B grade Sedan with a bed....A Grade Truck!

Out the gate I will give you the only negatives (more like just OK instead of great) about this truck. First, the suspension in the rear is stiff/tight (to handle the 10K lb tow capacity); it rides like a 4WD that tows 10K lbs. Secondly, the gas mileage is below average. The trade off gives one a responsive power plant of an engine. This bad boy out accelerates the competition with and without a load. Thirdly, Toyota has got to get on board with some more USB ports...seriously....1? I've driven many trucks and managed a fleet of half ton to 2 ton trucks. Really, the Tundra is now more like an F-250 or Chevy/Ram 2500s than the F150, 1500s. Test drive all of the half tons and see which one makes you feel like you're driving a beast. It's the Tundra hands down. The other half ton pick ups really don't hold a candle. Pros...you'll be on the side of the road with a breakdown 75% less than if you buy a Dodge , Chevy, or even Ford (best domestic in my opinion). Resale value best of them all. Turn radius is great for a 4WD truck this size. Crew Max is ridiculously roomy. This truck just kicks azz. All you really have to understand is what you're getting...a powerful, roomy, reliable, SERIOUS truck that won't let you down. If you're not going to tow or go offroad, and really just want a truck for the family and occasionally haul a piece of furniture...get an F-150.

If only the IBC worked

Great truck but I'm sure disappointed in the integrated brake controller. I had a Prodigy P3 in muy 2013 and it worked great. Was so excited about the IBC in the 2013 that I sold the P3 for peanuts. Big mistake. Looking at the Tundra forums, I now see that this is a common problem. Hope TMC addresses this ASAP before someone gets hurt. Sad that the only thing I can mention about an otherwise decent truck is the IBC.

2016 Tundra, IBC doesn't work!

Drove 850 miles to P/U a TT. Within a mile I found out the integrated brake controller didn't work at all no matter what setting it was set at. The manual slide does work. Drove all the way home without the IBC. Thanks Toyota! What a let down. Did some research when I got home and found out none of the IBCs work on the 2016 Tundras. Do an online search and you can read all kinds of complaints but Toyota has not even acknowledged it yet. With all the documented problems, what's going to happen when someone unknowingly starts down the Hwy thinking he has trailer brakes and ends up with someone being killed. Who's gonna be at fault? Toyota, you better get this fixed and fast!

New but not improved

New but not improved. The engine, transmission, and body remain the same which is good. However some smaller items have been changed. Duel climate control is only on the Limited version and higher. Grab handles for assist into the cab are no longer there. The two glove boxes is now one. The flip open pen holders in the door front doors are gone. Most notable the rear seat used-to slide forward and lean back for rear passenger comfort and sleep. Also the rear seatback no longer leans forward to allow storage behind the rear seat. The area behind the old seat allowed for storage of overalls, tools, jacket, boots and even a fishing rod. The small space below the new rear seats provide much less storage. Exteriorly the bumper now is a three piece bumper versus previous one piece solid bumper. Many of these smaller changes save cost of production and probably don’t influence sales. It’s good Toyota is finding ways to reduce cost of production however the cost savings doesn’t appear to be passed onto consumers. I would still recommend Toyota for its reliability. Luckily I don’t have to replace my old truck yet. Maybe the next truck will be new and improved. One area of improvement could be larger A/C indicator lights. Right now the indicator lights including park and drive often need to be shadowed to be seen. Another improvement could be to change the angle of the windshield. Remember old trucks with nearly straight up windows? The straight angle was for a purpose, to reduce interior heart and glare. CPT Robert Auch RN

Living in the Colorado Rocky Mountains can demand a lot of it's residents and their vehicles. The Tundra is clearly up for the challenge.
