Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
Given the hype surrounding the introduction of Toyota's all-new Tundra, you'd think Toyota's product team had discovered at least a cure for the common cold. A full-size truck from Toyota is big news and, after Toyota's two previous attempts at the full-size market (the T-100, introduced in 1993, and the first-generation Tundra, introduced in 2000), it does heighten expectations. The newest Tundra is not, however, the reinvention of the pickup. Rather, with its new Tundra, Toyota hopes to hit the sweet spot in the marketplace and, while not reinventing the pickup, its launch significantly raises the stakes in the full-size segment.

"I have owned this truck for two years and have never been so in love with a vehicle. We just completed a 10,000 mile road trip with a 30 ft. travel trailer which it pulled like a dream. Its super comfortable and loaded with power. We have never ever had a single problem (other than bogus recall stuff which was all hype)and it gets reasonable fuel economy for all of its power (18-21 hwy, average 10-12 towing 7600 lbs). This truck handles like a car in avoidance situations, and is an ultimate snow machine. Love, Love, Love it!!"

"Owned Ford's and Chevy's in the past and they do not compare to the looks, ride, and fuel mileage. Veh is used on long trips just about every day and is more comfortable than any PU I have ever owned. Should have gotten the big engine instead of the 4.7 just for the towing."

"As someone that's owned just about every truck, I first didn't care much for the Tundra, but now I've change my mind. I decided to buy a Tundra after seeing how great and reliable our company two '07 and one '08 Tundra work trucks have been. All three have over 115k miles... The thing with the Tundra is that it's a great truck but with a few obvious flaws. EPA estimates make buyers believe that other trucks will save them money overtime. The 5.7 and 4.7 (don't know much about the 4.6) engines are, in my opinion, the best out there. I believe its real world mileage beats most other trucks. Its 4.30 and 4.10 gearing lowers mileage on paper, but it actually beats all my other trucks in performance and real-world gas mileage because the higher axle ratio makes the engine work at the most power/efficiency balanced RPM for pulling and hauling. That lets the engine dump all that power down to the road without having to stress-out the engine and transmission. It is just amazing how easily this truck can get moving. The only real changes I'd like to see are with interior material quality. It's not like other trucks aren't using cheap materials, but I would expect much more from Toyota. The only other things I would like to see improved are AC, radio and Nav control locations for the driver, Some better paint that doesn't chip and scratch so easily and better visibility out the sides and the rear. Everything else about this truck is great. Interior room is astounding, storage space, pockets and cup holders are everywhere, seats are very comfortable, handling is good, turning radius is almost as good as a car, it's bouncy at highway speeds, little unsettled at low speeds, but it's a truck, steering is very precise at any speed, the engine is quiet, powerful and smooth, reliability has been excellent for my truck and the all three company trucks. The Tundra has become the best truck I've owned."
