Updated comment as 12/19/2021 Almost 90k miles now and still drive as a new truck. I haven't had any issues at all , the warranty on the truck is over ! I haven't had time to panic bc ik that there won't be any problems, just waiting for 100k to do a service that requires at that point, $2k on that and will be good to go for another few more yrs without any breaking the bank. Heard the 5.7l is out of the market and they won't bring this engine back again. Changed to gel battery AMG bc the OEM started to leak and my wires needed some cleaning up And since then no problems . I added the sway bars TRD (what an improvement) also added the Skid plate TRD for easier oil changes. Still have issues with tires, no matter what brand , still fishtailing at times , when wet roads. Moved to NW and WA state is raining all day all night. At 100k will update the real costs and you will see what I know the Toyota tundra is one of the best damn trucks out there. Good luck

This is my sixth consecutive Toyota truck since 1981 so no doubt I'm a faithful Toyota guy. I'm writing this review for one reason only and that's because of the lame integrated brake controller (IBC) in the 2016 Tundra. I've been towing a camper for the past 13 years and I know how to set them up and more importantly know when they are working. When I press on the brake pedal I get no felt braking from the camper even when set on the highest gain setting which considering the weight of my camper which is only 5,000 lbs. loaded, the highest gain setting should lock up my trailer brakes. I took it in for service with my camper and after a test drive while it was hooked up to a computer they said it was working correctly. That's fine for them, but if I jack-knife my camper, I'm the one who has to deal with the consequences of the accident. As the result of this situation, I installed an after-market BC and I'm now set to safely go camping.

First of all, the Tundra will get decent gas mileage if driven sanely. Feel's like a much more expensive vehicle than $39k . Mr. Sweers is correct about 5.7 iforce being a "kickass" engine., no need to change. Just love about all of the Tundra. This is an update.... my 2015 Tundra is king of the road, especially after a rough winter. I just feel extremely fortunate that Toyota is actually concerned about high quality. 9/13/17 Now have 34100 miles clocked...without a hiccup. Don't want to get complacent though. This Tundra is amazing.

I love my truck. Only needed to make minor modifications, like a steel bumper, and light bar. I’m towing more than I used to, and wish there were a diesel heavy duty Toyota would make. For an adult that does drive off road, but needs a daily driver, this is perfect. Not one problem! Towing mileage with a large horse trailer drops to about 10mph, but that about normal for a half ton. Ended up needing another, larger truck. So I’m going to have to sell. Still wish a 1 ton was made by toyota

I have owned this Tundra for 10 months now and for the most part am happy with it. Styling ,performance ,comfort , gas mileage are good but the interior dash and driver's side is poorly designed and the new 2017 is the same. The first design mistake was removing the grab handle from the driver's side ; I ordered the parts using a 2013 as reference and put it back on (cost about 150.00) . It is needed by some of us and I don't like using the steering wheel to pull myself in . The second mistake was taking away the daytime dash lights unless the parking lights or headlights are turned on . The dash looks drab and the small gauges are hard to see without dash lights ; I cannot see the savings for omitting them . The third mistake is the placement of controls . When sitting behind the wheel you cannot see the right side controls because the steering wheel completely blocks the view . There is no way that one can see them while driving without leaning far to the right and ducking your head down ; try that at 70 MPH.The lift side is a little better but not much . Lastly the window and door buttons are only lighted for the front ; the back buttons are dark. Very disappointed with the design and am surprised that the 2017 is the same.This is an update 3/22/207 - As of this date I no longer own this 2106 Tundra. I traded it three weeks ago for a 2017 Highlander AWD for following reasons. The Highlander is a very refined SUV with practically all of the new options included . I opted for the Limited AWD including thefactory hitch (5000 lb tow rate ) and am very satisfied with it . The Tundra and the Highlander are priced very similar but are worlds apart in development and features. This was my third Tundra but I felt that Toyota is not really behind the growth of the Tundra line. Toyota should take a hard look at their competition and just see how far they are behind in features and technology .Update 9/22/2017- I see that the 2018 Tundra is about the same as previous models ; no driver grab handle ,no daytime dash lights and hidden controls . But the 2018 Sequoia and Land Cruiser both have the driver side grab handle and daytime dash lights and no hidden controls . this shows me that Toyota is not serious about the truck line when similar models show features that Tundra omitted or do not have . The Tundra does not compare with Ford or Chevrolet or Dodge trucks in features or models offered .I guess Toyota is satisfied with being last in truck sales .Perhaps they should move best selling Camry designers to the truck division and let them revamp the Tundra and Tacoma .Update 3/25/2021. Still pleased with my Tundra ! No problems of any kind ;I get many compliments on the Tundra and especially the pleasant sound and looks of the TRD dual exhaust . When I bought this Tundra I really wanted the LB(8 ft) box fully equipped but although it is offered in the SR and SR5 models try to find one .My dealer searched the SE region and did not find one. Maybe I could have factory ordered one but not offered to me . And also when you go above the SR5 the short 5.5 box is all you can get ( good for about 2 bags of trash );I would have purchased the Limited for the extra options ie.push button start , leather etc.Toyota falls short when it comes to selection for the Tundra. However I like my Tundra and the few changes made really improved it but more changes are needed.
