"I bought my truck new and it now has over 100,000 miles on it. It still drives, looks, and feels like a brand new truck. I'm looking forward to the next 100,000. I've kept up with the maintenance and other than a shock that malfunctioned at 85,000 miles, nothing else has gone wrong. It has been dependable from the start. It pulls loads with ease and unless its a particularly heavy load, you can't even tell you're pulling anything. It has the 'get up and go' as well as the 'steady pull' to be an all around versatile truck. The inside room is amazing. If you've never looked on the inside of one of the trucks, you should! My kids and their friends are all over 6 foot and they fit comfortably in the front and back seats! The only downfalls I've found are: some of the interior plastic is grey and very cheap looking (although its held up perfectly over the years); the fuel tank is too small!!!! (25 gallons); and the radio antenna isn't very good (but it comes w/ a 6 disk CD changer & built in jack for aux, so that makes it hard to complain about the lack of radio). After more than 100,000 miles... those are my only complaints. All in all its been a great truck and if it ever stops running I'll buy another one just like it!"

Hands down the best value truck on the market

"After owning a 2000 Chevy 1500 for 13 years and too many repairs to list this truck is awesome. It drives quieter than the 2013 Accord we traded in for it. It has more than enough power with the 5.7 ltr and on a recent 200 mile trip from Wasilla to Kenai at 60mph we got 21 mpg, well over the 17 epa rating for the hwy for this truck. It drives really solid and it just feels tuff. Toyota's reputation for reliability with the tundra was an important part of the decision to buy this truck. The driving dynamics and looks are just icing on the cake. We love this truck!"

Great pickup

"I really enjoy my pickup. It's great with the kids and for hauling the little that we need. When towing/hauling large loads gas is guzzled, even more than normal but other than that it's pretty fun to drive. Has a lot of "get up and go." I have been very happy with my pickup and intend on keeping it for years to come."

Tundra Grade Work Truck

"Second Tundra. First is a 2006 Limited driven by my wife. I wanted something new without frills for me even though I am retired. Got the big v-8 and 8 ft bed. I don't know why, but I actually thought that this was a heavy duty truck comparable with a 3/4 ton. Found out differently. it is truly a 1/2 ton and maybe a hd 1/2 ton, but not a 3/4 ton. It is a good truck so far. Best mileage was 20.8 without a load on a 135 mile trip with only 2,000 miles on it. Worst was 15 something, again without a load using it around town and some highway driving. Not bad I guess. Towing it did ok with a hd trailer and another vehicle on it. No mileage recorded because it was a short 50 mile tow. The rear did sag quite a bit though. The other issue is that I don't know if it will take a camper or not. Mileage has been good, performance has been good and quality is good. My true problem is that my last 4 pickups have been 2 Dodge diesel 1 ton duallys and 2 Dodge diesel 3/4 tons. So I am somewhat disappointed in the utility of the truck. But with diesel .60 to .80 cents a gallon more that gas I figured I would try a gas truck. Now I am having second thoughts. maybe after owning it for a while longer I will get a truly better feeling for the truck. Only time will tell."

"Although I've only driven it in town for nearly 2 years -- and have less than 17,000 miles on it, I'm very happy and very impressed. This is one nice truck. I usually buy my vehicles new and then drive them for 8 to 10 years or about 120,000 miles. From what I've felt, seen, and heard, this one will easily take on that period of time. It is extraordinarily comfortable with the cloth bucket seats. Even though the engine roars at the slightest punch of the pedal, it's incredibly quiet. Backing is a breeze with the backup camera and the good size but not over-done side-mount mirrors. A definite negative but one I can live with is that it gets no better than 12.4 MPG in town. I admit I drive it a bit hard -- but even when I've intentionally eased up to test the MPG on a tank full, it still gets about 12.5. A plus -- for me, at least -- is that it is not over-laden with chrome as is the 'best selling truck'. The only real "con" is the factory radio. Mine came stock with a satellite, MP3 capable and Blue tooth which works fine with Pandora on my phone. I am partially deaf so I don't know how the system really sounds but it does fine for me. As to the "con", the radio panel is a very dimly lit LED (or whatever) which is even more dim when the headlights are on -- which, for me, is always. I intend to make a change-out of the radio for one with about the same features (including the steering wheel controls, which I like) for $500 or less. For a truck of this quality and rugged good looks, the radio was a very, very poor choice -- primarily because of the difficulty in trying to read what station or mode it's on. Would I buy it again? Probably -- but the 12.4 MPG would give me pause."
