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.

Bought in 2008 a 2005 SR5 Double Cab (4.7 liters V8) with only 15,000 miles on it. Today it's August 2020 and I still own it. I have done on it only regular maintenance plus a few parts were replaced: front brakes (twice), battery (twice), radiator, timing chain and TPA sensors (certified for 10 or 11 years, not sure). It still runs smooth, gas mileage is not fantastic, but decent; about 15-16 mpg. I have towed a car and trailer for 1,700 miles. Now the odometer shows about 135,000 miles. I paid for it (including a fiberglass cap) $16.600; the actual resell value might be in the 6-7,000 after 12 years of ownership. I was thinking to buy a 3 year old Highlander (I guess Toyota is my choice of brand now), but then I told myself. Why should I shell out about 20 grand for a nice and recent car, when this truck can easily last 5 or more years and hit the 500,000 miles life with very little maintenance cost expected. Heck I know a guy who finally replaced it when his hit the million miles mark. How many Ford and GM owners can say the same?

i've got 2 tundras ...an 05 and 06 05 has 307,000 miles with very little associated repairs...i did replace timing belt as precaution...06 just 200,000 miles...lol..also replaced timing belt as precaution...i believe with proper maintenance and regular oil changes that these 4.7 v-8 tundras will run a half a million miles...and no petty stuff breaking...interior and parts on both are as new...go figure,,,,go tundra...
Great Truck

I bought a new 05 double cab... great truck. It's got a lot of power and handles very comfortable both on the highway and on the dirt. My mother-in-law has driven it and is very impressed. It is also very quiet for a truck. I can get 5 big adults in it plus a lot of stuff in the bed and pull a big boat and have no problems! Reliability has been perfect so far. I have about 19000 miles on it so far. I could drive this truck all day and never get tired. You can't go wrong with this truck.
