LOVE MY TRUCK RUNS LIKE A VETTE BUT HAULS LIKE A TRUCK
Toyota Tops Chevy Hands Down
I love this truck. I've had mine less than a year and it SO beats the life out of the Chevy piece of junk I had. If you want a truck to haul truck stuff, ride well, and be reliable AND be worth something should you decide to sell it a few years down the road -- get a Toyota. Fantastic Truck!

Watch out for frame and under body rust
This year of Tundra was recalled for frame and under body rust twice. Even with body off recall fixes twice the frame and many under body parts rust through. Even the body of the differential rusted through. Runs very reliably at 240K, no body rust BUT FRAME RUST HAS ENDED THIS TRUCKS LIFE. Also, many parts are not available.

Smooth, Quiet Ride, Great Price
I don't require much passenger space, so no need to trade the long bed for the small second seating area. I am certainly having a hard time getting used to 16 miles per gallon. However, the mileage is pretty much on par with other trucks of its size. Edmunds "cost to own" feature shows it is the least expensive truck to own in its class (.40 cents per mile, compared to .47 and .48 cents per mile for the competitors). The ride is extremely smooth and quiet, and I do feel that the V6 provides adequate power for the light truck user. For folks like me who just fill the bed up with various items the V8 would provide excess power!
Transmission troubles
The 5 speed manual transmission vibrates too much. Two dealerships told me that was normal. Transmission seems to downshift itself even thought it is a manual transmission. Very uncomfortable feeling.
