I purchased this truck brand new on July 28, 2005 and I have put only 17600 miles on it, because I only drive 5 miles to work and I have been loving it since day one. Since I own a home this truck is so useful. Driving is fun and so comportable for a short or long drive. It's been almost 3 years now I have not been in the shop for any kind of repair other than oil change. I am happy with the quality and the reliability of this truck. I think I have made a good choice.

when i first bought this truck mileage wasnt very good but after installing bed cover and removing exhaust from cats back and installing twin flo masters and cold air induction system it jumped to 19 miles per gallon on average and performance increase was substancial. i also put inroad and track shocks , changed tire size to 275/60/17 hancook ventus tires and handling is really good wet or dry. maintaince has been very good with no major problems . having it repainted now and figure to get many more miles out of it . should mention she has 207000 miles on her now

I still love my Tundra with no rust and 199,000

Gas mileage is not the best. I traded a 1998 Ford F150 with the 4.6 V8 and got 2-3 better MPG in town. The truck is sound and comfortable and drives straight and easy. The truck was a high mile purchase but have all the service records available on line from day 1. The timing belt and water pump were changed at 90,000 miles as requested. The check engine light came on at 180,000 miles causing me to go to my local favorite repair shop. Their bill for $190.00 to tell me nothing was wrong makes me think that at 180,000 the check engine light must come on when the interval, 90,000 miles comes up. Saved me $800.00 not having to change it out now. All in all, I really like the truck. I had to put a new timing belt, watern pump, and fan belt on. It took the mechanic a bunch of extra time as the nuts and bolts were a bit rusted but the $900 I spent in Dec. 2022 was a lot cheaped than a new motor.

I have owned five Toyota Products. They are by the best vechiles on the road for the money. My Tundra Truck was by far the best of all of them. It has never let me down. She still drives like she just came out of the show room. Like I have told the people in the maintance department Toyota Trucks are like a Timex Watch, they can take a licking but they keep on running.

Great Truck. Bought used with 42000 miles on it in 2012. My only complaint is car seat latch placement. Behind driver, and in center. Rough getting 2 car seats in these locations at the same time. 2.5 inch lift on 285/75/R16's contribute to the poor gas mileage. Edit. Took lift off, put OEM size tires on and mpg only improved to 12.5. I have a heavy gas pedal foot.
