My 2nd Tundra - totalled the first - but I was fine. New 5 speed transmission is ultra smooth. Engine smooth - low noise at highway speeds - another great ride. Sees limited off road use, but great when needed. Limited towing of 5000 lb trailer and equipment - does it without a problem and up a 10 percent grade hill.

This is a 4 year review. This should give used sales a boost. First, the reliability is superior. At 40,000, no major problems except for regular scheduled maintenance. I mainly use the truck for traveling. I average approx. 16 mpg. The comfort exceeds any truck I have owned previously. Handles a heavy load well. Load the truck up with timber and still rides like an SUV. The transmission is exceptionally smooth. After 4 years, my Tundra has held up well. I would certainly buy one again.

Just purchased a new Double Cab Tundra. The truck is amazing and best riding truck I have owned. I traded in a 99 Chevy Z71, which was a good truck, but the Tundra drives much nicer than the Chevy. I find the truck has plenty of power, despite other complaints on lack of horse power. I also test drove the Tocoma, but highly recommend the Tundra over the Tocoma. You can get a lot more options with the Tundra and only pay $1000.00 more.

Worth the money and the ride

I have owned my tundra for four years. It has been a workhorse and still rides like the day I brought her home. Mileage is 15/18 which isn't bad. No problems and engine is still silky smooth. Would buy another one. Tows my boat well and limited slip is very sure footed.

This is the greatest truck of all time. I was worried when they went big with the new Tundras and, although I haven't driven one, I can't imagine it being better than this one. It drives like a Camry but is a workhorse. It can tow a ton and is smooth and quiet. And it has the greatest feature of all time - the rear window rolls down so it feels like you're in a convertible. They do have a rust problem, but I would buy one of these if it were new in a heartbeat. Update: I drove one of the new ones and am very disappointed. Come on Toyota, for $60k, this should be an engineering marvel, not a plastic filled unupdated mess. The new Nissan's are cooler and that makes me sad to say.
