Wife got one last month. Only a little over 2k miles, but she's loving it.
I highly recommend the TRD sway bar. Makes a noticeable difference in curves and twists.

Bought a 2014 TRD last December.
Put 10K on it so far. Absolutely love it. I might buy another.

Only dislike is the 20 gallon tank by the way. Not sure why Toyota is so reluctant to give their vehicles some fugking legs. Probably not an issue most places but it can be for some of the areas I go to.

I have had Tundras since they first hit the market.. I have a 2012 right now.. It has 118,000 on it.. This fall I plan to buy another, just for long distance trips.. We will use the 12 for hunting, camping, etc. I think they are outstanding... I wish they would make a 3/4 ton, but it won't happen I guess.

I'd like a new one, but with only 84k on my '07, it's a long way off.

I've only owned one Tundra.

Have a 2014 Tundra limited, 4x4, pull a 26 ft TT a few days in the summer. Fuel mileage--eh, not so great, about 16-18 if I drive right, (not towing). Really like it, a lot.

I don't see how 16-18 is not great on a 5.7L 1/2 ton.

Not a Tundra owner but I have driven one, and found it to be a smooth driving vehicle. I expect it will do fine, reliability wise. Toyota seems to have learned from their previous mistakes, what few they were.
The are showing a 26.4 gallon tank now available, which is pretty small. Even my 4 door Jeep has a 22.5, and my F150 has a 36gal.

It'd be a slam dunk for me. but you guys out there in the real world is it hard to find a Tundra with an 8 ft. bed? they're rare around here, most of em are what I call trick trucks, lil bitty 6 ft. bed. for me a pickup needs to be 3/4 ton and hold an 8 ft sheet of plywood with the tailgate closed.

My experience with vehicles has been rarely do I wear out an engine, but usually I get up around 125-150 k and 6-7 years and the a/c craps out and/ or the anti lock brakes are shot a power window is out along with the door locks , a couple of sensors are acting up and the next few thing you know it's spend $3k on a $6k vehicle to get all the pesky little issues fixed or trade it get your $6k and put your $3k to a new vehicle.

I don't understand why people say this. It's a 1/2 ton truck. All day, every day. Travis

They should have a 35 gallon tank. Stupid that they don't. Travis
