I’m looking at getting a new full size after having my Tacoma for 11 years, I’m stuck between ford and a Tundra right now, but given Toyota replaced my frame on my truck when it was 9 years old, and Ford would NEVER do that... I’m really leaning in the direction of the Tundra.
Wait til the new Tundra comes out next year! The Tundra led the pack back in 07 when it came out, but 12 years later it’s been passed up in performance and technology by pretty much every other half ton truck. Of course unless your getting a screaming good deal on it. We had 3 of the early Tundras, and IMO were the best ones Toyota ever made. Little small in the back seat, but they never gave us any trouble.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I probably would have gotten a tundra if doing it over again, well maybe I would have to drive one. my 2017 f150 hasn't been as reliable as I would like. its just too much technology. this generation of trucks isn't as reliable. The tundra is older technology. The trucks are just so dated even back then I just couldn't do it at the time. I see a pretty big hit with winter fuel. running summer fuel I am about 17.5 combined. I can get the big numbers on the freeway if I drive 70 or less.

My fuel and repair bills went down after getting rid of my last Tundra.

[i][/i] Depending what year you have I believe they discontinued the TRD supercharger program with the 15 model year. I kinow there was a frantic search for awhile from the guys that had 15's to find dealers that had them in stock. Mine will be going up for sale in a couple months. It has 67,000 miles on it right now. Well, mine is a 2018 and when I’ve asked 2 local dealers about it they look at me like I fell out of a tree. They did tell me that a TRD performance exhaust wouldn’t affect my truck warranty. ETA: Again, many thanks.

Off the OP's focus a bit, but I moved my Trailblazer and got a 2019 4Runner. As several have stated, gas mileage isn't the greatest. But, it's no worse than my Trailblazer was. Got about 6500 miles on it now, as it sits. These things are built like a tank. Lovin' it. Thats a great lookin off road capable rig Thank you.

Bought an 07 Tundra about 16 months ago. Put about 75,000 miles on it since then.
Ride is decent. I get about 13-14.5 mpg. I drive a lot and fairly fast.
When I do pull a trailer, it seems to struggle. I hear everyone talk about how stout their Tundras are for pulling. I guess it just feels like the truck has to work way too hard to pull a fairly small load.
Back seat sucks unless you are 8 years old. I had a Nissan Titan before this. I probably preferred the Titan for seat comfort.
Wife is telling me I need to get a half-ton Dodge as my next work truck She has a 15 or 16 with the eco-diesel and loves it. It is probably the BEST GIFT I ever bought her. It is very comfortable to drive. Lots of room. Nice interior and trim.
I probably am not going the Toyota route with my next truck unless I get lucky and find a crew-max with low miles for a really good price.

Fantastic runners, but ridiculous mileage. I won't own a newer Tundra again until they can get an honest 20mpg on the road.
Anyone that says they have an '07-up Tundra 4wd that gets 20 mpg is full of crap.

I drove about 300 miles today back to Fairview. Nice comfortable ride, and I still had gas in the tank😂. The Tundras are built the way a half ton should be.
One thing that I might be concerned about, is the lack of a block heater. I was told they don’t install them. The messenger might have meant that you can't get them as a factory installed item in the USA. But you can still install a block heater. If you want an OEM part ask the dealer to get it from Canaduh. That being said, I didn't install one in mine when I lived in Havre. I never had any issues leaving work or ending out a day in the field. But my garage was heated to I didn't start it cold a whole helluva lot. Some motors seem to handle the cold better than others and the 5.7 seemed to do really well. Probably because it takes a long time to freeze 8 quarts of oil. LOL.

I know I'm in the minority but would love to have a manual transmission in my tundra, paired to the 5.7 would have to improve gas milage here in the mountains.
Location Western NC, after alot of other places

Resale for the Tundra is without peer by the way.
Yup. And if resale doesn't sway you, long-term reliability stats are pretty heavily in the Toyota's favour too... [img] https://imgur.com/a/L4UJsbD[/img]
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

I am aware of only one "recall" on my 2019 Tundra to fix a possible problem that I didn't have. Reseal a wave guide sensor in the automatic braking system. It was done at my second "free" oil change and checkup. Two more of those to go.
No complaints here!

Toyota shouldn’t have recalls, their technology has been static for a decade on the Tundra. While reliable, I’d argue everything is pretty reliable. Furthermore the design/features are incredibly long in the tooth for Toyota. And mileage is horrible.

Empty and driving around 65 mph or under. And not bucking our Wyoming wind. If you drive it fast and hard you sure won't. I ain't in a hurry like you I guess.

But, that's not the American way. Never has been , never will be. When the Tundra came out, 20mpg out of any pickup was unheard of. Today, it's commonplace. . It's called progress. And look at the one complaint for the Nissan thing. I've seen ONE on the road - that's probably the one they're complaining about!
