Common problems and easy repairs on a 2012 Tundra

The 2012 Toyota Tundra Limited is somewhat difficult to maintain. All of the main lights will require their respective housings to be removed for access to them, which will require various tools and won’t make for reliable bulb changes. Performing a coolant flush or an oil change may be a problem as you’ll have to work upside-down while underneath the vehicle to first remove a large bulky panel. Reaching the spare tire might also prove difficult as it is stored underneath the vehicle where it can become rusted to the undercarriage.

However, the 2012 Toyota Tundra Limited has its upsides. The engine coolant reservoir has very open access, allowing you to reliably monitor the fluid levels. Changing the battery won’t be a problem as the terminals and the brackets have an unobstructed reach. The engine air filter will prove easy to change the housing disengages without the use of tools.
