re: Tundra owners

100k miles on my ‘15. Zero issues.

Mpg is definitely not 12. More like 15. The 38 gallon tank helps though as far as miles to empty.

I have no bells nor whistles and never really cared for them.

Team tundra

2017 Tundra crewmax 5.7L 4x4 with 33” Nitto Ridge Grapplers here. I get.....11.7mpg faithfully. Road trip 12mpg. Love this truck, actually the first vehicle I’ve kept over 2 years. Right at 30,000 mikes on it & the only thing I’ve had done is lock actuator on passenger side went out. Just bought the Toyota Platinum Warranty 8yrs/100,000mile bumper to bumper factory warranty on it yesterday bc I plan on keeping it. Now if Toyota comes out with a new version in the near future (2021) I’ll probably buy it. Allegedly it will have all the upgrades people have mentioned in this thread. Better mpg, better entertainment console, possibly even hybrid.

My 2006 had 285000 on it when I traded for a 2019 SR5 this January. Very few issues with the 06.
The ‘19 has a 5.7l with the 38 gallon gas tank. I’ve gotten close to 20 on the highway doing 70mph. around town pulling my landscape trailer around 14. Gas mileage is the last thing a person needing a full size truck looks at.
You can have all those electronic bull shite things found on the American trucks - just something else to screw up. My tundra has just enough to suit me.

My dad had 3 or 4 Chevy S10s, now has a 2012 Tundra he bought new.

He’ll never go back.

Great truck. Only complaint is that technology offered in Toyota vehicles is the worst in the industry.

No way I would choose a GM product over a Toyota, unless you don’t mind wasted time at the dealership. I loved my Tundra. 14 mpg was only 2 mpg worse than my Silverado before it, but the Toyota was heavier and 4x4. Upgraded to a Raptor when I grew into a crew cab, since Toyota half assed the TRD Pro package.

A lot of people say this, however, my experience is somewhat different. I had 3 Toyota trucks and all 3 were utter garbage. (‘’99, ‘00, ‘14). Contrast that I’ve had a ‘78, ‘84, ‘89, ‘95, three (3) ‘01’s, ‘03, ‘11, and a ‘18. None. Not one issue with any of them. All bought brand new and all put well over 100-200k on them. No motor issues, no mileage issues, hauled, towed large trailers up to 42,000 lbs, etc. Nothing. Nada. Change oil and out gas in them. Tires and keep going. As far as the technology is concerned, the ‘18 has the touchscreen with CarPlay which is incredible for syncing your phone and maps up and all. Toyota doesn’t have any of that stuff. The ‘14 the wheel hub literally fell off going down the road and the bed bolts broke and bent the axle. They are, as my late grandfather referred to them as “Jap Junk”.

My friends all love their Yotas but they only use them to pull their bass boats. I’ve yet to hook one up to a triple axle gooseneck and haul a load of cattle to Oklahoma without having some kind of issue.

I don't have a Toyota Tundra and here's why. I initially was going to get one but then I saw one towing a boat on the elevated section of i-10 east of Mobile and the bed of the truck was twisting wildly. It was apparent to me that they aren't really designed to do that sort of thing.

I set out to get a GMC 1500 but wound up getting a 2014 Silverado 1500 LTZ 4x4 because I loved the way those looked and it has all the accruements. Not sure why Chevy only released that exact grill style for 1 or 2 years.

Anyway, I've owned chevy cars before and they were high-maintenance junk. The chevy truck is a totally different story. It's been awesome. I have 114k on it now and it still rides like a dream. Everything on it feels very solid.
