Used 2006 Toyota Tundra Double Cab Consumer Reviews
OL PHART and his Tundra!
Owned a T-100 SR5 as a dealer offer for a problematic 98 Tacoma lemon. Great truck but the later TUNDRA was THE answer. Now on my 5th Tundra(all have been used buys). 2 Access Cabs(the rear door opening was a pain) and 3 Double Cabs(1 SR5 and 2 LTDs)-always a superb performing tool and toy for fun. Just found the latest Limited with all the options in NYC - 14,000 miles and drives as new as it was only used to drive to church on Sundays. For those hauling/towing a load-yes-the 07 and newer do the job better but for a roomy truck(no towing) that rides/drives like a luxury vehicle on the highway/none better. The rule is how much FUN do you want to have and HOW MUCH are you willing to pay for that FUN! Some want a Porshe-some a RAM/F150/SILVERADO. The 06 TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB 4WD LIMITED is my FUN and does it extremely well as it was the last year of that body style. Air bag recall a noted problem but not TOYOTA's fault-Takata's fault! Just wished I would have bought one new in 06! So choose wisely on YOUR version of FUN! And enjoy the RIDE!!!

Love My truck
I love the truck more and more everyday. I bought it 7/31/06. I was a Chevy man to the core, traded a 00 Silverado ext. cab to get this truck. I have used it to tow everything from my 24 ft. pontoon to my 25 ft. camper. I tested 06 Silverado and Ram crew cabs, they didn't compare to this truck overall. Had a bigger bed than the 06 Silverado and interior is just as comfortable. All the Dodge had going for it was that gas-sucking hemi. Toyota in my opinion had it beat everywhere else. If Toyota ever produces a diesel, I will never drive anything else. That is the only way you will ever get decent fuel mileage towing a camper. Great looking truck too. Large truck fuel economy though.
Love my Tundra!
I purchased my Tundra used with 36,000 miles 9 years ago and I have added almost 200,000 miles since picking her up. I switched to synthetic fluids immediately. She has been used for everyday driving, family trips, heavy payloads, and having people move. The wife and I just took a 5,200 mile road trip and visited 3 national parks on and off road. Only minor issues I have had is that my valve cover gasket was replaced once at 200,000 mile mark, which took care of a small oil leak and the front ball joints were recently replaced. Beyond that... just the basic maintenance. I tell folks that she is my convertible truck. With all five driver, passenger, and rear windows down, plus the large moon-roof opened I have the best 4x4 luxury convertible bar none. I look to keep her in the family as long as possible.

Great TRUCK!
Bought this truck used with 14,000 miles in 2008. Now has 56,000 miles and needs it's first pair of brakes. It's a V8 so gas/fuel consumption is not like a PRIUS so I'm not whinning. I average 18 mpg mix hwy/city and about 19-20 hwy. Tows my 18' Lund fishing boat nicely. 6' bed is a must, I didn't buy a new Tundra because of the bed. The crew cab is great, handles 5 adult passenger w/ ease. Interior is ok, when it's cold, it creeks when you go over bumps. Parking is a-ok, like any truck, it won't have turning radius like my wife's Lexus. Overall, I love it, and plan on keeping it for a LONG LONG LONG time! These trucks are also hard to come along. If I find another one, I might snatch er' up
