Should have bought a Ford! JK, my next truck will more than likely be a GMC Denalli. In all seriousness, I know nothing of the new Tundras but will say this. My wife has driven a new Toyota 4 Runner since 2000 when we bought her first one. She is on her 4th one now a 2019. Her repairs are 1 to every 5 or 6 I have. Toyotas are hard to beat but the gas mileage is horrible on the Tundras unless they've improved that.

Toyotas are hard to beat but the gas mileage is horrible on the Tundras unless they've improved that. Unless they have done so on the brand new models that came out this year, the answer is no. The old smaller Tundras got pretty good for a V8, but when they went to the bigger body and bigger motor the gas mileage tanked. As I stated, I don't like the Tundras because they aren't designed to do what I want to do. I have a friend though that uses them for work (he is a cruiser and puts quite a lot of miles on) he started out with one of the older smaller Tundras, got rid of it at 350,000 and is on his third newer, bigger one. Having got rid of the previous two at 350-375,000 miles. All three of them had original motor and transmission still when he got rid of them, and the first two are still running as farm trucks where he sold them to a friend, not sure where the last one went. As he told me one day when we were talking about them, "the gas mileage sucks, but I can't see driving anything else for the reliability as much time as I spend way back in the woods by myself. And besides, you can buy a lot of gas for the price of a new motor or transmission."

I wasn't aware they made a smaller Tacoma and Tundra? But I am no truck expert by any means. My good buddy has been a Ford mechanic for 25-30 years so because of him saving me $$$ I have always bought Ford trucks.

7. Toyota Tundra Toyota Motor's (NYSE:TM) Tundra comes in at No.7 on the list. Assembled in San Antonio, Texas, the Tundra represents one of the two full-sized pickup trucks that make the American Made index. Trucks have been dominating auto sales in 2013 thanks to a rebounding housing market and consumers who are willing to buy again. And reports show that buyers are turning to pickup trucks — good news for Toyota's Tundra, which has benefited from increased support from customers, especially in its state of creation, Texas.
Tundra is built in Texas not Japan

New trucks are great, Everyone may have some problems. I have both 2019 F-150 & 2019 F-250, 20,000 on the F-150 & 18,000 on the F-250. The F-150 at 17,400, The power module went out, Not a thing in the truck would work, No start, lights out. Went back to dealers, They replaced the module & all is fine so far. The F-250 had a recall on the insulation above the driveshaft may loosen & have contact with the drive shaft. Who really knows, All depends how much service they have & how hard they worked.

Probably shouldn't have stated that, because everybody ranks them differently. "Because 65% of the Tundra’s parts originate in the U.S. or Canada and it’s assembled in San Antonio Texas, Cars.com named it the most “American-made” full-size pickup truck. But some economists argue that because Toyota’s headquartered abroad, the Tundra comes in second place–just behind the Ford F-150." Others rank the Honda Ridgline as #1 And still others the Ford Ranger https://www.motorbiscuit.com/is-the-toyota-tundra-really-the-most-american-made-full-size-truck/

The best truck I have ever owned was a 96 Tocoma. Drove that truck hard on the trap line for many years. It had over 300K on it when I sold it. The guy that bought it drove it for a few more years when the frame finally gave out. The motor - transmission was still working fine. Not relevant to this post Talking about a 2022 TUNDRA

The first Tundra's were from 2000-2006? Physically about the size of a Dodge Dakota. Totally different truck, including the engine. I drove one until 122,000 and traded on an a 2010 5.4l, F150. No serious problems with the F150 (made in Canada) but I got rid of it before the well known low volume oil pump issue requires all of the front motor parts (cam chains, wear blocks, adjusters, and sometimes rocker arms, oil pump) to be replaced.
Currently driving a 2017 NIssan Titan XD bought from the Ford dealer when I traded. Only got 26,000 on it but so far has been the best truck I ever owned. Keeping my fingers crossed.
