Is there any reason I shouldn't buy a Tundra?

Test drove a CrewMax TSS 4x4 tonight, and I really like the truck.
Currently have a 2011 Ram Sport Quad Cab and am looking to upgrade to a Crew Cab. Still planning to look at a new Ram with the 8 speed, but I really like the Tundra more than I thought I would. Only thing I didn't like was the factory audio, but that can always be upgraded.
Enough rambling. I guess my question is are those of you OBers that went with the Tundra really happy with it? Seems to be a pretty bulletproof truck.

Uh, no. I got a 2013 when they came out and I love it.

I switched from f-150 to a tundra. Only complaint is the Tundra has a tiny fuel tank. But you can fill it up for $50.

The tundra is a nice truck. If you go drive a Chevy gmc or ford I'm confident you'll notice a difference. Keep in mind the gear ratios and how each of them feel.
My biggest problem with the tundra is they haven't changed the drive train since 2007. They had the best drive train then but imho have been caught and surpassed by nearly everybody. Ecoboost except for the first two years, 5.0 ford, both motors from gm married to the tranny in the '14s and the hemi with 8 speed. Just my two cents. Can't really mess up buying a truck these days. Except Titan.

This.
My best friend drives Tundras, I've ridden in a few of his...didn't like the older ones bc of the interior, but the new ones are really nice. That being said, Ram is my personal brand bias
The hemi + 8 speed is a sweet setup...and fast too.

Do they make aftermarket tanks? My truck has a Titan 50gal one in it, and I think it only came with a 30 stock.
3dt, fold down the back seat and make the decision. I have no idea why they made it like that. The back is completely useless now. I'd get a double cab

Tundra - don't really care for the looks..they get the same gas mileage as a 3/4 ton gas truck.
I would look hard at the Ram trucks, they are making a damn nice truck right now. Not to mention the EcoDiesel they have is getting 28-30 mpg real world numnbers from the info I have been reading.

I posted this in a previous Tundra thread...
quote:
2008 Tundra SR5 TRD Double Cab 2wd - Sold
2014 Tundra Limited CrewMax 4X4 - Current
Pros:
Ride-TRD had a little bit rougher ride. New one is super smooth.
Power- 5.7 makes good power. All the other manufacturers have caught up and surpassed the Tundras power, but it's still got plenty
Interior- I really like the updated interior.
Room- Feels bigger inside than other makes. And the CrewMax is HUGE in the back seat.
Reliable- Only had 100k on my 2008, but I didn't have a single problem. Just changed the oil and that's it.
Power Rear Window- I love that thing
Cons:
Fuel Economy- It's already been said, 1000 times.
Power- It pisses me off that other people have more HP than me
Paint- frick Toyota and their single stage paint. My last truck was white, it scratched if you looked at it wrong. New truck is black, It has a clearcoat. hopefully it's better.
Stereo- Factory stereo (non-JBL) is pathetic.
Features- It would be nice to have remote start, keyless start and mirrors that tilt down when you shift into R.
All in all, I love the Tundras. Current model has been out for a while with only minor changes, but I still like them. Looked at all makes and I bought another one. That is the best thing I can say.

I have 229,000 miles on a 2006 crew cab . Change the rubber timing belt every hundred thousand miles and just had the first complete trans fluid flush . Never ever had a Ford or Chevy like this and will never have anything but a Toyota. Also they don't double talk or try to screw your brains out at the service department .

I have an 09 with 75k. Had to change the water pump. But, I really enjoy the truck. Pulls a boat as well as any other truck I've been in.
Only thing I don't understand is why they refused to improve on the drive train like another poster said. The engines themselves are bullet proof, but a little something would be nice. Would feel as though I was buying an outdated product if I had to buy new right now.
That being said I love my truck. I have a limited so I have the jBL system and navigation so I can't comment on the factory stuff.

Tundras are great trucks. But please see my advice about TSS packages here.

That's fine and I'm not going to get in an arguement over this.
However in 2014, if you buy a Titan you have bought the worst of the 5 full size trucks.

I stay fairly well versed on all trucks and have never heard that. Thanks for that information!

TSS on Tacomas and Tundras are horrible. Big dumb arse sticker signifying running boards and a rim/tire package, really? They sell the shite out of them too, I see them everywhere. I can't decide if people want the sticker or the rims more.

2015 Rams are available to order and you may find some on the lots already - personal preference, I wouldn't own a Toyota, they are a car company...
