This factory service and repair manual is tied to the 2018 Toyota Tundra specifically: the exact year, the engine the truck was built with — the 5.7L V8 (3UR-FE or 3UR-FBE) or the 4.6L V8 (1UR-FE) — and the trim it left the plant as. That means the torque figures, clearances and service sequences you work to are the ones Toyota published for this truck, not a value carried across from a neighboring model year.

Known issues on the 2018 Tundra. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year, and two of them land on the same part. One covers JTEKT power steering gear assembly service parts for 2007-2021 Tundra and 2008-2022 Sequoia; the other covers 2007-2021 Tundra vehicles whose power steering gear assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly. In both cases an oil leak may cause a sudden loss of power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash. A third covers 2018-2020 Tundras equipped with LED headlight assemblies, where a wiring error can leave the turn signals or hazard lamps not flashing brightly enough. A fourth covers the fuel pump on 2018-2019 Tundras: if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. The fifth covers 2018-2021 Tundras whose headlight electrical circuits may power the high and low beams simultaneously; an overheated electrical connector can increase the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 151 complaints with NHTSA for the year, and Toyota has issued 116 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are tracing a power steering leak, chasing a stall back to the fuel pump, or checking why a headlight connector is running hot, the manual holds you to Toyota's own procedure and the right figure for this 2018 Tundra.
