After having many chevy/gmc trucks, I was ready to get a truck I wouldn't be disappointed with. My SR5/TRD has been a pleasure to own & fun to drive. I look forward to the next time I have to drive somewhere. Having the tow package w/ 4.10 gears & the transmission oil cooler allows me to feel very confident that it's capable to handle any task the domestic trucks will do. With that in mind, the gear setting is also why I don't get good gas mileage(& I have a heavy right foot, LOVE the power). To sum things up, I wanted a smaller truck with full size capabilities & found it in the 06 Toyota TUNDRA SR5 access cab w/ TRD Off Road.
This truck rocks!

The more I drive it, the more I like it! I Just took a trip to a wild park north of where I live, 400 kilometers round trip, I was driving normally, using the air conditioning, I got 23.5 miles per gallon, U.S. gallons, I think that is pretty good! I use it to haul my snowmobile up to the mountains and drive to work. I just put a K&N reusable air filter on it this week, I noticed a little more snap off the line, but it was already a very quick little truck. All in all I am very happy with it.

At 20000 miles the tailgate would not let up and down. Inspected tailgate internal parts. The parts were real flimsy. Looked like they came from a Cracker Jack box. For a farmer, a truck without a tailgate is like a bird dog without a nose. The truck has no transmission dipstick. Only a dipstick engineer could design a transmission without a dipstick. I was told by Toyota that the transmission was sealed and could not leak, therefore no dipstick needed. At 30000 miles, I found a leak at drivetrain coupler where transmission is connected to engine. So much for building a transmission that cannot leak. Toyota dealer fixed it under warranty. As soon as warranty ran out, leak started again. Toyota refused to fix it, even though problem was originally never corrected under warranty. It was discovered the original leak came from the slip yoke, and the Toyota dealer changed the driveshaft seal, which was the wrong part. The leak was more of an ooze than a leak, so I let it go. Headlights were always weak. Paint on top of truck peeling at 70,000 miles, although vehicle was always garaged. Dash vibrates at glove compartment. The good news is that the noise drives my wife crazy, so she refuses to drive the vehicle. The only way I can sometimes stop the noise is by inserting a rag between dash and truck frame. Radio sound is awful. Air conditioner is barely adequate. At 45000 miles, when it rained, water began leaking down passenger side of dash into floorboard. Tried everything, finally fixed it by not driving in the rain. At 120,000 miles, water still leaking, transmission still leaking, paint still peeling, glove compartment still rattling, tailgate still unworkable. Air conditioner fan blower makes a horrible noise. The noise only happens when I turn it on, so, in summer, I now ride with my windows down. Incredibly, I have not had any major expenses on this truck. I just nurse it along. No need in paying for repairs. Something is always breaking. Also, at 15000 miles I noticed oil pressure guage took 6 seconds to register after starting engine. Toyota dealer said this was normal for V6. I would't trust them in a meat house with a muzzle on their face. The gas mileage is good, around 22 mpg on highway, and the ride is comfortable. Handling is good. Never had to align the front end in 15 years of driving. I have owned two other Toyotas that were great vehicles. My wife and daughter drives Hondas. They normally get up to 400,000 miles with only minor fixes. I raised this truck to 4 stars, because, with all the minor problems, the truck is still running great with 134,000 miles and no real major expenses, just annoying minor problems. Looks as though the powertrain is more rugged than the rest of the truck.

my 2006 just hit 30,000 miles. i bought the 7 year extended warrenty and that expired 2 years ago. eveything on the truck leaks or toyota lies and tells me something is broke. yes 30,000 miles. i just got my rear manifold fixed. toyota said the gasket was leaking. 450 dollars later another mechanic found it was not leaking. im out of that money. toyota wont stand behind what they say. my water pump is leaking. a whole bunch of other stuff is leaking. they want 2000 buck now for the other stuff. i dont know if i want to sell the truck or nickle and dime it to death. just confused as to what to do. everyone says its the cheapest truck to own. im just not to sure any more.
