Tundra

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

Pearl Harbor..??

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.

Gas mileage, from what I hear.

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.

Rust bucket and poor mileage

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.

I have a 2019 Tundra TRD. Has 13,400 miles and little dust on it from sitting in the garage.

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.

I don't have rust yet but then we seldom treat roads here. Of I take it onto the beach I stop and get the full service wash which includes pressure washing the undercarriage

I had a 2008 Tundra with 300,000 miles i sold it outright for 4500 now have a 2017 both good trucks

X 2 !!

Just curious what brand of chainsaw you guys run ?

In a Tundra? You've lost your mind. You're thinking of a Gen 1 Tacoma. If you can't fit in a tundra you ain't fitting in a 1500/150 either.

Gas mileage, yes. Rust bucket? Nope. You're confusing it with a GM product.

Lol. No kidding. Countries still buy our products and we've bombed half the world.

Call me whatever you like......

Give me a choice between products from Germany, Japan, China, Taiwan, most of the rest of Asia anywhere in Europe and even a lot of products produced in the US and I will buy from Germany or Japan most of the time.

Our automotive industry was producing pure junk (compared to what they produce now) prior to the Japanese imports rolling in. They had to improve or die. The more reliable, less expensive to operate and maintain Japanese cars gobbled up market share and forced the US companies to make changes. But, in my experience dealing with US car makers versus Japanese, the US still has a lot to learn about customer service and standing behind their product when there is a problem.

I never intend to own another vehicle produced by Ford or GM because of their refusal to fix obvious problems while vehicles were under warranty.

It has been as different as night and day dealing with Toyota even in situations when the cause of the issue was far more questionable.

Remember when Chevrolet and Chrysler were deemed too to fail? No real reason to improve when the government will just bail you out.

I do not own a Tundra but my Tacoma was built in Texas.

I do remember that. A really stupid move by our government. There were entrepreneurs poised to break into the car market that never got their chance because of that government bail out. We might have a few extra manufacturers producing competitively priced, quality US vehicles by now had the government not interfered.

Chainsaw, you're going to need to better....lol

^^^tractor and bushhog.

Was thinking Tacoma ..

Tundra is the one on steroids

Gas mileage sucks, but you'll spend a lot less on repairs and maintenance to make up for it. The lack of a manual transmission option would be a no go for me, but if you are looking to buy new nobody else makes a half ton full size (Toyota and Jeep still make small trucks in manual transmission models) with a manual transmission either.

How about your 115hp 4 stroke yamaha

If you're gonna attack me at least get your facts straight, my boat doesn't have a yamaha pushing it has a Johnson...

Fine. I remembered you posting on the yamaha thread. Prayers sent for the johnson

Lol savage

Yeah that's not a yamamamah that's a big Johnson!
