Wonderful truck. Have had all the others and no comparison. Rides well, handles well and smaller V8 handles my needs. Same story on gas mileage as everyone else, but the same or near all the others. Paint seems thin and scratches way to easy. Truck needs door mouldings and doors ding easily. Upgraded wheels are dull and lifeless.
First Toyota - last truck ever!

If someone would've told me ten years ago that today I would own any truck other than a Chevrolet (especially a Toyota), I would've died laughing at them. I bought a left over '08 model for my wife and she can't keep me out of it. The performance for a full sized truck is amazing. My daily driver is an '06 Nissan Altima SE-R, and the truck is as fun to drive as the car is. I'm actually thinking about getting rid of the car to buy one of the Tundra TRD Sport Editions for myself. Gas mileage is my only complaint, HOWEVER, I knew it wasn't going to be great when I bought it. Let's face it, in order to tow 5 tons, you gotta give somewhere. Having said that, it still gets 18mpg on the highway.

I drive a lot. Have an E350 van, F250 diesel, Tribeca and this combines all of those vehicles abilities into one - and that was the point. In 3 months I have traveled 11,500 miles inc'l east to west coast r/t via Dallas. Total av gas is 16.2. Rides great on ALL surfaces. Have just towed a loaded 5 x 8 trailer and a full bed (appx 5000 lbs total) that trip alone was 1300 miles avg gas was 15.6 - bottom line this vehicle has loads of room, features, and therefore offers me 4 vehicles in one, van like space & hauling, SUV like passenger room, great gas and truck like towing. With the 4.7 V8 and an 8 ft bed I can still hit 60 in about 7.5 seconds if I need to. Best vehicle I have ever owned!!

THE BAD: Extensive Frame Rust and Toyota will no longer perform a coating treatment. Can see daylight right through bed. Bad air injection pumps that a person (including Toyota themselves) cannot even diagnose. $2900 from dealer quoted (completed the job myself in my driveway in 2 hours with Toyota parts for $250). Bad secondary air injection pumps in passenger wheelwell. Differential is clicking (sounds like Technical Service Bulletin issue). Radio went bad and cost $600 to have dealer replace. Trailer running lights dead at plug and not fuse, relay, or plug. Others have experienced this issue on the forums (probably another Toyota issue). Gas mileage is junk. THE GOOD: Roomy interior. 5.7L is strong (at the compromise of mpg). Nice looking truck. Thats about it. Will probably buy a Ram Rebel 1500 Ecodiesel next and never buy Toyota again. There were so many issues with this truck right out of the box. Toyota engineers need to get their heads on straight... I'm a mechanical myself, this vehicle is a ticking time bomb.

Love the truck but it has some serious acceleration problems and transmission problems . With 19,000 miles on it I have to replace my tires . Previously owned to two Dodge rams and for the price rams are much better for everything but the ride. Toyota beats ram in ride and smoothness . Toyota way to expensive. For that type of truck. The biggest downfall is the sensitive gas pedal . Very dangerous
