2014+ ecoboost if you really want to try to avoid problems. It does indeed look like the issues were common in 2011-2012 trucks. They updated oil weight and parts in 2014's. Preferable one owner to know they actually changed their oil not at 10-11k miles like the Ford oil monitor system says to.... Direct Inject = oil dilution from the fuel. If you get the new ecoboost it's port injection so maintenance isn't as worrisome from an oil change perspective. Ford kinda messed up with oil monitor and the average consumer is brain dead so you see a lot of problems you wouldn't normally see with at least someone like us who are car people.
Just buy one in the 40k mile range and ride it out a long time. You'll be fine. Obviously you can get a bad egg with a vehicle (aka Jake's RAM), but I just wanted to point out potential issues which were know TSB's to look out for that were at the Ford dealers. Doesn't mean you should write it off
Example - bought mine one owner at ~45k miles. Has 71k miles now. Just oil changes/alignment/tire rotation since 2017 September. Hopefully won't have anything major besides 100k maintenance in the next couple of years
If you like your Tundra get another, imo. Although, for me personally, as Jake mentioned I just can't get behind spending truck money on the same truck you have with just updates. Although it would be reliable I'd assume. I haven't looked into new Tundra's problems yet if there are any TSB's and such
