Give me a reason not to buy one. These American trucks seem littered with problems. 2015 or older model.

If it’s a new body style it’s one of the ugliest truck I’ve seen

Can’t give you one. I have a 2014 I bought with 57k on it. It’s now at 199k and I’ve only put brakes and tires on it. Gas mileage ain’t great, but if I’m only paying for gas then it’s a fine trade-off.

I have a 2012 with 92000 miles. 5.7 motor and it has plenty of power but im only getting 14mpg. Now my bed is rusting at the bolts on the floor. I have not put any money into this truck except for tires, battery brakes and oil changes. Its very comfortable to drive. The rusting is going to cost some bucks to repair.

I agree 100%.

I have an '09 4x4 and love it. Just rolled over 130k miles. Look forward to putting another 200k+ on it. Gas mileage isn't horrible at 17 or thereabouts. It has the 5.7 iForce V8.

2016 double cab 4x4 here.....bought new. Has 77,000 miles. 4.8 v8. Gas mileage is not good. But, no problems so far. Mine came with sprayed on bed liner. I added the grill guard. And new tires and leveling kit.

I don't think it's ugly.....it's pretty....when it's clean.

If your 5’9” and 170 lbs ....you’ll fit.

I'm a tad bit bigger than that - lol, and I fit in my 2010 model just fine. My mileage averages around 18.7mpg, but mine is a 2wd road truck. It has 269,000 miles on it.

I have a 2014, other than gas mileage I like it. Had chevys and gmc’s before that, got tired of enriching my dealers service department and local mechanic.

I have had an 07, a 13 and now have a 17, all double cab 4WD TRD with 6.5' bed. 07 had the 4.6 engine and the other 2 had the 5.7. Had a couple of issues with the 07 that Toyota took care of and reimbursed me for a rental truck while mine was out of service. No hassle from them at all.

No problem at all with the 13 and 17. Knock around mileage in the 16 to 16.5 range, highway around 18 to 18.5 It definitely likes gas when I hook up a trailer to do any serious towing. They all had a very comfortable ride with the factory suspension package and standard size tires.

My 17 has 106,000 miles and I am going to keep it. The 5.7 has shown to be a very reliable power plant and I have no interest being in the test group for the new turbo V6.

Agree. They're awful.

My 2014 has been a great truck.

My 07 just turned over 200k and it has been the best truck I have ever owned. Also, it was made right down the road in San Antonio.

I bought my 2011 with 32,000 miles on it. It now has 248,000 and I have only put tires and brakes on it. It has been by far my most reliable truck I have owned.

2006 Tundra. 291,000. Just replaced some struts shocks u joints and had it in the shop for some bearings, but that wear on any vehicle. Motor runs great. Thinking of buying another 06 with 75,000 and keeping this one as well. Ive sat in a lot of trucks for work. This has a great size for running tight mountain roads but still being able to throw sheathing in the bed.

I'm not going to lie and tell you my 5.7L can keep up with a diesel, but pulling trailers it keeps up with or beats any other gas burner on the road. Torque for days. Any truck of mine has to earn its keep and my Tundra does it well.

I have an 08 Tundra Dbl.cab. I use mine as a construction vehicle and regularly tow my Kubota L35. I also routinely tow 2.5 cords of green firewood which almost maxes out tow capacity (10,200 lbs.). The 5.7 doesn't have much trouble trailering those weights.

Gas mileage sucks, about 17 highway and 15 city, goes way down when hauling or trailering.

I'm having significant rust issues due mostly to the calcium added to the dirt roads year round near my camp (no paved roads in my township). I keep tghe bottom as clean as I can but those calcium flakes have eaten my last three trucks.



Eh...wot?
