I bought this used in the spring of 2009 with 22,000 miles on it. I'd just retired but needed a truck to haul the boat and do an occasional remodeling job. Since I have also have a car I don't put a lot of miles on it, it's 15 years old now and has 125k miles. This is hands down the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. The only repair it's needed is a starter which cost $125 and I installed it. After it was 10 years old the TPMS sensor batteries finally kaput, but that's to be expected. Even the original battery (said Toyota but was an Interstate) lasted 9 years. I've changed the oil (Mobil 1) every 5k miles, replaced the serpentine belt at 80'k miles along with the radiator hoses and changed all fluids at the recommended intervals except for the transmission fluid which has not been touched, which I'm going to let the dealer handle soon. The only time it's been in the shop or at the dealer was for the airbag recall and to get tires. There has not been a problem with any switch, display, system, or mechanism period. I did replace the head unit/radio with a more modern unit when I bought it for the Bluetooth to link my phone/music, but the original unit was still fine. There is no rust and the original paint looks great, but it is parked in a garage. It's also accident free. Nowadays I only log about 3 or 4 thousand miles a year on it, but the taxes ($28/year) and insurance are cheap. Considering the ridiculous price of new trucks, I'll keep this until either it, or I, dies. If every vehicle was this reliable, there would be a lot less repair shops!

I bought the Tundra Double Cab New in late 2005. It now has over 150,000 miles on it and it run as well as it did when new. I’ve had no significant issues with it. I’ve virtually always had it serviced at the Toyota every 5000 miles or so and have always Mobil One synthetic oil, and ride on Michelin tires. I’d like better gas mileage which is consistently around 16 mpg whether riding solo or towing a boat, but still I love this truck.

Have owned this since 1/06. Very comfortable ride! Lots of compliments on the mica blue color. Have been waiting a LONG TIME to get the recall work done (front suspension lower ball joints. Dealership says parts are back ordered). Could not get the running boards I originally ordered either - waited 6 mos. and then was told that the dealership no longer used that supplier. Settled for the "tube" type. Agree with most other reviewers - u-turns are K- turns! Really like the overall handling, braking is good, feel very safe in traffic.
Excellent Vehicle

Overall it's a good truck, I sacrificed comfort for durability. Driver seat is not comfortable and interior design is not very good but the ride is excellent.

I've had it for a year and I really enjoy it. Live in SA hillcountry and tow 6300lbs TT and get 10MPG with 89 octane. Very solid towing truck with plenty of torque on the climbs. 3 large adults and 1 small child and a dog share most of the ride and all give it a thumbs up. I like the transmission brake or downshift with descents, it helps with controlling the vehicle.
