Used 2006 Toyota Tundra Consumer Reviews
TRD
Regardless of what some write ups may say, my suspension and drive train and much much more stiff than any of my friends other trucks. I have the TRD and tow package and the suspension is uncomparable. Even though the horsepower rating may be less, It's "rear wheel" horsepower and not engine horsepower that's important. Even with less horsepower, my truck will still beat all of the competitors in the 1/4 mile. The drive train is very basic. All of the power from the motor goes directly to the rear without any traction control and other HP robbing items. The only problem is that I get a slight off start clunking from the rear. But I'm finding out that this is normal for this truck.
Not one single repair issue in 10 yrs
I purchased this truck when dealers were phasing out the 1st generation to make room for incoming 2007s. This is the best vehicle I have owned by far. All I have done is scheduled maintenance put fuel in it and go. No repairs. No issues. Rides smooth. Have pulled 6000# travel trailer for 22000+ miles and 16' utility trailer with tractor or whatever is loaded on it another 5 or 6000 mi. Pulls like a champ, has tow package with 3.92 rear differential. Installed air bags on rear, truck hauls everything I put in it dependably. Still in great condition. This could be the last truck I own.

It's a Toyota, what do ya expect?
I'm approaching 190k miles on my '06 Tundra. I drove it off of the lot with 9 miles on the odometer. The truck is great and have had no major issues with this truck. I have replaced the front brakes twice, the rear once. I have replaced the serpentine belt and spark plugs only one time. It seems the older the truck gets, the better the mileage is. Currently, I'm getting 17 mpg running regular unleaded fuel. I've had no leaks on any of the seals on the engine, transfer case, or differential. The truck rides as if it was new, with little road noise, vibration, or any unusual sounds that would raise concerns. If you are in the market and can find this truck with low mileage, I highly recommend this truck. My only complaint is that it only has the 4.7L 271hp engine, which is weak, but it will pull your trailer if you find the right gear.

2006 Tundra Limited 4Dr 4X4
I bought this new Tundra because a co-worker has one with 90K hard-driving miles and stil feels "new". I love the Tundra because it has ample room for 5 comfortable passengers, has an easy-to-use 4x4 system that has gotten me out of several icy situations. It has the refinement of a Mercedes-Benz combined with the fun of an ATV! After 2000 miles I would recommend this truck to anyone who needs a truck for family/projects/towing.
Good ride good truck
A very nice driver. Good pick up on the freeway. It is very comfortable to drive and sit in.
