

the next thing I like is the design of the cylinders. toyota when with a undersquare engine meaning the piston stroke is larger then the bore of the cylinder. this gives this engine a massive advantage when creating torque perfect for towing, hauling and off-road use

this engine also has a very high thermal efficiency and this is going to lead to 2 benefits. firstly and obviously you are going to use less fuel to do the same work. secondly less of the chemical energy in the fuel is going to be transferred into heat, allowing the engines cooling system to not work as hard.

lastly this 3.4L tundra Iforce max is going to come with a 10 speed AISIN transmission and aisin is know for making great reliable unit so that should help the performance of this engine.

hope you guys liked the video! Next week we'll talk about some know issues with this engine and review some components I don't like about this twin turbo charged toyota tundra
