Fitment on this one is exact: this service and repair manual is written for the 2010 Toyota Tundra, matched to the model year, to whichever of the 1GR-FE, 1UR-FE, 3UR-FBE or 3UR-FE engines sits under the hood, and to the cab and trim your truck was built as, so every specification and tightening sequence it gives is what Toyota published for this truck rather than a value borrowed from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2010 Tundra. Twelve recalls sit on the federal record for this model year. Two of them cover the hydraulic power assist steering, where an oil leak may cause a sudden loss of power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash. Three cover the tire pressure monitoring and regulating system, where drivers will not receive a warning from the tire pressure monitor, and a failure to warn of tire deflations could lead to tire failure. Two more cover the accelerator pedal, which on one recall may become hard to depress or slow to return to idle, and on the other may stick open, which may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop. Two cover load carrying capacity labels: incorrect load carrying capacity modification labels could result in the vehicle being overloaded, and an inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires. One covers the power window devices and controls: if the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture can get in. One covers the frontal air bag sensor and control module, where the front passenger seat occupant sensing system may be out of calibration. The last applies to four-wheel-drive 2010 trucks, on which an improper weld may exist at the union of the propeller shaft and yoke, which may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 216 complaints against this model year, and Toyota has issued 119 technical service bulletins for it.
Whether you are diagnosing a leaking steering gear, chasing a tire pressure warning that never arrives, or inspecting the propeller shaft on a 4x4, this manual holds you to Toyota's own procedure and the correct figure for this 2010 Tundra.
