Only thing I don’t like about the 23 Tundra is all the alarms…they get damned annoying. I think this is more reflective of lawyer mandated “safety features” in new cars For what it’s worth, I’d buy the Tundra again tomorrow….. We also plan to upgrade the Sequoia the next year or so.
Like the little coffee cup dash light that reminds you to take a break!
Yeah - thought that was hokey on my Tacoma too but I've never driven it long enough without stopping to trigger it. Just seems like a waste of time.[/quote]
That would get annoying. I do drive a lot. I think some of the Ford models have something similar too.

I think it's like 6 hours or something. I generally want to pee and top off tanks in there somewhere. Resets the coffee cup.

My 2019 Highlander and 2022 Ridgeline had that safety feature, Don't own either anymore

Curiosity Killed the Cat & The Prairie Dog “Molon Labe”
Anyone have the new Tundra? Getting a new truck by fall. How do you like yours? Wondering if I should stick with the '21 and older for the 5.7l? How many miles on a used one before you think about not getting it, on a Toyota specifically?
Tow a #5500 boat most of the spring/summer and into fall. Haul a few wheelers when the boat isn't hooked up. All 3 wheelers and the trailer probably don't weigh what the boat does.
I've been keeping my trucks to 180-200K, so 5-6 years.
Get one a few years old with the lowest miles on it you can find that has the V8. It will get nearly the same gas mileage as the new ones and last a lot longer. If you intend to keep it many years like me, don't get the new twin turbo V6. They run great now, but turbos always decrease engine life due to the pressures and complexity. I intend to get at least 250,000 relatively trouble free miles out of a vehicle, and turbos aren't the way to go. Personally, I love my first generation Tundra and wouldn't trade it even for a new one if I had to keep it and use it. Toyota has screwed the pooch by getting rid of their V8 engines and depending on a complex, hopped up V6.
I am surprised that Toyota has never been able to figure out how to get better fuel economy out of their Tundras.
Physics and aerodynamics dictate the mileage problems in a heavy, large, boxy vehicle. I don't buy trucks for gas mileage, I buy them for specific abilities.
My 22 Tundra 1794 gets just at 20mpg on the road and a little over 9mpg pulling a 31' camper. 13K miles and no issues.
That's interesting. My 2016 1794 4x4 Crew with the same engine and rear end would hardly get 17 mpg on flat ground at 70 mph with the cruise on. In town around 14 max. Also had the nav/electronics go out twice before 50k miles. The early 2000 models with the 4.7L V8 were the best ones ever made IMO.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

What he said^^^^^^^ First Generations were over built and many have half a million miles and are still on the road. My 2001 Tundra 4X4 only has 91,000 on the clock and will be in my estate sale.
