Talk me out of a 2021 Tundra Crewmax w/ 5.7

on my 3rd tundra and had a tacoma before the tundra. zero issues, have traded them in around 170k miles with very little maintenance. I know folks that have driven them to 250k miles. the most recent is a '19 so not sure about the new model tundra.

Anyone have a Ram and made it to 200K miles with no major issues?

Yes, 225,0000 miles I had to change the clutch on the cooling fan. Amazing truck. 275,000 miles the water pump went out. Those were the only two thing that went wrong that were not completely my fault. This truck did a lot of towing and went down thousands of miles of crappy gravel roads. It was a 2009 with the 4.7 V8 and 3.55 rear end. My current Ram has the hemi and 3.21 rear axle. 60,000 miles zero issues.

Does anyone own a Tundra that would advise me to steer clear?

I had 4 buddies not buy them again. They all went GM or Ram. They all disliked the interior and horrible fuel economy. Also, there are no front tow hooks on the new Tundra's.

Can you bump up your budget to make it to a 2022? Might as well get the new body style.

I was hesitant going with a truck with a brand new motor but I have a 2023 with the twin turbo hybrid and absolutely love it. I went from a f150 eco boost and definitely like this motor more (only 5k miles on it so far though). The interior and entertainment system is top notch as well.

GMC, RAM, or Tundra

Get the V8 and not that turbo v6 bullshite

This thread is a good example of why its not very useful to listen to the general public on who makes a good truck. Opinions are all over the place and you can read/listen for 10hours and still not be any closer to a conclusion. Its just a shitshow.

I've decided the best place to glean info on vehicles is reputable auto repair shops. They see the same make and years of trucks over and over and over. A caveat is the 4ish year and newer models because they simply don't get those in the shop.

fyi, Toyota seem to come out on top as far as reliability and ease of repair are concerned. And all vehicles aren't made as well as they were 15-20 years ago. Isn't helping the gov mandates fuel economy which pushes manus to turn trucks/cars more into something that resembles spaceships with the technology.

So you have a 2017 Ram with only 96K miles? Dude just keep it. I have a 2016 Tundra and it’s great but there’s no reason to get rid of a perfectly good Ram. Tundra won’t have any more creature comforts than your Ram either.

Enjoy the 8 mpg

Lie down till this feeling passed.

I have a 21. Fantastic truck so far. I don't drive a ton so the mileage doesn't bother me much. I do get around 17mpg, which is about what I got on my f150.
