"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!!"

You can't find a better truck.

"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."

Decent truck all around

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 82,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I'm getting about 15.5 miles per gallon in mixed driving, like the seating position, interior is pretty spacious, it has more storage space and cup holders than most will ever need, turning radius is the best I've ever seen in a large pickup truck, brakes are fade free and strong enough to stop a freight train, ride is good but can be harsh on bad roads, visibility out the rear could be improved, hauls well, but it is kind of tough loading things over the bed rails, an unearthly 5.7L engine and transmission work well to make the truck very quick, towing is a piece of cake for it, steering may feel soft for some people, but I find it very, very responsive, reliability has been excellent... If you're in the market for a truck, I'd tell you to go for a Tundra. I've owned them all, but this is the best of them all."

Best PU I have owned

By richman (Orlando, Fl) on Thursday, May 01, 2008

"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."

Best truck on the market.

"The Tundra is a great, very well rounded pickup. I handles like a car, it's very powerful, it has a very easy to live with interior, it's also a great value. If you compare a $40k F150 to $40k Tundra, you'll find you're getting much more for the money. You'll also get Toyota dependability. I use my truck for my business daily. Over 80% of it's mileage is towing and/or stop and go driving. It still runs perfect with over 100k miles. I've not had any problems with the truck."
